    To start with, the RTX implementation is terrible in this game. With RTX on everything is just way too dark, some people will defend this by saying "Night is supposed to be dark", but even in daytime there are huge dark areas. There isn't enough bounce lighting at all, so putting all RTX options on so you can see the pretty reflections and light affects at the cost of about -60fps meansTo start with, the RTX implementation is terrible in this game.

    With RTX off, everything looks washed out and terrible.

    And then there are the character model shadows, jesus, dead island released over 10 years ago and they're still getting this wrong!!! Your guy walks around with his arms stretched out like Boris Karloff from the 1930's movie Frankenstein!

    And finally, the gameplay... it's trash... parkour is fun enough, but it's just another boring bloated open world that isn't exciting to explore and the rewards for doing so are just as uneventful. I'm sorry I spent the money on this game.    … Expand

    I am so sick of weird political propaganda in games. Also the quicktime events are annoying as hell, and the game is often frustrating because the parkour movement is all squirrelly.

    Awesome game. I was a big fan of Dying light 1 and Dying Light 2 does not disappoint. My immediate impressions of the game: gorgeous, cutting edge visuals. Huge improvement over Dying Light 2 but super taxing on the hardware. Nvidia 3060 and up is a must to experience the game in all its glory. Ray tracing is not a gimmick and it does deliver meaningful visual improvements in this game.Awesome game. I was a big fan of Dying light 1 and Dying Light 2 does not disappoint.

Nvidia 3060 and up is a must to experience the game in all its glory. Ray tracing is not a gimmick and it does deliver meaningful visual improvements in this game. So far the game is similar to Dying Light 1 in terms of exploration and combat. Zombies encounters are awesome so far. I love audio and music in the game. This game is nothing like Cyberpunk in terms of glitches when that game got released. There is nothing major to report. This game is definitely released in much more polished state. I cannot wait to sink in hours upon hours in this title. I highly recommended. I was lucky to save Epic Games coupon for Dying Light and saved $10 on this brand new release. 2022 started on a great note with this game. Thanks Techland for delivering awesome game to us and thank you Epic Games for releasing the game on day one and letting us use vouchers on brand new releases.… Expand

    Although it doesn't give the feel of the first game, it's an average game, the hitting feel and parkour mechanics are great, the story is poor in terms of dialogue and role-playing.

    I played more than 150 hours on PC. I see lots of bugs even with last patch 1.4.
    Storyline is really boring and stupid. I don't see any new content.
    I had to start new game twice because of bugs.
    Now I'm palying NG+. Enemy's level is very high and they kill me easily.

    Dying Light 2 presents a story mode that is a little bit longer, but with much less quality. There are many important characters that just appear in little fragments of the story, never to be seen again. The first Dying Light had less important characters but made more use of them, allowing you to actually care about them. Dying light 2 fails exponentially at that, since it doesn't give you enough time with the characters to actually care for them.

    The gameplay system is almost the same, but with little improvements (and new bugs, of course).

    The graphics are good, but the Vibe is far worse than the first Dying Light, since this had a sad almost dark vibe, and it was scary at night. This Dying Light 2 gives you a Fortnite vibe (even at night), with it's shiny colors everywhere.

    There is a ton of repetitive and insubstantial content to do, and you enjoy that type of void content, then by all means buy it, you'll enjoy it.
    Me, I always prefer quality over quantity, since time is much more precious than money, and I want to spend it right, and Dying Light 2 fails at that.    … Expand

