The first game I played on my Xbox Series S is a 10 year old 360 game.

I wanted to play Alan Wake for what felt like forever. Being on PS3 & PS4 however, I never had the chance to delve into this one. The Series S is my first Xbox system and just knowing that this was there made me incredibly exciting to finally take the plunge.

I mean for me what's not to love? There's David Lynch inspirations as well as Stephen King, it's got a licensed soundtrack full of bangers, there's meta elements and a goofy ass plot that still completely grabbed me anyway. This is my perfect game and yeah while it's certainly dated now, I just couldn't stop myself from falling completely in love with it. Remedy are easily one of the best single player developers out there today and this is easily one of their absolute best. Counting the days till the sequel!!!
