    Probably best open world map and traverse mechanics. Impressive story variety. Sometimes cut scenes don't fit your story branch and there are a bunch of bugs and downgrades, but nothing that can't be fixed with patches. I suggest playing at least a year after release, you will probably enjoy it.

    I really don't get why it currently has 4.2 user score here on Metacritic. Yes, there are some glitches and yes, the story/decision aspect is not the best, but the parkour gameplay, fighting, atmosphere and the city itself are all awesome. And even after 50 hours I still haven't done everything i want. Money well spent.

    Who waits the first game? An old and warm.
    You can cool down. It's not a previous game. It's just other game with the same name.
    Is this game bad? No.
    Is this game good? No.

    This game is very casual and very mediocre. A scary tale without tale and horror.

    With many more tools and attributes to use, it seems like Techland took a good risk in adding new features. New in game features are fun and refreshing, the developers took the original concept and added gameplay that is more immersive and story driven than the first game. The story missions (as well as the side missions) are more narrative based, creating a dramatic and reactionary environment.

    A literal downgrade on the first game, everything apart from maybe the graphics are just worse.. Combat is the worst part, doesn't feel as satisfying as the first, way more boring and repetitive, what a shame.

    Quite good game with a few bugs here and there but none game-breaking for me!
    If you are worried about the bugs hold off and wait a bit before hitting the buy button.

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    … Expand

    Dying Light 2: Mobile

    JFYI I haven't played first game yet. Well long story short this game is pretyy simple time killer like typical mobile game. Almost all of us play mobile games and we like them for killing our time in transport, on lunchbreaks, or booring meetings and that's why you can see so many positive reviews, because it's mobile impostor on PC. Visual (7/10) So visual -    Dying Light 2: Mobile

    JFYI I haven't played first game yet. Well long story short this game is pretyy simple time killer like typical mobile game. Almost all of us play mobile games and we like them for killing our time in transport, on lunchbreaks, or booring meetings and that's why you can see so many positive reviews, because it's mobile impostor on PC.

    Visual (7/10) So visual - graphics is great, everything looking fine for me, but you can still face with fps issues and lots of bugs with textures and it's really annoying. I like music, main theme is great and empower me for fights and long night runs. I don't like in game interface - it's too heavy and ambiguos, you will see that for real fun(punching zombie faces) you don't need 70% of different items, menus, collectables and other text info. So I believe it can be simplified.

    Gameplay (7/10) Ok. gameplay is really fun (for firsth 10 hours), but then you understand that to get fun you need to grind levels and zombies. Annnd still no fun, because game is easy, no coop, no interesting zombies or situations. But the game imitates that it has a lot of content, and you go do the same things and waiting for something new, but behind the scene and 300+ hours to complete all game is nothing. It's similar to Ubisoft open-grind world games, but even in Ubisoft games you can get something interesting from grinding, this game is just kills your time. Just a small example - in one side quest small girl goes to enemy nest to get most valuable thing of her life, when you help her, she just give this thing to you sayng: "I don't need it anymore, bye" So I feel myself playing average mobile zombie game, not the game trying to AAA title.

    Story (5/10) Weakest part of the game. In general story is boring and for me it reminds metro last light, so whole game I feel like, I already see this, nothing new here, lets go investigate world. Characters - I don't like characters, they all are - we are family, one for one, but in next scene they kill each other and you can go with other guys, so no one notice. So characters are not working, because you have choices that have only less influence on others and for me it feels very pathetic.

    So all in all it's a average SINGLEPLAYER PC game, don't spend your time, unless you like zombies, or like mobile grinding.    … Expand

