Earlier today, we reported on Circana's monthly US game sales report, which has Hogwarts Legacy and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in a neck-in-neck battle for annual best-seller. But a quick glance over the charts for November reveals a conspicuous missing entry. Where's Alan Wake 2?
I’ve tried the remastered version on PS5, and it’s rough. The atmosphere is great, the combat not so much. Personally, I’ve just watched a plot summary on YouTube, there are many, but I prefer Lady of Lore’s.
Also, the game itself features a semi-conprehensive summary of the first game as well.
I tried to but 2 episodes in I couldn’t stand the combat and just watched a good supercut of all the cut scenes and dialog in the game. Gave me everything I wanted tbh
I found the enemies really frustrating to deal with.
With the little resources I’d have and how many of them would come at you at once, there were quite a few times I’d be dodging something and I’d have been flanked and killed. Or I would run out of resources quite quickly and have to bail on fighting the enemies and just run away while dodging and hope I’d get to the light in time.
Given I am so into the story (I really do love these games) I was feeling like I wanted the combat to be over so I could spend more time with the characters.
Is the original one worth playing first or is it fine to just watch a playthrough?

Thanks, I’ll check out some of those videos!
