It is a phenomenally written, mind-bending, and horror-filled story. The transition between Alan Wake and Saga Anderson is incredible.
Very impressive level design, the atmosphere is outstanding, and the environmental audio is perfect.
Boss fights are both thrilling and horrifying and are always immensely challenging.
Exceptionally inventive problem-solving gameplay elements, like the mind place and the writer's area.
Visuals as photorealistic as possible, including animations that look and move like real people.

Overall, a fair checkpoint system with the ability to freely save in secure shelters.
Three levels of difficulty (modifiable at any time)
Widely intuitive use
The "current objectives" available at any time are almost always very clear and useful.
Fighting much less often in general...
Super "mécanique de retranscription" et "mécanique de lumière" with Alan, which allow for modifying entire environments in real time.
Game figurines with sometimes very different mechanisms ("Detective and Author")
Many puzzles and opportunities for discovery in an open world (not mandatory).
Many role-playing game-like improvement options for both heroes.
Later, a more or less free order of chapters with Saga and Alan.
Mainly a very high quality texture.
Exceptional light and shadow effects without exception.
Continual flow between the world and the realm of thought and changes during the "rewriting".
Smooth performance throughout, even in quality mode (PS5).
Stunningly staged cinematics.
First-class English speakers, generally good German speakers.
Great soundtrack
Excellent sound effects

A gripping story with stellar performances from the cast.
Crafty use of investigation and location-altering mechanics
Spellbinding sequences, moments, and reveals that leave you in awe.
Collectibles with their own puzzles and functions make the task feel more meaningful

PCWorld.comBrilliantly written: The best mindbending storytelling since BioShock
Wicked transmedia mix of game, novel and late-night TV show
Innovative gameplay: We write scenes as Alan that transform the level
Excellent acting: This is Us star Melanie Liburd is fantastic as the FBI profiler and Ilka Villi plays the schizophrenic novelist to perfection
Wacky dream worlds: New York in film noir whets the appetite for the Max Payne remake
Remedy never plays it safe, but always maximizes creativity
