As such, he and his wife, Alice, plan a trip to Bright Falls at the recommendation of his friend and agent, Barry. The question is, does it hold up today and is it as good as people make it out to be? Let’s find out…Īlan Wake is a supernatural horror game staring the titular protagonist, a bestselling crime novelist who has been suffering from writer’s block for the last two years. Thus, with the backing of Epic Games and support from d3t Ltd, Remedy have released the long-awaited Alan Wake Remaster, not only on Xbox and PC platforms, but on Sony’s PlayStation for the first time! The IP was owned by Microsoft and remained dormant up until 2019, when Remedy were finally able to acquire it. After two years of pushing by the developers, the game finally came to PC thanks to Nitro Games, just in time for the spin-off, American Nightmare, which launched a few days later on Xbox and on PC in the following months.

Well, not until last week when I had the chance to play Alan Wake Remastered on the PlayStation 5 all the way through, including the two DLC expansions.Īlan Wake launched as an Xbox 360 exclusive back in 2010, Remedy wanted the game to launch on both Xbox and PC but Microsoft cancelled the latter due to presuming you’d only enjoy the game and it’s atmosphere if playing from a couch, rather than a PC monitor on a desk. Since then, I’ve heard a lot of great things about the title, seen all the requests and demands for a sequel, and I’ve even played the AWE DLC for Control – yet I still never went back to see what all the fuss was about. A few generations ago, my choice of console was the Xbox 360 – mainly due to the exclusives – yet I was never really a fan of stealth, horror, or spooky games, so I never had any interest in trying out Alan Wake when it originally launched back in 2010.
