    Techland sold out to Tencent, inserted microtransaction into the game the same way they would insert pineapple into your buttie and grabbed some bonus from their Chinese overlords.

    Screw Techland. Once amazing company, now not worth a even a spit their way.

    I believe, before C.Avellone left the project with all his materials according the contract, DL2 was supposed to be a quite a different game. After that quality of writing, dialogs and plot became generic, and made up from bits and pieces that sometimes doen`t make sense at all. it looks like that final release of DL2 was done by people who had zero good successful projects behind, andI believe, before C.Avellone left the project with all his materials according the contract, DL2 was supposed to be a quite a different game.

    Of cause you can`t not to compare it to the original game:
    new engine for the sake of ports to consoles - cringe , it looses to Chrome 6 visually and brings flashbacks from Fallout 4 (with original rubber-skin npcs); characters - cringe again, here you miss Crane and Rais both, about Jade and Rahim - don`t even start.... instead you got Lawan - npc like Sticky in Fallout 3: you want to kill it and forget straight away, but will fail the quest, so got to endure...
    about broken plot and all initial promises undelivered mentioned above, may be it could be a different game, but what got instead - 4-5 average score here is fair - not a BAD game, but far behind of the DL from 2015 and its add-on.

    The difference between what was shown in the E3 and what we got it is day and night

    And due the recent updates and management, it doesn't seems that the game will get any better and that E3 content will be added

    This game worths 10 dollars, but im not buying anything more from techland. I felt betrayed.

    In the age of Cyberpunk, Anthem, Fallout 76 and No Man's Sky - this game was actually complete upon release.

    M80s, we can neither ignore Denuvo nor define the game by its presence alone. Yes, it is a disappointing inclusion. And yes, Denuvo aside, the game has fun elements.

    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!

    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.

    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.

Jedyne co mnie średnio porwało to historia, która nie była zła, lecz tak samo jak w przypadku recenzji do pierwszej części - nie przepadam zbytnio nad motywem apokalipsy zombie. Trochę zawiodłem się na klimacie, który jedynka miała lepiej dopracowanego. Mniej się bałem, lecz może to z przyzwyczajenia do poprzedniej przygody.

    Absolute disaster of a sequel. The first Dying Light is one of my favorite games ever, this one is just a mockery to the franchise.

    İlk oyunu dlc'si ile birlikte, her yan görevi yaparak, her köşe bucağa girerek oynamıştık kardeşimle. Buna ise 20 saat katlanabildik ki bu 20 saati bir kaç günde değil bir kaç ayda oynayabildik, ona rağmen yani.

    Peki bu oyunun ilk oyuna göre daha kötü yaptığı şey ne? Aslında dövüş mekanikleri daha iyi, görsellik çok daha kaliteli, vuruş hissi epey iyi. Ancak kötü olan şeyse ana görevlerin ve yan görevlerin hikayelerinin kötü olması. Üstelik oyun bu hikayeleri olabilecek en sıkıcı şekilde sunuyor. Görev aldığımız karakterler o kadar yavaş konuşuyor ki baygınlık geçirdik dinlerken. Far Cry kötüsü gibi herkes. Ağır ağır söylüyor ne söylüyorsa. Bu kadar yavaş hareketlerin sonunda dediği şeyi önemsetemediğinde de büyük hayal kırıklığına uğruyorsunuz.

    Oyun yapılırken yapımcı ekipten birçok ayrılık oldu. Bunlardan birisi de Chris Avellone'du. Taciz iddiaları nedeniyle kovuldu, yazdığı metinler oyundan çıkarıldı falan. Sonunda ise herife iftira atıldığı ortaya çıktı. Ancak oyun o esnada çoktan piyasaya sürülmüştü. He varlığı oyunu tek başına toparlar mıydı emin değilim ama bu kadar berbat da olmazdı. Ya bir oyun hiçbir şekilde kendini önemsetmez mi ya? Feci sıkıcı bir oyun.

    Yanlış anlaşılmasın ilk oyunun görevleri veya hikayeleri daha kaliteli değildi. Ama kendisini ciddiye aldırmaya çalışıp sıkmıyordu. Ya da ben ilkini ilk olduğu için sevdim, bilmiyorum.

    Hakkını yemeyeyim, oyunun platform sistemi çok iyi. Tüm şehir platform için dizayn edilmiş. En ince ayrıntısından, yüksek gökdelenlerine kadar nasıl tırmanılacağı çok iyi tasarlanmış. Ancak ilk oyundaki kancanın bunda çok işlevsiz olması biraz canımı sıkmadı değil.

