\nIf you have been wanting to play Alan Wake 2, but were put off by the game’s semi-regular, flashing jump scares, I have good news. <\/p>\n

\nAs part of its recent update, Remedy<\/a> has added a feature that will allow you to tone down those horror flashes (apparently a much-requested addition).
