Alan Wake Game Review
Check out these awesome new games The Witcher 3, Watch Dogs Legion.
Alan Wake, a psychological thriller that was only available for Xbox at first, is finally coming to PlayStation consoles as Alan Wake Remastered, more than a decade after it came out for Xbox. For people who already like the game, this is a chance to feel nostalgic and play a favourite game from the past that looks better than ever. But PlayStation owners who are used to the best third-person narrative adventures might not understand what all the fuss is about when they play Alan Wake for the first time in 2021.
The game starts with a dream sequence, which gives you a chance to learn how combat works without being so obvious as to call it a tutorial. Once that's done, the real story can begin. Alan Wake is a thriller writer who is having trouble coming up with new ideas. He and his wife go to a log cabin in Bright Falls, Washington. She hopes that the beautiful scenery will inspire him to write, and it might, but not in the way she thinks.
Things go bad quickly when Alan yells at his wife for buying him a typewriter to motivate him. Before you can say, "Hey Alan, calm down; it's just a typewriter," his wife is taken by unknown forces. Then, after what seems to be an accident, our main character wakes up behind the wheel of a car. Was it all just a dream? Did he really lose his wife? Is she alive now? Why are the people who live in Bright Falls so weird?
All of these questions and more become the game's main focus and its best card. It has a Twin Peaks-like feel, with creepy characters who make you uncomfortable even though they seem nice, and a wooded area that feels far enough away from a big city to make you worry that all kinds of terrible things could happen before help arrives. The game is even divided into chapters, just like a TV show, with a pointless "Previously on..." at the beginning, a title screen, and music at the end.
Alan Wake does a great job, for the most part, of setting the mood. Unfortunately, playing Alan Wake is a miserable, boring chore, so most of the parts in between the set pieces will probably make most players angry. Combat is so bad that it would be better if most of it didn't happen at all. As you move from one "cookie-cutter" location to the next, you'll face waves of "copy-and-paste" bad guys who need almost the same strategies to beat them over and over again, forever.
The Taken, who have given in to an evil force called the Dark Presence and are now out for blood, are your main enemies. To kill the Taken, you have to shine your torch on them to take away the protection that the darkness gives them. After that, you can shoot them. So you basically light a torch and shoot, then light a torch and shoot again. If this was a five-minute break in a game with more of a story, it would be fine as a change of pace, but as the main part of the game, it's boring and repetitive to an unfathomable degree.
Worse, the battles are so boring that you won't fear them because they're scary or exciting, but because you're sick of them and want to move on to the next part of the story. All six of Alan Wake's chapters, plus the two bonus ones that come with this remaster, take about two to three hours, but they could be half as long and twice as good. Fighting never gets more interesting than what it is in the tutorial, which isn't very good.
The monotony isn't helped at all by the fact that your enemies, the places you visit, and the tasks you have to do are all the same. You know how in games, when you get to the door and there's no power, you can't open it, So you have to go locate the generator in order to turn it on, and then you have to walk all the way back? It's an old trick that gives you something to do and makes the game last longer. You have to do things like that over and over again here, in the same boring woods, against the same enemies, and it stinks.
At times, Alan Wake's repetition is so much like itself that it's almost funny. Almost every chapter starts with you getting lost in the woods, being separated from everyone, and having lost all of your gear. It just keeps happening. When a chapter starts with you riding in a car to your next destination, You probably wonder how much longer it will be before the car gets run off the road and you find yourself stuck in the woods once more, and you'll be right to ponder that.
So, it's safe to say that we're not big fans of Alan Wake. But even if you don't like the way the game is played, if you like games for their stories and atmosphere, there's a lot to like about it. You might have more fun than we did if you turn the difficulty down to easy and just try to get through the shootouts as quickly as possible, but as a whole or for action fans, it's hard to recommend.
Remedy did a great job remastering the game for modern consoles, but most of the changes are just cosmetic, unlike what Mass Effect: Legendary Edition did for the game's gameplay. The character models are better than in the first game, and the sneaky product placement has been removed. Loading times are lightning fast for PS5 players, which makes game overs less frustrating than they would be otherwise, and there's a new audio commentary for superfans.
While we're trying to end on a more upbeat note, it's important to note that Alan Wake has a great soundtrack. The original score goes well with the action and the scary situations you'll find yourself in. There are also some great licenced songs from artists like Nick Cave, Roy Orbison, and David Bowie that are used sparingly. So at least listen to the music from the movie on Spotify.
This stripped-down remaster is the best way for fans of the 2010 game to play it on a modern console, but in 2021, most of the game just doesn't hold up. The video game Alan Wake is not effective as a horror game because it does not contain any frightening content. It doesn't work as a thriller because the game is extremely boring for long stretches of time. It doesn't work as an action game because the fighting is dull and repetitive. There's an interesting mystery at the heart of this story, but you'll have to go through hell to find it, just like Alan Wake.
