Set partially in New York and also in a mysterious “dark nightmare place,” Alan Wake 2 ventures beyond the original by introducing a new character, Saga—an FBI agent who appears to be as pivotal to the game as Alan himself. With an atmospheric narrative, the game’s story arcs involve bouncing between these two characters, as well as transitioning between two vastly contrasting worlds. If you found the first installment tense, brace yourself; this sequel aims to change the color of your pants, taking the horror elements up several notches.
Graphics look absolutely stunning. From uncanny valley-shattering facial details to an environment that feels as alive as it is foreboding, the visual aspect of Alan Wake 2 has been meticulously crafted.
Even more captivating is the game’s sound design. If you’ve got a good pair of headphones, the audio promises to be as eerie as it is engaging—heightening the tension and getting you feeling nice and unsettled. The game also has familiar mechanics from games like Resident Evil 4, offering a third-person over-the-shoulder experience while maintaining elements familiar to fans of the original Alan Wake.
For a comprehensive look at all this and more, don’t miss our full video coverage. Whether you’re a veteran Alan Wake fan or new to the series, Alan Wake 2 looks set to offer an immersive experience that will keep your pulse racing.
