Released for the Xbox 360 in 2010, Alan Wake tells the story of a troubled author who embarks on a desperate search for his wife, Alice, who has gone missing. Alan will need to search the Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls, and slowly uncover the pages of a horror story that he apparently penned himself.

The combat in Alan Wake is still unique to this day and involves shining a flashlight on an enemy to make them vulnerable. Youll need to keep an eye on your flashlights batteries and ammunition, and will often face overwhelming odds which can require Alan to take evasive action.

The game was generally well-received and scored an 83 on Metacritic ;
however, its long been regarded as one of the best games of the Xbox 360 generation and was later ported to Steam. The fact that PlayStation owners will be able to sample it for themselves means the Alan Wake Remastered will have immediate appeal, including with Xbox fans who were hoping Remedys game would be spruced up for modern consoles.

Alan Wake Remastered could also pave the way for a sequel, which has been tipped for quite some time. Either way, if youre new to the game or simply cant wait to experience Bright Falls again, Alan Wake Remastered sounds like it could be worth shining a light on.