    Лично мне игра понравилась 50/50. Если сравнивать с первой частью, то: Графика покруче, карта неимоверно классная, неплохая задумка с ингибиторами, паркур на высоком уровне. Добавили блоки в рукопашке, чего сильно не хватало в приквеле. Но сама боёвка, физика тел оставляет желать лучшего. NPC проговаривают одни и те же фразы, когда ты подходишь, что начинает уже подбешивать. Сюжет постноват, чем я огорчён. Techland не смогли нормально раскрыть персонажей, и та же смерть Фрэнка, которая должна была по задумке сценаристов вызвать грусть, на самом деле дала ноль эмоций. Добавили Русскую озвучку, но во многом карявую. Напившаяся Лоан разговаривала как трезвая, ОЧЕНЬ много мата, который в некоторых местах неуместен и абсурден. В некоторых моментах кажется, будто только актёр озвучки, чьим голосом говорит Эйден, выкладывается по полной, что нельзя сказать про всех. Продолжать этот список можно до бесконечности, но я могу лично от себя заявить, что это, во первых далеко не то, что нам показывали в старых трейлерах, где та же Лоан выглядит посимпатичнее, город выглядит по другому, а обещанные СОТНИ сюжетных выборов поделили на 10, и во вторых, это далеко не то, чего я ожидал. Я никоим образом не виню Techland за то, что они не умеют читать мысли, но можно было и получше постараться над сюжетом и NPC. За немалые семь лет можно было сотворить игру, схожую по крутости с RDR 2.
    Eng:
    Personally, I liked the game 50/50. If we compare with the first part, then: The graphics are cooler, the map is incredibly cool, a good idea with inhibitors, parkour at a high level. Added blocks in hand-to-hand combat, which were sorely lacking in the prequel. But the fight itself, the physics of bodies leaves much to be desired. NPCs say the same phrases when you approach, which is already starting to make you feel better. The plot is a little sparse, which upsets me. Teckland failed to properly reveal the characters, and the same death of Frank, which according to the idea of the writers was supposed to cause sadness, in fact did not cause any emotions. Added Russian voice acting, but largely free. Drunk Loan talked like a sober woman, a lot of mat, which is sometimes inappropriate and absurd. At some moments, it seems that only the voice actor, whose voice Aiden speaks, gives his best, which cannot be said about everyone. You can continue this list indefinitely, but I personally can say from myself that, firstly, it is far from what we were shown in the old trailers, where the same Loan looks more beautiful, the city looks different, and the promised HUNDREDS of plot options were divided into 10, and secondly, this is far from it what I expected. I don't blame Techland in any way for not being able to read minds, but it was possible to work better on the plot and the NPC. For a considerable seven years, we managed to create a game similar in steepness to RDR 2.    … Expand

    A bizarre step backwards for the Dying Light franchise. Parkour feels worse than the first, too many mechanics are cribbed verbatim from other games, there very little tension or horror, the previous game's terrible story somehow got even more terrible, and turning the entire experience into a grindy action RPG was simply misguided.

The characters aren't that compelling and, unless i'm a genius, the twists were very predictable. The music, while good, sounds like it could be in any other game or even movie with it not being too unique to Dying Light. The visuals are incredible and have a great grasp on the overgrown city look.

    The first game was far far better in those terms. Plus there a tons of bugs and glitches. And why the f does it have Raytracing and DLSS but no HDR?! But even then, some textures look like PS3

    The only thing that kept me from refunding the game is the cool gameplay mechanics and the world. This made me turn back to pirating and then buying the game if I like it since I couldn't refund the game after 2 hours anymore. Plus Denuvo kicks you out after 2 hours of play.

    Bugs and bugs and glitches, lame weapons system and none repairable options like the first game, zombies was sometimes standing up after you killed them even the human enemies did. Pretty boring story after all, co up didn’t work half the time, this game isn’t worth the money!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dying light was one of my favorite games in 2015 and an excellent fresh take on the otherwise, saturated zombie Genre. So it’s very understandable at how excited I was for the follow up sequel to a game I truly loved. After facing numerous delays since it’s announcement back in 2018, we were finally able to play the long awaited sequel, and I have to be honest, this sequel could’ve waited much, much longer!

    I have put in around 45 hours and completed my first play through.

    This game is marred with a plethora of issues that I will list As the following.
    1. Game progression only stays with the host
    2. Constant disconnects from the host
    3. Multiple times when My frame rate would drop below 20 fps even in the **** cutscenes 4. We would literally get stuck in rooms with sealed doors that are supposed to be open for us to proceed through the story
    4. Numerous crashes at integral parts of the game.
    5. Constantly getting stuck on random objects and wired collision detections
    6. ( my personal favorite) completing various missions only to be greeted by a black screen, when only the music would be playing, prompting us to restart the game sometimes 5-7 times just to get the **** to work right.

    And that’s just surface level stuff, not to mention they lack luster story that allows you to (change) certain aspects of the outcome of the game, which I didn’t feel really took advantage of that feature as much as the Devs drummed it up to be. The characters are uninspiring l, with the exception of 2 people in particular, and all in all, is two steps back from what made the original game such a beloved and fan favorite!

