The Good: Splitter
Another awesome baddie introduced in American Nightmare, the Splitter possesses the nifty ability to split into smaller versions of itself when light is shown on it. This makes the Splitter an especially intriguing addition to Wake’s rogue gallery, as he tends to arrive alongside groups of Taken. If you’re not careful, one Splitter can end up doubling the number of enemies in any given encounter.
The Bad: Grenadier
American Nightmare tried to make up for our not getting an Alan Wake 2, and in the process it stumbled a few times. One such stumble came in the form of the Grenadier. This bulky, grenade-tossing Taken prefers hanging out where Wake’s unlikely to notice him. I’ve never been terribly fond of enemies who make a habit out of running from me, and since that makes up half of the Grenadier’s skillset, he gets a mention.
