Guide and Walkthrough (PS5) by chris-williams

Your complete guide to Alan Wake Remastered on PS5. Follow this walkthrough for Episodes 1-6 and the DLCs, covering collectables and trophies.

Hey there! So you're diving into Alan Wake Remastered on PS5? Awesome choice! This guide is here to help you through every step, from Alan's initial struggles as a writer to the terrifying events in Bright Falls. We'll cover all six main episodes, plus the two DLC expansions, 'The Signal' and 'The Writer'.

Think of this as your friendly co-pilot. I'll be pointing out where to go, what to do, and importantly, why you should do it that way – especially when it comes to those tricky collectables. We'll also keep an eye on the trophies, so you can snag those achievements as you play.

The game throws you into the shoes of Alan Wake, a novelist dealing with some serious writer's block and a strained marriage. His agent, Barry, suggests a getaway to Bright Falls, a seemingly peaceful town in the Pacific Northwest. But as you'll quickly discover, things are far from peaceful. Dark creatures emerge, and Alan starts finding manuscript pages – pages he doesn't remember writing, detailing events that are actually happening. It's a real Stephen King meets Twin Peaks vibe, and Remedy Entertainment really nailed that signature style of theirs.

This isn't just a simple port; it's a remaster. You'll get a crisp 4K visual upgrade, improved character models, and it bundles in the two DLCs. They've even cleaned up some of the old product placement. Just a heads-up, you'll need to select the episodes from the 'Episode Select' option on the main menu.

We'll be playing through on the PlayStation 5, so all the button prompts and controls you see will be for that version. If you're curious about the wider Remedy Connected Universe, I've also got a walkthrough for Control, so feel free to check that out too!
