    I really like the first part of Dying Light, I was really looking forward to the second part, but I was disappointed. In the first part of the game, literally all the mechanics are made better than in the sequel, it feels like it was actually Stay Human that came out first, and only then just DL.

    Dying Light is one of my favorite games of all time. Amazing story and characters, lush and detailed world, harrowing night missions and incredible parkour mechanics. Then there's Dying Light 2.

    Wszystko by było fajnie. Gdyby były spluwy. Siekasz te zombiaki tymi tasakami jak nienormalny. Zmienia się tylko wygląd i staty broni. I tak siekasz przez całą grę. A ja oczekiwałem czegoś lepszego od jedynki. Zawiodłem się. Chciałem miotacze ognia, rakiety, granatniki, piły łańcuchowe. A dostałem symulację rzeźnika.

I gave the game every benefit of the doubt at every step, I kept saying "ok it's not that bad, it'll get better" well guess what? IT NEVER GOT BETTER.

    The one game more **** than Battlefield 2042, In half the time I've encountered twice the amount of bugs and issues. (Yes I am making a detailed list with reference images to show just how bad their dev team has become.) What happened to turn Techland into a seriously **** developer? (They used to be well intentioned capable devs that can write good stories, now just money-hungry shills, that make the buggiest game with the least likeable characters, and most poorly constructed story that really doesnt have much of anything to do with Aiden's actual purpose. Not to mention cutscenes not appearing, entire buildings not rendering, music that doesn't fit the story( playing upbeat techno music during emotional death scenes), the skills the game gives you not working, If I didnt know any better I would have thought this was an indie game made by a classroom of pigeons with only one wing. Is this the trend in gaming now? Make one alright game then just make **** after ****?

    These are a miniscule fraction of the terrible broken chunk of unplayable mess Techland is trying to sell.
    MY GAME HAS NO JACK MATT MODEL, NO JUAN MODEL, NO ROWE MODEL. Who are any of these people? should I relate to people I cannot see or hear? If I wanted to read a story I'd pickup a book. The SINGULAR AND ONLY decent aspect of this game, is the parkour. I am beyond dissappointed, I didnt ask for my money back for Battlefield 2042 because that game is still playable. Dying light 2 is more broken, buggy, and poorly made than any game to date. I highly recommend NOT purchasing this game for at least a few more months until they fix the broken product they DELIBERATELY AND MISLEADINGLY sold. These are discgraceful business practices and Techland should be not only ashamed of themselves as indivuals, but should face legal repercussions for ACTIVELY LYING TO ITS CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT THEY MADE. Once again the only decent thing about the game is the parkour. (which in itself is still relatively janky and unrealistic at times). There are plenty more screenshots showcasing how beyond **** this game is at launch.

    Without the major problems this would probably get an 8. It is quite fun for the first 40 hours before the deja vu and "ubisoftasis" repeating structure sets in where you just do the same thing over and over again with copy paste clutter missions.

    Without the major problems this would probably get an 8. It is quite fun for the first 40 hours before the deja vu and "ubisoftasis" repeating structure sets in where you just do the same thing over and over again with copy paste clutter missions.

    However the reason I give this a 0 is because the game is completely unplayable without using mods to remove the horrendous HUD clutter in this game. It is probably the worst I have seen in a very long time and the HUD option "Immersive" is pathetic and like a slap in the face. There is nothing "immersive" about it and there are icons EVERYWHERE. The people in charge of the interface should get fired on the spot. You cant' even see at times because there is so much HUD clutter everywhere.
    I finally could play the game though after finding modders who have removed the HUD and the xray eyes etc. I can't review a game that is fixed by modders though but have to review it as it is when buying.

    Apart from the horrendous HUD there are also many other big problems with the game. For example:

    - Copy paste interiors that all look identical. They are complete 1:1 copy paste of one location to the next. Even the big GRE missions you go on are completely identical. Exteriors look great, but as soon as you get indoors it is like the graphics downgrades 10-15 years and you get a serious sense of deja vu.

    - Controls often feel unresponsive in some ways.

    - Even on hard difficulty the game is so easy you will be bored. It is like it was made for kids. Also many overpowered mechanics, especially the crossbow that makes every other weapon in the game obsolete.

    - Some of the most important "choices" in the game are made for you

    - Picking faction does not really have any effect on the game.

