10 Scariest Video Game DLCs Ever

10. Alan Wake - The Signal

Leading on immediately from the ending of the main game, The Signal offers a truly gripping additional chapter to this psychological masterpiece. For those who loved the game proper, this DLC quickly became known as a must-play - with one journalist even going on to say that really it was so fitting and essential that it should have comprised part of the main game itself, that without the DLC the game feels incomplete.

Delving deeper into the fractured mind of novelist Wake, we traverse the Dark Place being guided by friends and hampered by a range of foes. Where before there were complaints of boring, repetitive combat, The Signal attempted to fix this.

More enemies appear to present more of a challenge, aiming to evoke more of a fight or flight response, and the new mechanic of Wake’s words appearing and triggering drops or threats adds a unique new dimension.

It can (and probably should) be completed in one sitting, this concise approach and the revamped mechanics putting this DLC among the ranks of some of the best out there.
