Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best RU #60, worst BR #84 · 2 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 12.57/day in the week to Aug 25 → 27.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

i am a big fan of the horror genre of games. and im not picky. any type satisfies me. so the thriller alan wake seemed like the kind of game that would make a strong impression on me; it certainly did, but in a negative way. in terms of gameplay, the game attempts to be innovative but offers no complex challenges. it is repetitive, boring, and even frustrating at times. you don't feel the difference in levels between "weak enemies" and "strong enemies," because they are all basically the same and weak to the same things. as for the horror, i don't even know if i can call this game scary. there's no real psychological tension, no clever enemy design, and no meaningful escalation. there comes a point where the same level designs and the same boring fights, which only change how many bullets you need to shoot, stop being enjoyable; think about the same battles, the same environments, over and over again, with nothing that actually makes things better. nothing evolves, nothing surprises you, and the game seems completely terrified of introducing anything that could shake up its painfully repetitive formula. you get tired of playing, and i can confidently say this game isn't short, especially if you want to finish it with all the damn platinum achievements, you'll spend an absurd amount of time suffering through content that stopped being interesting several hours ago. the developers of alan wake seem to be scared of making you quit by putting difficult things in the game, so they make everything intentionally boring to keep your scared little ass or your weak tolerance for intense gameplay, from suffering too much. the game's camera is awful and it will 100% get in your way during important moments, and there are narrow areas where alan feels like a rock sliding on butter because of how terrible he is to control. the attempt to create a horrifying atmosphere doesn't really work because it relies too much on new players' primitive fear of darkness and creepy sounds, basically relying only on atmosphere. considering the previously mentioned issue of everything being so repetitive, not much changes. you don't really feel tension while playing, only a constant sense of dissatisfaction. you'd think that with all of alan wake's mechanical and design problems, the game would at least make a glorious comeback with its innovative story. wrong. the story gives you a bit of hope because, honestly, alan wake's premise is really good. but where remedy fails terribly is in the execution: it's vague, it's intentionally made to make no sense so they can keep building more games and sequels on top of it. does alan love his wife? because all he does is fight and argue with her, and then suddenly remembers he loves her again when some supernatural darkness takes her away. their relationship is disturbingly badly written. the explanation for the rest of the story is also boring, overly wordy, and painfully tedious to even try to interpret. it took me ages to write this review after finishing the game because even the idea of writing a review for this game bored me. if you're looking for something to help you fall asleep, maybe i've found the perfect game for you.

Alan Wake to świetne połączenie thrillera psychologicznego, horroru i gry akcji, które nawet po latach broni się przede wszystkim fenomenalnym klimatem oraz historią. Wcielamy się w tytułowego pisarza, który wraz z żoną przyjeżdża do miasteczka Bright Falls. Kiedy Alice znika, Alan odnajduje strony tajemniczego rękopisu opisującego wydarzenia, których sam nie pamięta. Największą siłą gry jest narracja. Całość została podzielona na odcinki przypominające serial telewizyjny, pełne zwrotów akcji, tajemnic i świetnie budowanego napięcia. Bardzo charakterystyczny jest system walki ze światłem. Przeciwników chroni ciemność, dlatego najpierw osłabiamy ich latarką, flarami lub granatami błyskowymi, a dopiero później możemy skutecznie użyć broni. Bright Falls i otaczające je lasy mają kapitalną atmosferę. Muzyka, dźwięki, nocne lokacje i ciągłe poczucie zagrożenia sprawiają, że świat gry zapada w pamięć na długo. Największym problemem jest powtarzalność walk. Przeciwników mogłoby być więcej, a kolejne starcia pod koniec gry nie robią już takiego wrażenia jak początkowo. Mimo wieku Alan Wake nadal pozostaje świetnym thrillerem z charakterystycznym stylem Remedy i jedną z najbardziej pamiętnych historii w swoim gatunku. Zdecydowanie polecam.
[h3]Свет во тьме.[/h3] Alan Wake - это не просто шутер с фонариком, а атмосферный психологический триллер, который держит в напряжении практически до самого финала. Больше всего меня зацепила атмосфера. Ночной лес, туман, постоянное ощущение, что за следующим деревом уже кто-то ждёт. Игра отлично создаёт чувство тревоги, а свет здесь становится настоящим спасением, а не просто элементом геймплея. Сюжет подаётся как хороший сериал: каждая глава заканчивается так, что хочется сразу начать следующую. История постепенно раскрывает свои тайны, заставляя строить догадки и сомневаться в происходящем. Отдельно хочется отметить саундтрек - музыка очень удачно подчёркивает настроение игры, а некоторые композиции запоминаются надолго. Боевая система простая, но интересная благодаря механике со светом: сначала нужно ослабить тьму фонариком, а уже потом добивать противников. Из-за этого даже обычные сражения ощущаются по-своему необычно. Конечно, игра не идеальна: местами бои могут показаться однообразными, а некоторые эпизоды слегка затянуты. Но это не мешает получить удовольствие от прохождения. Alan Wake - отличная история, которую хочется пройти до конца, чтобы узнать правду. Если любите мистику, напряжённую атмосферу и сюжетные игры, определённо стоит обратить на неё внимание.
