How does this game compare to Dead Island? Tbh, I'm always really drawn to games like Borderlands and Dead Island. I love 4-player campaign coop in an open-world.

But my issue with Dead Island was that I got bored in about 3 hours. It felt kind of shallow. Side quests were a chore. Main quests were, meh. I really didn't like how fast weapons fell apart, but that was more of a minor issue I suppose.

When I see Dying Light videos I think, urban Dead Island with some mirrors edge mechanics... If thats true, it wouldnt hold my attention any more than Dead Island.

So I'm curious, what sets this game above Dead Island?
