FINALLY ON PC

The critically acclaimed and BAFTA nominated, TIME magazine Game of the Year Alan Wake, finally comes to PC! From Remedy, the creators of Max Payne arrives a heart pounding Psychological Action Thriller, further refined and enhanced for the PC. The game comes with two special episodes, The Signal and The Writer.

About the Game:

When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.

Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.

With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an entertaining and original gaming experience.

ENHANCED FOR THE PC

Includes Alan Wake Special Episodes “The Signal” and “The Writer”.
Experience Alan Wake’s Pacific Northwest in higher resolutions and higher fidelity than the Xbox360 version.
Fully configurable mouse and keyboard support, or if you prefer to play with the Microsoft gamepad connected to your PC, you can do that too!
Lots of customizable graphics settings and support for 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios!
Multithreaded engine that takes advantage of quad core CPUs.
Additional features our fans have sought after such as field of view adjustment as well as “hide HUD”.
Works with AMD Eyefinity 3D 3-screen mode.
Works with NVIDIA NVISION2 Stereoscopic 3D.

Alan Wake is HIGHLY Underrated

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2012

Platform For Display: PC DownloadEdition: Collector's BundleVerified Purchase

I have never seen very much in the way of reviews on this game, so I felt that I was taking a bit of a risk when I bought it, even though I got it at a reaaaally great sale price. I have to say... Even if I had not gotten this on sale, I would have been completely satisfied. It is an amazing game with an amazing story, and it has a fan-FREAKING-tastic soundtrack to boot. Some might say it's short, but it's no shorter than a lot of games are these days. Do I wish it lasted a little longer? Yes. But did I literally play it from the minute I woke up to the time I went to sleep? Sadly, yes... Very few games have kept me going like that, and the unique gameplay of Alan Wake is now among those sad days where I'm not even sure if I stepped outside.

Very immersive storyline

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2014

To start the game has a fantastic story and engulfs the player in plot. On a scale of 1 through 10 I would rate the game a 7, the graphics are impressive for how old the game is. The game is focused around the main character who is a writer and on a vacation when various event unfold that are in-between realities per say. The enemies you battle are figments of the imagination of Alan Wake and you play through the story never knowing what to expect next. Highly recommend you play this game for the story and fun gameplay.

I have no idea if the game itself is worth anything. Brand new Dell PC running new graphics cards. Game would glitch constantly and every issue blamed on the PC by support. Constantly told I need to upgrade the PC or Graphics Card. This is not a brand new game, and every PC in my home reacted the same way. Finally quit trying to play.

Wake me up when It's over..

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2012

Platform For Display: PC DownloadEdition: Collector's Bundle

I heard a lot of good things about this game and I've played similar games in this genre before.
My favorite has to be Nocturne from 1999 (if you like horror/creepy games be sure to dig up a copy of it).

With Alan Wake however I just couldn't get into it and here's why:

1) Camera and controls. It's obviously a console port and suffers from the typical "consolitis" of not being properly tweaked for the PC platform.
The camera is hard to control, the FOV is small and it doesn't let you zoom out very far.
It feels more automatic then it is user controlled.

2) The game flow it's obviously story driven. It's controlled, you are supposed to go from sequence 'A' to 'B', to 'C' and so on. This is not so much a bad thing it it's self but I felt a bit like I was playing "connect the dots" too much.

3) And overall from what I saw of it the story feels pretty pretentious.
At the opening there is a Stephen King quote which is right as it sets the tone for the game.
But apparently the designers/writer(s) of this game imagine they are comparable to King.
Things are delivered to you in this way as if you are supposed to be majorly impressed by events as they are rolled out rather then just letting them happen and the player eliciting their own reaction.

4) Finally the real problem I have with this game is this whole darkness thing.
Understood it's supposed to set the "dark and scary" atmosphere but it's so dark it leads to a strain just to play, move around, and get a sense of where you are.

Towards the start of the game I needed to get to a power generator inside of a shack to power the lights on.
I had to slide along the walls spamming the action key 'E' to finally brute force it's door's activation point as it wasn't at all visible.
Then a few times falling to my death off the sides of cliffs that I couldn't even see.
There is no map, just some kind of confusing directional indicator.
You do get a flash light past a certain point but since it's part of the game's combat mechanics you can't use it to illuminate your way.

I went to the game settings to make adjustments only to find according to the game calibration screen that my monitor settings were already too bright!

If I really want that this kind of "fun" I could do it for free by just walking around the house at night in pitch black to see how many times I can smash my shins and poke my self in the eye.

For a game, this is just too tedious to be fun.
What they could have done as in the case of this generator shack would be just make the door a bit more visible by highlighting or making it glow a little.
Things that you need to interact with are more significant (from the background and fluff), they could be indicated as such visually.

Skip this one, unless you have masochistic tendencies..

An otherwise good game marred by poor design...

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2014

Platform For Display: PC DownloadEdition: Collector's BundleVerified Purchase

The biggest flaw with this game is the odd camera angle. It's as if the player's view is slightly off center. In other words, you look to the side of where you want to go when walking. I wonder why Remedy chose this?

Other than that, the game is mediocre at best. There is a genuine sense of uneasiness at times, but it gets ruined by some of the odd choices the developers made. For example: The "taken" tell you random facts. I mean, it's not scary. It just ruins the moment by being, well... dorky.

The combat in the game could be better also. You *must* dodge for most of the game. If you want to run in a shoot everything, you will be disappointed. This game is not geared up for that. You're better off trying to outrun enemies. Even if you have the reflexes to dodge and enough batteries for your flashlight, you're guaranteed to run out of ammo frequently. You've got to be very stingy with your use of ammo in this game.

Another problem is that Alan cannot run and aim/shoot at the same time. You want to shoot? They you've got to walk or stand still. No other option. It's just another weird design decision Remedy made. I was left shaking my head at this one. It's humanly possible to run and shoot at the same time, so why can Alan Wake not do it? This leads to much frustration during combat.

I wouldn't buy the game unless it was to be had for less than $10.

very fun, good characters and atmosphere

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

Platform For Display: PC DownloadEdition: Collector's BundleVerified Purchase

This is a pretty fun game. It's a Stephen King inspired mix of horror and action shoot 'em up. The atmosphere is great and so are the characters. You fight the darkness with light and guns. It was recently removed for purchase for a long while over music license and is now back. Get it while you can. The other game American Nightmare isn't as good. It's still worth checking out at a cheap price. I still enjoyed it. It's not really a sequel. It's more like a mini extra game. I hope we get a true sequel in the future. The collector's edition includes a music video and the soundtrack, developer commentary videos and an illustrated PDF book.
