If you played AW and enjoyed like I did. Yes, AW2 is worth it.

No, you do not need to play AW.

"Sam Lake, the creative director at Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that players will not need to have played the first Alan Wake game before jumping into Alan Wake 2. It can be played as a standalone game."

I am curious to see how much of the original game events actually carry over to this sequel without getting retconned somehow. They already altered Hartman's fate in the Control DLC.

That's why I'm very concerned about Alan Wake 2 script, I want a real sequel to the original Alan Wake, not Control nonsense forced into it.

There were aspects of of the first game I enjoyed & aspects I didn't.

But I still plan on playing II, just have to decide if I want the 59$ / 79$ one...

The gameplay didnt convinced me to get, graphics looks great, if you have the beefy hardware to run with all bells and whistles, that is. Anyway, I will see the reviews, and maybe get it someday, who knows.

I will probably just get the base version on PS5.

84 on Metacritic :) :) :) MY GUESS

There will most likely be lots of references to the first game and its characters in the sequel, so id say yeh , you should play the original or at least watch a playthrough of it

How are we supposed to know if it isn't even out yet without any demos and just small gameplay clips. If you want to know if it's worth it wait a while after it's published and watch reviews.

Good point.

But I would add that if you enjoy third person action / adventures, this is probably a safe bet.

Also a good narrative.
