Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.3 601
The Epic Games Store makes this game needlessly convoluted to own for PC players and alarming for preservation. A GOG release would do wonders for people who want to own this game forever.
It is unforgivable that this game is in the prison of Epic store. I played first game (and American Nightmare, and Control) through GOG, and I want to play Alan Wake 2 through GOG, because the first game is one of my favourite games and I want to know how the story ends.
Locking it behind false exclusivity of Epic store is terrible. Bring it to GOG.
Now that the game has been profitable for Remedy... maybe it's about time for Epic to release this DRM-Free. I'll definitely be purchasing day one release.
I would like to play this game, but I dont have Epic Games Store account, nor will I ever.
Love that GOG has Alan Wake 1, Alan Wake 2 would be great addition, so me and others will be able to play this game too.
Why Alan Wake II Needs to Be on GOG and Why It’s the Best Modern Horror Game of the 2020s
Alan Wake II is not just a sequel—it’s a resurrection. Released over a decade after the cult classic original, Alan Wake II builds on its predecessor’s legacy while reinventing psychological horror for a new generation. It masterfully blends survival horror mechanics, cinematic storytelling, and intense atmosphere, making it one of the best horror games of the 2020s. And that’s exactly why it must be preserved and made available DRM-free on GOG.
What makes Alan Wake II stand out isn’t just its tight gameplay or gorgeous visuals—though both are top-tier—but its layered narrative. It’s a horror game that treats its players with intelligence. The dual protagonists, Alan Wake and newcomer Saga Anderson, bring different perspectives to the supernatural chaos, and Remedy’s signature storytelling, filled with meta elements, reality-bending twists, and eerie mystery, keeps players on edge from start to finish.
Graphically, it’s a showcase of what modern horror can look like. Using cutting-edge lighting, detailed environments, and haunting sound design, Alan Wake II creates an atmosphere of dread and awe that’s rarely matched. It’s not about cheap jump scares—it’s about psychological tension, deep immersion, and emotional impact.
Bringing Alan Wake II to GOG would mean giving horror fans the chance to own a DRM-free version of this modern masterpiece—ensuring it remains accessible and preserved as a landmark title of the decade. It’s a must for both horror enthusiasts and gamers who appreciate artful storytelling in gaming.
I was first charmed by the story of Alan Wake when I read a plot synopsis for the first game.
For various reasons I was certain that I'd be unable to 'ever' play it.
Trailers and similar videos had deeply invited me (and having enjoyed previous Remedy games had beckoned) ... Then I saw some gameplay, some wonderful scenes. But thinking I'd never play it, I read about its story. The effect was interesting: my imagination came up with a version that (it later transpired) once or twice surpassed the real game.
No, my mental version did not modify reality. But it was bookish enough, it had its own might. And it made me long to play it someday, after all.
So I did. A few years later I was able to play it, after all, and loved it.
Then longed for a sequel. Promises and dreams and drafts (some of them fancied). Hints here and there. Glimpses of Alan and his sequel in Quantum Break. Then came Control with all its connections to Wake. And, at last, Alan Wake II. I played it, with a thrill, on PS5. Delightful, for sure.
From the opening scenes, it did feel like a Return, in many dark ways; and the mysteries and tangled words, worlds, wonders ... why, they were quite the Muse. There were plenty of fun, eerie, nightmarish and happy chapters in Alan Wake II. Surely a favourite game for a fellow writer; one to 're-read'. Spiralling from this sequel, more enigmas haunt and promise once to bewitch future tales.
Alan Wake II deserves to be on PC platforms other than Epic. GOG has given us the first game (let's add American Nightmare while we're at it, please) - playing Part II here would be celebrated.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
