Everything else is great but the skill system is a huge step down from Original Sin 2 in my opinion
This is easily the densest game I've ever played. The amount of content per area is staggering.
Overall good game if a bit overrated; narrative and acting are the strong points here but actual gameplay is nothing impressive imo.
+ I've played Alan Wake and Control and the story in Alan Wake II is more than good enough to make me interested in another sequel.
+ Combat is solid enough and feels good.
+ Impressive acting/voice acting and facial expressions.
- I particularly don't like the way they introduced exploration in the game, it doesn't feel important at all and can be almost completely ignored.
- Looking for lunchboxes and nursery rhymes is boring, feels like they were put there just to make the game seem longer.
- Graphics are great but performance is all over the place. I can run the game fine on pc but fps varies wildly from 40 to 90 depending on the scene. Lowering settings barely makes any difference on fps unless you tank the graphics all the way down with agressive upscaling. Performance is at it's worst in forest environments, which are a huge part of the campaign.
- The constant cheap jump scares are so lame and there are so many of them ALL THE TIME... I really don't understand why they did that. There are so many jump scares that after a few hours they don't even work anymore, I literally don't even blink when screaming faces show up on screen at this point.
+ By the time you finish Alan Wake II you will be immune to jump scares. Seriously.
