Alan Wake 2  Gameplay 

Alan Wake 2 is a scary video game where you can play as two different characters, Alan Wake and Saga Anderson. It's different from the first Alan Wake game because this time, it's all about surviving scary situations. You'll use guns and a flashlight to fight off enemies. The flashlight can be focused to make the enemies weaker, but you need to be careful because using it too much drains its power.

You also have to manage your limited batteries and bullets to stay alive. When you're playing as Saga, you can take a break in a special place called the "Mind Place" to think and solve mysteries. You can find important clues and even talk to other characters. There are also special pages of a manuscript that give hints about what's going to happen next in the story. It's a different and exciting game that mixes horror, action, and detective work.