All you have to do to stay alive stay in Light and keep dodging.
Alan Wake, 2010 yılında çıkmış olmasına rağmen günümüzde bile rahatlıkla oynanabilecek, kendine has bir atmosfere sahip bir oyun. Günümüzde çıkan birçok oyundan farklı hissettirmeyi başarıyor ve bence bu en büyük artılarından biri. Atmosfer tarafı gerçekten başarılı. Bright Falls kasabasını çok beğendim. Gece olduğunda karanlığın içinde gölgelerle mücadele etmek hem gerici hem de sürekli tetikte olmanızı sağlıyor. Gündüz olduğunda ise içimi gerçekten bir rahatlama kaplıyordu. O güven hissini oyuncuya hissettirebilmesi gayet iyi. 🌲🔦 Hikâye benim çok hoşuma gitti. Mükemmel diyemem ama kesinlikle ortalamanın çok üzerinde bir hikâyeye sahip. Başlarda kafanız biraz karışabiliyor ancak oyun ilerledikçe taşlar yavaş yavaş yerine oturuyor ve merak duygusunu sonuna kadar koruyor. Alan Wake karakteri de oldukça başarılı işlenmiş. 📖 Fener ve silah mekaniği oyunun farklı taraflarından biri olmuş. Önce karanlığı ışıkla zayıflatıp ardından düşmanları silahla etkisiz hale getirmek klasik aksiyon oyunlarından farklı bir deneyim sunuyor ve oynanışı keyifli tutuyor. 🔦💥 Oyunun bana göre tek büyük eksi yanı ise bazı bölümlerde savaş sekanslarının gereğinden fazla uzaması oldu. Özellikle son chapter'da sürekli düşman dalgalarıyla karşılaşınca bir noktadan sonra "Tamam, anladık... biraz da hikâyeye dönelim." dedirtiyor. Elbette çatışmalar olacak ama dozajı biraz daha iyi ayarlanabilirmiş. Özetle; Alan Wake, atmosferi, hikâyesi ve kendine özgü oynanış mekanikleriyle yıllara meydan okuyan bir yapım. Aradan geçen yıllara rağmen hâlâ kendini keyifle oynatabiliyor ve korku-gerilim türünü seven herkesin deneyimlemesi gereken oyunlardan biri. ⭐ Puanım: 8.5 / 10
Это не озеро. Это океан. ・.
Alan Wake é um daqueles jogos que eu sempre quis jogar por causa da fama e da história. E realmente, a narrativa faz jus ao reconhecimento que o jogo tem. O clima é excelente. Bright Falls passa uma sensação constante de mistério, a história vai ficando cada vez mais maluca e as páginas do manuscrito são uma sacada muito legal pra ir montando o quebra-cabeça aos poucos. Dá pra ver claramente a inspiração em Stephen King e Twin Peaks. Agora... a gameplay me cansou bastante. A ideia de usar a lanterna pra remover a escuridão dos inimigos antes de atirar é muito criativa... nas primeiras horas. Depois disso, o jogo basicamente entra num ciclo de lanterna, tiro, lanterna, tiro, lanterna, tiro durante praticamente a campanha inteira. Chegou um momento em que eu só queria terminar a história, porque o combate já tinha ficado repetitivo demais. Felizmente a narrativa segura muito bem a experiência. É justamente a curiosidade de descobrir o que está acontecendo com o Alan que faz continuar jogando até o final.
Como não amar a Remedy? Lembro que, quando joguei pela primeira vez no meu Xbox 360, eu já era apaixonado na vibe dark e louca do jogo, mesmo sem entender muito pela falta de localização PT-BR. Dando play mais uma vez, agora depois de quase 13 anos, depois de jogar Alan Wake 2 e acompanhando a história atentamente, meu amor pela franquia só cresce. Vários aspectos da gameplay envelheceram bastante, mas ainda assim se mantém um jogo bastante único e divertido. Que venha Alan Wake 3!
Творческий кризис писателя из Нью-Йорка это конечно страшно, но страшнее было собирать 100 термосов с кофе.
I would classify this as a stereotypical 6/10 Xbox 360 gen game. The gameplay is repetitive, boring and tedious, the last episode (the game is separated in episodes) was clearly rushed and was more filler/obstructions than anything else. Game would have been much better if that entire part was simply a cutscene. The only good thing about this game is the vibes and the story, but even that barely got me through it's runtime. I was falling asleep by the last episode. And as a certified Scaredy PantsTM, this game really shouldn't have the tag "Horror". Even the jumpscares didn't do anything for me. I understand that the concept this brings might have been new and exciting in 2012, but anno 2026 it's nothing special. Only play if you want to experience it for historical reasons/want to know the backstory for Alan Wake 2.
