I played the first Alan Wake a few months ago when it was free on playstation Plus, and I really liked it. I don't really care for horror games, but I loved it due to the great storytelling.
Alan Wake II is different than Alan Wake I, and for me in a positive way. There are less battles in Alan Wake II; this game is even more focused on the story and puzzles. It being more story driven instead of combat doesn't take anything away from the gaming experience though. They used very refreshing gaming tactics to reveal the story.
The game looks stunning, and without spoiling too much, there are some very unexpectedly fun additions to the game that made me run upstairs to tell my boyfriend wtf just happened because it was just to unexpected for a game.
I recommend playing Alan Wake I first, or watching a decent recap of Alan Wake I to get a sense of the story, before playing Alan Wake II.