    - Dying has no consequence

    - Zombies feel more like an annoyance than something you are afraid off like in the first game. If you don't mod away the xray vision also then there is zero suspense since you can see every enemy through walls

    - Too many and respawning loot everywhere making loot locations pointless

    -Doesn't have proper ultrawide support, since they add blackbars on cutscenes for...reasons?
    Besides these things that I could verify myself after just 20 minutes of "playing" the game, there's all the complaints made by other people that actually finished the game (ah, the brave ones), such as weak story and bad dialogue. Do not buy this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m not sure where to start with the complete and utter failure of this game. I played it on Xbox series X. The game out of the box was filled with buggy glitches. The story was weak and poorly doled out providing neither a good single player experience or a multiplayer experience. The lack of guns really took some of the fun out of a good four player run going after volatiles at night. When fighting mobs at your own level they are extremely block happy and bullet spongy. I’m fairly certain most humans can’t take five to 10 hacks to the head with a machete. There are no good choices and what you do really does not affect the game at all in fact the traps are far less useful than the original game the general storyline felt like they just made a new crane and gave them a new name. This game leaves you upset with poor fight set ups and terrible bugs and generally nothing to do after you’ve been in the game in two days. The sound bug is absolutely terrible and I’ve been forced into animations by story and falling straight through the floor in a building into levels that don’t exist. I hit one of the larger zombies in the head with 57 arrow to the head…. 57 and they are not recoverable. It really feels like they learned nothing from the original game that was so popular and decided to turn and deliver nothing of the choices and alterations that actually affect the game in the final product this is an incredible letdown. I have played the original dying light through it entirely story probably 7 to 10 times and I’ve also done the following three or four and it was excellent this game has none of that creativity or storytelling. The controls are terrible and Jenkee at best I often press the trigger and get no effect jump kicks rarely work and the kick feature which was key in the original game is complete junk . I feel like there is less tactics and creativity in combat even though they added a block feature . It was much easier in the original game two judo throw people without having to block first they sacrifice too much for this one mechanic . They need to fix this game immediately and there are many many quality of life things that need to be adjusted. All the exotics you got are useless because they are out leveled and then they die and cannot be repaired even the most core fantastic thing that they did in dead island they failed to do in dying light two. Give us a workbench to repair our equipment you make us grind for the upgrades of each pattern there is no need to be completely a loser over the equipment when you finally find something you like. Also would not hurt to make away to infuse gear to current level. The other thing is over half The mobs do nothing but reduce your Health and equipment and provide no loot whatsoever. The final fight with waltz was complete and inspired trash. The final project is a re-warmed dinner of all the things you experienced with Kane story no choices are good and everyone you like in the game dies regardless of what you do. The one thing I liked was the added Hulk volatile mode which would be fantastic if you could activate it and has been a complete and utter missed opportunity. The intelligent Hunter was introduced on the following and it makes me sad that this was never followed through one. It would be nice if there was an expansion if you could play Kane as an intelligent volatile who hides himself under masks just as the mother did in the original game . hunter mode at night Old style kane in the day. The series X game is only 35 gigs I mean there’s really nothing to it I don’t know what they did for the last three years Expand

    Just to preface, this review is coming from someone who is likely in the minority of players but still needs to be voiced nonetheless. This is after 1.05 Patch
    Playing this on Ps4 has been abysmal to say the least. There's a lot of bugs. A lot that I can't even find other players talking about yet. This game clearly wasn't tested for co-op. Many of the bugs not only stem from there, they will pretty much break saves on any user in the session. From affecting key items in your inventory, to skipping missions but also reverting you to choices no one ever made, even going as insane as overlapping both worlds like you're watching two dimensions crash.

    Now the writing can range on a wide spectrum from really bad cliches and "twists" just to not be predictable, to fairly competent story telling. It can jump the shark at times but it still works when going into fun sequences. What drags the story down the most though is the bugs. There's a bug where audio will cut out and dialogue will skip, not just in conversations but while casually running through the world too. You miss out on any crucial details that are suppose to impact your decisions. A heartwrenching moment can just be totally ruined but magically skipping animations and end with you apologizing over a radio. One of the most despised characters will be the ONLY audio you get. This problem compounds and gets worse as you finish the game. In co-op even the dialogue goes black screen. Heck, they decided opening doors should be a special event when so that means taking the time to load a black screen, miss anything the host is experiencing, then come out 2 minutes later getting beat by NPC's or looking nostalgic at an object with no context.

