Alan Wake 2 can be enjoyed on its own, but if you want the full experience and backstory, I'd recommend playing the first one.

Nope, you don’t have to! However, knowing what happened in the first game might make the second one more enjoyable.

Trust me, starting with the first game will make Alan Wake 2 even more thrilling! I played both and loved the continuity.

Playing the first Alan Wake will definitely give you a deeper understanding of the story and characters, but it's not absolutely necessary!
