It was amazing, i was worried knowing (most of) the story would ruin the Final Draft for me, but it was just as amazing. I also did it on Nightmare mode too since i want to be able i claimed i did it, which was a fun challenge. One thing i appreciate about Remedy's Games is that their Nightmare modes isn't just a "Let's ramp the…

I wanted to stick with the horror theme i have going but wanted to pad something in between Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare, so i picked this up. I really enjoyed it, if i'm hopefully still in a horror mood after Alan Wake II i'll probably continue this (Especially if i can't get my hands on the Silent Hill 2 Remake by then). This Sewage tunnel…

I finished the third loop on nightmare mode today. After this i think i'll take a break briefly before moving onto Alan Wake II. I think i might try and play through Uncharted: The Lost Legacy or Fallout 4. Or maybe i'll try finish Control, start Quantum Break, or start the first Max Payne so i stay in the Remedy-verse I had forgotten how…

I completed the second loop today, and also finally moved out of my comfort zone by using the assault rifle. The animation for it looks hilarious with Alan. I also found out how much of a pain The Birdman and the Splitter are because they take 8 shots to go down with the Hunting Rifle. Out of all the enemies on Nightmare mode they gave me the…

unlabelledView post →Okay... here we go So from what I understand this is a game that takes place in the game Alan Wake, Written by Sam Lake, and in this game you play as Alan Wake who plays Alan Wake in a movie directed by Alan Wake based of a book that Alan Wake wrote, the same book that Alan Wake, the game, is mimicking in which you search for your wife who fell in a lake all while writing a book for an evil fan obsessed with Alan Wake, but its different to this game in which you also are searching for your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a downgrade in almost every way imaginable. The story is short, boring and repetitive. I didn't find the arcade mode very fun either. On the other hand, the graphics and combat have improved. There are a few new enemies and weapons too. It pains me to say it, no matter how good the main game is I can't bring myself to give this one a positive review.

unlabelledView post →This was the first time I properly played this unlike the original game which I played various times throughout the years. Honestly not a bad continuation of the story. At first I wasn't too keen on the more action pieces but over the course of playing this, It made sense in the timeline that Alan would come prepare and know how to deal with the darkness. Short game but for any fans of the series I would still personally recommend this. Maybe wait till it goes on sale but. Also I'm glad Alan…

unlabelledView post →2nd playthrough of Alan Wake's American Nightmare finished. While there are ideas and certain things I really like about this, it gets pretty repetitive by the end. All of its side characters are super one-dimensional. And it ends a bit weird. I did love all the stuff with Mr. Scratch.
unlabelledView post →No I 100% ed this game, because I have a problem. Famous author Alan Wake is back. He's a writer and he's dropped off in a darkness infused town in Arizona. Once more, needing to don his flashlight, and prove that, though the pen is mightier than the sword, it's not mightier than a nail gun. This canon event of the Remedy Universe, is a mercifully short Microsoft arcade vehicle that really doesn't have much going for it. It boasts better combat and lung capacity but misses out on charm,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but the most dedicated Remedy completionists, and even then... The story mode is just pointless wheel-spinning that doesn't advance the plot or do anything to bridge the gap between Alan Wake 1 & 2, and the way it cycles between 4 small maps is really lazy (the narrative's attempt to explain away this lack of effort is also completely unoriginal and tedious). All the game has left is a terrible arcade mode that only has two difficulty modes, with…

Be warned, this isn't a continuation of the main game. It has Alan trying to reconnect with his wife but that's about it. My playtime was start to finish through the campaign on normal mode. Cons: +Too easy. +Time loop with the same 3 locations with the same objectives and escalating enemies each time. +I didn't engage…

Inspired by Remedy's 30th Anniversary I decided it's time to play the **Alan Wake 2** DLCs, so now I'm doing some prep work. I replayed the Alan Wake 1 DLCs, replayed **Alan Wake's American Nightmare**, and I'm about to start a replay of the Control AWE DLC. Then into the Final Draft of AW2 again and finally the DLCs. I actually quite like American Nightmare. It's a low budget Xbox Live Marketplace game so you…

unlabelledView post →Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is a pretty fun game, especially if you liked the original Alan Wake. I enjoyed the mix of shooting, exploring, and the creepy atmosphere. Playing as Alan and using the flashlight to weaken enemies before taking them down never gets old. The story is interesting, and the different locations give the game a nice change of pace. It’s more action-focused than the first game, which I actually liked. It’s also not very long, but that makes it easy to finish without…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is great, i love the story even tho i understood almost nothing i love that timeloop thingthis was really fun im glad that they skipped a few parts in the later acts so it doesnt get repetitive
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →people in the reviews here are calling this game "lazy and repetitive" so i had to write my own review disputing that. i think this game is really fun! short and sweet, great story (with great characters), fairly satisfying (if simple and easy) combat, expands the alan wake universe in an exciting and interesting way. sure, it's repetitive in certain ways, but i'm impressed by how engaging it is even within the limited setting. if there's a game you should be calling repetitive, it's alan wake…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Remedy, and I love Alan Wake. That being said, I played this for the plot, while I really should've just watched the videos on Youtube. I think American Nightmare is only worth playing if you're a fan of combat and are interested in the Arcade Mode (and even then, buy it on sale). The new weapons are fun, admittedly.

unlabelledView post →TLDR; Alan Wake: American Nightmare is Alan Wake 1.5. It improves the gameplay heavily, reduces collectibles and has fun achievements. It picks up from the last game story wise, but doesn't add too much honestly. It's very short - less than 4 or 5 hours. It shines for the exact opposite reasons that Alan Wake did. OVERALL: 74.65/100 - Play it! 1. GAMEPLAY : 6.8/10 Gameplay Loop - 2/2.5 Massively improved gameplay from 2010's Alan Wake. Same concept, but improved dodge, gunplay and difficulty…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful semi sequel to an amazing game! Alan Wake's American Nightmare is a fairly short continuation and partial conclusion to the first game, but can easily be enjoyed on it's own, and is left open ended enough that you will likely want to still experience the context from the previous and subsequent games. The story takes place in a weird dream like place, an overlap between our world and the darkness dimension, allowing Alan to both still suffer from the effects of the 1st game's…
