Encounter Basics
The official game description and PlayStation Blog describe several ways to approach danger. The CRTV helps locate nearby threats; cover and broken line of sight can help Simon evade them; melee weapons can attack or block, while firearms provide ranged attacks. Distractions can lure enemies away, and combat is not always an option.
