Release Date: October 5, 2021
A refreshed version of the hit action game by Remedy Entertainment studio, whose source of inspiration was the prose of Stephen King. The most important advantage of Alan Wake Remastered is the improved graphics which support 4K resolution.
Alan Wake Remastered is a remastered version of the survival horror action game inspired, among others, by Stephen King's novels and the TV series Twin Peaks. The game was originally released in 2010 on the Xbox 360 console and, until its release on PC, was one of the most important exclusives on that system. Alan Wake was developed by the Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment, well known thanks to the first two instalments of the Max Payne series and the Quantum Break and Control games. The development of the remaster was for a long time the subject of rumours and speculation, and its official announcement was made in September 2021.
The main character of the game is Alan Wake, a popular author of bestselling novels, who in search of inspiration goes on holiday with his wife to the picturesque town of Bright Falls, located in the American state of Washington. After the mysterious disappearance of his beloved during their holiday, he becomes involved in a series of supernatural events that cause him to lose touch with reality as he knows it...
The plot in Alan Wake Remastered is told in an episodic format that imitates a classic TV series. Each Alan Wake episode features its own twists and cliffhanger, as well as a brief recap of events so far and a preview of future revelations.
Alan Wake Remastered also offers fans two additional scenarios, The Signal and The Writer, which were originally available as DLC.
Alan Wake Remastered is a third-person perspective action game, enriched with elements known from classic survival horrors. Most of the time during the game we will spend wandering a region of Bright Falls. We'll visit forest trails, farms and local tourist attractions. On our way we meet many NPCs and hidden collectibles.
Our main enemy is a mysterious "darkness", that is a paranormal power taking control over people and animals. These enemies appear only at night and without artificial light they remain completely indestructible. In addition to standard weapons, Alan Wake must always have a torch at hand to weaken his opponents' defences. Unfortunately, torches quickly run out of batteries. Replaceable batteries therefore remain the main resource we look for during the exploration of locations. Fortunately, sometimes we can also use other sources of light, such as lanterns or flares.
Developers of Alan Wake Remastered have improved 3D models in the game (including the main character), as well as most of the textures. Additional graphic effects and support for 4K resolution are also new. Another attraction of the remaster is the possibility to play the game with the director's commentary enabled, thanks to which we can learn more about the development process, as well as the challenges the developers faced.

The most exciting time for gamers begins! It is, of course, fall, which as usual will bring a rich set of new games to play! Depending where you live, chances are the weather is getting colder and rainier, so it's the perfect time for games.
Horror titles have a lot to offer, but the likes of Silent Hill may be too much for some. With help comes a writer running around psychedelic towns to the sound of metal ballads. Alan Wake provides a great start to a horror adventure.

The remaster of the first Alan Wake did not turn out to be a bestseller. Sales of Remedy Entertainment's game, released in 2021, are an order smaller than the developers expected. In addition, the game is generating worse and worse results every month.

Game Ratings for Alan Wake Remastered Video Game.
ZTGD: 8 / 10 by Ken McKown
Alan Wake remastered is something I have always wanted to exist as the original was highly under looked when it came out. It was tied to one console and frankly Remedy was not quite the household name it is today. It is one of their best games and worth checking out whether you played the original or not. It still carries plenty of jank and questionable design mechanics from that era, but the story and characters excel it past most of its own issues. This is one experience that is worth revisiting or experiencing for the first time.
DualShockers: 7 / 10 by Sam Woods
To me, Alan Wake is very much a product of its time. While its story elements hold up well, much of the gameplay feels dated when compared to the games of today. The engaging story will only take it so far, as cumbersome controls and repetitive, paint-by-numbers gameplay mean at times, players may be left a little bit bored or frustrated.
VG247: 4 / 5 by Tom Orry
Alan Wake was and still is an occasionally bizarre action horror game, with some lovely set-pieces, fun combat, and what I hope is a slightly tongue-in-cheek sense of self-importance. I think it stands up remarkably well 11 years after its original release and this Remaster is the best way to experience what I consider to be a modern classic.
