Game RantLatest Reviews
Ultimately, many of the core Alan Wake design problems return in American Nightmare - leading to a bizarre mishmash of cool ideas that are undermined by extremely repetitive gameplay experiences. However, Alan Wake's American Nightmare does provide another engaging trip through the mind of the titular writer. Fans who enjoy the combat mechanics and main storyline will likely be satisfied by this downloadable release - which offers plenty of intriguing story ideas plus more monsters, better weaponry, and a likable, albeit forgettable, arcade offering. That said, hopefully Remedy manages to improve upon the core mechanics even further (as well as brings back the tense and scary atmosphere) when the titular writer returns for Alan Wake 2.
