That Awesome Alan Wake 2 Musical Level

Alan Wake 2 is a very good game. Probably one of the best to come out of 2023, which is saying something considering all the other amazing games we got this year. So the best part of Alan Wake 2 isn’t just great, it’s on a whole different level compared to most stuff that happened in the last 12 months. And picking the best part is easy: the trippy musical level featuring live-action segments and intense combat.

I vividly remember playing the “Herald of Darkness” musical sequence while my wife watched. At one point she asked, “What’s happening?” I didn’t have an answer and just replied: “No idea, but I love it so much.” And I do. I’m so happy that others fell in love with this musical moment and even more happy that it ended up at The Game Awards, providing one of the few good reasons to watch this year’s terrible show.

You can watch the whole thing on YouTube now via an official upload from Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy, and it’s awesome. But if you get a chance to play Alan Wake 2, do it. Experience this moment in-game in a dark room with headphones on and enjoy one of the coolest moments in any video in 2023.
