Journalists were delighted with the horror Alan Wake 2
Finally, the first reviews appeared on Alan Wake 2 and now you can find out what Remedy Entertainment is thinking about the new game, and the result seems to be more than positive. Let’s look at the voices that are currently available:
The game received high estimates in the press, the average rating on Metacritic was 89 points out of 100 based on 24 reviews. On Opencritic, the average rating also amounted to 91 points based on 24 reviews. But, of course, the average indicator can change by one or two points within a few hours and days as new reviews arrive.
Everything, up to puzzles, seems appropriate. And this is not to mention the magnificent cast involved in the project, and a truly exciting story that takes place for both Alan and the saga, each of which receives an interesting presence in Bright Falls and in the world outside. The combat unit is not the most pleasant, and it is quite easy to pass, but this is exactly what I wanted and even more from Alan Wake sequel. In addition, this is the best original game in the 2023 horror genre with a wide margin, and in general, damn good video game.
Remedy’s company complex narrative was even more developed, combining with action in the Survival Horror style, which provides a deeper immersion in the game than ever before. In particular, an expanded story developed over the past 13 years gives the game a unique attractiveness. However, problems with subtitles and mistakes seem to be quickly resolved after the game launch, and I have great hopes for improvements in this regard.
Alan Wake 2 seems almost crazy in its approach, it has a huge number of threads that at any moment can collapse under pressure. However, thanks to a clear and ulcerative logic, combined with a commitment to delightful absurdity, the Remedy team managed to create an exciting story that unfolds a smart, fascinating and terrifying way.
