There’s lots to tackle inDead Rising Deluxe Remaster, having you track down Cases to progress the main story and tackle additional Scoops that will lead to stranded Survivors or even dangerous Psychopaths. On top of that, you must focus on all these aspects in the span of three days (in-game-time), which can be stressful for newcomers.
Fortunately, all Survivors and Psychopaths show up in specific time windows, allowing you to track them down with relative ease and prepare ahead of time to find the best route and order you should save them. While still nerve-wracking, going in with a plan is much more manageable. It also helps that the Deluxe Remaster isn’t nearly as challenging as the original!
