Alan Wake II

This is just pure excellence! All of the fans who waited for more than 10 years will have a great time playing this game. Alan Wake 2 submerges you into a world of mystery, thrilling adventure and psychological horror. Every bit of the game unfolds in a brilliant pattern that just doesn't get boring. The graphics feel almost as if you are playing a movie. The gameplay might be challenging at times, but the story makes up for it big time. Don't listen to the people who give it bad reviews, do yourselves a favor and just dive right in. I rarely buy games just for the story, and since I bought this, I can happily assure you that the money was well spent!

All in all, the second installment beats the first one hands down. I loved Alan Wake 1, but Alan Wake 2 just edges the first one, thus takes the crown from its predecessor. This game has a huge potential to win GOTY as it's just a terrific game!

If Stephen King and David Lynch had a baby this would be it - It's creepy & completely bonkers.

I've not felt uneasy playing a game since P. T & the first few hours of Outlast, and this excels in that department, the use of sound, music and lighting to elicit fear is exceptional. & the occasional cheap jump scare I loved.

Writing, voice work, and combat is a massive step up from the first game.

A special shout-out to the episode "We sing" - absolute brilliant insanity and the use of lighting in this level *chefs kiss*.

It has a few minor technical issues as of writing this, with some scenes where lip syncing is out & a few bugs & no physical copy coming was disappointing.

I didn't think anything would get close to BG3 for my GOTY but this is running it close.

Remedy have long been a favourite studio of mine, always pushing the boat out in terms of creativity, story telling, and gameplay. Here, they shine with their best work yet, building on the universe they began to build with their last game, Control, delivering a story I couldn't stop thinking about and a world I couldn't stop exploring. The original Alan Wake was a game I would always defend, not limited by its sometimes repetitive gameplay and flaws, as it was unlike anything I had ever played before. With Alan Wake 2, Remedy delivers masterful survival horror, balanced with a gripping psychological thriller and truly groundbreaking storytelling. If that isn't enough, the gameplay and graphics are pushing the bounds of anything we have seen before on current gen. A must play.

Alan Wake 2 is a stunning sequel that surpassed my expectations. I was blown away by the captivating story, the immersive gameplay, and the brilliant performances of the actors. The writers did a fantastic job of creating a thrilling and mysterious plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. The game is full of twists and turns, references to pop culture, and nods to the original Alan Wake. The actors, especially Ilkka Villi and Matthew Porretta, who voice Alan Wake and his alter ego Mr. Scratch, respectively, delivered their lines with emotion and intensity. They made me feel like I was part of the story, not just a spectator. The game also has stunning graphics, sound effects, and music that enhance the atmosphere and mood of the game. Alan Wake 2 is a masterpiece that deserves all the praise and recognition it can get. It is one of the best games I have ever played and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves action, adventure, and horror genres.

I haven't finished the game yet, but until now the game has been amazing. It curtainly is not sandbox-game like GTA and RDR2, and I think it's part of it's strength. I don't want to spoil anything for players, so I don't want to reveal too much about the plot.

I want to give props for all team but especially for actor Ilkka Villi, I think he has made incredible job in this game. His confusion during the studio-scene made me too confused as hell. Only thing that bothers me that they have changed his voice (seeing his work in Sorjonen etc, it just feels weird). If you havent seen his work before you wouldn't even notice this.

All in all, this game is something unusual and special. Although I'm definitely seeing this through white-and-blue-glasses (I'm finnish), I think this is the most absorbing game I have ever played. You just want to continue the story to find out more.

Congrats to makers, and I hope other players find it as great as I have found!
