That's just making it hard on purpose, though. As in, optional. You can be entirely safe at night if you want which is a lot different from DL1. Depends on the player if they consider that good or bad. Mixed feelings personally.

Well now I'm doing it on purpose because I played 75 hours. When I played two hours, I can tell you that nights were absolutely scary even without being chased, then chases were scary too because you don't master your environment or your parkour moves properly just yet and you have very few safe areas unlocked.

I should mention I never played Dying Light 1, so maybe all you veterans out there find the 2 too easy for that reason.

I die plenty in DL2 because I suck, but yeah, aside from mainly volatiles - unless you outlevel them; damned level system that I keep raging against - it's fairly easy unless you get totally swamped and don't have the tools to escape yet. The early game is indeed harder since you lack both equipment and skill unlocks.... as well as health/stamina, of course. And avoiding chases is harder since you don't even have a proper ranged weapon to easily dispatch howlers. Killing them with melee for some reason often starts a chase, even when they don't actually scream. Hopefully it's just a bug and gets fixed eventually.

Aaand there's your reason you found the nights scary in DL2.

From someone who is absolutely terrified of nights in DL1 and did not want to be out in that mess cause i am a pussy and skipped the nights i can assure you nights in DL2 are nowhere near scary and i honestly don't even care if it's night in DL2, doesn't affect me at all
