Alan Wake 2: Night Springs DLC reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and GeForce Now.
"Alan Wake 2: Night Springs is a compact collection of standalone stories that veer from entertainingly violent shootouts, to tense stretches of survival horror, before settling on and reveling in the utterly batshit craziness that makes Remedy’s multiverse of madness so keenly absorbing to explore. There’s admittedly not much new here from a gameplay perspective, and it feels like a bit of a tease to play as a version of Control’s heroine stripped of her special abilities in the second episode. Even so, the highs I felt during my short return to Alan Wake’s universe greatly outweighed the lows, and I’d gladly play through another collection of bitesized side stories if Remedy ever decided to bake another batch. Could there be more Night Springs in the future? Hope springs eternal."