    There's suppose to be this division between saves so your own world doesn't get affected by joining another player, well that doesn't work. I skipped ahead 3 story missions even though I helped a friend at a later point in his game. Its even giving me story missions from choices I never even made. Its hard to even dissect whether the story is an improvement or not when you miss out on so much of it.

    About the Parkour, I have to agree with both sides. With the 1st game it was fun, new, but still pretty stiff. Although the stiffness helped you generally stay on track which works for a fresh game emphasizing parkouring in an open world zombie game. In this game things can be fluid, you can combo and constantly run and gradually upgrade yourself to get past obstacles that would impede you early on. The main issue though is your running on a one button system, meaning all your jumping, grabbing, all your normal sequences unrelated to specific actions hinges on that button working. Combine that with how more open ended the parkour is and you create your own obstacles or do things that weren't intended. Sometimes grabbing doesn't work or you climb instead of wallrun. You'll try to escape an area but you instead grab a door hinge and get hit from behind. The stamina system in general is a terrible idea, especially when it comes to towers. Say what you will about Ubisoft game, at least they will flat out tell you you can't unlock specific radio towers without a tool. In DL2, stamina in terms of towers feels like a complete hinderance even though they emphasize the freedom of movement for everything. Sometimes you can actually unlock towers without the required stamina, sometimes you will actually need way more. Grabbing on to objects wastes stamina, jumping from object to object after grabbing wastes a lot of stamina. This works fine when parkouring because your stamina will replenish while running but those towers? It can be insanely difficult to make it to the end or even prevent you from getting there because of the absurd stamina usage. Some of the tower designs are just meant to drain your stamina rather than have any thought into how you're suppose to progress. It becomes a complete chore and shows some of the seems on how they "improved" mechanics from the 1st game, let alone the fact that open world towers are an outdate annoyance and only around 3 games have managed to make them fun

    Its insanely frustrating that you can see potential in how well this game could work but clearly needed at least 6 months to back or proper play testing before release. You can see how much love and effort was put into much of this game but maybe with a more nuanced perspective, we could have seen a more complete and fleshed out product. If you just want parkour and busting zombie heads, you can always just pick up the first game. Its cheaper and its properly finished as a working product. And if you're in the majority who is enjoying the game without any technical issues, congrats. Meanwhile there's some of us who pretty much would like a refund because its so bad and I think those people should be heard.

    Is the game fun? Kind of? As long as you can make fun of it and just follow quests WITH A FRIEND. By yourself? Go play Days Gone or almost any other BETTER open world and/or zombie game.

    I also do NOT understand why devs feel the need to add the work f**k into every sentence either. Good writing requires a bigger dictionary.

    Обожаю зомби-игры и рпг - эта игра мой идеал) Здесь реально клево играть ночью.
    У меня не супер-комп, я собирала его из неплохих, но относительно дешевых частей, тем не менее - игра, которую все ругают за оптимизацию, идет на нем без перебоев.
    Баги, конечно, встречаются (например, пару квестов я проходила уже трижды, а после загрузки они опять не пройдены) но это мелочи. Кто на такую

    The Epilogue is just disgusting vomit.
    I went through the whole game in one breath, but the ending KILLED !!! the whole impression of the game, I didn’t even finish off Waltz, I didn’t want to fall out in this sh/t so much. The ending banished a very good game, again. If you stole and finalized all the ideas of the first STALKER, you would learn how to make an ending like its authors

