While this sequel brings some welcome gameplay improvements, I liked the original better. I didn't like that the "neutral" ending from the first game is canon, meaning that the choices players made in the original don't really matter.
The combat and gunplay is slightly more satisfying than in the original, but the enemy count has been increased, often resulting in frustrating combat encounters. I didn't like that some enemies could only be killed in insanity mode. They've also made some puzzling decisions, such as reducing the weapon limit and removing the healing inventory. The game also feels more linear than the first.
Even though it's a sequel that didn't need to be made, it's still decent and can be finished relatively quickly. Just make sure you play it on the easy difficulty, otherwise you'll have a very frustrating time with it.
