Here’s some good news for deal hunters: Amazon’s Black Friday 2024 sale has officially begun. Discounts abound on all sorts of things, including video games. And one of the best video game deals to pop up so far is Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition dropping down to $49.99. That’s a big discount, seeing as the list price is $80. It also happens to be a terrific game, and this edition comes with all sorts of rad stuff. Let’s dive into it all below.
Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition on Sale for $49.99
The deal is good for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game. So what do you get in this souped-up deluxe edition? Let’s list it out in bullet-point form.
So you get the full base game, both expansions (which are also awesome), some cosmetics and in-game items, and the entire first game in remastered form. They threw in a whole other game – it’s wild. So you have the complete Alan Wake saga all in one package.
If you’re wondering whether the game itself is any good, you can rest assured it is (provided you can handle spooky games). For starters, it handily won many of the categories in IGN’s Game of the Year 2023.
It also scored a 9/10 in our Alan Wake II review, with critic Tristan Ogilvie writing: “Alan Wake II delivers one of the boldest and most brain-bending survival-horror storylines this side of Silent Hill 2, presents it with uniformly immaculate art direction and audio design, and reinvigorates the series’ signature light-based shooting as though it’s been locked and loaded with a fresh pack of Energizers."
"Even though its skill-upgrade systems seem a little superfluous and there were a few repeated cliches in Saga’s story that stuck in my craw, I nonetheless found both sides of this twisted tale to be endlessly fascinating, frequently fear-inducing, and consistently surprising. Alan Wake II is a superb survival-horror sequel that makes the cult-classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison.”
And if that’s not enough for you, check out our similarly glowing reviews of the expansions. First came Night Springs, which offers three standalone stories reminiscent of the Twilight Zone. And finally, The Lake House provides a narrative bridge between Alan Wake II and the upcoming Control 2. So even with all that comes in this package, there’s plenty to look forward to in the Remedy-verse.
