Alan Wake is not quite the revelatory experience we hoped it would be, but it’s a solid and entertaining game that’s rich in atmosphere, with good combat mechanics and an intriguing story. It’s a shame Remedy didn’t evolve the gameplay a little more as the game progressed – a wider variety of enemies in particular would have been appreciated, and we think there are definitely some missed opportunities to really make the player panic – a few of the set pieces fell flat, while stripping Alan of his torch and weapons repeatedly didn’t serve enough of a purpose. Even so, this is a game that deserves to be played to the end.

Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.
I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
Alan Wake 2 continues the writer's story, 13 years later.
Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
guys its a great game,
whats your problem ? i dont get it. play it or not its your decision no need to start hating on it or making it look bad.
since when is a game only good when it reaches a met of 90+ ???
wrong world seriously
be a gamer play games not consoles
I'm still getting this game along with Red Dead Redemption. My main problem with this game is the 545p resolution so I'm hoping for a PC version in the near future, I'd double dip.
but for a game that has taken this long to come out, anything less then a 9 is kinda disappointing
