The worse of the DLC, it leans into my least favorite aspect of the original game—the combat. It throws interminable waves of obnoxious enemies in areas that are largely retreads.

The Signal… Yeah this wasn't very good. Seeing how Alan fared during his time in the Dark Place is really all I can give this episode. Other than that, it's more of the same from the base game, with somehow even worse gameplay and a less gripping progression. It was ok, but somewhat unnecessary, ultimately leading to more frustration than exposition.
always appreciate dialogue and story in Alan Wake but I couldn't get through how unfair I felt the enemy AI was
Honestly just slogging through this to learn more about the story. Though short, I found this DLC to be quite a bit harder than the mainline story.
This was a fine but mostly pointless feeling DLC, very 2010 vibes.
I don’t hate the combat of Alan Wake like a lot of people seem to beyond thinking that it gets kind of boring, so didn’t mind the fact that this was a bit more challenging than the main game at least. Exploding words mechanic is kinda neat
The Signal only being around an hour and a half long and about an hour and a half of that being recycled areas and assets, and the story only ever progressing in the opening minutes and at the very end is pretty bleh
Didn’t have a bad time with this but not something anyone needs to go out of their way for
