VGChartz’s Mark Nielsen: “All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure – the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions – but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books.”
