Alan Wake 2 is an incredibly innovative game that really tries to push the boundaries of what a modern survival horror game can be. Rather than just deliver another action-thriller experience or rely too heavily on its new Resident Evil-inspired combat, Alan Wake 2 goes out of its way to introduce the genre to a slew of unique concepts and themes, from time loops and multiple protagonists with separate yet interweaving stories to classic horror tropes like murder cults being turned on their head.
