Aside from a fresh coat of paint there isn't anything else that Remedy changed or updated about Alan Wake and I have mixed feelings about that. The movement and mechanics are stilted and clunky and it very much feels like a product of 2010 but then that kind of added to its charm so I don't think I'd have liked it if they changed anything, either.
Who said gamers are hard to please?

It has immaculate vibes and it absolutely nails that pulpy, camp feel Remedy were going for - if only the combat was up to the same standard. It's clunky and repetitive and at times it felt like I was going through the motions of combat in order to get to the next chunk of story. I found the story and the atmosphere more than worth the hassle, though
