Oct 24, 2024A short but intense horror trip that bridges the gap between Alan Wake 2 and the rest of the Remedy universe in a clever way.

Oct 24, 2024The Lake House DLC is another spectacular and spooky slice of Alan Wake II action. It introduces some fantastic new supporting characters to the Remedy Connected Universe, as well as a terrifying new enemy type to overcome and some wonderfully eerie environments to explore. The challenge of its puzzles may be light, but its combat is still chillingly dark even despite the fact it’s not hugely different from that of the main game, and scouring for the many notes, videos, and audio recordings littered throughout its fear-inducing facility made for a genuinely gripping investigation. Funny, frightening, and full of surprises, The Lake House DLC is a tightly paced slice of psychological horror that serves as an absorbing addendum to Alan Wake II.

Oct 24, 2024The stronger of the two expansions presents itself as a worthwhile new "Mini-Control" that will effortlessly entertain you for three to four hours.

Oct 23, 2024The Lake House can be considered a conservative DLC, with a gameplay that does not stray far from the classic Survival template. But what makes it special is the way it connects the universe of Remedy's games, with a narrative and a story that you can enjoy even without knowing the series, and that closes the plot well. Too bad it's too short.
