To be prepared to play Alan Wake 2, which is one of the most awarded games last year, I played the original title to catch up with the story.
I think the strengths of this game are his narrative and his charismatic characters. The plot is well written, as a real mystery novel, and is interesting enough to make you complete the game.
The adventure takes place in Bright falls, an seemingly peaceful village inhabited by strange people. The game invites you to explore his surroundings, rewarding you with collectible items almost every time you stray from the main path.
In therms of gameplay, it presents some original ideas, like the use of the flashlight to fight "The Dark Presence". But in the end the game can feel repetitive, due the lack of variety of enemies, weapons or puzzles.
Finally, this remaster includes two extra episodes which don't offer much more than more challenging zones
