Alan Wake 2 didn't make it to development without a significant amount of content being cut and changed, even if it may have been for the better.
What skill to get first in management?
Which skill to prioritize first often depends on the abilities you've unlocked. Your initial focus should be on unlocking the Launch ability, as it will be one of the most used skills in the game. You can unlock Launch by completing the Unknown Caller mission, which is the second main mission.
To get the most out of this ability, consider investing in the Energy skill as it complements Launch and ensures you have enough energy to use effectively.

Health skills under control
If you have an extra skill point, consider buying the first skill in the Health section. Your starting health is pretty low, and this skill provides a 10% health boost for just one skill point. however, avoid prioritizing health over energy or startup. Both max health and health regeneration can be improved with personal mods, making skill investment in these areas less important early on. Focus on launch and energy, as the launch ability is very effective at destroying enemy armor and health.
