As fans eagerly await a potential sequel to 2010's Alan Wake, developer Remedy has released Alan Wake Remastered, which brings Bright Falls back to life with much improved graphics, character models, and gameplay. Whether it's your first time stepping into the dark or you're a veteran of the battle against the Taken, here are some tips to give you the upper hand when you start Alan Wake Remastered.
Use environment
It can be tempting to face every encounter with darkness using your flashlight to burn it out, but if you've run out of batteries and don't have flare ammo, you won't be able to afford it. time to leave it. recharge when surrounded by Taken. Instead, explore the battlefield and look for opportunities in the combat environment. There will often be a spotlight or generator that you can activate for a huge advantage, especially against groups of enemies. You can identify these environmental weapons by looking for a glowing green light.
Keep your head on a pivot
It's very rare that you'll only be dealing with one or two grapples at a time, but instead the game likes to throw waves of enemies at you from all directions. At certain points in the game, the music will swell to a terrifying crescendo, but the enemies won't come abreast. Instead, they are completely silent and give no indication of which direction they are coming from.
For many encounters, you'll have a quick cutscene that reveals an opponent (or a group of opponents) to you, and your camera will automatically focus on them afterwards. While handy for giving you cues, AWR will often throw enemies to the sides or behind you while you focus on the main threat. Always keep that camera moving when you sense danger and a ready finger on your dodge button, which will save your life on so many occasions.

In AWR, all of your weapons and ammo will be stripped from you at the start of each episode.
