A video has been released online comparing the town of Bride Falls from Alan Wake 2 with a similar settlement from the first part. And, judging by the review of the author of the video, the settlement has not changed much in structural terms.
Of course, visually, Bride Falls, where the main events of the dilogy unfold, has improved significantly. The graphics in Alan Wake 2, in general, have become as modern and realistic as possible, which both players and critics have repeatedly commented on. However, while walking around the city, you are guaranteed to catch flashbacks from 13 years ago, recognizing landscapes you have already seen before.
Alan Wake 2 is available on PC and current generation consoles.
