Alan Wake II is a horror recreation by way of and thru, and, extra importantly—to me, not less than—it’s the primary horror recreation I’ve ever been enthusiastic about taking part in. However why? What was it about Alan Wake that made me Alan Wish to give it an Alan Whirl? And what saved me hooked even after I confronted down terror after terror?
Alan Wake II really was an surprising standout in a yr chock-full of stellar video games that I, by all accounts, ought to have been extra enthusiastic about taking part in. But it surely was this intriguing, creepy, bizarre story that saved me coming again for extra. The Quarry and The Final of Us have been nice intro-level horror video games, however after taking part in Alan Wake II, I’m extra within the horror style than ever. I’m now not afraid of my very own proverbial Darkish Place, and I really feel emboldened to attempt video games that I in any other case would have been an excessive amount of of a coward to even think about. Now, because of Alan, Saga, and all the oldsters at Treatment, I’m extra afraid than ever—and I find it irresistible.
