It is bigger, more open, much more focused on melee combat, and absolutely loves making you figure things out yourself.

Zone 4: Still an urban area, but a great central mechanic makes it much more fun.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story itself is great - it's much more easire to get into than Alan Wake (especially second game), but still has enough rabbit holes to dive into.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

I played at 1440p on the highest settings without ray tracing and had basically no problems.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance wise, the gameplay for me was smooth with no distinguishable stutters as many claim in the forums, easily reaching 120 fps with frame gen on.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think this adds to the difficulty, intrigue, replayability, and progression really nicely.
