<div class="bbWrapper">Got this pre-ordered on the Epic Store (but really do wish it had been on Steam... I expect, like every PC gamers would like!) but am very much looking forward to it despite the scaremongering surrounding the system specs required to run the game. I loved the first Alan Wake game which I skipped on Xbox 360 due to the screen tearing and played on PC. I even bought the disappointing remaster.<br /> <br /> I expect this game will score between 8 and 9 out of 10 personally.</div>

Steam does this too with games,but they can point to a plethora of features as excuse, EGS can&#039;t do the same.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">75 to 80 range<br /> <br /> I really like Remedy in theory, always have, but the only game to actually nail a good gimmick vs. gameplay &amp; level design ratio has been Control for me.<br /> <br /> What I&#039;ve seen of the combat looks surprisingly dull and unevolved from the original&#039;s terrible (lack of) encounter design. It looks like you mainly walk forward on narrow paths to experience Remedy gimmicks like crazy visual effects and live action (jesus, why?) cutscenes.<br /> <br /> Problem is, a lot of big outlets&#039; reviewers favor window dressing and spectacle over clever mechanics, level design and so on so it&#039;ll score decently based on that even if that is the case.<br /> <br /> Personally though, I fucking HOPE I eat crow and this turns out to be way more gameplay-wise than what has been shown. I love Horror, I love Twin Peaks and David Lynch... I want this to be 95 but I&#039;m not seeing it right now. Currently looks more like Remedy going bonkers with style over substance.</div>

Really great atmosphere, really intense sections. Saga&#039;s story is the spookiest of the two.

What really set Alan Wake apart was it&#039;s approach to storytelling and it&#039;s unique tone. <br /> <br /> That and Alan Wake 2 is nothing like the first game from a gameplay perspective. They&#039;ve advertised it as being much closer to something like Resident Evil meets Control from a gameplay standpoint.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Not quite sure why, but I&#039;m predicting mid 70&#039;s with this. I&#039;m sure/hope I&#039;ll be proven wrong and it&#039;ll be in the 80&#039;s.</div>

It&#039;s a fine &quot;slight&quot; remaster. Most new textures and some added polygons here and there. It looks like how you remember it aside from some weird faces.<br /> Controls are fine, 60fps good graphics.<br /> <br /> No HDR and the game aged like milk... I barely was able to finish it and I love alan wake. it just plays like flu</div>
