Worthplaying writes, "To call Alan Wake a "game" is to do it a disservice. While technically correct, Alan Wake is more than just another video game. Much like Batman: Arkham Asylum, Alan Wake is a carefully crafted narrative experience. Yes, there is action and combat, but they aren't the focus. Remedy's goal with Alan Wake was to craft a carefully balanced world that looks normal on the surface, yet hides a dark side within. To this end, the team has succeeded brilliantly, and the resulting roller-coaster ride is well worth the investment."
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."
Remedy has announced a new Alan Wake book and more as part of their anniversary celebration.
Remedy Entertainment has revealed that Max Payne 1 & 2 remake has achieved critical development goals, while Control 2 is in full production.
I have seriously HIGH hopes for these remakes, hope they can live up to my own hype 🦖.
Another nice score.
