Mercifully, these sections are brief and don’t drag the otherwise stellar pacing down. The passage of time hasn’t been very kind to them. The enjoyable third-person gunplay is complemented by a couple of very simple puzzles, and some driving sections that didn’t control very well even in 2010.
This does help keep the tension high, as you never become overpowered, but it can be irksome to lose all your best tools after purposefully holding onto them. Often you’ll finish a section, watch a cutscene and then begin the next segment with all your ammo and equipment taken away. One aspect that can occasionally cause irritation is how regularly the game strips you of all your items. The main campaign, however, runs a breezy eight hours in length, so there’s never really time for repetition to set in. Although, in the final third part of the game, there are a few combat sections that run a tad long. Thankfully, well-placed checkpoints keep the game from ever becoming too frustrating. Enemies are aggressive and love spawning behind you for added fright factor. It’s definitely not a brutally difficult game, but you’ll need to keep your wits about you. Speaking of challenging combat sections, even on normal, Alan Wake Remastered puts up a fight. Choosing the right moment to burn a flare or unpin a powerful flashbang is essential in order to escape some of the game’s more bruising encounters. You also make use of additional items like flares and flashbangs which add some much-needed versatility to your arsenal. Halting a hulking enemy in their tracks with a powerful blast of light, popping off a few headshots, and watching your foe evaporate into a shower of shining particles never gets old. This was an innovative combat system back in 2010, and even in 2021, it remains extremely satisfying. In essence, you shine your torch to weaken an enemy’s defenses enough to pump them full of lead. Using a one-two combination of your gun and flashlight, you must stop the darkness that has infected the citizens of the remote mountain town of Bright Falls, Washington.