    Ben artık oyunlardaki loot işinden feci sıkıldım. Her saniye bir şey toplamaktan yoruldum. Bu işi God of War'daki gibi yapın yapacaksanız. Ender bir şey toplatın ve o toplattığınız şey gerçekten kıymetli olsun.

    Bir de oyun çok bug'lı. Çıkışının üzerinden 1 yıl geçmiş olmasına rağmen hala görev kıran bug var ki ben görev kırmadığı sürece bug konusuna pek takılmam.

    Neticede bitirmediğim için çok keskin şeyler söylemek istemiyorum ama bence olmamış. Çok oyunsuz kaldığım bir dönemde tekrar dönüp bakabilirim belki.

    It's not necessarily worse than it's predecessor, although the night chases are much more relaxed and less tense since you can more or less be safe at all times either hiding or simply outrunning everything... Only the streets are dangerous at night since that's where howlers are and the chase levels go up too slowly, you can mess around for a long time before it even becomes a problem.It's not necessarily worse than it's predecessor, although the night chases are much more relaxed and less tense since you can more or less be safe at all times either hiding or simply outrunning everything... Only the streets are dangerous at night since that's where howlers are and the chase levels go up too slowly, you can mess around for a long time before it even becomes a problem.

    The reason why I was so underwhelmed was because I expected the sequel to improve upon the original in significant ways and be more polished than it currently is.

    Technically, the game suffered a lot during my playthrough, my character kept getting stuck in walls after jumping, animations broke really frequently, my camera was spazzing out during "use" animations, my character would often times not grab obvious handholds and repeating the jump the same way would be fine the second time and so on...

    The monsters (rare/unique infected especially) are very repetitive, GRE anomalies are basically the same. This is the case with environments too, the same assets are used over and over to the point where big rooms and hubs look the exact same which gave me a bitter taste.

    The lore is quite decent, watching how people adapted to live in a world such as this, growing crops on the roofs, relying on solar energy, sleeping on shacks up high and constructing an environment that's easy to traverse by free running or using hooks/paragliders to be safe from the zombies below.

    One thing I didn't get is how people did not manage to make a relatively small city safe after 15 years of living in it, you would think with their high walls the only zombies left would be picked apart slowly until nothing was left...

    The parkour and combat system combined make for a decently fun experience once again, although I would have liked a "heavier" feeling parkour movement, it feels quite floaty. The combat can also feel somewhat unresponsive, a lot of animations have noticeable delay to them even if you're not using a 2h weapon.

    The control scheme was quite frustrating as well, there are a LOT of key combinations that do different things, one combo for example includes using caps lock... Also, the idea to have the jump key be THE SAME as the dodge key with directions made it feel really clunky as well.

    The very frequent cinematics that would take control off the player felt quite repetitive and annoying as well, my character would walk into a room and start looking around for 10 seconds before starting to speak with someone. I could look around myself you know. Conversations are extremely verbose and also include character actions and movement so if you decide to skip dialogue lines you can miss those. There must be 8 hrs worth of cutscenes like these in the game and I wasn't fond of them.

    The game also has a very old gen feel to it where friendly characters would run away from an infected with you but they would be unnaturally fast and would SLAM like 9 doors behind them, leaving you to open them again, once more, with a cinematic approach. Often times when in conversations with certain characters they would completely disappear afterwards, teleporting to another location as well. All of these felt quite jarring.

    The story and dialogue weren't anything to write home about but they were serviceable enough, the decisions you make do have an impact on who lives and who dies for example.

    There is something to say about obliterating a big group of zombies with a massive 2 handed weapon, body parts flying everywhere while maneuvering around like a mini spider man. The game certainly has its moments.

    Overall if you feel like hacking some zombies' limbs off while freerunning on rooftops, this will be an enjoyable experience for a while, until the repetitive monsters/zones/glitches start to annoy you.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an ok game, but , and I don't know how to properly describe this, but... it does not really feel like a Dying Light game
    First of, the game is full of bugs, the parkour combat, which is supposed to be its staple, does not work 90% of the time, and the game has a lot of stability issues still(I play in a Rog Strix X570-e. 32gb ram, RTX 2080 OC version, and it is stored in an SSD) like I have to restart the game anywhere from 3-4 times for it to work, as I get gamebreaking fps loss the first few times, after? Not a single drop, playing for hours at a time, and not one

    Now, the game feels bland, in DL there was a sense of urgency and there was fear of being out at night, here it's a piece of cake, neither urgency, nor fear, the gameplay is ok, but without the whole combat working, it is just hacking with the swords or shooting arrows, and that is another thing, there is no sense of accomplishment, you can easily find "Artifact" weapons(Equivalent to the legendary weapons/fluorescent yellow in DL) and I spent the whole game with 3 swords and the bow, nothing else, so there is no challenge at all, and the challenge that there is, is just disproportionate, like the parkour challenges, there are some that are plain dumb