    I really hate the fact that I don't like the game but it is just so bad. As a big fan of DL1 I was pretty happy to finally play the sequel. However after playing it for around 30 hours I have to say that it is totally underwhelming.

    Movement: In contrast to what mainstream media is saying I truly don't like the new movement at all. It feels very clumsy unprecise and slow. I get that    I really hate the fact that I don't like the game but it is just so bad. As a big fan of DL1 I was pretty happy to finally play the sequel. However after playing it for around 30 hours I have to say that it is totally underwhelming.

    Movement:
    In contrast to what mainstream media is saying I truly don't like the new movement at all. It feels very clumsy unprecise and slow. I get that you have to level up to increase your stamina but even now after I leveled up a lot it still does not feel close as good as the prequel.

    Fighting:
    Also fighting is a big downgrade. In DL1 fighting was a very satisfying part of the game. When you hit an enemy your attack had a lot of impact. You were able to aim for particular body parts e.g. breaking legs to make your opponent fall on the ground or instantly go for the neck to cut the zombies head off. Now fighting feels like you are swinging a wooden stick on a huge rock. Enemies don't react as satisfying as they used to. You don't receive as much feedback of what part of the body you've hit anymore, hitboxes are really bad and weapons don't feel unique and strong anymore. There are still mods but they are not as interesting anymore when it comes to names, effects and optical modifications of the weapon. Fighting without a weapon is not really an option anymore. In DL1 you were able to dropkick or kick your enemy on the ground and then use a skill to jump on the enemies head to instantly kill your opponent very effectively and satisfying. The dropkick is also available in the sequel but is not nearly as good as it used to be. I actually had many times where my dropkick directly hit a zombie but had no impact at all. And even if the dropkick knocks down an opponent he will stand up before you can stand up yourself. Kicking is an almost useless skill that doesn't do much anymore. I've never made a zombie enemy fall on the ground with the normal kick in the game. It seems like this is not an option anymore. Overall this reasons made me try to dodge as many fights with zombies as I could and beeing really annoyed when I actually had to fight them. This is a shame if you keep in mind how fun it used to be in the prequel.

    Bugs and glitches:
    Another really big part are the bugs. Enemys AI is really bad. Their movement e.g. climbing up vehicles is totally glitched and there are also bugs like dead zombies floating on the ground following you and attacking you and things like that. Coop does work but is also totally bugged. When I see chests to open sometimes my friends don't see them. Enemies are invisible or just standing still for one player while the other one can see them fighting. Parts of the world (e.g. bounce pads) are not visible for some players while others can see them.

    Quests and Characters:
    The quests are really really boring and not close as good as masterpieces like the Tolga and Fatin quests. Most of the quests are repetitive and boring and have a seemingly never ending really stupid and unnecessary conversation in it. There are even quests that have no sense at all like a monk that tells you that his fish were stolen but you should not do anything about it and he just wants to talk and thats it - quest done... Another quest was two women who were fighting if they should use water for plants or for washing their hair. You pick one side and thats it. Nothing else. Characters are written very stereotypical without any depth or humour.

    Weird RPG-Features
    Another very weird part of the game is the poor try to implement somewhat RPG-elements. You can find clothes, shoes, gloves hats etc. that not only increase your armor but also support other attributes and classes. Yes you heared right. There are different classes now that are not explained or anything but just there. None of my friends were interested to actually read through all of this stuff and wanted to have this much depth in such an uninteresting part of the game that does not fit to the rest of the game at all. Also weapons are not repairable anymore except you put a very expensive upgrade in your weapon you get pretty late in the game.

    To me this game is a massive fail and a downgrade in every segment compared to the prequel. It doesn't feel finished and overall many concepts have been implemented in the game that better shouldn't have. Compared to the prequel It lost its great fighting mechanics and its movement. After 30 hours of playing I am still waiting for the fun part of the game. I start to believe I wont find it. As a full price title this does not deserve more than a disapointing 3/10.    … Expand

    In some ways a step back from the first game, but definitely improved in others. If you enjoyed the first game you'll no doubt enjoy the second, but it's different. Techland have promised 5 years of support, and I fully expect them to deliver on that as they did with the first game, which improved massively over the years.

Now it's stiff and unnatural and overall dissapointing.

