Alan Wake II is a survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. A sequel to Alan Wake, the story follows best-selling thriller novelist Alan Wake, who has been trapped in an alternate dimension for 13 years, as he attempts to escape by writing a horror story involving an FBI agent named Saga Anderson. The game will be released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 October 2023.
Compared to the first Alan Wake game, which was an action adventure game with horror themes, Alan Wake II is a survival horror game played from a third-person perspective. Players play as Alan Wake or Saga Anderson in two separate single-player stories, which can be played in any order the player chooses; although the opening sequence and ending sequence of the game can only be played as Saga and as Alan, respectively. Wake and Anderson traverse environments and fight enemies using various firearms and a flashlight, the latter of which can be "focused" to render enemies vulnerable to firearm attacks. Focusing the flashlight drains its battery, and players need to strategically use a limited amount of batteries and ammunition in order to survive. When enemies are close, Alan or Saga can perform a dodge maneuver.
Alan Wake II incorporates detective elements: when playing as Saga, players can always pause the gameplay to access an enemy-free space dubbed the "Mind Place". Described by Remedy as a "3D menu", the Mind Place is a visual representation of Saga's thoughts. In the Mind Place, players manage a pin board in which they can connect clues to piece together the main mystery, as well as profile characters to gather clues. A returning element from Alan Wake is manuscript pages: players find pages of a manuscript that foreshadow upcoming events in the story. Unlike the previous game, Alan Wake II features a dialogue tree system.

Luke when games specifically tell how to do quests: i don't like because it's very restrictive
Luke when games don't hold your hands: i don't like because i don't know what to do

Alan wake 2 is supposed to be a sequel to Alan wake not control, maybe that’s why the gameplay is more similar to Alan wake and not control
54 |
But this is not control. It’s not even the same type of game. This is a survival horror. You don’t play a survival horror like you play control… its like complaining about the combat in resident remake. Also it seems like you are alone on that one haha. Respect

The first Alan wake was the closest thing to playing a Stephen king novel I had ever done.

I honestly think that by comparing the GAMEPLAY between Control and AW2, you are doing the game a disservice, since one is focused on quick combat and the other on survival horror combat... I think what they were going for is the Resident Evil combat formula and I think they nailed it :)

Whether the game clicks with you or not, it took a lot of ballz to make a sequel for a developmentally expensive first entry. Looking forward to it.

I never had a problem with the Mind Place. They prompt you to access it every time you receive new evidence. If anything, the Mind Place mechanic makes a story that may be confusing to some easier to follow. It’s just a neat little way of helping the player along with following the story.

Played around 8 hours now, it is already one of the most interesting experiences I've gone through so far!

i dont think its a Remedy didnt learn from Control but Control is a 3rd person action-adventure and Alan Wake 2 is a 3rd person survival horror. Stealth would be nice but seems like its got a lot of RE influence and those games largely play the same as what im seeing. Re4 remake introduced really light stealth but RE2 remake and basically all others have none and you fight enemies in small rooms, hallways and pretty much continue forward until you are ambushed with another combat encounter. I also think Control is a power fantasy, you kinda need to keep increasing the combat as things are going because the character is getting literal superhero powers.

I think you are missing the real reason for the case board. It was to allow those who never played first game and Control to be able to follow along the story. It filled in the bits and pieces that Remedy fans already knew going in. And because the story is coming at you from so many different angles this allowed players, especially new ones, to keep it all in your own head.

Complaining about the light and shoot flow is so strange to me, because this is fundamentally what Alan Wake is. And it’s not far off from most shooters, the light mechanic is taking down an enemy’s shield in any other game. You could simply any shooter game as “walk A to B and shoot” but that would be disingenuous.

Luke did you play the first Alan wake? the way you described the combat doesn't do justice to how it actually plays. because the game is attempting to be horror focused it's taking many liberties from resident evil. resident evil is often slow and methodical shooting and avoiding enemies. even if it's only a couple you take it slow and careful because resources are scarce and enemies hit hard. Alan wake 2 has way fewer enemies than the original and way fewer encounters

I love your honest reviews, but this seemed more harsh than normal.

My question is, why does Alan Wake look like Bradley Cooper cosplaying as Keanu Reeves as John Wick? Did either man receive compensation for their likeness? The similarities are uncanny
65 |
The fact that you criticize different weapons that “all fire projectile” makes no sense to me; they’re made to feel like real weapons what do you expect? It’s kinda the same like it is in Uncharted where u always use weapons that fire projectile. It’s a direction they choose for their game. In this regards i think they nudged toward realism instead of going crazy like they did with control shooting. I feel like it also reinforces the tension in the encounters.

Excited to get the game tomorrow. Going through the first one now for the first time ever before I hit the dlc in control that's connected to Alan Wake.

After few months he will make a video again titled I tried Alan Wake 2 again and I was wrong it's amazing.

Combat was an afterthought and for this game I don't mind that. This is a story driven game. You either like it or move on to other games. This is a very different game from Control. I don't think it's fair to say they learned nothing. I'm sure if and when Control 2 comes around, the combat will be great.
21 |
I'm a few hours into the game, and I've come to the conclusion this game just isn't for me. I just do not give a shit about a single thing happening here story-wise, and the gameplay is very rote. I'll just have to wait until Control 2 to get my fix of Remedy goodness

Despite a lot of craziness and fun, I have been unable to finish Alan Wake 2 thanks to a Hard Lock bug which is preventing me from finishing the game at all. Hopefully, one day soon, we'll get a patch that will let me finish it, but until then I'm just waiting on the fix... In addition, broken objectives and a PC port that wouldn't even boot until MSI Afterburner had all processes ended contribute to a package deal that makes it really hard to recommend to you. Play it safe, and wait to spend your hard earned money until they've updated it.
