Remedy Entertainment has a lot of upcoming projects on its plate, with one of the most mysterious of the bunch being “Vanguard,” a Tencent-funded project originally envisioned as a free-to-play co-op title. Well, following the success of Alan Wake 2, it seems like Remedy is rethinking some of their upcoming slate. While Vanguard hasn’t been canceled, it has been rebooted – it will now be a paid premium title and will be referred to by the new codename “Kestrel.” Apparently, this re-envisioned version of the project will “will lean more into Remedy’s core strengths,” which, to me at least, means […]

Warning: This article contains end-game SPOILERS for Alan Wake 2. Beware! Alan Wake 2’s final major boss battle comes in the 7th chapter of Saga Anderson’s campaign, but before you get to that, you’ll have to take on one the most grueling combat challenge in the game. This is easiest the hardest part of the game, but with some of our tips, you’ll be able to survive (with a few curse […]

I put off writing this Alan Wake 2 review because I was scared. Scared that I’d look into myself and find I wasn’t up to the task, that I lacked the right words, with nothing to offer but emptiness and failure. It’s not at all uncommon, though, for wri...
Alan Wake 2 is here, and as you would expect from a survival horror game, it throws some fairly tough challenges at you, including a number of boss fights. Warning: This article contains some early-game SPOILERS for Alan Wake 2. The first of these bosses you’ll face is former FBI agent Robert Nightingale. I say former FBI agent, because Nightingale has been murdered and come back to life as a violent, shambling (and very naked) “Taken.” Nightingale is actually one of the more difficult bosses in the game, particularly since he’s one of the first serious combat challenges you face, […]
Alan Wake 2 is here, and as you would expect from a survival horror game, particularly one developed by the twisted minds at Remedy Entertainment, the game is packed with secrets to uncover for those willing to stray a bit off the beaten path.

While Alan Wake 2 gives its two heroes a basic pistol by default, there are a number of more useful weapons that can be optionally acquired, although all of them require a bit of puzzle-solving to get your hands on. Alan Wake himself doesn’t have quite the same […]
