Rating ★★☆☆☆

The idea here seems pretty solid. It reminds me a little of the TellTale games, except there's more action.. but only just.

What little gameplay there is has you running from one end of a map to the other. It's very scripted, with map markers constantly telling you where you're going and why you're going there.
Most of the story takes place at night, using light as a weapon in the form of flashlights and flares, with street lighting acting as a safe harbour, allowing you to rest and recover health.
The enemies are easy enough to deal with, assuming you have ammo for your guns, which is often the biggest challenge with each engagement. The other challenge is fighting the awkward controls and terrible camera angles.
Use light to weaken the enemy, then shoot them with your gun. Rinse and repeat.

I found this gameplay loop pretty boring, but i kept going because i thought the story would pick up the slack. It did not.
I have never been much of a horror fan, so maybe others might enjoy the story.

Back to Bright Falls with Alan Wake Remastered — and the nightmare still shines.

I played the original on Xbox 360, so firing it up on PC was pure nostalgia. The core loop is intact (and still fun): burn away shadows with your flashlight, then finish the Taken with revolvers, shotguns, rifles, or the ever‑satisfying flare gun. Flares push back crowds; flash‑bangs erase them outright — perfect when you’re swarmed in a dark forest at 2 a.m. It still feels like Max Payne meets a Stephen King episode.

Atmosphere is where this game wins. Six TV‑style episodes deliver classic small‑town‑horror vibes: misty pines, humming streetlights, and that lonely Cauldron Lake. The story of a blocked writer searching for his kidnapped wife is strong, but you only get the full picture by collecting manuscript pages, tuning in to radios, and watching in‑game TV. Completionists will love that; casual players might miss key beats.

Visuals are sharper and lighting is gorgeous, yet the decade‑old animations peek through, and combat can feel repetitive once you’ve mastered the flashlight‑then‑shoot rhythm. Still, at a sale price of a couple of dollars this is an absolute steal: a moody action‑thriller that holds up surprisingly well.

Verdict: A cozy horror classic worth revisiting — especially if you’ve never walked the shadowy trails of Bright Falls.
