I wasn't really blown away by Infinite myself, the story seems like merely a variation of the one in the original. I did appreciate that it touched on some fairly heavy and very relevant topics for the modern day though. The gameplay is quite fun in the beginning but gets really old, much like in the original, the powers seem like a waste, again; much like in the original.
I love the scenery and level design in Infinite but the level of interraction is way too low and the design is amazingly linear and merely lends the illusion of a form of open world roaming, it's more or less limited to which crate you hide behind and which of the two doors leading to the same staircase you want to take.
That said; I still think the comparison is a hard one, I actually liked Alan Wake a great deal, it has amazing atmosphere and the gameplay is pretty good. The visual design is also good and the music is great. It is repetitive though, few weapons and very few enemies, but so does early RE games in hindsight. I'd get both, personally, they're both dirt cheap at this point, I think I paid 5 euros for Infinite on Steam.