    I played 64 hours in Dying Light 2, walkthrough storyline twice, and it's one of the most controversial games I ever played.
    Storyline.
    The storyline is garbage, literally. All characters lines are not-finished, the fate of secondary characters I found out only on the second walkthrough by accident, and it happens once, other characters fates will be tellen you by call, and that is    I played 64 hours in Dying Light 2, walkthrough storyline twice, and it's one of the most controversial games I ever played.
    Storyline.
    The storyline is garbage, literally. All characters lines are not-finished, the fate of secondary characters I found out only on the second walkthrough by accident, and it happens once, other characters fates will be tellen you by call, and that is ridiculous.
    Both fractions look like lazy scums, none of them I can't emphasize at all, but for some unknown reason one side is "right" the other is "wrong" no matter of its sanity.
    So all the time through the story, questions like "why?" and "what?!" popped up in my mind until I forced myself not to think of what happens after several first missions.
    And then I focused on gameplay, which is strange. Parkour at first without upgrades is difficult, and sometimes not fun.
    Some basic things that should be available at the start (we are pilgrim common!) are under a perk tree.
    So the first half of the game I tried to achieve it, and second half then I got a hook, and parachute it's become useless most of the time, cause thanks to hook, with a lot of stamina you'll become a spider-man!
    Locations.
    Locations and their design are gorgeous at first impression, but in the middle of the first location, you start to understand that most of the buildings are the same, and you can't navigate without a map even after 5-6 hours of gameplay and instant run back-forward.
    Central-loop is much more interesting, cause it's more vertical and diverse in the case of movements, but still, I find myself always open-up maps to find out where I need to run, cause all buildings mostly feel the same, and those which stand out and could be memorable, placed on the edge of the city.
    Weapon.
    It's nice, but till you got crossbow or basic bow, and after some point of the game I find such powerful weapon that I ain't change it till the end of the game. Most of it, a skill that gives you hit enemies by legs from the jump is killed everyone from several repeats. So any bow and that skill become a solution for most fights from almost the start of the Central Loop part.
    Upgrades.
    Only on the second walkthrough did I get to know that I can upgrade almost everything, but then I also reveals exactly for it I need rare trophies and understands how much time I need to hunt and loot for it, I drop that idea and never upgrades anything. (especially if you with peace walkers and get crossbow)
    As a result.
    It's a raw game, pretty raw, maybe even unbalanced sometimes, with a ton of grind, and I spent there a lot of time.
    Don't have any reasons why, but it was quite fun (not least because of stories ridiculous moments), and maybe more important for me, quite relaxed gameplay that I could experience on my own after a work day.
    Wish developers to fix all bugs, a balance that is unbalanced, and hopefully reveal the plot more clearly and fully through DLC, side-missions and etc.

    This game could, and should be, much better.

    Dying Light 2 has experience a very bumpy PC release, with major issues like crashes, not being able to launch the game, getting stuck into a death-loop that, for some of those who experience it, has taken like two weeks to get fixed, if not more. Then we also have the absolutely terrible Keybind settings this game has released with, which    This game could, and should be, much better.

    Dying Light 2 has experience a very bumpy PC release, with major issues like crashes, not being able to launch the game, getting stuck into a death-loop that, for some of those who experience it, has taken like two weeks to get fixed, if not more.

    Then we also have the absolutely terrible Keybind settings this game has released with, which as of the day of writing this review, Feb 17th, and Patch 1.0.6, has been quite improved and we only have a couple of keys and actions still hardcoded (like Mouse Wheel up/Down, or the F key for the Stomp skill, still hardcoded), a much better situation than a few weeks ago where almost everything was hardcoded.

    It is still inexcusable to launch a PC game with such huge Keybind issues, and I ended up finishing the game mostly playing with my Dualshock 4 gamepad, because the alternative was to make a custom Mouse and Keyboard profile with like 20 keys remapped or more, to make them match with the actual hardcoded keys in the game.

    On the Performance side of things, this game runs pretty decently on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, especially without Raytracing, there are no performance issues on regular settings, and it performs smoothly at any resolution ranging from 1080p to 1620p DLDSR, even at 4K with the help of DLSS, I can get a bit over 60 FPS at that resolution, and the game still looks decent even when it’s not using RT.

    Now, with RT enabled, the game looks quite fantastic, for such an open world design, mostly thanks to RT Global Illumination and RT Ambient Occlusion, but I believe it suffers from issues regarding how it manages memory allocation and most people are experiencing huge performance degradation when RT is used, after some time playing, even those with the beefy RTX 3090, which has lots of VRAM to spare, so definitely something odd is going on for now.
    This issue hasn’t been addressed yet and it would be a shame they didn’t, because the vast array of different types of setups I’ve read on the forums, that it is affected, is too spread to consider it an isolated issue.

    I’ve had this issue happen to me randomly, especially when certain cutscenes trigger, when right up to that moment, the game was running at 70-80 FPS with all Raytracing settings enabled.
    Furthermore, in my case at least, my GPU usage stays at 100% when this performance degradation occurs, it doesn’t drop so I hardly think it’s a CPU related issue.

    When it comes to the gameplay itself, the game offers some new ways to traverse the environments, the most notable one being the Paraglider, which is quite fun and nice to use.
    For combat mechanics, we’re mostly still using melee weapons, like in the first game, but we also have some ranged options like bows / crossbow.

    Although, in my opinion, some of the physics we could see in the first game have been simplified for DL2, or totally missing actually, but I believe it’s a known issue and it will be improved.

    Environments look quite detailed but the game suffers from too much copy-pasted locations, especially evident for the GRE quarantine areas, and most apartment buildings we can explore or where we go for certain secondary quests. This is very disappointing, and I would rather have less GRE areas but each one being an unique, spooky, mysterious quarantine area with its own sub story, rather than “go there at night, look stuff located basically always on the same rooms, or similar placements, then grab the audio cassette from the doctor…go outside”. That was really bad, it’s fine for one or two, but all of the GRE areas in the game are clones of each other, quite bad design if you ask me.

