You want Alan Wake 2 to go out with a bang, not a whimper.
But for me at least, The Lake House often simply fizzled rather than igniting something deeper.
Kiran herself is a very affable presence.
If only it relied more on these puzzles as the expansion went on.
To its credit, there is a lot to poke around in inside the Lake House.
What is going on here, though, is kinda absolutely fascinating to me.
Admittedly, the paintings don’t quite do it for me.
Alan Wake 2 accessibility options
Various difficulty levels.
Multiple subtitles and font sizes options.
Seperate volume sliders for music, sound effects and dialogue.
On/off toggle for motion blur, film grain and lens distortion.
Adjustable key and controller bindings.
Controller and mouse aim assist.
Options to tone down audio and visual intensity of horror flashes.
Why does it not go harder on all this stuff to make it feel more distinct?
