Did you enter your first night? It wasnt until i was forced to be outside at night that i started to really enjoy the game. Once i did though, it became one of my all time favourites, AND i found i eventually enjoyed the day and the night equally.
I skip the night. My problem is I keep running out of items and crafting and searching is so cumbersome. Plus dying makes me lose experience so I just feel like I take one step forward and two steps back. Doesn’t help that I don’t play it for extended periods and coming back to it becomes a chore.

I's cool man, you dont have to enjoy everything. If you dont like it you dont like it. I would think though that if losing experience (i didnt know this was a thing) for dying i a problem for you, maybe try it on an easier difficulty? I personally really enjoyed the story of both this and the expansion. Maybe give it one more try on the easiest difficulty seeing as you already own the game, and if that doesnt do it for you, just uninstall it. There are plenty of other games for you to enjoy
May be worth a shot. Just uninstalled the first one as the expansion was such a chore, did a couple of main quests then it told me to help locals to get noticed which I have no idea what was needed, did a couple of side quests, got bored and uninstalled.
I hope (DL2) is not too open world i.e. you have a start middle and end to the game.

I'm very happy to see this. Chris Avellone wrote the greatest story in RPG history and the first dying light is my favorite survival horror game of all time. It also ranks up there pretty high on my list for open world RPG hybrid games.
My interest in gaming has nearly disappeared over the years. It's not that I don't like to game it's that the gaming industry has slowly changed it's games to cater to the masses that don't want real games. It's mostly competitive games that twist all genre's into multiplayer sports games or casual skin deep games that require no skill or intelligence. Even Resident Evil 7 and the last doom bored the heck out of me.
Doom really let me down. It's environments felt like cheaply snapped together multiplayer arena's and the gameplay while fun, got boring and repetitive within a couple hours. I never finished either of them. I admit that my expectations are higher now, after all I enjoyed the original doom very much and it wasn't much different but that was in a time when people had never even seen a 3D video game before. Doom 3 impressed me more than the last one simply because it had an art style that didn't feel uninspired.
I think STALKER was the last game that truly made me happy until Dying light came along. Dying light copied styles from other games like Farcry that are decent enough but blended them in a way that was unique and fun. What really sets it apart is the environment and gameplay balance. It's set up to reward players that immerse themselves deeply and play a long time with deep gameplay and lots of fine details to see. It also requires that you pay attention and use smarts when maneuvering around the city and equipping your character. It's unapologetically hard as well. I've beaten nightmare mode with a fresh level one character two times now because it's a rare challenge that you don't see these days. (Without modding anyway.) The Farcry name continues to be the same old formula kicked out every year and has gotten stale. Dying Light 2 is the only game on my radar this year but it looks like it might be a real winner. It seems like the good games that actually cater toward the PC and next generation graphics are usually from Russia or Germany now. The suits haven't throttled the creative life out of their development teams to satisfy the stock market in those countries. Even GTA is now an online **** fest of quick gratification and stale gameplay. I really hope this delivers.
I'll probably buy the new metro too. Single player on rails shooters are not my thing but it reminds me of stalker glory and it utilizing PC graphic cards for a change. I wish development teams like this could get a decent budget to do a high quality open world game like Dying Light 2. Hitman 2 could be good as well. Team IOI are very talented and have a vision for what THEY want. The last Hitman game was good at it's core but the episodic content spread it out too much and they had to add tons of soulless filler that didn't fit the game in order to keep people engaged until the next episode. They were making tons of optional check list garbage that was set up to satisfy Steam achievement hoarders. It's nice that WB decided to produce for them like they are for Dying light's development team. Square Enix was killing them trying to change the game for the mainstream masses. They nearly sold out the entire staff with Absolution. Reminds me of what EA did to Bioware.
