‘Alan Wake 2’: The Finnish studio continues to tell mind-blowing and intriguing “X-File”-ish narratives with the long-awaited sequel
Saga Anderson is a new hero who is pivotal in helping the title character in “Alan Wake 2.” Remedy Entertainment is at its best when the developer is unsettling. It’s a peculiar quality that permeates every pixel and line of code of the studio’s work. It’s in the creepy atmosphere of “Max Payne” and the dread players feel walking in the darkness of “Alan Wake.”
After learning more rules to the world, Saga manages to extricate Alan from the phantom realm called the Dark Place. That’s where he was trapped for 13 years along with the Dark Presence, an evil entity that has its own nefarious plans.Throughout the 20-plus-hour campaign, players will switch off between the two protagonists. They each have their own weapons, power-ups and worlds to explore.
Taking place in this phantom realm, the Dark Place has a quality of a dream where the architecture doesn’t always have to make sense and Alan can manipulate a level’s design by absorbing light into a lamp or using that same device to lend light to an area. Light and dark are important elements in “Alan Wake 2” as light helps fight enemies such as this one discovered by Saga Anderson. Alan’s combat is similar to Saga’s except danger is tougher to discern. Shadow figures sometimes ignore Alan or they attack him. Enemies can trickle toward players or flood the room creating chaos.
