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?

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.

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.
