I've tried playing through AW2 as it was a GOTY contender, but I just... don't like horror games. I managed to get a bit further by lowering the difficulty, but I still wasn't liking the spoopy stuff.
I'll manage one day...
Give Control a shot, it's one of my favourites games for ages due its story and whilst it's creepy, it's not really horror exactly and it is much more action oriented. I don't recall any jump scares either, though it has been a while.
Last time I had free time and was looking for a new game someone told me "Get Control. Just get it. Trust me."
My trust was not misplaced. It's one of the best games I've ever played.
Edit: Later I tried AW1 and didn't really care for it much (mostly because i sucked really bad at it) until I started using "all guns" cheats so I could play it like a horror/action. Then I enjoyed it.
I recall having occasional one-frame flashes of the antagonist whenever they were being mentioned
Control shares the same universe and is more actiony, from what I've heard. It might be worth checking out if you haven't already.
