Still going to have narrative limitations and swimming based stamina (I assume there are some progress gates with that). But holy crap the number of times I tried to enjoy Dying Light 2 and just hated that I couldn't scale a wall or even effectively run away at night.

Narratively, I agree that Crane isn’t a very strong character. He’s a dime-a-dozen government goon turned idealist. I don’t even remember how the story ends, or even most of the major beats except for a couple of major characters.

DL1 spoilers, I guess

spoiler

You are a super secret agent for FEMA or something and are going after a rogue agent named Rais who I guess has secrets that show the zombie outbreak is at least partially UNATCO's fault? You meet sexy olympian parkour lady named Jade and hang out with her parkour friends. Then you get Jade's little brother killed so she is pissed at you but also you want her to step on you. Then the government agency you work for wants you to team up with Rais or some shit but you say no and betray them and decide to hang out with your cool parkour friends. Jade gets killed but you kill Rais and then you say some nonsense to the CDC. Then we have the DLC where everyone is out of water and zombrex so you go outside to drive dune buggies with a vaguely racist pseudo-african tribe (right outside generic Middle East city). You get double infected and turn into a super infected and every one of your parkour friends in the city die from lack of supplies.

The story was ridiculously forgettable but the gameplay was REAL good. It was everything we wanted out of Dead Island (except for the ridiculously emotional beats) but also actually fun to play. And REAL good grappling hook.
