It's understandable that there's still some lingering disappointment that Remedy's new Alan Wake game isn't a fully-fledged sequel, but Alan Wake's American Nightmare is more than DLC. As a standalone spin-off, it's a new, short-form reinterpretation of the Alan Wake formula rather than an add-on for the existing game. Set inside an episode of the Twilight Zone-alike in-game TV show Night Springs, it's a five-hour action thriller that takes its inspiration from classic horror, science fiction, urban legends and pulp Americana. Think of it as the short story to the original Alan Wake's novel.
