There was a lot of expectation around Alan Wake II, the sequel to the brilliant survival horror from Remedy Entertainment, which has been waiting no less than 13 years. Today is the launch day of the game, which comes to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series, and since yesterday the specialized press began publishing their analyzes of the game. Fortunately it seems that criticism has surrendered to the game and the scores are really high and, although it is a year with a lot of competition, there are already many people pointing out that the title could be a clear candidate for Game of the Year.

At the time of writing this article, the game had an average of 88 on Metacritic, the website that compiles the ratings of the most internationally recognized media. This average was based on 37 reviews, although there are still many more to come. For example, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 already has an average of 90 with 137 reviews in the database. These are some of the most notable reviews:

100GamesRadar: “Alan Wake 2 is a strange, imaginative and truly ambitious sequel that never fails to exceed your expectations. Although some of the great concepts presented by Remedy Entertainment lack refinement, some rough edges do not detract from an always safe and surprisingly original adventure” .

100VGC: “Alan Wake 2 is Remedy at its best, often innovative and full of surprises. The shooter mechanics are not stellar, but Alan Wake 2 is otherwise a horror thriller that you should not miss.”

100Gamespot: “The idea of ​​what Alan Wake 2 could be has changed a lot over the years, but while playing it, I was reminded of Sam Lake saying how happy he was that all the previous versions of this game never worked, and so “I was so excited that this was the Alan Wake 2 that the world has finally received.”

100VG247: “Modern horror experiences don’t get much better than this, and I’m glad we get more in at least two DLCs.”

100Dexerto: “Returning to everything that made the original shine, adding not only innovations in gameplay but also new and captivating characters, is a bold step forward for the series, for Remedy and for the industry as a whole.”

100GameReactor UK: “Remedy deserves all the praise it can muster for being brave enough to make some interesting design decisions that limit Alan Wake 2’s mass appeal, but increase the enjoyment for those of us who stay.”

100TheGamer: “Remedy has always been known for pushing boundaries or experimenting with different ideas using its own crucible of creative innovation, but it has never been more evident than with Alan Wake 2.”

90IGN: “Alan Wake II is a magnificent sequel that makes the original cult survival horror classic look like little more than a draft by comparison.

It certainly seems like the wait has been worth it. Now is the time to enjoy this shocking survival horror.
