    A día de hoy un auténtico AAA en todos sus apartados. Graficazos con gran rendimiento, historia interesante con misiones variadas y entretenidas, misiones secundarias muy curradas, desarrollo de personajes de 10, jugabilidad muy conseguida y muuuuchas decenas de horas de juego.
    Y perfectamente doblado al español!!!
    Muy recomendable.

    Super fun survival horror game that has a deep story and an amazing open world environment. I think the parkour aspect is much better than in the original game and I really enjoyed the collecting aspects of the game. I think the ending battle was really a bit of a let down, especially compared to the rooftop ending in the first game. That being said, this is still a fantastic experience!

    In my opinion, Dying Light 2 has advanced quite a bit in the second game in terms of the boring gameplay, action and story of the first game. Personally, I played the game for 300 hours and finished it 4 times, 2 good endings and 2 bad endings.

    One of the greatest experiences overall. Each side is imperfect, but interconnected they deliver about 60-100 hours of fun. Parkour and level design are extremely satisfying, battles require great skills even after you fully upgraded the character, each move affects music, and the sky system gives you amazing vibes too.

    Quests are mostly "go there, do that", but motion in this game is

    There is something to be said for a game that offers a real challenge and for me, Dying Light 2 IS that game. The parkour is perfect, the missions while not great are passable, the NPC interactions not the best but still hold my attention to a degree. The add ons and DLC are good but really hoping for mor in the future.

    I understand the low average score, the game is too different from the original that people really loved.
    The game is much more "mainstream" now, much more generic single player game with quests, pointers on the map, ability upgrades, etc., which I happen to like, so for me it's a fine game, I you regard it a new game all together, it's actually quite good, I'd say 8/10. But as a Dying

    I love Dying Light franchise because there is so cool mix between fps-parkour and actions, pleasant rhythm and nice curve of complexity. Dying Light 2 combines best solutions from the first part and improve it. Love this game.

    The game jumps higher than it can achieve: too many twists, too many storylines, zero of them fully developed. But it has a wingsuit, the combat system is great, the parkour is outstanding, and the characters are memorable.

    100 hours, completed the game, and quite some side activities. Can recommend!

    The availability of a bad ending is always +1 to a final score of the game (it's kinda rare nowadays) especially when your choices during the whole game matter and change the surrounding world (hello to you Mr. Potter try to learn something from this game).

But it needs to admit that this game has a good start of the plot boring, protracted middle part, strong and interesting pre-ending/final part. Characters are also no so bad some of them make you laugh some can bring some drama and some of them you will hate (probably most of them but maybe it's just me XD). Core gameplay is still the same as in previous part except fact that some of abilities moved into skill tree some removed and so on (in general, the developers have made some changes, and each user can judge whether this is good or not.). The graphical part looks kinda the same (played the previous game a long time ago, but it seems that it is so) + ability to turn RTX and it works well. The last and most important aspect it's that you can complete the whole game (full main story) with your friends in the coop. Probably that last thing make the score doble increase (and bad ending) but it's another story XD Expand

    Worse than the prequel, but still it is a game that is worth playing. And of course, it is better than Days Gone

    The reason why most people hate this game is that it has a very uninspiring permise. It starts off by putting you in a ugly portion of the Old Villador city without giving you any idea about all the cool aspects of the game. But if you can make it past the first few hours then you will be amazed at how much this game has to offer.

I agree the main story is very confusing to follow with multiple characters who dont have much impact on you. But the game really shines in the parkour free roaming. There are tons of activities to do. There are no firearms which is part of the story. I would have given it a full 10/10 if it had gun wielding parkour gameplay! Expand

    This game is amazing. Graphics, gameplay, story etc. I think this game is too much better than the first game. I think if you like parkour games you will love this game.

    yaklaşık 30 saat sürüyor.
    harita ve mekan dizaynlarını çok iyi yapmışlar
    parkur elementlerini yapmak şehirde koşarak dolaşmak zevkli
    hikaye fena değil
    oyunda iyi olmayan şey karakter mimikleri felaket

    If you enjoyed the first game, you'll enjoy this one. Simple as that. Nothing game changing, just more of what made the first one so good - Parkour and Zombies. Hardcore Parkour!

    Don't understand hate over a game at all. It's one of the very rare examples that makes me quite upflited about the current state of the game industry.
    I can't finish this review thanks to broke Metacritics review engine and 404 error.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Прошёл игру за 21 час на концовку, в которой Эйден спас Лоан. Игра совсем не похожа на первую часть. Это уже совсем другая игра. Я не могу сказать, лучше она или хуже, ведь они разные. В 1 части лучше атмосфера, во 2 - паркур и rpg элементы. Но сюжет в обеих частях хорош. Expand

    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.
