I keep hearing AW2 is great, but… tbh I didn’t much care for the first AW (and haven’t played the dlc/expansion?). Kinda found the combat really annoying to deal with, but I was interested in the story. Does the sequel do combat any differently?
AW2 is classic survival horror combat. Limited resources and such.
I don’t like survival horror gameplay to begin with, but even setting that aside, I really think it clashes with the story at times. It’s better in Saga’s sections, at least.

Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
I started with Alan Wake 2, then went back to Control.
Both really great, unique games, and Remedy are now up there with FromSoftware for my most anticipated games.
Control was absolutely great, but they really hit another level with AW2 imo.

I know what you mean about AW1, the sequel is different mechanically and much more refined.
You still make use of the flashlight, but now it’s a bit more developed and for the most part it feels like a modern horror game.
You get a lot of tense situations where people are running at you and you have to hold them off with the flashlight and weapons.
I can’t really put the differences in to words, but it is just much better imo.
welp, sounds like I have to check it out at some point. Thanks!
I’ll check some gameplay video and wait for discounts & it releasing from epic-jail
