Welcome! This column is part of a series in which members of the Tom's Guide staff share what they're playing and enjoying right now, with the goal of helping you find great games that you might want to play next. Be sure to check out our last entry, where we talked about Metro Exodus and why this post-apocalyptic shooter shouldn’t be ignored.
I can’t say no to a good horror video game, so when I got my hands on Alan Wake 2 earlier this year, it quickly became one of my favorites. That snowballed into a hyperfixation, resulting in me getting an AW2 t-shirt and a tattoo. This should give you a pretty clear image of how excited I was at the prospect of getting two DLCs: Night Springs and Lake House. Night Springs got its first trailer and a next-day release date at Summer Games Fest last weekend, and the following afternoon, I updated the game on my PS5 and strapped in for what I hoped would be a crazy adventure. And I was not disappointed.
