![]() ![]() And if your only option is the Switch? Maybe skip this one and just trust everyone who says it’s a game well worth playing.Įpic Games provided us with an Alan Wake Remastered Switch code for review purposes. Unless you’re a Switch-only gamer, you’d be well-advised to ignore this altogether, and playing the game on any of the many other systems this is available on. Alan Wake Remastered offers the complete experience, with the main game and its two story expansions The Signal and The Writer in stunning new 4K visuals. All of those are huge pluses in the game’s favour.īut even with all those pros working in the game’s favour, it’s hard to recommend Alan Wake Remastered when it means suffering through such a terrible port. On top of all that, this remaster includes the two story expansions, The Signal and The Writer, as well as a commentary track by the game’s creative director. The voice acting is very good, and the setting of Bright Falls seems well-imagined. The story, about a writer searching for his missing wife, is still creepy, and its world is populated with a cast of interesting characters. It's not known anything else beside that and has not been officially confirmed by Remedy Entertainment and any other related party. What’s especially frustrating about Alan Wake Remastered on the Switch is that it’s not hard to see why the game is so well-regarded. Alan Wake Remastered for Nintendo Switch Rated in Brazil The game has been rated in Brazil, with platforms mentioning Nintendo Switch. In theory, I guess, this could’ve added to the tension by making things hiding in the dark that much more mysterious, but in practice, it just looks even uglier. Seeing as Alan Wake is, rather famously, a game where your flashlight is your greatest weapon, you can probably guess a) how much of the game is spent in darkness, and b) what this means for the game’s performance on the Switch. ![]() Unfortunately, everything looks even worse when action switches to nighttime, when on top of the above issues, everything suddenly gets a lot darker and harder to see. Everything looks blurry and unfocused, the characters look like they stepped out of a game from the original Xbox, and the scenery looks flat and unfinished. While the cutscenes are mostly passable, the moment it switches back to the game, it looks atrocious. To be blunt, Alan Wake Remastered’s performance on the Switch is absolutely abysmal. ![]() And for a limited time, it’s discounted at 20, before it goes back up to the usual 29.99 price point. Without knowing anything about the other versions of the game, I feel confident in saying that this was a bad way to experience the game for the first time. The Alan Wake remaster is available today on the Nintendo Switch. It wasn’t until it came out on the Switch, though, that the stars aligned and I finally got to play it. I remember hearing nothing but good things about it back when it came out on the Xbox 360, and the Remastered version was constantly tempting me. Up until now, I’d never played Alan Wake before.
