A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I keep hearing AW2 is great, but... tbh I didn't much care for the first AW (and haven't played the dlc/expansion?). Kinda found the combat really annoying to deal with, but I was interested in the story. Does the sequel do combat any differently?
I know what you mean about AW1, the sequel is different mechanically and much more refined.
You still make use of the flashlight, but now it’s a bit more developed and for the most part it feels like a modern horror game.
You get a lot of tense situations where people are running at you and you have to hold them off with the flashlight and weapons.
I can’t really put the differences in to words, but it is just much better imo.
welp, sounds like I have to check it out at some point. Thanks!
I'll check some gameplay video and wait for discounts & it releasing from epic-jail
AW2 is classic survival horror combat. Limited resources and such.
I don't like survival horror gameplay to begin with, but even setting that aside, I really think it clashes with the story at times. It's better in Saga's sections, at least.
