Alan Wake is an amazing experience. Do it right.

That's exactly what I was thinking, thanks for confirming it for me!

keep the collectibles for later. some of them (manuscripts) only appeared on nightmare difficulty that you unlock after finishing the game so don't waste time on that

one of my favorite games....

Same. I still have a strong urge to replay this game from time to time. One of the few games that I genuinely enjoyed getting 100% in. None of the achievements really felt like a chore. Well, other than the coffee thermoses perhaps.

Indeed. Thats really pain in the ass

FeatherbottomMR · 09-11-2012, 02:38 AM

Yeah there were a lot of collectables...

InfernalTuv · 09-12-2012, 07:31 AM

hell yes and it is a bargain now

Floydian x Slip · 10-24-2012, 09:32 AM

I found it for $10 used and am very glad I made the purchase. It's an excellently written slow burn, so if you enjoy a good story with a few tense moments, it's a no-brainer.

Ninja Eagle · 10-29-2012, 10:52 AM

Exactly, you can get it for less then $20 and it is one of the best games i've played.

Jaxl187 · 11-22-2012, 08:04 PM

Best game of that year imo, c'mon Remedy, give me Alan Wake 2

ryan9483 · 12-03-2012, 10:23 AM

An oldie but goodie. Probably around 20 bucks now and worth it. Certainly helps if you're a fan of classic sci fi shows like the Twilight Zone or Twin Peaks.

Jamski · 12-03-2012, 10:26 AM

I'm half way through and have stopped as I started to find it very repetitive. Must pick it up again though as it is a great game, looks brilliant, but as I said, it is a bit samey.

redyxia · 12-06-2012, 07:03 PM

Just a very good game ... DLC are very well too and I even think that it will be good to buy the new prelude "All american nightmare" =)

johnbr · 12-28-2012, 02:26 PM

I'm generally not into this style but at the same point, it completely redefines this style as well...i loved this game

raimic · 01-01-2013, 05:57 PM

An excelent game! And don't play it on "mute"

Spade. · 01-04-2013, 12:23 AM

Gamewise: YES! An experience you won't soon forget.

Achievement wise: No real difficulty except for grinding for the collectables.

I got mine for $20, so it was a small risk for me.

three man taxi · 01-21-2013, 06:33 PM

my friend recomended this game for me I picked it up for £4 what a bargain alot of replay value with all the collectables

StannersTheMan · 01-24-2013, 05:52 PM

So excited to get stuck into this game, bought if for like a fiver last week.

Birdseye · 02-03-2013, 07:44 AM

I got mine back in 2011 - for almost full price Still worth it. Amazing experience.

Dudek · 04-18-2013, 06:02 AM

i got this game on sale and didn't expect much but [to me] it is very intense at times and a very well written plot / story.
