Prime members can play Alan Wake 2 on Amazon Luna for free this month, with other Luna and Epic Store Prime game offerings also available.
You can pick up either the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X versions for $40, saving you $20 off the original price of $60. This version includes the base game, all the post-launch story DLC expansions, and a selection of bonus digital content. Alan Wake 2 was the sequel over 10 years in the making. When it finally released in 2023, it was one of the year's best games, earning a coveted 10 out of 10 from GameSpot's Mark Delaney in his review.
Survival horror is one of gaming's most nebulous genres. Traditionally defined by limited resources, oppressive tension, and a fight for survival against terrifying odds, the genre has evolved far beyond its roots. Modern survival horror often bleeds into psychological thrillers, sci-fi adventures, and even open-world exploration. What ties it all together is a constant sense of dread and vulnerability, where victory feels hard-earned and fleeting. From cinematic blockbusters to minimalist indies, survival horror has proven to be one of the most fascinating corners of gaming.
Remedy Entertainment is one of the few game studios that's seemingly been doing well in an industry where its competition is downsizing and console makers are continually raising hardware prices. The studio turned 30 on August 18th, and Humble is celebrating with a 10-item bundle for $27 ($211 off the full MSRP). To put the price into perspective, Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, one of the included games, currently retails for $69.99 in the Epic Games Store.
