Alan Wake 2 PC System Requirements Confirmed

The Oh Deer Alan Wake thermos has been sought after by franchise fans, but it has proven difficult to secure one. It was briefly restocked by iam8bit, but not many have managed to get one for themselves, as they have sold out in seconds.

Wait, it's not a loop, it's what now?

Remedy Entertainment has rolled out a major new Alan Wake 2 update across all platforms, including over 200 improvements and fixes.

The Manuscript Pages in Alan Wake 2 allow you to look deeper into the larger story happening in the game. These pages are scattered throughout the narrative, but some are well-hidden and hard to find in Watery.

Alan Wake 2 is a tale about the outrageous horror story Alan is writing, and much of it comes to life in Bright Falls because of the Dark Place. There are Manuscript Pages that you can find that detail significant parts of the story, and several appear in Bright Falls.

The Cult Stashes you find in Alan Wake 2 can be extremely helpful in keeping your supplies high throughout the course of your playthrough. There are several you can find while exploring Bright Falls.

Scratch, the shadow creature spreading corruption and chaos in , is the final boss you have to beat toward the end of this intense survival horror game. Although there is another Chapter to the story after this fight, you won't have another chance to foil the schemes of this horrifying entity. This short encounter will test your ability to multitask quickly as you try to keep an artifact called the Clicker out of Scratch's hands.

There are two shotguns available to players of , which they can find at different points in the story. Saga can use one, and one can be used by Alan later in the story, although both will have little ammo at first. However, both of the shotguns will be very useful for the enemies the characters encounter and can allow them to escape the Dark Presence.

If you're a fan of games such as Alan Wake, Control, and Quantum Break, you'll know that developer Remedy Entertainment has some pretty far-reaching narrative plans to tie all of its work into the same universe. Quantum Break is the exception, as its status as an Xbox exclusive and semi TV series has made it difficult for Remedy to merge it with the overall narrative, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a few easter eggs of its own.

Epic Games Publishing and Remedy Entertainment's exceptional survival horror game, , is a phenomenal game that features some of the best vocal acting in any recently released title. Managing to avoid the lure of hiring widely known celebrities to fill out its roster of voices, does still feature a cast comprised of a number of figures with easily recognizable voices — many of which players will quite possibly be able to identify from their notable roles in the worlds of film, theater, and television, and, in a few select cases, even from other popular video games.

Instead of finding Manuscript Fragments for upgrades, the eponymous character will need to find Words of Power in Alan Wake 2. These Words of Power locations allow Alan to upgrade himself in multiple different special character trees. Each upgrade increases his strength in a different way — you can deal more damage, enhance your health, or make your weapons more powerful. It all depends on those Words of Power.

A good game over screen doesn’t just serve as a notice that you need to start over. In the survival horror genre, a well-crafted, properly terrifying game over screen should serve as a deterrent, ensuring you stay alive the next time to avoid seeing the bloody words ‘Game Over’ appear on your screen. And sometimes, like in Alan Wake 2, they could be so terrifying you never want to die again.