    Characters look decently animated, and textured, I have no issues with them, but most of the writing for many of them is quite average, like it’s obvious this game suffered from changes in the writing team a few years back, and something is missing or had to be changed.

    I have no doubts stuff will be added for expansions but, as it is right now, I can only bump the score from my original, provisional review, to around a 6.5/10, will give it 7 here to round it up and that’s being generous.

    There is a lot of potential in this title, but it was not realized for release, but I hope in a year or so it’s a much better game.    … Expand

    Dying Light 2 is honestly a game i waited to play since they announced it way back when
    the first game was such a blast to play and this game is a huge improvement but still kind of lacking

    the first game was such a blast to play and this game is a huge improvement but still kind of lacking

    pros:

    - the game looks gorgeous everything looks really really good

    - the whole map design is superb everything feels like it was made for you to play with and parkour on

    - everything is open including the apartments and other buildings you can enter any building you want scavenge anything and get out

    - they improved the whole night day gameplay where in the day there are barely any zombies and you can move freely wherever you want but cant find any resources since they are hidden in building where zombies sleep and in the night the building with the vast amount of recourses are empty but it is very hard to get there because of the stupid amount of zombies out side

    - the improved combat with bandits is a warm welcome unlike dying light 1 you actually have to really fight block and dodge the bandits and raiders and not just 1 shot them

    - there is a lot of things to do in the game building to explore camps to overtake and parkour challenges to do i find myself a bit overwhelmed in the good way even after 32 hours of gameplay

    - the music is not the best but still good and immerses you enough to really feel out the game

    - a lot more zombies types and cool zombie bosses

    - they took out the guns which in my opinion is an awesome thing because they did make the first game a lot easier

    - the adding of levels and recourse management gave me a lot of stalker vibes you really need to go and search for stuff for upgrades and crafting and most of the time you cant just wing it without the whole search and craft shindig

    - although they added legendary and common items and a level system that can destroy some games *ahem ac ahem* this game makes it so much easier for you to get legendary weapons gear and level up as long as you explore the world the game will reward you handsomely with cool sht

    they added 4 player co op and the armor you find has different build so you can have a full party of 4 friends where each one is a different class such as tank healer dps stealth
    which in my opinion the best thing they added in the game

    cons:

    - the game is stupidly buggy i would suggest for a lot of people to wait for the patches
    how buggy you ask ? i had to improvise with my glider to get to the top of the windmills just because the parkour there wouldn't work and bug out

    - the story is a big garbage dump even after they focused on making it better with the whole choose your story tale tale style it was still bad and they should have made a 15 hour generic story and focus a lot more on the gameplay and the open world

    - the map feels big and small at the same time you have the tutorial small area and the skyscraper big area and even after i explored everything it felt as if there should have been more

    - the whole choose which faction to support is stupidly ridiculous because one faction has cool weapons and improves your chance against zombies and the other just gives more parkour options really just should have gave you everything and as I said focus on making the gameplay better instead of the whole choose your thing

    - the glider like the buggy in the following ruined the game for me because yeah its fun and all but why not make a bigger area with more parkour options why is there always a gimmick yes the scorpion rope is cool and adds a new layer to platforming but why should i you use it when you can just glide there ? in my opinion the second they add a gimmick way to travers it ruins the whole point of a parkour game

    - a lot of story bull@#% like for example your character unlocks a power of sorts but only uses it in story missions and you don't get to use it in the open world and i bet they'll add it in some sort of dlc pack

    - the immunity system where you are limited by a timer to go out in the night is cool on paper but is done very poorly in the game because you can just stack like 60 immunity boosters (which are very easy to find)
    and just survive the night as if there wasn't a timer in the first place

    in conclusion the game only really starts to get fun after you finish the goofy stereotypical story and start to explore look around and find cool gear and missions i had my fun with the game and i do recommend it even more on co op and yes i do think zombie games need to die out but this one was just dumb fun (not counting the story of course)
    but as of now the game is really unstable and in dire need of fixes and patches so for now i give this game a 7 out of 10 and after they fix it and if you play it in co op an easy 8 out of 10    … 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.    … Expand

    - main story is very good. Side quest are usually acceptable but parkour time challenges are really bad (not all). There should be only boards or some more bets quest, other competitors, training sessions,... "Delivery of sugar" quests are bad. Electricity for goat - also very bad.
    - optimization - not bad if u find some DLSS like options. By default are disabled. Its the first game i've played RTX with more pleasure than without. I have most of time 50-70fps with 2K, raytracing standard + DLSS performance, RTX 2070S + i7 7700
    - bugs - there is a lot minor for example wrong candle fire attachment and more serious: game needs to restart after few situations. Most probable situation: loading/unloading surroundings of Fish Eye after night chase. With that framerate could have constant 20fps and game is unplayable. Sometimes it's just few seconds and good framerate is back. Game has no load screens and it saves lot of my time but it would be more annoying to restart when its multiplayer mode. Maybe that performance leaks are reason to not give us better rag dolls and other goodies.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is super fun, but has some glaring issues. This game is a major improvement over the first Dying Light. Parkour feels better, combat feels better (especially against humans), the scale has massively increased as the starting area and big city are quite large areas to explore, the story while still not being very good is also better than the first games. The branching story lines and more rpg elements is also a good improvement and can play a major role in the way the story ends.