    Эпилог - это просто омерзительный высер.
    Всю игру прошел на одном дыхании, но концовка УБИЛА!!! все впечатление от игры, даже не стал добивать этого Вальца, настолько не хотелось вываливаться в этом дерьме. Как можно было изговнять хорошую игру - просто диву даешься. Если вы украли и доработали все идеи первого STALKER - поучились бы делать концовку как его авторы из А4 в METRO EXODUS.
    Тотальное разочарование.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Начну с того, из-за чего сгорело больше всего - концовок.
    Их 4: взорвать город + уйти одному или с Хаконом, или спасти город + уйти одному или уйти с Лоан. Лучшим вариантом можно назвать последним, так что нам для него надо сделать?
    1. Отдать радиовышку Френку, ебаному пьянице, которого не раскрывали, дали немного информации о его прошлом и все, никаких побочек, дополнительных действий с этой жирной свиньей. При этом есть вариант поставить жучек Хоана и отдать миротворцам, для чего надо было выполнить длинную и довольно интересную миссию с программистом в соборе. Поставив жучок, мы могли бы разобрать, что мутит Мэтт, тем самым раскрыв какой то зловещий план. В итоге было еще 2 больших миссий Хоана, где мы должны были спасти весь город. В итоге городу нихуя не угрожала, полетели ракеты и что дай вышку миротворцам, что выжившим, все пошло бы по пизде в одну миссию. Нахуй я старался, пытался рационально мыслить, хотел в чем то разобраться, надо было просто в последний момент отдать телебашню пьянчуге, забив на жертвы кучи миротворцев, на план, на ситуацию с Хоаном.
    Многие скажут, что я долбаеб, и поверил Хоану, которому не следовало верить... А Я ДОЛЖЕН БЫЛ ПОВЕРИТЬ ФРЕНКУ В ПОСЛЕДНЮЮ СЕКУНДУ? Тупо рандомно поменялось настроение, отдам ему телебашню за мир и за любовь, ему то можно доверять, к ЭТОМУ МЕНЯ ВЕЛ СЮЖЕТ? В итоге для лучшей концовки надо было просто скипнуть весь контент, отдать радиовышку просто на отъебись, и спасти Хакона (тоже долбаеб, но да ладно).

    Теперь к хорошему - бой. Боевка добротная, дропкики не надоедали до самого конца, прокачка оружия и обмундирования не плохая, не считая тупейшего решение сделать гринд необычных зараженных, когда можно было бы делать прокачку из более редких трофеев, без обычных. В конце было около 50 уникальных трфеев, и 5-10 необычных.
    Опять к плохому - сложность. НУ КАК ЗА СТОЛЬКО ЛЕТ БЛЯТЬ НИКТО НЕ НАУЧИЛСЯ ДЕЛАТЬ СЛОЖНОСТЬ!?!?!? Нельзя повышать просто всему статы, даже в гриндилках такого нет, там хотя бы дают большую награду за большую сложность. Должно быть железное правило у каждого разработчика: ВЫСОКИЙ РИСК = ВЫСОКАЯ НАГРАДА. По мне зараженные наносят больше урона, ну тогда и я буду наносить больше урона, или буду наносить его лучшим оружием, или сложность повысит их количество, или количество уникальных зараженных в их рядах, или вообще, даст им новые способности (это я уже мечтаю). Но нет, будем хуярить разлагающийся кусок мяса, который на 3 уровня ниже меня, легендарным оружием с лучшей прокачкой, по 6 ударов.
    Паркур и передвижение по городу неплохое, особенно с получение параплана. Правда бесит, что Эйдан прыгает, как на луне. (И я знаю, что он сверх человек, это не должно ломать законы физики и заставлять его приземляться, как ели бы он был пушинка на ветру)

    Another game, another brigade of bots to protect terrible releases.

    + Sound design and atmosphere is solid
    + Great visuals for the exterior settings

    - Runs like trash
    - Story is awful
    - Fired a competent writer and it shows
    - Mouse and keyboard binding options are missing or broken with perks
    - Voice acting is all over the place
    - Unnecessary DRM
    - Boring factions
    - Illusion of choice
    - No Italian localization
    - Combat is not any better than predecessor
    - "Stay Human" mechanic is terrible and makes night time annoying, not scary
    - Co-op broken
    - Cross-play promise abandoned
    - Another game that is released with a plethora of bugs
    - $129.99 Deluxe Edition (Pre-order now for your skins kids!)

    When I heard we were finally going to get DL2, I was stoked, I thought Techland would smooth out the combat and give us a compelling story that the first game truly deserved, and when I heard Chris Avellone (Fallout New Vegas & Witcher 3) was on board, I thought this was it, this game will go from great to phenomenal. 2018 E3 rolls around and gives us a 40 minute demo showing some incredible visuals, decent combat, some brand new story branching elements, and even some map changes depending on your "choices".

    Hey, to any gamer out there that has paid attention to the industry in the last 7 years... guess what happened next? 2018 E3 Trailer was a lie, the project turned into a woke political fest, there was major infighting during the development, the game was being overhauled, Avellone was fired for sexual misconduct allegations from 8 years prior, the game fell into development hell, came back out, got re-worked, has no sense of direction, release date pushed back a year or more, and finally gets this release. Do you still think it has a chance at being good?

