Alan Wake 2 - Which Difficulty to Choose

Not sure which difficulty level to choose in Alan Wake 2? Let's simplify it.

Alan Wake 2 is more about survival horror than action-adventure. It's scarier and more challenging. But, you can pick how hard you want it to be. Here's what each difficulty level means:

Difficulty Levels in Alan Wake 2:

Story:

• Combat is easy.
• More about solving mysteries and looking around.

Normal (Default):

• Combat is tougher.
• You have to be smart with your items and resources to stay alive.

Hard:

• You can only play this after finishing the game once (New Game Plus).

Most people will be okay with "Normal". No matter what you pick, the game doesn't give or take away any rewards. So, pick what feels right for you at the start.

Remember, the "Nightmare" level will be added after the game is first released.
