TechRadar Verdict

Alan Wake 2 stands out as a champion among modern survival horror games.

Its beautifully woven story encompasses everything you could want from a blockbuster horror title.

This sequel was set up wonderfully by its predecessor which provided a fantastic premise and location.

Unfortunately, there was one instance which stopped me in my tracks.

For those playing with controllers, there’s aim assist, single tap walk, and quick turn.

However, there are options if you want to make it easier or harder.
