The gameplay in Alan wake 2 is whatever and I also lowered the difficulty to get it out of the way, but the story, and how it unfolds is superbly done, it's so worth sticking to it. It's a truly well crafted piece of art. Creative, visually stricking with fantastic atmosphere, great narrative moments, and excellent acting. My only other critique were the puzzles (boring af) and the side content, (unnecessary padding but easily ignored).
