Alan Wake 2 is here, and as you would expect from a survival horror game, it throws some fairly tough challenges at you, including a number of boss fights. Warning: This article contains some early-game SPOILERS for Alan Wake 2. The first of these bosses you’ll face is former FBI agent Robert Nightingale. I say former FBI agent, because Nightingale has been murdered and come back to life as a violent, shambling (and very naked) “Taken.” Nightingale is actually one of the more difficult bosses in the game, particularly since he’s one of the first serious combat challenges you face, […]
