Alan Wake Remastered Reviews
If you look at Alan Wake Remastered as a brand new game that you never played before, you'll definitely have some good time with this psychological thriller, but if you already played the original version then don't expect any significant changes as the 2 versions are basically the same.

Alan Wake Remastered, as Agent Cooper would say, is like a great cup of coffee, of the black one, and served hot; however, you will have to be a coffee lover to be able to fully appreciate it. Remastered or not, the original game was also great at the time and in this version it can also be appreciated on Sony consoles after the end of the previous exclusivity due to the collaboration between Microsoft and Remedy.

Alan Wake finds new life on modern platforms, looking better than ever before.
Alan Wake remastered is a good upgrade, both for old fans and new. The new textures and the modernized lighting system make the game a lot prettier to look at. A pity the cutscenes are 30 fps locked and their animations a bit sluggish, though.

Alan Wake Remastered has provided improvements in quality, graphics, and a high frame rate, and it is the best version for those who want to experience the game, but this improvement did not solve the game's problem, which are repetition in missions and enemies.

Alan Wake remains one of remedy's best studio games and offers an exciting adventure that is recommended for anyone who has never had the chance to try the game before.
With a remaster that leaves something to be desired with the lack of 4K resolution, minor bugs and a stable performance, Alan Wake manages to lock you in with an excellent narrative and an engaging story, making a repetitive gameplay go unnoticed most of the time. Still, if we compare it to the original release, for sure this is the best version to get to play at the moment.

While some of the game’s mechanics haven’t aged super well, it’s still a fun and eerie ride through Bright Falls, and it is enjoyable to see where Remedy came from. If I had played this game when it first came out, I think I would have appreciated it more, but that isn’t to say Alan Wake Remastered isn’t worth your time. If you’re looking for an eccentric and spooky story with some zany characters and good gameplay, spend some time with Alan in Bright Falls.
If an excuse exists to play Alan Wake its the Remastered version, although its age and repetitiveness can show.

A graphical facelift will be appreciated by fans, and make it easier for newcomers to experience a cult classic. However the game itself has not been improved and shows its age across its dull repetitive combat, stilted animations and decade old ideas. The Remaster doesn’t shed new light on a game that might have been better remembered remaining in nostalgic darkness.
Alan Wake Remastered is one of the best survival horror games of the eighth and ninth generations that you can experience.

Up until that bizarre glitch, enjoying Alan Wake Remastered was like the best kind of deja vu. Muscle memory steered me toward the hidden caches, triggered reminders to backtrack just a little here and there or look around that corner for collectibles. Alan's somewhat stiff voice, the ancient rockers, Barry-all of these things, campy as they were, welcomed me home. Those cold waters of Cauldron Lake sure are impossible to escape.

Alan Wake Remastered is a game worth trying because the original version was and still is a very special action and horror game, the remastered version does not offer a lot of improvements but is a very fun experience for fans of this type of games and who missed out on the original experience

The only thing changes in Alan Wake Remaster is its improved graphic visuals. And players once again fall in Bright Falls which haven't changed a bit. It is old but fascinating if you have never entered there.

The original was always highly simplistic and repetitive, and neither the passage of time or being in 4K can do anything to improve this disappointingly trivial actioner.
As a big fan of the original, the announcement of Alan Wake Remastered was a pleasant surprise. And while I enjoyed my time with it, I can’t help but feel like this is merely a tiny taste of what’s to come. Veterans of the franchise won’t find any reason to go back, and if they do, they may even find that the memory of playing Alan Wake is better than the game itself. Newcomers will find a lot to love; however, granted, they can grind through its annoyances.
