Alan Wake is a classic that i played back in the Xbox 360 days and loved ever since so when this remaster was announced it was a must buy for me!
Gameplay: The combat to Alan Wake is unique, To kill the enemies yopu must use your light/torch to remove their shield before you can shoot and kill the enemies. On easy difficulty this is obviously quite easy to do but on Nightmare difficulty it can take a little bit to fully remove the shields with just the normal torches but the heavy lanterns you can find and spotlights do plenty! I recently went back to this to platinum it and honestly the Nightmare difficulty isn't that much harder than normal.
If you're first playthrough is on Nightmare then you can get all the collectibles in one playthrough as there are manuscript pages that can only be collected on the nightmare Difficulty
During this game you can use pistols, Shotguns, Rifles, a Flare gun, Flash Bangs and flares as weapons that can help you drastically. Each chapter you are reset to find weapons again and are left with nothing so you don't need to be too conservative with your ammunition.
Lit area's like street lamps, or generators you can start to give you a light area are your safe area's and will instantly kll any enemies that are right next to you. These come up quite often as you're running and gunning and it is the same with checkpoints which don't change on the higher difficulties,
Story: The Story to Alan Wake is brilliant, if there's anything you're confused about or want more lore to the background once you've finished the game then it's worth googling! But pay attention to every cutscene, character and even the Radio/TV Shows, it's all connected!
Soundtrack: Although i don't remember their really being much of a soundtrack during the playthrough, there are some area's of the game where there is a cool tune on the tv shows ect, something i do like though is the audio cue for when an enemy as spawned so you know their coming but also ones for when you reach safe area's in light and when hitting checkpoints.
Before Alan Wake 2 is released later this month, Play this incredible game if you haven't already! It's honestly not hard to platinum, I watched a guide for each collectible whilst playing on Nightmare and other than some bits that can be difficult it's really not that much harder, more just run than gun when it can be helped.
This is a classic
