Alan Wake 2 Not Including One Menu Feature Seems Egregious

Alan Wake 2 is masterful in its presentation. The sequel’s visuals are terrific from a fidelity standpoint alone, but where they become truly unique is in the blur of mixed media and how surreal environments can be while interacting with the Dark Presence. Much of the sequel delineates itself from the original and, even though Alan Wake 2 is only marginally more thrilling than its predecessor, there is a great deal of similarity between them that is a boon for fans of the first game. The sequel is also not framed like an episodic thriller anymore, but one feature deserved to return in some form.
