I am likely in the minority but I found the first game quite boring.
All the characters were annoying and the dialogue sounded extremely pretentious, to the point where I was skipping through it.
The gameplay itself was a constant dodge fest and the enemy designs kinda bland.
That's not to say it's a bad game, I'd give it a solid 7, but I thought it was the most overhyped game in the last half decade.
When the trailer for this came on, I thought it was going to be an expansion as it looked identical. Will likely pick it up but on a 50% off sale or something.
