Here’s some good news for bargain hunters: Amazon’s Black Friday 2024 sale is still on. Discounts abound on all kinds of things, including video games. And one of the best video game deals coming out is Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition to $49.99. That’s a substantial discount considering the list price is $80. It also happens to be a great game, and this release comes with a whole bunch of fantastic stuff. Let’s dive into it all below.
The deal is good for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game. So what will you find in this enhanced Deluxe Edition? Let’s list it:
You’ll 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 added a completely different game – it’s wild. So you have the entire Alan Wake saga in one package.
If you’re wondering if the game itself is any good, you can be sure it is (provided you can handle spooky games). For starters, it easily won multiple categories for IGN’s 2023 Game of the Year.
It also received a 9/10 rating in our Alan Wake II review, with critic Tristan Ogilvie writing: “Alan Wake II delivers one of the boldest and most gripping survival horror stories this side of Silent Hill 2, and delivers it with uniformly impeccable art direction and sound design and brings the series’ signature light-based shooters to life as if they were locked up and loaded with a fresh pack of Energizers.”
“Even though the skill-up systems feel a bit redundant, and there are a few repetitive clichés that have stuck with me in Saga’s story, both sides of this twisted tale are nonetheless endlessly fascinating, often frightening, and consistently surprising. Alan Wake II is an outstanding survival horror sequel that makes the iconic original seem like nothing more than a rough first version by comparison.”
And if that’s not enough for you, check out our equally great add-on reviews. First came Night Springs, which offers three standalone Twilight Zone-like stories. Finally, The Lake House serves as a narrative bridge between Alan Wake II and the upcoming Control 2. Even with everything that’s included in this package, there’s plenty to look forward to in the Remedy-verse.
What to expect on Cyber Monday
As Black Friday continues throughout the weekend for major retailers, keep an eye out for ongoing Black Friday video game deals for Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. Waiting for Cyber Monday is risky because the hottest gaming deals usually sell out quickly. That’s why Black Friday is usually a better time to buy video games.
For tech products, expect many of the deals to continue into Cyber Monday, when TVs and laptops are likely to receive further discounts. The difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals has become essentially negligible as online shopping continues to be the norm, even at Walmart. Walmart will also host an online Cyber Monday sale starting on Sunday, December 1.