    This is an open world first person zombie game that took me about 20 hours to complete, and can be played wit up to 4 players co op… Youre a night runner, youre infected early on in the game which adds a layer of tenseness to the game which I loved, Theres a timer when youre in buildings or running around at night that have hav to keep filled with UV lights or the the sun so you don’t turn into a zombie.. this mechanic was never annoying.. in fact I never ran out of time, but I appreciate the level of immersion there… bevasue sadly this mechanic is where the immersion ends.. Like the original Dying light the world here just doesn’t feel lived in… it’s a mess zombie playground but even more lifeless than last time.. .a generic game world feel rather than again feeling like a world that used ti be brimming with life… I did love exploring the buildings during the main story missions, but nothing ever enticed me to seek things out on my own.. no addictive hook when it came to loot as every weapon breaks, theres nothing cool to find in this world, so why bother? Why not just stick to this super boring story? Which is what I did… One thing Dying Light 2 improved on is the flow of the parquor… It still needs works, its still frustrating at times, but it miles better than the original… and the combat is great too.. I loved getting into fights with my modded weapons, however the enemies this time around feel kind of brainless and just in the way rather than a threat like the past game.. and my biggest complaing.. I absolutely hated the second half of the game… running around in Dying Light 2 just isn’t fun… its not.. I feel like Im the only person who feels this way and I have no idea how.. I died more trying to get from point a to b, than I did the enemies once I finally got to the mission…
    I would love a more mirrors edge / modern assins creed style system in the future because I dreaded having to run through this city in the second half.. I didn’t mind the first half of the game where building were low and close like an old school assassins creed game, but the larger city.. awful…
    Overall Dying Light 2 is a fine game, its good, the combat is great, but the loot system is a disappointment and the story is just bad, it is.. I was non invested in the world at all…
    Youll have fun going through the campaign, its just a shame nothing in the world entices you to explore or to care…

    Normally I would give this game solid 8/10 . But seeing negative review bombing and complaining about "No Italian dub" or "denuvo" as excuse just makes me feel bad for techland.

    Anyway time for review. - Parkour, movement and locations. : It is an absolute championship. I am of the opinion that even if you have never played the first part, it is worth buying Dying Light 2 just for    Normally I would give this game solid 8/10 . But seeing negative review bombing and complaining about "No Italian dub" or "denuvo" as excuse just makes me feel bad for techland.

    Anyway time for review.

    - Parkour, movement and locations. :
    It is an absolute championship. I am of the opinion that even if you have never played the first part, it is worth buying Dying Light 2 just for getting around the city. The locations have been designed 100% with Aiden and the way he will travel through the city in mind. The animations are a masterpiece. A ton of opportunities to get into different points + skills that deepen our possibilities and I'm not just talking about boring statistics like + 10% stamina, but about new animations or tools. Parkour in this game is a benchmark for other studios. If one day another group of Developers decides to hit this topic, they will be compared to this particular game. 11/10.

    -Combat :
    An aspect that has been greatly improved compared to Dying Light 1. Sure, the fight with zombies was solid and a lot of fun, it's people ... people were downright unfair. Dying Light 2 fixes this aspect completely. Balance changed. Animations. Our enemies' reactions. New skills and weapons have been added (eg Throwing Spears.). A gore. Ha! Cutting off limbs, a ton of blood, uncensored brutality! Honey and raspberry. I do not remember when I had so much fun fighting with melee weapons (firearms here, it is even explained in the plot). In other words, Techland just added nothing, or even improved this aspect of the game, which was one of the most important in the first game after all.

    - Graphics and Audio design. :
    Solid work. Nothing to add. Nothing less. In places the game just took my breath away. The moment we see the city for the first time is unforgettable. One of the best moments in the game is when we simply stop for a moment on the roof of a skyscraper and start admiring the amazing views and a huge render distance. It sounds the same. The soundtrack fits perfectly. Music can pump up adrenaline during night escapes, and the sounds of the surroundings and ambient are very well made. The blows, the sounds of weapons and the sounds of breaking bones are also very neat. A solid job.

    - Stability and optimization. :
    I have a fairly powerful machine, but not the best. RTX 2080 Super, 16 GB Ram and i9 processor. And what is the effect? 0 crashes. Very rare FPS drops at max settings at 1080p and no ray tracing. As for these drops, they were really minimal. 5 fps, literally at the moments when hell was happening on the screen. The graphics card did not overheat. Everything worked as it should. Again, a solid job by Techland.

