Alan Wake 2 Review on Console | PS5 + Xbox Series S

you've been missing for 13 years 13 years it's been 13 years since the first Allen wake came out I still remember playing that game on my Xbox 360 now we get Allen wake 2 when I saw the minimum PC specs for Allen wake 2 I immediately thought about how the game's going to run on the Xbox series S I mean the bare minimum settings need at least the RTX 2060 well here's alen wake 2 running on the series s and it runs but how well does it run by the way thanks to remedy in epic games for the review codes for this game the PS5 and Xbox series X do get two graphic modes the usual quality mode targets 30 FPS resolution in the quality mode does output at 4K while the render resolution is a lower 1270p there's also a performance mode this runs at a rendering resolution of around 850p and then outputs it at 1440p the Target frame rate for performance mode is 60 FPS the series Series S doesn't have a performance mode you only get quality mode here the output resolution on the series s is 1440p while the rendering resolution seems to be close to 900p the Target frame rate is 30 FPS on the series s and you know what it's a pretty solid 30fps for the most part there really aren't any performance issues being a third person singleplayer game playing at 30 FPS is all right visually the graphics on the series s are also decent it does look like a nextg game I'm pretty impressed of course the PS5 and series X versions do look more crisp but the cheaper Series S isn't bad now there are certain missions like this New York City Mission where the resolution can be pretty blurry when you're outside I'm not going to talk about the performance much more than that I will have a second video coming later tonight that has a complete comparison of Allen Wick 2 on the series s versus series X versus versus PS5 I did play my initial playthrough on the PS5 which also has the benefit of the Dual sense controller so there are adaptive triggers and advanced heptic feedback for me that does add a little bit more immersion to this game by the way the PC version actually also supports the PS5 dual sense controller and all those features let's talk a bit about the game itself it's a decent game not a masterpiece but it does look really good the game play feels familiar to alen wake 1 Resident Evil and games of similar genre there's a fairly heavy emphasis on mystery and puzzles in fact finding your way around the game might be part of that mystery and that can get frustrating at times but just be sure to look at the map so you see where you're going the game also doesn't do that much handholding so there are areas and parts of the game you might get stuck and it does take you some time to figure out what to do I guess that's part of what Mak makes this a decent game and a good game and as I said visually the graphics are really good the character models are some of the best I've seen in a video game the way the characters behave their physical gestures it looks really good again those captures of how the characters interact it's really the best I've seen in a game I don't want to get too much into the story so not to spoil things for anyone but it's a decent story with lots of mystery lots of unknown and now you do get to play as a second character Sara Anderson you still play certain missions as Alan Wake and I think switching between the two adds a real good Dynamic to both the game play and the story now the pause menu here is pretty unique it's essentially a room called The Mind space for Sara and Writer's room for Alan for example at the Mind Place uh there is this case board for Sara where you essentially put together Clues and solve the different cases and Mysteries you actually have to manually put each clue on the board at the right spot now this is kind of interesting for a little bit part of the game in the beginning but after a while it just becomes a bit of a chore there's also some bugs I encountered I initially had no audio in opening Mission but just pausing it unpausing the game fixed that then at one point I kind of got stuck in the mind place I just couldn't get out I also had a bit of trouble putting certain Clues on the board I pretty much had to exit to the main menu to progress ress further the entire main story takes about 20 hours to complete and you can add another 4 to 5 hours if you want to do 100% of the game and complete all the optional stuff once you're done the main story and your main playthrough there isn't much to do at this time but there will be a new game plus mode coming next year that brings with it the new nightmare difficulty level and some alternative narratives to the story a photo mode is also planned but there's no release date for that yet and there's actually two expansions planned right now the first one called night Springs is coming in 2024 the second expansion called Lakehouse actually doesn't have a release date overall I would give this game 8 and 1/2 out of 10 it's a really good game but it's not really kind of the game of the year candidate for the rest of the video I have some more gam playay of Island weake 2 on the Xbox series s with the FPS counter shown you putting me in charge why now look Anderson you're a better Detective than I am you cracked cases that had the rest of us bath I don't want to slow you down are you thinking of retiring you know what happens to Cops who say this is their last case mhm real funny Anderson not a bad place to get murdered if Getting Back To Nature is your thing damn should have brought an umbrella I like the rain the only thing around here that feels like home you think the local law had the sense to put up a tarp together if they the Mur next coffee's on me want to swap Deputy Thornton I take it that's me at your service the pay phone was ringing somehow I knew the call was for me hello Al wake yes do you know who I am no who is this we'll get to that later there are spies all over Shadows a sense of deja vu washed over me had I had this conversation before alen listen to me carefully Cera Street Station the subway you need to go there I'll call you again later make sure to pick up do I know you I I know you from somewhere you've just forgotten again we're in together don't worry
