Combat in Alan Wake 2 will be different than what players were used to with the first game.
This is according to the game’s principal narrative designer Molly Maloney, who told GamesRadar the game’s combat supports the „horror aspect,“ making it more „impactful, strategic, and desperate.“
Alan Wake 2 is the first survival horror game from Remedy Entertainment, and the gameplay will feature more variation from the first game.
In the demo shown during the Summer Game Fest 2023 showcase, FBI Agent Saga Anderson carries both a flashlight and a firearm, but unlike the first Alan Wake, the camera is closer to her shoulder.
You probably noticed in the demonstration video that gameplay is a bit slowed down, and this is intentional to focus on more details, tell a horror story, and add suspense so that when combat does occur, it’s more impactful.
