With the release of Alan Wake 2, many of us are eager to dive back into the eerie world of Bright Falls. This time, we're not just following Alan's adventures but also stepping into the shoes of the FBI agent, Saga Anderson. As someone who enjoys exploring every nook and cranny of the game, I was curious about the gameplay length and what it takes to achieve 100% completion in Alan Wake 2.
Story Length:
If you're focused on completing the primary story objectives, Alan Wake 2 will take you approximately 18 to 20 hours. It's worth noting that the game features two playable protagonists, Alan and Saga, each with their own storyline. Saga's arc takes you through familiar locations like Bright Falls and Cauldron Lake, involving evidence collection, clue deciphering, and profiling. Meanwhile, Alan's arc revolves around escaping the Dark Place, a neo-noir New York City-esque setting. The two arcs also intertwine, adding depth to the narrative.
100% Completion Length:
For completionists who want to unearth every secret and solve every puzzle, expect to invest around 25 to 30 hours in Alan Wake 2. The game is filled with collectibles and puzzles unique to each character. Saga, for instance, searches for Alex Casey Lunchboxes (yielding weapon upgrades), solves Cult Stashes (complete with math puzzles), places dolls based on Nursery Rhymes, and explores Manuscript Pages integral to the story. Alan, on the other hand, engages in Echoes by merging light and shadow orbs and uncovers Words of Power, which grant perk points by shining his flashlight on glyph clues.
Full Chapter List:
Alan Wake 2 offers a dynamic gaming experience by allowing you to switch between Saga and Alan at certain points in the story. This enables you to experience both characters' chapters and explore the narrative in a non-linear fashion. The game kicks off with a prologue and is further divided into Return and Initiation chapters, each offering a unique gameplay experience.
So, whether you're looking for a thrilling 20-hour journey or aiming for that elusive 100% completion, Alan Wake 2 has something for every type of player. Enjoy unraveling the mysteries of Bright Falls and the Dark Place with this new installment in the series!
