![]() ![]() ![]() The story, about a writer searching for his missing wife, is still creepy, and its world is populated with a cast of interesting characters. What?s especially frustrating about Alan Wake Remastered on the Switch is that it?s not hard to see why the game is so well-regarded. In theory, I guess, this could?ve added to the tension by making things hiding in the dark that much more mysterious, but in practice, it just looks even uglier. Seeing as Alan Wake is, rather famously, a game where your flashlight is your greatest weapon, you can probably guess a) how much of the game is spent in darkness, and b) what this means for the game?s performance on the Switch. Unfortunately, everything looks even worse when action switches to nighttime, when on top of the above issues, everything suddenly gets a lot darker and harder to see. Everything looks blurry and unfocused, the characters look like they stepped out of a game from the original Xbox, and the scenery looks flat and unfinished. While the cutscenes are mostly passable, the moment it switches back to the game, it looks atrocious. To be blunt, Alan Wake Remastered?s performance on the Switch is absolutely abysmal. Without knowing anything about the other versions of the game, I feel confident in saying that this was a bad way to experience the game for the first time. It wasn?t until it came out on the Switch, though, that the stars aligned and I finally got to play it. I remember hearing nothing but good things about it back when it came out on the Xbox 360, and the Remastered version was constantly tempting me. Up until now, I?d never played Alan Wake before.
