This a tough review, since the first Dying Light is among the best games I've ever played.
Dying Light 2 has to be one of the most nonsense and boring stories I've ever witnessed, with arguably the worse ending I've ever seen.
Your choices mean very little in the game, they start to matter only in the final missions, but trust me, the ending is so bad that if you happen to see it beforehand you wouldn't care at all.
Story is a 0 for me, even the voice acting is not well written nor well executed compared to the first game.
Also, the iconic night time mechanics aren't as scary, since there aren't Volatiles around to chase you to death, and the color tone choices make the game a bit brighter overall, just enough to make the player feel safer than in the first game.
Why 4 stars then?
Gameplay is awesome, it makes up for everything I've just said. You don't really buy Dying Light because you want a good story, you buy it because you want to violently mass murder a bunch of biters by dropkicking them off skyscrapers. I have around 4000+ kills in this game and at least 1/4 of those were dropkicks. Trust me, it never gets old.
