Alan Wake 2 patch 3 – over 200 changes include progression blocker fixes
Alan Wake 2 launched last Friday, and Remedy Entertainment is already on the ball, releasing the third patch for the game in less than a week.
Alan Wake 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the 2010 cult classic Alan Wake. And considering how long it's taken Remedy Entertainment to get this sequel out the door, it's only natural that the team there will want it to be in the best state it can be. And while the game has been extremely well received so far garnering a 4/5 in our Alan Wake 2 review which said "Alan Wake 2 is the survival horror sequel we've all been waiting for, excelling on scares, tension and intelligent storytelling despite a handful of mechanical drawbacks."
While the game is sitting at a respectable 89 on OpenCritic, most of the criticism towards it has been focused on bugs and mechanical issues, so thankfully Remedy is on the case, with this latest patch targeting over 200 issues.
