The use of multimedia in Alan Wake 2 is so enthralling and impressive that I feel like it moves the video game medium as a whole forward. I would give this aspect 6 stars if I could..

Remedy made a series of playable big budget NyQuil dreams. It all serves a worthy, well-told narrative that earns the praise it has been getting. Best if you’ve played Control or AW1, but fine if you haven’t.

The gameplay is like, fine? Feels like the first one with some Resident Evil dashed on top. I dropped it to Story difficulty since I was really dragging with it. The adventure gamey stuff is better. Gameplay issues didn’t bring the game down too much. Still such a fun experience.
