One thing that I have noticed, is that enemies take quite many bullets to take down, but you don't have that many to begin with.

Will there be difficulty levels?

(Edit) yes it will

I hope DF has a video out too, want to see if there's any notable differences between PS5/SX so I can choose which version to buy.

Alan Wake II Review - IGN

Alan Wake II is a superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult-classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison.

All I need to know is if we've got a rock solid 60 FPS on PS5 and I'll show Remedy love and pull the trigger now though I've got my hands full with Spider-Man 2 and Lords of the Fallen.

Awesome. Fantastic reviews.

Any word on PS5 performance?

 

[amigastar]

Great score, now if i only wouldn't be such a pussy when it comes to horror games

 

[analog_future]

 

[Thanofski88]

Is there any ray tracing on ps5 even on 30 fps ???

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Awesome. Congrats Remedy, you beautiful Finns. Can’t wait to see what they do with the Max Payne remakes.

 

[Luipadre]

Jesus christ my excitement was already through the roof but these reviews... Hope it gets the massive success Remedy deservers. CANT FUCKING WAIT

 

[R3TRO]

Good reviews, I’m definitely looking forward to this as a palate cleanser after that shitshow spider man 2.

Awesome. Fantastic reviews.

Yeah DF just released a video and all I can say is

The other 10s they gave this year was to BG3 and Zelda TotK. God damn!!

 

[Chuck Berry]

The alluring power of its contrasting settings only further enhances its mystery, but while the lakeside shores of Bright Falls present some stunning sunset scenes and detail-rich forest surrounds, it’s the grimy, neon-soaked New York plaza setting of Alan’s stages that really show off the immense skill of Remedy’s team of artists. Resembling the kind of nightmare you might have after spending 24 hours eating cheese and watching Taxi Driver and Mean Streets on a loop, this rotten slice of the Big Apple is a haunting otherworld that I found consistently compelling to explore, from the graffiti-covered construction areas to the menacing sprawl of subway tunnels that lie beneath its surface.

God fucking dammit Im in

Fuck 2023, fuck videogames and fuck man, my wallet

Kinda Funny: 5/5

90+. The game is arthouse as fuck and has some interesting game design ideas. That's going to go a long way with critics right now. Arguably with the online gaming community that seems dissatisfied with industry output over the last 3-5 years.

Told ya.

This is going to be so sweet on PC. Can’t wait!!!!

 

[Ogbert]

Can’t wait.

Will probably be my GoTY.

 

[balls of snow]

And you guys doubted Remedy lol.
That 10 from gamespot.

 

[SCB3]

God dammit, now I can't ignore it

So decisions, PS5 or push my PC, I have a 6650xt and a 5600x with 32gb DDR4 RAM, should be decent enough for 1080p 60fps I think

[The Infectious Paradox]

Karak comments regarding PC performance. I'm listening to his review and it's more critical than the others

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

I had voted 71-75. I am glad I was wrong!

 

[Caio]

Amazing, now let's go with the PS5 VS XSX, I feel the need of popcorn.
Kidding aside, this really looks like a Gem, a Day One, oh yeah

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Finally a game I'm super hyped for gets great reviews, let's fucking go!

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Well, it's spooky season. I didn't think this would be worth dropping $70, but I think my mind has been changed. Happily surprised.

 

[Null Persp]

"Mark spent 26 hours unraveling Remedy's dizzying scheme, and naturally, many more questions remain. A PC review code was provided by the publisher."
26 hours, that's good to hear.

 

[Xtib81]

Damn, we eating. Super happy for the team.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Games made in Europe are killing it this year!

 

[64bitmodels]

Funny things is there are too many people thinks unless the game gets 90+ it’s not worth buying, so basically score 84-85 considered shit now…..why? Who knows.

I mean that's the result of raised standards. 2023's sheer quality of games is having an effect on people's baseline.
