‎Alan Wake Remastered is the tortured writer's return to the video game industry, and through the big door, too. Thanks to this more than remarkable remastering, we can enjoy the main story and its DLCs in full. With a plot that catches from the first moment, full of mystery and terror, through a fun gameplay to rage, and an excellent atmosphere, we find one of the essential titles of this year 2021. We just need to pray, and wait for Remedy to finally make a sequel to this authentic classic.‎

Alan Wake Remastered is exactly what it says in the title, and that is a good thing. Alan Wake has received a thorough and clean remaster that doesn't compromise its original look and vision but enhances the gameplay by using all of the PS5's central features, including fast loading times and DualSense feedback. Its story and gameplay, while not perfect, still hold up well today. There is no story-driven game quite like Alan Wake, and being able to revisit this Xbox 360 classic on the PS5 is a dream come true - especially since this likely means that we will get that long-promised sequel.

If you've never played Alan Wake, this is the best possible way to experience the game. For anyone who loves horror or Remedy's other titles, there's a ton to unpack here with an engaging narrative and stellar gameplay. The remastered enhancements bolster the game even further, giving it a place in today's gaming world, and while the gameplay doesn't perhaps hold up as well as it did in 2010, Alan Wake Remastered is still as joyous as it was back then and a perfect treat for the Halloween season.

With a remaster that leaves something to be desired with the lack of 4K resolution, minor bugs and a stable performance, Alan Wake manages to lock you in with an excellent narrative and an engaging story, making a repetitive gameplay go unnoticed most of the time. Still, if we compare it to the original release, for sure this is the best version to get to play at the moment.

If you look at Alan Wake Remastered as a brand new game that you never played before, you'll definitely have some good time with this psychological thriller, but if you already played the original version then don't expect any significant changes as the 2 versions are basically the same.

Alan Wake Remastered, as Agent Cooper would say, is like a great cup of coffee, of the black one, and served hot; however, you will have to be a coffee lover to be able to fully appreciate it. Remastered or not, the original game was also great at the time and in this version it can also be appreciated on Sony consoles after the end of the previous exclusivity due to the collaboration between Microsoft and Remedy.

Good pen and unique style - Alan Wake confirms that despite the passage of years, he still has this "something". It is worth visiting it in the renovated Bright Falls.