    No, poor optimization, terrible writing, keybinding issues, quest breaking bugs, co-op doesn't work for quite a few people, cross-play which was promised initially is out, visuals are hit and miss, your choices do not matter, the factions are boring, the combat is the same as DL1, the characters are all uninteresting, the stay human mechanic is just annoying, and sadly the game is just not fun.

    DL1 is a superior experience to this game, so if you have not played that, go back and grab that on sale. The graphics are still solid and the gameplay is actually enjoyable. DL2 is DL1 without any fun. I miss the old grappling hook and swinging around like spider-man, I enjoyed having firearms to ignite barrels with from afar, I thoroughly enjoyed the night-time challenge with the volatiles and the grappling hook parkour, it was fun.

    What happened? My guess is the usual culprit, Politics. Techland hired a bunch of activists who were devoid of talent and were not competent enough to produce a title worth playing. They complained about a "hostile" and "toxic" work environment and wanted to oust the CEO and lead writer.

    Avellone was dismissed after an allegation of sexual misconduct in 2012 (8 years prior to allegation), which was filed by a friend of one of his former partners who was upset about a breakup in 2018? Avellone also countersued the party for false accusations as the claims were never substantiated and he lost work over the last 2 years as a result. Sounds to me like they were lying, just to get him removed.

    Marchewka, Techland's CEO, seems like a bit of an "obtuse" boss, but nothing out of the ordinary to be honest. If these people did not want to work there, they could have just quit, Techland is its own entity, they are not beholden to shareholders like most other developers are, so time crunch, muzzled creativity, and employee retention should not be an issue at all. These employees clearly had an agenda, and could not be satiated.

    Point is, you cannot reboot your game, mid-development cycle, and release a half-baked game that is clearly broken from launch and then patch your way to a completed product over time, that is called "early-access", and on top of that, they have the gall to sell a $129.99 [CAD] deluxe edition with skins. The Denuvo inclusion makes sense now, I would be very afraid of piracy if I released a game in this state.

    Metacritic can allow a million bots to throw 10/10 ratings, but this is not a complete game and it is an insult to fans of the first game. I would give it a 2, but bots gonna bot, so here's a fresh zero. This is not the same Techland from 2015. Politics has reared its head again and destroyed another franchise. Shocker.

    The Bad :
    1.) Story telling is predictable thus boring. Story decision exist is just for the sake of being there, doesn't feel like it is necessary needed to be there in the first place.
    2.) Repetitive fetching quest.
    3.) Identical GRE labs exploration which lost it's unique identity while exploring, very lazy on this part.
    4.) Combat felt janky, cartoony blood flows from enemy and no physics on the ground, bad AI design, enemy take turns to hit you, why not all jump on you at once??
    5.) Parkour felt too floaty, restricted at times and did not feel like an improvement from DL1.
    6.) Lack of NPCs models, stiffed and soulless animations, downgraded NPCs lip sync with weird eyes looking directions while interacting(almost like mess effect 3), and lack of dialogues between main characters and idle NPCs. Limited NPCs movement, you can actually find point A to point B direction from where they move, repetitive.
    7.) Lack of crowd Infected at night, unnecessary spawns of howlers to act as alarm triggers within Aiden's vicinity. Lack of aggressive volatiles chase. Virals had personality in DL1, they were once humans recently turned, and some of that humanity lingered when you fought them. They could beg for their lives in brief moments before the virus took hold, and they could follow you where most infected couldn't. Even their animations and frantic clambering had love and care put into them. None of what made Virals interesting and memorable exists in DL2 and they feel no different than the regular infected.
    8.) Faction system doesn't feel like a choice, more like a chore. Choosing the peacekeepers over the survivors on a mechanical level is stupid because combat is way too easy and unthreatening that their boons provide useless value.
    9.) No unique repairable weapons, for a pilgrim that travel so many places, failed to obtain his own set of weapons.
    10.) Lack of explanation of what end game boss needed to tell the audience why he made the choices he had to, too many cliff hangers, cringe plot line.
    11.) Bugs
    12.) Why hire a hollywood actor when you can use that budget somewhere else like NPCs animations, more budget into story writing directions and creative combat design?
    13.) Why milk the main theme music into different tone of setting in the game and call it a day? It doesn't feel like the music is different while playing the game, just different tone with only one main theme and then picked apart. Feels lazy to me and not inspirational at all.

