Honestly, I Just Didn't Enjoy It At All

If you loved Alan Wake 1 (like me), you might find brief pockets of fun here. However, there's just too much that I disliked about this game. It's not all bad though, here's what I liked: - You keep your items: In Alan Wake 1, it bothered the crap out of me that you lost your items and weapons so frequently. This doesn't happen in American Nightmare. - New Enemies: There's a few new enemies. However, the spider enemies were just annoying and melting them with the flashlight was pretty boring. - Some Progression: As you find collectables, you can unlock new weapons. Some were cool and some were kinda useless. But a bigger selection is always good to have. - Great Port: Graphics are about the same as Alan Wake 1 and didn't stutter or crash at all. Some of the environmental effects from Alan Wake 1 were absent here. But I didn't enjoy most of this game. Some examples: - BAD story, BAD characters, BAD writing: So you're stuck in a timeloop and trying to escape it. You work with a mechanic lady, a scientist lady, and a film journalist i think? They were all very bland and Alan is always reassuring them all that "everything's gonna be okay". The dialogue frankly sucked and they all had almost no personality. - Flashlight recharges almost instantly: In the first game, juggling batteries to charge your flashlight was fun. That's still in this game, but the flashlight automatically recharges so quick, the mechanic is essentially dead. - VERY repetitive: You're basically repeating the same objectives until the game ends. It's very uninteresting and doing the same task over and over again frankly bored the crap out of me. - NO new combat mechanics: Besides the new weapons and no longer needing to monitor your flashlight's charge, nothing new is introduced and the only horror element of managing your flashlight was stripped from the game. All in all, I don't recommend this. It doesn't add any new fun stories or gameplay to make it worth your while.

Not bad

I quite enjoyed the first Alan wake. Haven’t played the second one yet, would like to. Too bad that this is basically the less interesting follow-up to the deeply compelling original but this does have a lot going for it. As absurd as the following is going to sound to anyone who hasn't already played this, I'm going to try to describe the core concept. Alan has an evil twin who is a serial killer and who keeps appearing in disturbing videos that feel like they make up the dictionary definition of this sort of thing. There's definitely some Hannibal lecter going on. Alan of course has to stop him and in doing so it is going to be necessary to go through a time loop multiple times. Got all that I've seen some criticism that this does indeed mean that we play through the same basic areas multiple times. I said the following for The Room as well, the fourth Silent Hill game what people are saying here is technically accurate but I believe they are missing why this decision was made. It literally does play differently. You find yourself worrying that you can't stop what is happening because you keep trying, you keep doing more or less the same thing and you're unable to progress even though the game is technically communicating to you that what you've done was what it required of you in order to proceed. I do think that this needed to do more to really justify itself as a separate release rather than free DLC. It's too short if you only play the campaign and while the arcade mode is quite enjoyable it's not quite enough. The gunplay remains very similar to the original and doesn't really make sense with the various changes and style. I do like some of the new guns. Honestly I got much more out of playing the two actual DLC for the first game even though those are also not really important to play. What they did with some of the characters was quite engaging, especially Barry and I actually think that's where the possessed humans taunting Alan made the most sense.

Pretty good but short

Short, different from the original, more action-oriented. Overall, a good game.

Short, but fun

The story mode is very short, but it works as a folloup to the original Alan Wake. It expands a little on the world and some character's fate after the fist game. Main "story vehicle" may feel a little overplayed now, but I think it works very well in here. Oh, and it's definitely worth looking for all the pages and to watch all TVs. The gameplay is a little simplistic and easier than in the first game, at least on normal, but I played for the story so I didn't mind. The game should be darker. As it is now, if feels too bright in compare to first Alan Wake so you don't have the same "dread" when in fights compared to the first Alan Wake.
