Just take it at your own pace. Though I don't think you should wait for more remakes. The originals are great as they are

Just take it slow and play the next one whenever you can, no? There's no rush to catch up, the series has just barely become available in its entirety in English

You can use Elma's Shadowrunner (or your character's if you have the Commando class at a certain rank) behind enemies so they won't spot you for the duration of the aura effect. I assume this also turns off jumpscares
