    I enjoy the story, the combat is annoying though. When you get injured and can no longer see it’s silly. I liked the combat in the first one more.

      That’s wild. The combat in the first one felt mind numbing to me. Just constant padding with the same flashlight/gun combo over and over and over.

        I dropped the first game specifically because of the “combat.” I’d give Alan Wake II a try if it was a different mechanic.

          I haven’t finished it yet, but AW2 is a dramatic step up in the entire experience. They still “pay homage” to the original combat, but there aren’t nearly as many enemies. If you’re familiar with the Control story and like that universe, I’d say it’s a must play.