    - Characters and story. :
    Unfortunately, I have to complain here. The plot is very boring. The same goes for almost every character we encounter. If you've ever had or had contact with a story set in post-apo, no matter if it's in a book, movie or other game, Dying Light 2 will seem very familiar to you. We find a ton of film here. Betrayals, cheats and similar drama ... but on the other hand I'm not very angry with Dying Light 2. I'm a gamer who loves good stories and characters. I spent almost 2,480 hours in The Witcher 3. BUT Dying Light 1 didn't have a good story either, people loved the first part for the great Gameplay loop and you can see that Techland bet on that ... or they just can't write a good story: D Yes or anyway, that's a problem, but it doesn't kill the fun of the game. It's just that if you are looking for a plot and you want to focus on it, Dying Light 2 will let you down a lot. Unfortunately, in this aspect, nothing has been improved in relation to the first part.

    - Decisions and choices. :
    Wow. Here Techland showed its claw. The plot is weak, yeah. Characters suck, yes. But the differences he gets in making decisions are really big. Do you remember The Witcher 2? We have something very similar here. Maybe not on such a large scale due to the weaker storyline, but it's close. Two or even three people will have a completely different Quest experience. Other character reactions. A different look of the city. Other available tasks. Great thing! This encourages you to make a lot of transitions and spend even more time with the game.

    - Open world activities. :
    We have loot spots that are only accessible at night (great, I recommend the subway tunnels at night.). Unlockable hideouts. Special climbing towers (which are even puzzles). Bandit bases to conquer. Collectibles. All kinds of time challenges. Generally, there is a lot of it. The map is large and packed with activities. Combined with various decisions, we have HUNDREDS hours to drown here to complete the game 100%.

    - Bugs: Honestly didn't found much of them. There was a little texture flashing or ragdolls having a spasm, but overall nothing major.

    Phew. A lot of this :D But I think I touched on the most important aspects of Dying Light 2. Thats my review.    … Expand

    The 8 year old original is far better in almost every way. This game is genuinely terrible, mind-numingly boring and I never want to touch it again. It's like the worst culmination of every ubi-esque open world trope. Pointless copy paste objectives, terrible loot for completing said objectives, a bunch of numbers that are mostly meaningless on every piece of gear you pick up and so on.The 8 year old original is far better in almost every way.

    My biggest issue with this game is that combat just feels so bad. Its like you're hitting zombies with wet pool noodles. There's no impact, and basically every zombie in the game can take upwards of 5 hits to kill with decent weapons. It's also a surprisingly ugly game. The weapon designs are all just different lumps of metal, character models are just kind of bad and the world is just one big green/brown splodge.

    On top of this they launched the game with non-accessible features FORCED ON, like chromatic aberration and a ridiculous amount head bob. Unacceptable at this point to not have options to turn these off. I had to turn to mods on launch day to even be able to play the damn thing.

    In summation, I genuinely believe nearly every aspect of this game is a downgrade from the first. And areas where its not necessarily a downgrade, they didn't learn from the first. Like the god awful story and writing, which is as laughably bad as the first, but doesn't have the fun gameplay to carry it. Just don't buy it...    … Expand

    Los zombies son nulos la mayor parte del tiempo no atacan en casi ningún momento fuera de una misión
    La mecánica de la noche es forzada y no tiene un uso real que invite a compenetrarse con ella se repite una y otra vez "ve por la noche" por más que puedas hacer la misión en este momento que es de día con las mismas complicaciones que son casi nulas como dije antes El diseño de personajes está basado en un libro para nenes de 5 años como máximo, no tienen profundidad y son igual de chatos que una hoja, en cuanto al diseño visual de estos es igual de nulo y vacío, no invita a compenetrarse ni generar sentimientos con nadie, la interacción con la ciudad es NULA ayudar a los supervivientes se Basa en las mejoras que te dan y no en la conveniencia que creas correcta para la historia
    Unos ponen trampas y otros ayudas para el parkour solo te enfocas en eso y nada de la historia
    La búsqueda de alargar la historia es en base a agregar más enemigos que spawnean a tus espaldas y ya

    I'm sorry for other Italians review bombing the game because they can't put 1+1 together. It's not a 10 but it's an extremely fun game, 7,5/8 maybe. The story is pretty bad but sidemissions are interesting, the parkour is amazing with it's combos and the combat is... well, not really balanced but fun enough.

