Alan Wake Remastered Review – IGN

It’s because IGN many times have weird takes on games, and when there are much more in-depth reviewers like ACG whose reviews often don’t show up on Metacritic, while IGN actually weighs heavier than other sites when affecting the metric, it becomes a problem.

Even with this review, they’re more critiquing a more than decade old game still being that same game, just prettier.
That’s what people wanted.

I’ve never seen people asking to rework any of the core of the title. Honestly, when the game comes up, many say it’s one of their favorite games of that generation and they want a sequel.

And then they criticize the more grounded combat, in what is essentially a survival horror game, for not being more bombastic, and compare it to the combat in their power fantasy that is Control.

Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t care less about Metacritic, but it does affect public reception for the average consumer. Games that didn’t review very well are some of my favorite games all the same.
But when IGN’s 7 means more than everyone else’s 9 or 10, there are issues to be had.
