Remedy Entertainment returns to the Alan Wake franchise with a sequel for the PS5, Xbox, and PC (via the Epic Games Store), which mixes survival horror with elements from games like Control.
Horror drowns in symmetry: evil twins, two souls occupying one body, light and dark creating shadow, the Other Side, the Dark Place, the Upside Down. It is part of the cascading telemetry of fear utilized by our best horror artists, weaving nightmares out of pleasant dreams, whittling hell from the bones of our heavens. Remedy Entertainment has created not only one of their best games to date but one of the best games of this already incredible year. Indeed, it is my game of the year.
The shadow aspects are not all dangerous, but you can only tell which ones will hurt after observing them for a while — this creates a constantly tense scenario because you never know which, if any, will attack. Alan keeps his flashlight trained, while the shadows whisper his name alongside weird incantations about dreams and darkness — reminiscent of the infected floating office workers in Remedy’s previous title, Control, which is set in the same universe.
