Nov 13, 2024This is a swan song that really isn't a swan song. Remedy ends Alan Wake 2 with a link to what comes next… kind of. If you love Alan Wake 2 as I do, you'll love this, as The Lake House is more of those stylings with an FBC filter. Agent Estevez is awesome in her starring role, along with themes in the narrative that make you look beyond the paint covered canvas.

Nov 5, 2024It's not a complete home run as a package, but with enough standout moments throughout the two packs, the expansion upgrade should be an easy buy for fans.

Oct 23, 2024The Lake House is a brilliant serving of Remedy horror goodness, acting as a cocktail of two franchise identities, to deliver something that is narratively intriguing and visually distinct. It’s a tight-knit experience packed with expanding lore and clever scares, and a keen reminder of Remedy’s pedigree. It’s an interesting link in the wider world of Remedy games too that leaves us sad to see this chapter end, but ever curious to how it will all continue.

Oct 24, 2024The Lake House adds to Alan Wake 2's incredible ecosystem in a simple way, but maintains the quality of Remedy's work. What was great is still great, and now all that's left for fans of the franchise and the developer is to wait for the brilliant new adventures and horrors that Sam Lake and his team are preparing.

Oct 28, 2024Alan Wake 2 signs off on a typically strong note with The Lake House, which is a strong expansion that delivers an engaging new survival horror chapter while also setting up the future of the Remedy Connected Universe.

Oct 25, 2024After the bizarre variations on the theme of Night Springs, The Lake House brings us back to the survival horror genre, giving us another of the infinite facets of the increasingly stimulating Wakeverso. In less than three hours, the essences of Control and AW2 are condensed to distill them and put them aside for the future... which promises to be nothing short of exciting. Perhaps one or two more hours to give more breathing space to the events, however, would not have hurt.

Oct 25, 2024The Lake House was a pretty big letdown overall. It simply did not succeed at anything it set out to do. It was not a thrilling or scary journey through a labyrinth. It wasn't a thrilling expansion of the world of the Remedy Connected Universe. Nor was it an effective teaser for Control 2. Instead, it was a largely boring side chapter that you can easily skim over.
