This will become very apparent to you within seconds of loading the game, as Alan introduces himself as ‘My name is Alan Wake, I’m a writer’. Nowadays, I don’t find Alan Wake as scary as I did back then, it’s still a very tense and thrilling experience, and due to this new outlook, it almost makes me feel as if I am experiencing the game for the first time again.įor those of you that haven’t heard of or played Alan Wake before, the basics of the story are as follows (No Spoilers, I promise) our main character and Stephen King stand-in Alan Wake is a famous in-universe writer. While I would like to consider myself older and braver now, I will admit at the time of the original release of Alan Wake I was terrified by everything that the game threw at me.

Now you’re probably wondering why I said ‘unfortunate,’ well, that’s because, at the time, I was around 13 or 14 years old and also a massive coward. I was lucky (or unfortunate enough, depending on who you ask) to have played Alan Wake when it was initially released in 2010.

Platform(s): PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series S and X, Xbox One, S and X Sometimes the past truly comes back to haunt you. I want to take this opportunity to say that I did enjoy Alan Wake: Remastered, but I would be lying if I said it was perfect. However, remasters aren’t remakes, and no matter how many fresh coats of paint you throw over something, it does little to mitigate the passage of time.

For people that have already played it, it is a great excuse to give it another go. Remastering a game from 2010 has its perks it’s an excellent way for people who missed out on it initially to finally get a chance to play it, especially when that game was an Xbox 360 exclusive at that time. I’ve been waiting for Alan Wake Remastered for a long time as it has always been a game that holds a special place in my heart.