City is desiged fantastic, parkour is very smooth and dynamic, intuitive but not automatic - easy to play, hard to master. Thqt is this one element of the game that I can call perfect. Combat is also great, brutal, satisfying and fun. Game gives uou a lot of tools and ways to kill your enemies. It is fantastic, but just a little bit unbalanced so I cant say that it is as perfect as parkour. Plot is not great but fine, it's nice that even simple quest have a little bit of plot that is making it more interesting. Graphic is not special and amazing, but I cant call it ugly. Optimization is fine, not perfect but definitely not bad. Especially if you have RTX GPU - performance with DLSS is absolutely amazing. Dying Light 2 is a mix of Dying Light 1, Ubi-game and The Witcher and I'm telling you, this shake is delicious.

    This game is not perfect. My first problem here is repetition of activity. There are many momenta int this game when you can smell copy and paste move. And the second issue - game is just not scary and too easy. There is no fighting for surviving. There is a lot of loot...everywhere. You can craft your own, med kit but I have never done that because I found so many of it while exploring the map, sadly it is also very easy to avoid infected, so there is not so many tension for most of the game.

    Beside that, the game is very very fun and well made. Dying Light deserve 8,5/10. It's definitely worth playing. I'm giving a 10 to help fighting with trolls on Metaxritic    … Expand

    Great game. This game improves on a lot of things from the first one but also takes a step back in some other areas. Especially the physics and ragdolls.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK, so, I have mixed feelings about this game. Ultimately, yes, I'd recommend it to people, but with a few caveats:

    1. The story. It's dull, boring, and I just didn't feel drawn in by any of the character stories.

    2. I hate how the relationship with Lawan is forced on me. It was forced intimacy, did not feel natural, and was quite frequently annoying. I don't give an eff about Lawan. I think that having any kind of relationship with her, as friends or otherwise, should be optional. But the game forces your hand. And why? Because they got a big name actress to voice the character?

    3. They recently made it so that the survivor NPCs can revive you if you go down. But then they stare at your blankly, soullessly, as they pick you up. It would be cool if they said something like "you OK there buddy?" or "whoa, it's OK, I got you" or "try to be more careful next time". But no. Dead soulless eyes,

    4. It feels like nearly all the side quests are just parkour challenges. Which are fun, don't get me wrong, but it would have been cool if there were more quests that allowed me to get to know the survivors and PKs more as people.

    5. I got the ending where I saved Mia, and saved Lawan instead of letting her destroy the missiles. This entire game Aiden was going on and on about needing to find Mia, find his sister. And in the end? Nothing. It just goes to a black screen, and tells me that half the city was destroyed, and Aiden just leaves because he's turning and doesn't want to hurt people anymore. OK, but... What happened to Mia? What happened to Hakon? What happened to Lawan? What happened to Waltz? What happened to the city? Like, where is the story behind everything? How can you expect me to be so invested in a world when the writers can't even come up with something, anything, to tie everything together? It was so rushed and sloppy and had the overall feel of laziness.

    6. It's buggy. Like, really buggy. Have had to restart the game multiple times.

    7. The characters talk on for forever. And it isn't about anything that let's you get to know them or is pertinent to the quest or game. It's just inane rambling. Which, I guess is realistic, given that there's an apocalypse going on and they are starved for human interaction.

    I'm just a little frustrated. There was so much potential with this game, and after finishing it last night, I feel really let down. Again, I'd still recommend the game, but if you are expecting it to be anything like the first game, you are really going to be super disappointed.    … Expand

    DL2 is not a 10 but you have to compensate for the amounts of unfair 0s in Metacritic.

    While the narrative is not the best, some animations are worse than DL1 and not the best optimization this game is still a must play with tons of hours to get lost in this post apocalyptic world.

    RDR2 has a 6.4 in Metacritic, just saying.

    After 50 hours played in this game it's hard to recommend buying it. A lot of things is worse than Dying Light 1, DL1 had better combat, better weapons, better HUD, better zombie behavior and physics, better abilities. Story is better then DL1, but this doesn't mean is good, first half of the game was okay and enjoyable, but after 25-30 hours... OMG, I sat with facepalm the whole epilogue.After 50 hours played in this game it's hard to recommend buying it.

