[VersusEvil]

6hrs into Alan Wake 2. My thoughts so far;

+ Performance mode runs perfect.
+ Gameplay is much slower and weighted than the first, really feels more like a RE than Alan Wake which is great in this case.
+ Combat has been slowed down massively, you’re no longer fighting 5+ enemies at a time but more 1v1, 1v2 which feels fine as enemies feel far more dangerous this time around. Also unlike the first it’s not an endless barrage of enemy spawns.
+ Leans much more to the horror genre than Alan Wake ever did, game actually gives me chills playing and has made my jump more than once, if that’s a good thing or a bad (for you) who knows but it works for this game.
+ The case board is probably the most ingenious way I’ve seen a game let you keep track of the story.
+ Saga is an actual great dual protagonist in this.
