Alan Wake II Review



Alan Wake II reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

“Alan Wake II delivers one of the boldest and most brain-bending survival-horror storylines this side of Silent Hill 2, presents it with uniformly immaculate art direction and audio design, and reinvigorates the series’ signature light-based shooting as though it’s been locked and loaded with a fresh pack of Energizers. Even though its skill-upgrade systems seem a little superfluous and there were a few repeated cliches in Saga’s story that stuck in my craw, I nonetheless found both sides of this twisted tale to be endlessly fascinating, frequently fear-inducing, and consistently surprising. Alan Wake II is a superb survival-horror sequel that makes the cult-classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison.”

  1. There is something wrong with the writing, it’s infantile. The dialogue is horrible and The characters don’t act believably. Especially FBI and police. It’s almost as if the game is made for critics, not for the gamers, or maybe they just had diversity consultants “fix” the game

  2. This game is decent. I’m 4-5 chapters in and it’s so far like a 8/10. Def not a GOTY or anything. That will go to either BG3 or Zelda. The shadow guys in Alan’s part are def the creepiest
