Remedy Entertainment's Alan Wake Remastered featured the classic, exciting story but was doomed by numerous gameplay issues.
Alan Wake 2 is a survival horror game
Remedy Entertainment was a well-known name in the gaming industry when they first started working on Alan Wake. In the late 2000s, the studios partnered with Microsoft Game Studios and began developing a game after taking inspiration from Stephen King's novels, Twin Peaks. Finally, in 2010, Alan Wake was released for Microsoft's Xbox 360 to generally positive reviews.
The game will forever be one of the best action adventure horror games of all time, but it did have some flaws. Most of the issues were fixed about 11 years later when players got a remastered version of the game, but they didn't remaster Alan Wake's American Nightmare DLC. With the sequel, Remedy specifically focused on these flaws to ensure that Alan Wake 2 turns out to be perfect.
Development of 2010's Alan Wake began in the mid-2000s, and the game was initially planned to be an open-world video game for "next-generation consoles and PCs." After partnering with Microsoft Game Studios, Remedy Entertainment struggled to combine the open world survival gameplay and story, so the open world approach was scrapped.
