This is an old game (damn, I'm calling a 2012 game old), with very clunky controls, and mediocre gameplay, but very cool story. Depending on what you need, maybe a buy on a deep discount, AND PLAY IT ON EASY. Cons: The gun play, and camera are baaad. Dated craphics. Pros: Engaging story, decent actors and voiceover.
gameplay diferente de qualquer outro jogo com uma história incrível

It's awful. It makes me want to throw up. The most cliched single-player game i ever tried to play. Well, yeah, great introduction to the story (first episode + half of second), a good idea... The rest is boring, like: "yeah, we just gave u 2 big monsters.. well, maybe then you will get 1 big monster... and 2 fast guys, but behind you, and we dont want you to know about this, just get a bunch of knifes in your back.. and then another combination.. oh, yeah, there's a car, you can drive a car!! (for like a minute) yeah, sounds fun". It's like a mobile game from the youtube ads or smth (runnin' & shootin', cause there's no point in racking your brain, just run, flash, shoot, then reload). Besides, i agree with other reviews, Alan is just a babycry. How tf metacritic gave this 83 while sleeping dogs, uncharted, MGS scored only 80 pts?? (they were all released in 2012 btw)
A Masterpiece of Psychological Horror and Storytelling! Alan Wake is an incredible psychological thriller that feels like playing through a high-budget TV show. You play as a bestselling author searching for his missing wife in a mysterious town called Bright Falls, only to find the horror story he wrote coming to life around him. The game’s standout feature is its unique "fight with light" mechanic. You have to use your flashlight to burn away the darkness protecting the enemies before you can actually shoot them. This creates intense, atmospheric combat that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Combined with a gripping narrative, eerie visuals, and an amazing soundtrack, the tension never lets up. If you love deep stories, cinematic action, and spooky atmospheres, this game is a masterpiece. Highly recommended! 9.5/10

Buen Juego
Em termos bem simples: a jogabilidade é muito repetitiva e cansa rápido. Certos momentos de combate eram irritantes. Apesar disso, a história, a atmosfera, os personagens, o lugar... tudo isso é incrível. It's not a lake. It's an ocean.
