The first game is more of an interactive movie than anything. The kind of game you play on the easiest difficulty. But at least the story is engaging. Keeps you at the edge of your seat the entire time.

Alan Wake 2—on the other hand—not so much. The story is boring and dare I complain that it has too much gameplay. It feels more like a completely different franchise than a sequel. I have severe ADHD so I'm not a fan. They overcomplicated everything and removed the waypoint; I found myself constantly having to pause the game every 30 seconds or so to orient myself, and most of the time I forget what I was supposed to be doing in the first place.

People with normal brains will probably enjoy Al 2 way more than the original, but it's not for me.

You might enjoy Bramble: The Mountain King then. It's basically a walking simulator with a good (and spooky) atmosphere and a couple of simple puzzles sprinkled in.
