The editors didn't like

  • Character control can fight against you. Some graphical issues.
  • The game is rather short—expect around eight hours to beat it
  • Some of the sections where you're simply walking or driving from one place to the next are tiresome and drag on way too long
  • The product placement is seriously distracting and out of place
  • Character models look dated
  • Game resets player progression at nearly every turn
  • Leans heavily on combat
  • Characters take on typical 'horror movie character' qualities.
  • Some long gameplay slogs throw off the otherwise tight pacing
  • Stilted voice acting and character animations.
  • Lacks surprising
  • Memorable gameplay moments.
  • The game can pull you out of the experience by sometimes feeling a bit too gamey and with its overuse of ingame advertising.
  • Too linear
  • Wanting to rush through for story
  • Not enough breaking up of the gameplay

  • Abstract:  "Stephen King once wrote that nightmares exist outside of logic...". Redan efter spelets inledande mening blir det uppenbart vad Remedy vill att Alan Wake ska vara. Eller ville att det skulle vara i alla fall. Efter fem år kantade av utvecklingsproblem...

  • Abstract:  Ficklampor, skuggmonster och vanvett - vi har testat Max Payne-skaparnas thrillerspel Alan Wake som efter många års utveckling äntligen är färdigt. Har skjutar-skräckisen varit värd all väntan?

  • Abstract:  Tällä kertaa peliarvosteluumme löysi tiensä monien odottama Suomalainen taidonnäyte eli Remedyn Alan Wake. Alan Wake -peli on kolmannen persoonan näkökulmasta kuvattu toimintaseikkailu vahvoilla kauhu -ja survival-mausteilla. Peliä jouduttiin odottamaa...

  Published: 2010-05-05, review by: muropaketti.com

  • Abstract:  Alan Wake on peli, joka on aiheuttanut jo paljon pulinaa ja puhinaa erinäisillä tahoilla. Huippuhienojen esittelyvideoiden jälkeen peli hävisi valokeilasta vuosikausiksi ja moni epäili sen jo peruuntuneen vähin äänin. Näin ei kuitenkaan käynyt, vaan Al...

  • Abstract:  Vi har ventet lenge på Alan Wake, og resultatet er imponerende. Remedy viser nok en gang hvor flinke de er til å fortelle historier og skape stemning, og kombinere dette med bunnsolid spillmekanikk. Alan Wake inneholder noen av de heftigste sekvensene...

  • Kapitel-opdelingen og den umiddelbare tanke bag denne. Måden at ”mørket” er kravlet ind i spillet, chok-effekterne og selve spiloplevelsen i Alan Wake.
  • Over at skulle samle termokander, og når vi spiller Alan Wake for længe ad gangen og er triste over en umiddelbar lav replay-værdien.

  • Abstract:  Alan Wake søger stilheden ved Bright Falls, men støder på diverse bump i sin søgen efter sin forsvundne kone. Mørket har lagt sig, og lygten må skære gennem tågen.Remedy har lagt Max Payne på hylden for i stedet at kaste sig over en psykologisk action ...
