A história é excelente assim como no jogo base, mas o combate ( que n é bom ) é excessivo demais e acaba cansando muito.

A história engaja demais mas esse combate, que é o foco principal dessa DLC, é muitooo repetitivo

Wow! This was terrible. "What if we put worst parts of the game in a DLC and use them even more!". Puppets and awful combat are back and more annoying than before if that's possible. I am having hard time recommending it for the tiny bit of more story. It was not long at least.

I'm really glad we got to see the "words" mechanic used in actual gameplay, and there are some great setpieces here framed very cleverly though Wake's subconscious's aggressively bad writing that seeks only to hurt Wake, with no further purpose beyond that. Pretty short but a very good DLC chapter, and hard to complain about given that the only currently available version of the game includes it and its sequel as a pack-in rather than offering them as separate purchases.

I liked the challenge this DLC presented, but that’s about it. It was fine.


Only thing I really remembered about the dlc was being disappointed when it came out that it didn't really follow up the ending to the base game. Not bad, since it's basically "more of the same" but with a few fun, visual flourishes added into the mix, but also, it's more of the same, and doesn't add enough narratively. Half of a cool idea that doesn't go anywhere.

Definitely one of those DLCs where the developers don't really have time to work on it so all the assets are just re-used from the base game.

It's remarkable uninspired. A short decent Alan Wake chapter. Bummer that it doesn't really add anything to the ongoing narrative other than reinforce the base game's ending.

so theres a part of me that still wanted to enjoy alan wake as a whole experience more than i actually did but this is definitely not it

for as much as i enjoyed the original game somehow i was definitely not well versed to the idea of MORE od what i already played lets be real this is a DLC for people who do really loved alan wake and wanted some more to the story of the base game

as an addendum this didnt do much for me the gameplay is untouched apart from adding some nice words mechanics here and there that are thematically entwined with the whole “its all a manuscript” but since the basic gameflow was already pretty weak i sure wasnt a big fan of doing it all over again for the sake of some more insight to the story

and if you somehow wonder if this is gonna add anything to the original story i kid you not you will have some momentary explanations but shits gonna get more convoluted than it really is because wow they sure love going over and over again on the same concepts until they start making no sense anymore

focus of the DLC is following a signal and going through levels that feel cut out segments that didnt make it to the original also am i the only one or this felt way more difficult i dont know guys

anywho after some tedious fights and flashbacks and shit like that you find the signal and nothing of note really happens . the end ?

guess the other DLC will expand on this but wow this is probably one of the weakest additional contents ive ever played in years somehow the best part was barry acting like a cunt which was definitely entertaining

doing all of this just to play AW2 can you believe that

Barry is the kind of character that is usually annoying but I love him.

Good enough if short, specially this time that just comes included with the Remaster, the words mechanic is pretty cool and could have been great on the main game.
Necessary to continue the story if doesnt give you too much.

It's really weird, I guess. Interesting new mechanics and I liked the Alan Wake on the TV bits, but jesus, was this way too hard compared to the base game. I get the developers want to make it more of a challenge after beating the story, but it was just janky hard more than anything. Stuck in tight spaces really was not as fun with the encounters compared to how fun they were in the main story.

nussa senhora que trem chato, acrescenta em basicamente nada, é só mais repetição da fórmula batida do jogo

Doesn't really add anything new to the plot or go anywhere. We spend the episode following a signal and when we get there pretty much nothing happens. Alan is in the dark place, we already knew this, and they didn't make exploring it interesting as it's all locations we have been in before. It's also too combat heavy to the point where the amount of enemies is just frustrating. Skippable.
