Getting Lost In The Darkness | Alan Wake Retrospective

In 2010, Remedy released Alan Wake, a third-person psychological thriller action-adventure centered around a writer in the small town of Bright Falls trying to rescue his wife from the Dark Presence hiding beneath the lake. It became modestly successful and gained a seriously dedicated fanbase after its release, with several referring to the game as a masterpiece. But I've always found that label strange — for sure, the game is really good, but is it really deserving of that title? That's what we're gonna find out today as I analyze Alan Wake's story, gameplay, aesthetics, and horrors. #AlanWake #RemedyEntertainment #AlanWake2 ---- Subscribe! https://tinyurl.com/y8hebek3 Join the CloudConnection Discord! https://discord.gg/MVSrcGz I stream on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/cloudc0nnection Want to support the show?
