Alan Wake Review - Awesome/10

It's been a long time coming, but nearly two years after it's initial release Alan Wake has finally made its way to the PC. Originally touted as being an open world interactive horror novel, Alan Wake was met with great anticipation by Xbox 360 gamers. The beautifully rendered environment looks even better on the PC, but Liam Dean debates whether this is enough to push an essentially linear experience into "classic" game territory.

JUST bought this on the PC (Steam sale, of course) a few days ago and I can't believe how good it is. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of were the product placements: I mean really Duracell?

It's pretty fitting for a game based around flashlights though.

Having a branded battery doesn't bother me, had it have been on every loading screen THAT would have bothered me.

I don't get why people say that's a bad thing. I personally like it for me at least it adds realism to the game like wow a real product in a weird way it makes the game more real for me.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie3d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
