Alan Wake Remastered

Barring some antiquated gameplay elements from a decade ago, Alan Wake Remastered is a stellar facelift for a beloved action-horror thriller experience.

That being said, those who enjoyed Alan Wake back in the 360 era will no doubt find some joy with the Remaster and those who are visiting Bright Falls for the first will definitely enjoy it. It's just a little dated.

I don't see why anyone shouldn't pick this title up; it's phenomenal, enthralling, and — possibly most important — fun.

If you've never played Alan Wake, this is the best possible way to experience the game. For anyone who loves horror or Remedy's other titles, there's a ton to unpack here with an engaging narrative and stellar gameplay. The remastered enhancements bolster the game even further, giving it a place in today's gaming world, and while the gameplay doesn't perhaps hold up as well as it did in 2010, Alan...

Alan Wake Remastered easily stands on its own among modern, similar games due to its exceptional design, tight execution, and handful of technical improvements.

Alan Wake Remastered doesn’t overhaul the original foundations, but it does add welcome improvements to a game that has mostly stood the test of time.

As a long-time Alan Wake fan it's been hard seeing the game get so much hate over the years.

Alan Wake Remastered hits the mark as a remaster. It’s a tangible improvement in visual fidelity and performance that interested first-time players should be directed to, but I wouldn’t recommend veterans dive back in, as they’ve likely seen all it has to offer. Alan Wake Remastered is out today for $29.99 on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, and the Epic Games Store.

Alan Wake is a name few people will recognise outside the video game cultural zeitgeist, i.e. if you didn’t play it when it was released all the way back in 2010, you’ve most likely never played or heard about it since. Despite its soon to be discovered brilliance in game design, it never quite reached the same level of mainstream appeal that its far more recognisable predecessor, Max Payne, seeme...

From Remedy Entertainment comes a remaster of their 2010 game Alan Wake which could aptly be described as good enough.

There were so many factors pointing towards the Nintendo Switch port of Alan Wake Remastered to be a beautiful disaster of cataclysmic proportions. The first factor was the Switch’s hardware itself, known for not being able to properly render a demanding AAA outing, unless your name is DOOM or The Witcher 3. The second factor was Remedy and Epic quietly dropping the game on the eShop without prior...

The original was always highly simplistic and repetitive, and neither the passage of time or being in 4K can do anything to improve this disappointingly trivial actioner.
