I’m genuinely surprised Alan Wake holds up this well ten years later. The enemies’ shadow armor makes for a nice rhythm to combat. Burn the armor, shoot the enemy, and while you’re shooting, your light recharges so you can burn another enemy’s armor. But while you’re burning one enemy’s armor, another came too close for comfort.

Or use a flare as a distraction, then run for dear life. That works too.
