  • Alan Wake ending is a strange one. It's cryptic and hard to explain with a focus on emotion and narrative over silly little things like logic and reason. However, while it’s not entirely clear what's actually happening, there is an explanation for the finale and what it all means. Which we can work through now.
    It should go without saying, of course: major spoilers ahead! We’ll be discussing the Alan Wake ending.

    Thank you , excellent and succinct summary. I never could figure out what the heck happened.
    Now that I started AW2, I needed SOME framework to go off of.
    Thanks again, cheers!

    Pretty cool that the “Control” DLC explains in scientific detail that Cauldron Lake is one of numerous “Thresholds” in the world and the Darkness is just an inter-dimensional being, like The Bureau. Dig it 😎👍🏻

    Most definitely in my top 25 favorite games of all time! The only thing, holding it back from being perfect was the clunky controls, and the inability to remap buttons. I would have paid an extra $10 to switch the run and roadside flare buttons. Other than that the atmosphere is perfect, the combat is awesome (albeit repetitive), and the story was outstanding.

    Bro I played this game and I have to say I did enjoyed it because of the cool mechanics and weapons,
    My hopes of understanding the game better were trashed after I saw the gaddam credits, and left me completely speechless, in a bad way.
    I don’t know if playing Alan wake 2 will explain me wtf happened, or should I pick up all the manuscripts again, but that ending was very disappointing to be honest.

    I think the only thing wrong here is that the lake itself brings creative works to life rather than the darkness, as the darkness simply uses creative artists as puppets to abuse the lakes power to write itself into reality so it can spread

    Reason why, no young sheriff in the ending and shes old.
    Not sure why Alice was in knickers, but might be because wet jeans are hard to remove and removed them before the car was covered by water.

    I didn't like the game mechanics. Even on PS5! I couldn't enjoy the story because of that. I never played it till the very end because I got fed up with the toy gun pop pop pop over and over and over. It fell short in gameplay and became very infuriating after a while
