Alan Wake II: Night Springs offers three distinct stories, each featuring a different character and unique in its own way.
Remedy has truly experimented with each episode, incorporating varied gameplay solutions, meta-narrative elements, and humorous sketches. Everything is well-connected to the Remedyverse, expanding its lore in new and interesting ways.

3 Twilight Zone style episodes, about an hour each. Like that they could go even wackier because of how it's presented as apart of the show.
My ranking of episodes would go 3>1>2. Episode 3 has a lot of unique moments in it, they ran wild.

Falar qualquer coisa é dar spoiler mas é tão bom ver a Remedy se divertindo com suas franquias!

Não é muito longo, cada episódio terminei com uns 40 minutos e joguei entre dias diferentes e acho que essa é a melhor maneira de jogar essa dlc

Episode 1: Number One Fan - 41mins (8/10)
I don't know if the rating 8 out of 10 is fair, because it was a whole lot of fun. Rose is hilarious. Her crush for Alan and her subsequent quest to save him from him evil twin brother with a semi-automatic shotgun which has an almost infinite amount of bullets is hilarious. The boss fight was fun. All-in-all an enjoyable little side step of the main story of Alan Wake.

Episode 2: North Star - 36mins (6/10)
Well, this was a letdown... I knew we were going to control (no pun intended) Jesse so I was hopeful we would be using her full set of powers. Unfortunately that's not the case. This part of the game is set in Coffee World, which I like but the puzzles (math!!) and combat are uninspiring and the story itself seems to contradict Control. It was OK, but I didn't love it.

Episode 3: Time Breaker - 45mins (9/10)
I like how this episode really changes things around, like all other episodes you get plastered with ammo and health for some reason. Combat is nothing special, but this one with the actor Shawn in the limelight at least is super creepy. You explore different scenes of Alan Wake, but the story is distinct (even though it's still intertwined with the main narrative). It was satisfying and the way this game uses different gameplay modes it's very refreshing.

I expected more explanation rather than confusion, but the content is great anyway!

I loved playing with new characters, especially Rose. Her story was the best!

DLC #1 - кайф, дали настреляться, причем из дробовика, по антуражу тоже кайф - по-хорошему всратый ситкомовский вайбик.
DLC #2 - ну типа интересно сюжетно, потому что это связь с Control, но геймплейно хуйня - в геймплее за Алана врагам похуй на выстрелы, плюс все они одинаковые и скучные, плюс оружие ток пистолет.
DLC #3 - по геймплею те же проблемы, что и во втором DLC, но сюжетно становится еще интереснее, потому что мультиверс и Ворлин Дор.

Short, but fun. True Love very reminiscent of American Nightmare. Third one awesome exploration of multiverse law.
Second one bought back Jesse from control, but was the most disappointing of the three. I hate the coffee world map.

Although the fantastical "what-if" scenarios are interesting, the overall experience is way too short and the cost-to-value just simply isn't there. Here's hoping for better with the part 2 DLC drop in the future!

The Night Springs DLC for Alan Wake 2 is a quick little reminder that the Remedy universe still exists. It's serves as a desert to the main course. For 30 dollars, I wouldn't really recommend it, it doesn't add much more to the actual story of the game. Instead it offers it's own version of "twilight zone episodes" inspired by the game. You could read into it a bit deeper as it fleshes out Mr. Door a bit more, but aside from that it's mostly throw-away story vignettes. Out of the three stories, one is quite entertaining and laugh out loud funny. The other two are mostly walking simulators with easy gameplay and puzzles. If you're a Remedy fan, then it's an obvious must buy, but if not, maybe just wait until it comes in a bundle with the main game for cheap.

Pros:
- Amazing stories, providing opportunities to look deeply into each character.
- Remedy special attention to every detail - every dialogue, writtings on the walls and banners, company logos, all readable texts, objects and etc.
- Combat feels very good due to insane amount of resources that game gives you (on Normal difficulty, not playing other ones). So it almost felt like third-person shooter.
- Stunning visual and audio design in every episode. Everuthing is just perfect about it. Nothing interupts you from feeling the world of the Night Springs.

Cons:
- Stories are very short, want so much more of them!
- Questinable minus - there are now much more questions then before DLC 😀

Overall impression:
- Absolutely lovely DLC. It showed up that Remedy is still in its best shape. Perfectly written and directed stories, mind-blowing attention to every small detail, easter eggs, hilarious jokes and humor, paralles universes, meta and multiverses. Sure, gameplay is not so various (except some moments in 3rd episode), but it is not making any effect on such short DLC. Awesome, I absolutely love it!

