PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC; Remedy Entertainment/Epic GamesWith two protagonists exploring different worlds, this thriller is a thoroughly entertaining blend of detective procedural and narrative weirdness

Inspired by Twin Peaks, The Twilight Zone, and Stephen King 2010’s Alan Wake told the story of an author with a case of writer’s block so severe he became literally haunted by his own creations. It was an ambitious but muddled psychological thriller that struggled to overcome the inherent silliness of its premise.
