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.
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’ll manage one day…
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.

I recall having occasional one-frame flashes of the antagonist whenever they were being mentioned