    Characters are forgettable at best, not one character makes the same impression that, say, Rahim, Jade, Ezgi, or even Brecken, Spike or Gazi make, some parts of the story are kind of dumb or nonsensical, and the game tries to be "smart" but it feels like it is the total opposite, those "plot twists" are not "Wowing" at all, the only characters that cause an impression are Lawan and Maybe Hakon, but the rest of filler characters just don't make the cut, heck, in DL even small characters like Neil or Ayo leave a little mark, here it all feels generic and bland

    In general the game is an ok game but it tires you a bit after a while and brings nothing new, and this is coming from someone that has 10k+ hours in Skyrim, and that always goes back to play his favorites like DL, Skyrim, Fallout, Metro, TLOU, etc. when I finished this game I felt relieved, and do not feel like playing NG+(When in DL I went right to NG+ after I finished it and have played that game some 8 times), the only other game where this happened to me was Ghostwire, which I have not finished, so in reality, this game was a big disappointment

    If you are going to buy it, I'd say wait until after april 2023 to see if the patch fixes the things I mentioned(Nothing can fix the bland story though) or better yet, wait until a few DLCs drop to see if it gets better

    One small redeeming quality is that it gives you some easter eggs regarding the Harran survivors, some are still alive, so there's that(not spoiling it for you though)

    From the unnecessarily long story to the adjusted less-realistic floaty parkour, and the very large open world filled with grinding.

The best way I can describe this game is that this is a product plagued by the Ubisoft formula, quantity over quality. I finished it in co-op and around every corner there were glitches that would disrupt the flow and feel of the game. The atmosphere is also subpar compared to the first Dying Light. Sure, the brighter and more vibrant colors are pretty. But at the same time, the dark and heavy post-apocalyptic feeling is mostly gone now. I think I am playing Far Cry New Dawn, not exactly sure anymore.

    I could explain everything I've said in more detail, but that would be another wall of text done by a million other people already. In conclusion, Dying Light 2 has lost vision of its core identity. The things that once made this franchise so good, are replaced by popular bland game design or changed to the point they don't feel as great as they did before.

More and more of the game keeps opening up for me. I did have to get over dying a lot, and learn to not be freaked out by that.

    However, Multiplayer is where it truly started to shine for me - once both my friend and I were playing in the same game, it became massively more fun than playing alone, which I actually found kinda stressful with the constant fear of death.

    I really dont understand all the "0" reviews for this game - theres no reason for that. I assume its a bunch of haters or protesters?

    Passed only the main plot, side quests were not interested.
    Not bad graphics with excellent optimization. Banal plot, but good characters. The gameplay is quite normal.
    One fat minus, there are no love relationships in the game, as in Cyberpunk. Minus two points for such a missed opportunity.

    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!

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

    It is painfully buggy a year after release. I'm on my second play through in new game plus and it's buggier than I remember during my first one. I cannot call for help, I cannot accept distress signals, my game crashed today, the "Renegades" mission glitched and completely disappeared, causing me to lose over an hour's worth of progress.

    You know, I feel as if in a lot of ways Techland is really trying to listen to player feedback and truly follow this game up with a lot of support such as they did with the last game, but the problem for me is that even after trying this game again, not finishing it this time around and doing this following the advice of a developer who posted a comment on my original review mentioning theYou know, I feel as if in a lot of ways Techland is really trying to listen to player feedback and truly follow this game up with a lot of support such as they did with the last game, but the problem for me is that even after trying this game again, not finishing it this time around and doing this following the advice of a developer who posted a comment on my original review mentioning the addition of NG+ mode (one of my most requested features) I still feel as if the game is riddled with issues.

    For starters, I would like no mention what I like about the game; the world, the story and characters (as silly and as poorly written as they are) all of those, to me, are an improvement over the last game, I like the fact that I can have multiple choices throughout the game and how detailed and beautiful the world is. Given that this is a recent game, I -naturally-, also love the graphical fidelity; but the game still has -sadly-, some pretty fair share of things I dislike.

    For starters, the gore is not as good as it was in the original, it has been improved significantly from how it was when the game launched, but it’s still a bit of a random dice toss whether your attacks would actually dismember the enemies or not…

    Then there’s the fact that the enemies tend to get a hold of you prompting a quick time event each time you miss a dodge or a grab, something that was also part of the last game, but that wasn’t nearly as frequent, and therefore, not nearly as annoying as it is here; I really wish there was an option to disable this qte’s, or completely get rid of the grabs.

