I've played the original twice, and aside from some better animated and higher detail models this feels much the same (which is not a bad thing). I do think this remaster is more worth it to those who played on the 360 back in the day whereas hopping from the original PC version to this isn't that much of a facelift. That being said, Alan Wake is still a narratively great game with solid combat mechanics all wrapped up in some of the best atmosphere in video gaming. Bringing all of this without alteration but including all the bonus content of the collector's edition to a new audience is only a good thing in my books. This game isn't flawless, but damn if it isn't a world that I love to hop back into.