    One issue I have with this game is the bugs. Overall most of my playthrough was pretty smooth with minor bugs here and there like dialogue getting stuck for a second or weird animations here and there nothing game breaking, but this changed after I beat the main story. Dear god I have no idea what happened after I beat this game, but it feels like the game engine fell apart as soon as I beat it. A part of the story is that the city gets bombed at a certain point and it destroys some buildings and creates massive dust clouds, this is supposed to revert after beating the final story mission. However, this did not reverse for me so the city is filled with smoke in certain areas which allows for the running normal infected to spawn randomly even in the day and it causes major framerate issues even with my rather higher end setup (i9-9700k, 2070 super, 64 gb 3200 ram) I was dropping into the 20fps range in these clouds that wont despawn. Another weird bug that happened was that I have completely lost game sounds besides the ui noises, I have no clue what has caused this and there seems to be no fix for it until the devs patch it.

    Another problem I have is that the marketing for the game was sorta deceptive. In the game there windmills or power stations that you can give to either the survivors and peace keepers and it was made out to be that giving these things to either faction would have a much bigger impact on the story, but they really don't change anything besides give you some extra things like ziplines or explosive cars around the city. It still has an effect on gameplay, but it was made out to be a much larger effect. Also the choice later in the game to open the damn and let the water flow out that opens a new area is super shallow in gameplay. This area has a few inhibitors in it and a really annoying zombie type that can nearly insta kill you on Hard even with a lot of health. This area of the map seems like it was thrown together last minute because it was put into the trailers that you can have major affect on the game environment and infact this area was used to market the game, but there is little to no reason to actually see this extended area of the map.

    Overall the game is enjoyable and major improvement over the first. When the bugs are squashed it will be a better experience 100%, but even right now it is very enjoyable. Also this game needs new game plus :) 8/10    … Expand

    a mio avviso dying light 2 non meritava voti così bassi per mancanza di doppiaggio italiano perché ci sono i sottotitoli. E il gioco stesso è un grande saluto dalla Polonia

    I put 2 instead of 1, just because the game is very addictive and pretty to play.
    When Techland will respond to my mails and take me out of the DEATH LOOP bug, maybe I'll put another review
    It's unacceptable to be stuck at mid game, and to not have answers from the devs. I can't be refund because I played it too much on steam, and can't play it because the game is wrecked. I won't    I put 2 instead of 1, just because the game is very addictive and pretty to play.

    Good: gameplay, side quests, multiplayer, multiplot story, cool sandbox, cool mechanics, and cool parkour (the best part of the game, every time you go to any mark, you're thinking how to get there, which way you can go faster and more handsome).
    Bad: bugs (a lot of, especially at story quests), no Italian (but it's pardonably), not that good story.

    Very good game, parkour system and main quest line. Melee Combat system is very good. I'm waiting for DLC "Break spaghetti before you cook it". For racist italians.

    Super gra! Świetna grafika, gameplay i w ogóle super. Słaba jest tylko reakcja włochów na brak dubbingu. To polska gra, więc jest polski dubbing, zrozumcie to włosi. A co do tego, że nia ma włoskiego no to czy jest to powód do recenzji na poziomie 1/10? To pokazuje jedynie jak debilni są niektórzy ludzie. Polecam

    The game is fun, but lacks polish and also lacks things that the first one like roaming volatiles at night, satisfying ragdoll animations when throwing enemies off roof or onto spike traps, Virals don't beg for their life occasionally ext. Plus the UI is not cool unlike the minimalistic one in DL1.

    This review is made solely in order to counteract the rev bombing of offended italians, who cannot read subtitles in their own language.
    Destroying such a good product by artificially lowering rating just to satisfy your bloated Italian ego is pathetic.

    Очень круто можно скакать по крышам, дизайн города очень хорош, особенно второго, бегать одно удовольствие. Также саунт дизайн моё почтение, давно у меня не было мурашек по коже, от удачно вплетенного музла во время геймплея. Вторая часть точно не хуже первой, а если у вас такое чувство, то переиграйте в первую. Немного подправить баги и будет конфетка!

    В первом dying light была итальянская озвучка, а во второй нету, о ужас, как же жить.

    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.