Story is better then DL1, but this doesn't mean is good, first half of the game was okay and enjoyable, but after 25-30 hours... OMG, I sat with facepalm the whole epilogue. No emotion towards the characters, I just don't care if someone dies or not, the script feels very cut and weak. It looks like it was rushed after Chris Avellone's departure, I will say for me, the main problem of the game is the story (is very bad).
    The graphics look like a game from 2015 some times, not 2022. Draw distance is good, but textures definitely from 2015, graphics for me is not most important and that's why we can skip this issue, I just mentioned this detail about the graphics being poor for a 2022 AAA project.
    They say "Your choices matter", meeeh, not really matter because you don't care, don't think will be like at E3 trailer, off course you have some choices, but they are mediocre. You can choose between 2 sides you want to help. Survivors and Peace Keepers, both are stupid idiots you don't wanna help, one looks like beggars and the other like paintball kids playing soldiers.
    What I like in DL2 is parkour, I really enjoy running in this game, you can climb almost anywhere you want, it's just fun, verticality is made almost perfect. But the whole city looks so similar that I feel like I've been everywhere, even if it's a new location, especially in enclosed places like apartments...
    Also it's a copy past of the last Ubisoft games, plus have a mix from different games also. I don't know how do describe this game, Action RPG or just looting RPG, because the whole game you just loot, loot and loot, press F on everything, I play on hard and I grind a LOT.
    And I can go on and on about cons in DL2, like repetitive gameplay, bugs, Denuvo, lies in trailers, extremely little attention to optimization, lack of variety of monsters, weak enemy AI, repetitive side content. We were given a Raw, unoptimised and storyline-weak product - handed out as if it were finished.

    If you like DL1 and wanna play the second one, just wait for big discount and more patches. But what about more patches I don't know, because instead of fixing it they releasing "Free DLC", what is sound good, but is not, it's just some clothes and weapons. Techland, just fix this GAME!!!

Staging at a height. In general, this part remains the same DL but in a new, fresher wrapper. Some moments were very predictable, hi, but in general it did not affect my overall impression in any way.

    Parkour has become more energetic, more diverse, this magic hook no longer exists, with the help of which you could save your life by jumping, for example, from the Bracken tower with a pike down...But it is not clear why it is impossible to pull up on the hook now? Is Aiden so principled or stupid?

    The final words in the dialogues are often swallowed, but this is not critical.
    I don't understand the new loot system, why give up what was good? - yes, things have appeared and it's interesting, but why can't some things and weapons EVEN be sold to a merchant? Why can't this junk be disassembled? I hope this will be finalized in the future.

    The skill branch - Yes, so far it is much "meager" than the one available in the full edition of Dying Light 1, but it's not even about quantity, but about quality - most of the skills just moved from the last part, seriously? couldn't you make the branch more diverse? In general, I was not surprised by anything. And where are the drawings of the weapons damn? Why are there only useless drawings of all sorts of herbs and bombs in the craft?? Bring CRAFTING back into the GAME!!For 66 hours, I have never crafted bombs or herbs because I needed them, it's all falling around perfectly. In the lead of this, the LATEST crafting system is just the STUPIDEST.
    After completing the game and completing all the activities, you only have to wander at night and knock out tokens for pumping useless drawings of unnecessary items. This is very upsetting...

    Without any problems, I passed the game at a high level of difficulty, almost "pumping out" the entire branch and stupidly with a purple weapon in my hand. Of the minuses, I can also add the uniformity of most streets and shops. For example, I found a collector's graffiti on the corner of the wall, after a couple of hours I stumble upon something similar and thought so I already took it, but no, this is a new graffiti. It's even worse with shops and premises where there are VGM boxes, these are almost identical pavilions in which furniture can simply be located differently (and even then not always). The variety of enemies is the same, there is no one new from the zombie unit. And there are about four kinds of people in general.

    But let me remind you that at the beginning I already wrote that this is the same DL but in a new wrapper with a horse price tag and so far a poor crafting and pumping system.

    In general, I liked the game and I hope for its support for a long time. Thank you for the game AND SEPARATELY FOR THE FULL LOCALIZATION.    … 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.

    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.
