It's perhaps the most unique element of AW2 that I've seen so far and is unlike anything else found in the original game. The Mind Place is essentially a physical manifestation of Saga's mind and allows her to link together clues and study the case that she's been putting together. The most notable of these features is known as the "Mind Place," which is a physical room that Saga can visit with the press of a button. Saga is a detective through and through and rather than simply having this come across in the story, Remedy has implemented a number of new features in Alan Wake 2 that allow her to slowly uncover the mystery she's pursuing. Previously, I don't think I would have liked the idea of Alan not being the only playable character in a potential sequel, but it's already apparent to me that Saga's involvement in this story is going to be engrossing in its own way. Saga immediately proved to be a compelling and charismatic character based on what I saw. While the titular Alan Wake is one of the main playable characters in Remedy's latest, he shares the spotlight with Saga, who is an FBI agent looking to uncover a mystery in the areas near Cauldron Lake. The best source of encouragement I found in this look at Alan Wake 2 involved the game's new co-protagonist, Saga Anderson.
