Wow we really had to wait 13 whole years with just this ending
I actually liked it better despite there being no challenge whatsoever
Building the path was fun, and the story was better

Alot better than the signal, setpieces are cooler and the gameplay aint that bad this time around.
great ending to a really bad game. only point where it feels like the writing actually comes together to form something meaningful that isn't just half baked references to twin peaks and in the mouth of madness.
Alan wake writing nas trevas
I wasn't even going to write anything about this, but it genuinely surprised me for good. I consider that in these two bonus chapters there's something more interesting and worth it than what there is in the base game (and its standalone expansion American Nightmare). These two chapters, but specially this second one, tap on some of Alan Wake's untapped potential, or at least they express it better than the main game. And it is talking about the dark, dark hole Alan is (psychologically and mentally) in.
This time the menace isn't a creepy old lady with supernatural powers but Alan himself and his fractured psyche. This is about the internal conflict Alan is going through to make him face his insecurities and fears to then conclude saying that the problems won't simply go away or that someone will save you (despite being helped by Zane, everyone else is a ghostly imitation, usually hostile), but it is the job of oneself to get its life back on track.
Unfortunately, these two bonus chapters are that, bonus chapters, so they suffer from the same problems of repetition and monotony of which the main game also suffered, insisting with constant enemies and shootouts as well as having the same boring gameplay loop, but what these chapters tell is something that compensate enough the tedium and make it worth it to go through, even if it doesn't take more than 3 hours to beat both them.

I think I enjoyed this DLC more than the base game. The metaphor of an artist’s struggle with creating was less subtle than the base game, which was already a little heavy handed tbh, but it also explored that idea more and I appreciate that.
Still as confusing as the ending of the original game. I'm really hoping that AW2 does a much better job from a storytelling and pacing perspective.
Estado Mental do Alan Wake 2. QUERO JOGAR ALAN WAKE 2
bem melhor que a 1° DLC
The story was interesting as always. And the gameplay, enemies and the envirement to use against the enemy were good. The final boss was not that good but at least now there is one. Right?
Realmente, podiam ter resumido isso aqui dentro do jogo base mesmo, mas é meio chocho...
The part where you make the electric lines to turn on the log thing? Chef's kiss
Bem melhor que a primeira DLC, com fases que não são apenas copia e cola do jogo base, também faz coisas bem interessantes com a mecânica de iluminar palavras, uma pena que a Boss fight final foi uma decepção.
Isso me irrita muito, isso era pra ter sido o final do jogo em si e mesmo assim acho estupido terminar em cliffhanger, pelo menos o 2 ta aí, mas se esse fosse o ponto final da história seria uma decepção inacreditável.
This review contains spoilers
This DLC rises above the main game because it dares to put Alan Wake in a place other than 'The Woods', has a few legitimately great setpieces, focuses on a split personality (a Remedy specialty), and, most of all, allows you to finallly kill Barry.
I guess I must have played a version from the Dark Place, because every review I see swears how much this unimaginative level is much better than the previous one.
nadou nadou e morreu na praia
This has some fun set pieces while also giving us more insight into Alan's mind. Combat sections still drag this down.
Much better than The Signal because it didn’t focus on combat. Story was also much better and I especially liked the level design. The maze and the lighthouse approach, in particular, might be even better than anything in the base game imo.
Wife’s Reaction:
“What? Huh? What?”
Shine a Bright Write Light:
The second showing for Alan Wake’s downloadable content ended up being much stronger than the first. There are novel set pieces and fun encounters that continued to build on what the first DLC had brought forth. That said, I’m not quite sure if either of these DLC packs were worth it from a story angle. Maybe I’d feel differently if a sequel wasn’t almost here.

these DLC chapters are so fucking strange lmao.
it eases up on the combat which i appreciated. however, in place of it they decided to try some almost puzzle platforming which again does not feel well thought out with the game's moveset/controls.
i'll take it over The Signal but i'm probs not coming back to either one again.

Feels kinda weird giving the main game as well as both DLCs the same score, but I really think the quality is super strong all the way throughout. This DLC probably has the strongest characterization for Alan yet while also teasing the players with questions yet to be answered. Gameplay continues The Signal's trend of utilizing familiar mechanics in some new ways and while it can be a bit frustrating with how quickly Alan goes down, I do think that overall adds to the tense atmosphere that makes up a huge part of my enjoyment of the game.
Do I really have to play American Nightmare now?
Um pouco melhor que a The Signal, sabe brincar melhor com as novas mecânicas e o momento da "roda" é realmente divertido! A dificuldade ainda é frustante, mas gosto de como fecha a história e prepara para o Alan Wake II
Für mich der beste Teil des ganzes Spiels. Hier nimmt die Narrative (also der "Epilog") endlich Fahrt auf. Es gibt auch mehr Wörter aus der Schreibmaschine, mit denen man den linearen Weg "schreibt"- eine schöne Ergänzung zum ersten DLC.
Auch Gameplaytechnisch gibt es hier deutlich mehr Abwechslung durch jump and run Passagen. Das Problem ist nur, dass die Steuerung nicht wirklich darauf ausgelegt ist und man sich deshalb ziemlich unbeholfen fühlt. Einige Male bin ich heruntergefallen, weil man die Abstände des Sprungs nur schlecht einschätzen konnte. Nachdem ich einige Abschnitte für die Trophäen erneut gespielt hatte, klappte es dann auch ganz gut.
Auch hier sind die Trophäen wieder straight forward: Durchspielen, Collectibles einsammeln, Secrets entdecken und einen playthrough ohne Neuladen eines Checkpoints (also auch Tode) schaffen. Glücklicherweise hab ich nach dem normalen Durchlauf den no death run direkt beim ersten Versuch geschafft.
Ehrlich gesagt bietet das DLC genau das, was ich mir vom Hauptspiel versprochen habe. Die Länge ist ca. 45min.
Ich freue mich jetzt erstmal auf Teil 2- American Nightmare, welcher eine Brücke zwischen den beiden Teilen schaffen soll. Schaue ich mir wahrscheinlich als playthrough auf youtube an.

Após muitas sequências desnecessárias, direciona a história principal.
Com certeza ambas as DLCs poderiam ter sido colocadas no jogo principal.