    Final thoughts, a disappointment for sure, a step forward with two steps back of directions techland is taking into. Will never purchase another product ever again from techland along with cdpr in it.

    - интересный город, здания стали выше, природа живее
    - неплохая русская локализация, по меркам русских локализаций конечно
    Ну а теперь минусы, их к сожалению не мало
    - рваный, куцый сюжет, его как будто придумали большим, захватывающим, а потом просто вырывали огромные куски, так как не успевали к дедлайну. Вы скажите, какой смысл обращать внимание на сюжет в зомби-слэшере? Я согласен с вами, но PR отдел давил на сюжет и его вариативность, как на сильную сторону игры
    - никакущая вариативность, опять же один из обещанных плюсов игры на деле оказался просто пшиком. Вся вариативность заканчивается на уровне финального диалога в квеста/сайдквеста и выборе зиплайнов или ловушек на месте захваченного аванпоста. А некоторые по истине вариативные моменты срабатывают через десяток часов, когда ты уже забыл о своём выборе.
    - финальный твист и в целом злодей вышли пустыми. Мотивации нет, он просто злой.
    - баги анимаций, кривые склейки
    - отсутствие системы ручных сохранений, переназначения кнопок, регулировки FOV
    - удерживайте X что бы лутать КАЖДОГО зомби, при том что даже не в каждом есть лут
    - удерживайте X что бы лутать плоские помойки с нарисованным мусором. 2022 год на дворе, текстуры из SAMP.
    - как это ты не хочешь держать X? Тогда ты не прокачаешь 9 уровней КАЖДОГО элемента своей экипировки, что бы получить +2% урона
    - игра максимально жёлтая, до боли в глазах
    - боёвка, ОНИ ДАЖЕ ЕЁ ИСПОРТИЛИ. Теперь это не зомби-слэшер, это РПГ! Сбивай полоски здоровья, бей врага, ему насрать пока полоска не кончится. И пусть у тебя в руке мачетте или что то другое острое, даже не мечтай об отрубании руки, пока есть здоровье.

    Incredibly boring, incredibly stupid, incredibly disappointing.
    After the 7 years of development and promises, nothing good came out. Plot is dumb, very dumb, if you gonna play this game you'll hate it, some of the characters behaviour defies logic, but well almost all characters behaviour defies it too. The system of a "choices" you make throughout the game doesn't influence anything at

Plot is dumb, very dumb, if you gonna play this game you'll hate it, some of the characters behaviour defies logic, but well almost all characters behaviour defies it too. The system of a "choices" you make throughout the game doesn't influence anything at all, even the quest that's SUPPOSED TO CHANGE THE PLOT ROUTE when you accept it, goes into the side quests, then why ask? Parkour is dumb too, you can jump over zombie up to the 4th floor, HOW?! (Spoiler!) The early plot ment that we are some super powerful infected, but current plot remembers about it in only selected moments and that's about it. The fighting is far worse than the first game, you now don't feel that impact from the weapon you hitting an enemy with, now it goes like a knife through butter. And that Ubisoft's RPG game style driving me nuts, with the need of a HP upgrade to get PARKOUR skill point, like just, seriously?? I strongly do not recommend you to play this game, but if you want, buy it only on sale. I believed in Techland, but they turned out to be another AAA soulless game company, that cant make games.

    Optimización horrible, el juego pide demasiado para lo que ofrece, parece un juego de mitades de la generación pasada.

    Sistema de combate torpe y unas físicas de risa, nunca en la vida había visto alguien salir volando como si le dieras un escopetazo solo por golpearlo con un bate...

    La campaña más que ser una historia cliché es ridícula.

    It doesn't matter how good is the game you've made. You make a deal with Denuvo - you're bad for business. Guess what, pirates aren't your customers. You gain nothing. You only make your game run worse than it should. For the game itself, sorry to break it for you, the first one was better.

    Everything but the main quest just seems like it was written and performed by children which breaks the immersion so much.
    Even in the first "tutorial" part of the game - you meet a guy, talk to him - follow him into the next room and he suddenly says: "im going to leave you now, cause someone said to me, if you think someone is suspicious, you must leave them"... he then enters the next room and you both carry on like nothing happened... WTF.

