The last great human settlement exists within an unforgiving, infected world, plunged into a modern dark age. During the day, bandits, factions and starving survivors roam the streets scavenging for scraps - or someone to take them from, by violence if necessary. At night the infected roam free, evacuating their dark hideouts to prey on the living. You are Aiden Caldwell, an infected survivor. Your exceptional agility and brutal combat skills make you a powerful ally and a valuable commodity in this dangerous world. You can achieve things no one else can. Enter places no one else dares. With your unique abilities you have the power to be an agent of change within this decaying metropolis.

    YOUR CHOICES, YOUR WORLD
    You must make tough decisions and hard sacrifices as you decide the fate of a society on the brink of collapse. The effect of the choices you make will have a huge impact on entire regions of the city, uncovering new land masses and areas to explore. Play the entire campaign in up to four-player co-op. Host your own games or join other players' and see how their choices have played out differently to your own.

    EXCEPTIONAL AGILITY AND BRUTAL COMBAT
    On your journey from humble beginnings to a person of great power, you have unprecedented freedom of movement across the city, seamlessly integrated with brutal first person combat.

    A MODERN DARK AGE
    In a desperate city, where resources and power are scarce, unstable, and trust in ruling bodies is all but eroded; humankind has reverted to a dark age. Civilization is gone but the relics are still there. This is a violent, primal & unforgiving world - and so are its inhabitants.

    THE INFECTION HAS EVOLVED
    The infection has evolved and become more sensitive to UV light. Society exists in the relative safety of sunlight, while the infected hide in the shadows of buildings. At night the infected roam the streets freely searching for prey, presenting opportunities for you to explore areas of the city inaccessible by day.    … Expand

    Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a great sequel to a pretty good game. With fun traversal mechanics, combat encounters, and agonising choices in the story, it could be very much worth the playtime.

    Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a more than worthy follow up and worth the wait. Whilst not necessarily reinventing the wheel, it excels in being one of the best versions of the open-world formula we've known for some time. With silky-smooth parkour and combat mechanics, and plenty of things to see and do, I highly recommend the plunge into The City. Where there's slight polishing to still be done and the story at times leaves a bit to be desired, shining moments and performances make it all the more worthwhile, standing as a stronger entry than its predecessor. This has become my favourite free roam zombie game to date and has me constantly itching to jump back in and tool around some more in its playground. Not bloody bad, Techland.

    Dying Light 2 has managed to be a very good sequel with its choices that determine the course of the story, new character features and its great open world where you can spend a long time in it.

    Gamer is more than plentiful these days with all types of genres ranging from first-person shooters, MMO’s, and every game/movie adaption you can shake a stick at. It is nice to see a Gem among them shine so brightly. This title features a bit of everything I have come to admire about other games and rolled into a creepy yet satisfying game. Dying Light 2 Staying Human has earned the title of the favorite game of 2022 at this time.

    Dying Light 2: Stay Human is a title that struggles to bear the weight of its ambitions, as a result of a development path that in all probability proved to be more bumpy than expected.

    Dying Light 2 exchanges simplicity for scale but it is still a decent sequel. The parkour movement and combat are both excellent, but the poor story, simplified night gameplay, and broken co-op mean this is not the best zombie game from Techland.

    Despite all my complaints, I initially had fun with Dying Light 2. The first quarter of the game was engaging. I think if the rest of the game played like this, I would have way more positive things to say, but the fact is that it’s just not done. This is clearly an unfinished game mired in mismanagement. I don’t blame the developers at all; the leaders and executives behind this work are responsible. What works here is clean and well done, albeit with some boring AAA niceties. After the first quarter or so, though, the game absolutely falls apart in almost every respect. I’m sad for what was produced here, but if I’m being honest, I’m more sad that I invested nearly thirty hours of my own time into this. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

    Criticizing a good game for not having a non-essential language version is pathetic.

The game improves upon parkour mechanics from the first game and level design of open world makes it shine even brighter. Personally combat for is a little less satisfying. The weapons apart from 2-handed ones lack weight. Zombies feel less like a threat and more like time wasters here which takes away from the atmosphere of the game. Apart from that while combat with humans is a lot better than in the first game the AI often feels dumb. The open world itself feels like old ubisoft open worlds where you will be doing the same things over and over but they always attach a spin to each thing and make it feel unique. Some people may dislike this design I however enjoyed it thoroughly. The upgrades trees are just like in the first game genius and the progression is satisfying. The stamina change really makes a difference in the open world however at times it feels like the system was changed in a way to keep you away from progressing too fast through the story and gatekeep you from completing certain activities. The story is really boring with tons of plotholes, inconsistent characters which also often are really flat or annoying and quite cliche plot drive with a lost family member. There's also a ton of junk in terms of bugs but sooner or later they will get fixed and they weren't a dealbreaker for me. Overall the game lives up to both first game and expectations and while it has it's cons it is fun and really enjoyable with tons of content to sustain players interest and keep them playing,… Expand

За что так полюбилась первая часть? Правильно, за чувство обреченности, и чувство страха от ночной вылазки, паркур был реалистичный, главный герой не прыгал как попрыгунчик- он был человеком! Во второй части мы имеем ужасный паркур, который привнес в игру длинные прыжки будто ты человек-паук. Ночные вылазки не страшные абсолютно, оружий мало, только ближнее, нету огнестрела. Графика у*людская, на любых настройках разрешения какая-то рябь на экране, зернистость. Отстой. Лучше не делали бы продолжение нежели так.… Expand
