I’d hit a checkpoint here and decided to go back and resume from here when I could come back to the game. On my way to the top of the dam, there’s a segment with a giant spotlight which you need to use to help cull some of the Taken. Unfortunately, there is one major issue I ran into later in the game.

Even on the ferry entering town he’s got a strange feeling about the place. Hartman in town if perhaps that pesky block doesn’t clear up. And there’s always the famous psychologist Dr. The town is well-known for being a fabulous place for creative types. Alan Wake Remastered Review – Word Crimesīurnt out and suffering from a major case of writer’s block, mystery-novelist Alan Wake and his wife Alice take a vacation to the small, idyllic town of Bright Falls.

Curious to see how I think the experience holds up over a decade after its initial release? Hopefully this review convinces you that this twisted journey is well worth your time. This suspense/horror game innovated the genre with light-based weaponry and wove its way into future Remedy projects like Quantum Break and Control. Alan Wake Remastered is an oldie but a goodie if ever there was one. One of my absolute favourite games from the Xbox 360 era has finally come to PlayStation and I cannot recommend this game enough.