    The combat is boring, its swing light attacks - unlock heavy attacks later on - they did try to spice it up with parkour attacks, but you have to block the attacks the perfect time - so all youre doing is waiting for that to happen and then get a few kicks in before youre back to blocking and tapping left mouse.
    I loved the first game, but I struggle to see both how this game is in any way an improvement - and how they have worked on it for so long.
    Ubisoft pumps **** like this out every year, its the same thing. Copy paste buildings and events and a world that feels dead around those "events"

    The developers simply deceived everyone with their trailers from E3 2018/2019, because the game does not have those smooth animations, gameplay mechanics, graphics and atmosphere that we were shown.

The animations are jelly, the combat is sluggish and boring, the graphics are too bright with this terrible enumeration of greens and yellows. It doesn't look realistic, I don't believe in this apocalypse, unlike the 1st game. It looks childish, not at all like at E3 demonstration.

    The main story looks like it was torn, swapped, then parts were removed and devs tried to mold what they could out of the remaining pieces... This is not Dying Light 2, this is a Ubisoft pipeline with towers, clearing outposts and other **** Have you been doing this for 7 years? It seems that for the last 2 years you have only cut, destroyed and spoiled everything that Chris Avellone brought into this game. Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 at its best. P.S. I'd have put you minus 10 score if I simply had an option for betraying Chris Avellone and trusting retarded feminist **** from Twitter. **** u Techland.

    Terrible, disgusting game, and the same terrible optimization, the developers also put Denuvo. And the main problem was that firearms were removed from the game, it feels like the action of the game takes place in the Stone Age.

    It's a game I've tried a lot, but I've never liked it. It's definitely not a game that fulfills what the producer promised. Unless the price drops as much as the first game, it's not worth buying and playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First time playing games from these devs. I am unlikely to get another one. It has potential, it could be fun BUT not only is the plot a bit silly, so much of the gameplay is very very poor. Your guy is supposed to be a parkour guru right? Wrong. He runs out of energy before he finishes climbing a ladder and then just lets go and falls into zombies. A lot of the things you're supposed to be able to climb but not, our guy sort of gives it a wee go and then kind of dangles about for a while until he is eaten by zombies. Speaking of zombies, they are EVERYWHERE! What so this city didn't think ever about trying to clear some places out a bit, build better walls and barricades, develop weapons that can do more than hit one at a time. Why are there no guns anywhere? Some stupid narrative about a massacre when people had to give their guns up is beyond stupid. Many people would have hidden them. The army convoys would have them, they would be ALL OVER THE PLACE. All types of firearms would be. So too body armour, helmets and most likely working vehicles- generators don't seem to have a problem. Having only a few minutes in the dark is plain stupid. I am getting seriously tired of apparent big games being so stupid and poor. I'm tired of critics being paid off. I'm tired of the gaming industry making a hash out of everything. IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD LITERALLY NOBODY GIVES A FLYING CRAP ABOUT YOUR GAY PRIDE FLAGS. Are you SERIOUS!!! Not a single French flag in sight but you know, the international flag of rainbow is here to stay. All of that crap would disappear in the face of just trying to NOT BE EATEN. Why is everybody such a dick? Gangs wandering the streets out to just murder somebody. They don't seem to mind the zombies literally 5 metres away either. COME ON GUYS!!! What a severe waste of money, wish I could refund it but a crap review will have to do. This is now the fourth 'big' game I have bought recently which has been an almost complete joke. Far out, there was a time where I didn't have enough money to get all the good games I wanted and now, I spend ages trying to find one and when I do, its this crap. Expand

    The missions in dark labs and all sorts of underground parking lots in DL2 are the best, but they are many times worse than the usual night in DL1 - and this is 6 years later.

    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.

    Dying Light 2 has proven to be a brilliant zombie game, thanks to the great parkour and combat mechanics. The story however is a bit flawed due to some really strange twists.

    There is fun to be had here, but aside from a few moments of joyous parkour, it's the sort of fun you can have in dozens of other open-world games. There is certainly some added fun in co-op with a couple of friends, but in a world where we get another open-world game every week, I just cannot recommend anyone go out and buy Dying Light 2 at full price. Especially not when it came out right before Horizon: Forbidden West and Elden Ring, both of which look far more promising.
