Some will take longer to burn, others more bullets to finally put down, but the same general mechanics remain across the story. The Taken, as the enemies will later be dubbed, are protected by the darkness like a shield, leading you to use the torch to burn it off them before taking them out with more conventional weapons. The key to the Alan Wake experience is darkness and light whereas most horror titles go down the road of jump scares and seemingly ridiculous monster designs, Remedy puts the focus on light itself as your true weapon, set amongst eccentric characters and foreboding scenery.Įarly on, the game introduces you to the basic mechanics through a nightmare sequence, where you’ll learn how important a humble torch will be. It’s not quite horror, not quite all-out blast fest, but the pieces come together to present a unique narrative that still holds up rather well all these years later.
Spilt into chapters and presented like a TV series, Alan Wake is a Twilight Zone of ideas within a third-person action thriller. With the cops questioning him and a week wiped from his memory, Alan must piece together what happened and why the dark is suddenly out to get him.
ALAN WAKE REMASTERED UPDATE SERIES
Unfortunately for Alan, things go pear shaped when a series of unfortunate events leads him down a path of shadowy monsters, nightmares turned real and his wife and humble holiday home going missing. Troubled by a two-year-long writer’s block, Alan Wake and wife Alice travel to the rather beautiful town of Bright Falls for a little rest and recuperation.
ALAN WAKE REMASTERED UPDATE UPDATE
All of that has thankfully changed now, thanks largely to the success of Control and the backing of Epic Games, which leads us to this surprise announcement and release of Alan Wake Remastered, a modern update that intends to re-introduce us to this peculiar world. Yes, the game had strong reviews when it first launched in 2010 (the same week as Red Dead Redemption, no less), but sales weren’t quite strong enough to afford the studio the chance to continue the story.
There was a long time there where it felt like Alan Wake, a former Xbox 360 exclusive developed by Finnish studio Remedy, was never going to get its justified time in the sun.
