One of the most underrated cinematic adventure games ever made, Alan Wake is a deft mix of survival horror and storytelling from Remedy Entertainment, the team behind the original Max Payne games.
Play as Alan Wake, a crime fiction author as he is caught up in a mystery of his own. After arriving in the small town of Bright Falls, Washington, Alan must traverse the town and surrounding woodland areas, trying desperately to survive against the darkness, a malevolent force slowly taking over the entire town. His best weapon is the light of his flashlight, which weakens the creatures enough to harm them.
Featuring a twisted, suspenseful thriller story and two Special Feature DLC packs, The Writer and The Signal, Alan Wake was a sleeper hit when originally released in 2010, spawning a quasi-sequel a few years later. In 2021, publisher Epic Games is re-releasing a remastered version of Alan Wake, titled Alan Wake: Remasted. Alan Wake Remastered will include all DLC and a 4k visual upgrade.
Alan Wake: Remastered will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S and X. The original Alan Wake is available for PC and Xbox 360.