Прикольное и веселое дополнение, которое чуть больше погружает нас в историю мультивселенной от Remedy. Имеет большое количество отсылок в каждом эпизоде, сами эпизоды совсем небольшие, чуть меньше часа. Очень понравился третий эпизод, но немного расстроил второй.

I liked the original alan wake 2, however I didnt love it as much as everyone else. This is definitely a weird game, and I found myself having trouble understanding the many twists and turns of the plot and points, and how each of the weird set pieces interacted with the overall story and what they could each represent. Night springs does away with this by the fact that their is no overall plot, instead replaced with 3 smaller stories. While I don't think any of these stories are better than the base game, I think they are all very interesting, especially with how they interact with the wider Remedy universe.

The first episode was probably my least favorite, but I still had an amazing time playing it. I laughed multiple times during it due to its more ironic tone. The 2nd episode is better, going from a more ironic action packed episode, to a slower more survival horror based one. The last episode is honestly more story focused than anything, with so many unique scenarios and moments that I think it may be my favorite.

This DLC is much less survival horror focused than the main game combat wise, giving you plenty of ammo and resources to have literally no problem going thru. I think this really highlighted for me how fantastic the gunplay in this game really is, along with how detailed the environments your going thru are. I've seen people compare this to American nightmare from the first game, however I don't think that's true. Sure this is a lot more combat focused than the main game, however I'd argue that the main focus of this DLC is just to explore the weird world of Alan Wake, and all the multiverseal concepts that can come from that.

Overall I enjoyed my short trip back into this game and I can easily recommend this to anyone who liked the original game. Sure it is a bit short and doest really add anything to the original game, but it does a great job giving the same vibe as the main story, and I think many fans will appreciate that.

Episode 1 - Earnestly silly and genuinely funny from start to finish. Probably by my favorite out of the three

Episode 2 - Getting to play as Jessie again is a lovely surprise and the full auto pistol is great and fun to use. There's one puzzle that initially annoyed me but when I figured it out it felt extremely satisfying. Only real con is the instant kill stealth section at the end which sucked.

Episode 3 - Probably the craziest out of the three with it's multiverse premise and using many different form of media. Taking Meta to new levels.

Also that Night Springs song is great and I want to download it now.

Great DLC that's a bit on the short side but still an amazing romp that takes Alan Wake 2 to even weirder and wilder places.

A fun little bite sized DLC containing 3 different stories. All 3 stories are fun, challenging and short, enough to fill any Alan Wake craving you might have until the release of the next DLC. My score for Night Springs is a 9/10.

Those 3 short stories were really fun ! I especially loved how they went all out on the "Number one fan" episode to make it simply silly and fun ! The other 2 were also great but completely different. I was happy to be able to play as Jesse again :D

If you loved the base game of Alan Wake II like I did, you'll very likely like this DLC, and you'll probably like it even more if you're a fan of remedy's past games.

I have no major comments on Episode 1. It was certainly the funniest episode, but it was somehow also the most normal of them all. It starts off a bit slow but get's into it's own identity eventually. 8/10

I think episode 2 was slightly underwhelming, and I was particularly excited for that one as it is the episode where you play as Control's Jesse Faden. However, it was still pretty good. (not explicit story spoilers, but my issue with the story:) I know these episodes are what-ifs, but it felt like a bit of a tease to include Jesse and not really have any development for her character here at all, even in the "fake universe" that the episode takes place in, and then a quite abrupt ending. I think episode 2 was a bit of a victim of it's own wierdness. 7/10

Episode 3 was excellent. I can't really add anything without spoiling, but if you like the metafictional elements of Alan Wake II, you'll love this one, and it was a little bit longer than the others. I can tell a very good amount of the budget of the DLC went here. 9/10

None of the episodes introduce any major new gameplay mechanics, but I didn't really expect them to.

My largest complaint is the <2 hour runtime for my regular playthrough. I did some light looking around and read most of the documents I found, but I don't imagine the most indepth playthrough could take more than ~2h30. I think it was just good enough to justify the price that I paid for the deluxe upgrade, given there will also be another DLC coming out soon.

Alan Wake II: Night Springs is a compact collection of standalone stories that veer from entertainingly violent shootouts, to tense stretches of survival horror, before settling on and reveling in the utterly batshit craziness that makes Remedy’s multiverse of madness so keenly absorbing to explore. There’s admittedly not much new here from a gameplay perspective, and it feels like a bit of a tease to play as a version of Control’s heroine stripped of her special abilities in the second episode. Even so, the highs I felt during my short return to Alan Wake’s universe greatly outweighed the lows, and I’d gladly play through another collection of bite-sized side stories if Remedy ever decided to bake another batch. Could there be more Night Springs in the future? Hope springs eternal.