    But perhaps the biggest gripe I have with the game right now has to do with two aspects: one is the story padding, there’s literally a point in the game where you have to complete a number of different sidequests to continue the main story, something that feels it was just added here as a way to increase the game’s length. Secondly, there’s also the fact that I don’t like how the new game plus mode is implemented…

    In the last game NG+ was implemented at launch, as soon as I finished the game I went back and replay it again in its entirety with my grappling hook, combat and agility upgrades, and inventory, it was incredibly overpowered, but above all else, it was a heck of a ton of fun, it was so much fun!!! I didn’t care if I finished the game in three hours the second time around you see, because the core aspect of why I even play games in the first place was held intact; the engagement and enjoyment I would get from the game hadn’t changed.

    Here NG+ mode was implemented months after the game’s release and it doesn’t let you keep anything but your inventory and abilities, all of your Nightrunner tools, such as the grappling hook, or the glider, are gone.
    This means that one of the most enjoyable elements in the later parts of the game are gone, you can use the grappling hook in this game for traversal and combat, yet you can’t bring it here for NG+ mode, you can use the paraglider in the first half area of the game once you’ve obtained it in the main story, yet here, they removed my ability to keep it.

    I’ve heard on reddit that “it would break the game” but on the same post I saw someone making a mod for this particular problem and it would work great, so I don’t see why Techland couldn’t do the same.

    You understand I’m not playing your damn single player game for challenge or for balance, this isn’t a multiplayer competitive experience that’s supposed to keep me in my toes for ten minutes only for me to then die multiple times; the whole point of a single player game is to be fun and let me play at my own pace whilst at the same time delivering a great (or at least entertaining) story. I can’t achieve these two things if you detract some really fun items from my experience, the same way I can’t just enjoy the story if you keep deviating me from it to artificially prolong the experience.

    But like I say, it does seem as if Techland is listening, so maybe they’ll give access to more options, maybe they’ll give us the option to disable those annoying QTE’s at later updates, maybe they’ll even patch in the glider and hook to the NG+ mode, who knows? I wouldn’t even care if they would forbid me to partake in some of the challenges added to the game if they were to give me my tools back.

    I also really hope they increase the chances of gore in the game, I loved the way the gore worked in the original Dying Light.

The jump button barely responds, the wide axe swings only hit 1 enemy because the hitboxes are as basic as freaking ps1 games.. and so much more stuff that is devolved over the first game; the visuals are worse, its runs worse than the original aswell, and the first map is maybe the most boring map ever created, ALL the buildings are the same, literally there is like 1 church, 1 hospital and 1 water tower and the rest 99% of the city is just the same house copy pasted. The combat is much less responsive than in the original, combined with the awful collision detection it's just tedious. The parkour stuff is still really fun, with some really cool moments, and the soundtrack is totally awesome, like in the first game! Why this game makes me sad is that although the original had some flaws, it also had all the prerequisites to be a 10/10 zombie sandbox game, instead of that promise they doubled absolutely everything that sucked in the first game and made it more repetitive.

    Siento decir que esta ultima entrega de Dying Light me ha dejado muy mal sabor de boca. Partiendo de la primera entrega que sin ser una cosa muy innovadora impacto bastante en su tiempo y gusto en general. Esta segunda entrega decepciona en la mayor parte de los aspectos. La historia y personajes dejan mucho que desear. Literalmente están muy mal redactados e integrados en la narrativa. Esta a su vez esta contada de muy mala manera y es completamente aburrida y repetitiva. El juego en si esta plagado de contenido totalmente inútil e innecesario. Debido a que puedes tener una total progresión en el juego sin necesidad de completar ninguna misión o actividad secundaria. A su vez las mecánicas son muy repetitivas y se nota que han invertido nada de tiempo en mejorar o innovar. A su vez el combate o las partes de acción dentro del juego están muy mal detalladas y son prácticamente calcos unas de otras. La toma de decisiones dentro la narrativa no se llega a notar de manera importante en ningún momento. En general el juego es divertido y entrenetenido gracias al parkour. Pero este podría a su vez ser mucho mejor y mas dinámico. En términos generales es un juego pasable pero falto de cariño y detalle. Sin ser su anterior entrega nada de otro mundo se ve claramente que con esta segunda parte han dado completamente un paso atrás.

    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.

    The amount of enjoyment in this game offer is far overshadowed by the actual usability.
    The Parkour side of things just makes it frustrating, with often jumping in between the cracks of the game and the constant glitching when I grab a ledge that was not meant to be. Added to this … sometimes jumps and timings require critical timing and accurate button pressing means you come away more

Added to this … sometimes jumps and timings require critical timing and accurate button pressing means you come away more annoyed and frustrated. I get they were trying to do something more with the series, but it just feels they released this way too early without addressing the major concerns of their showpiece in this game.
    Sad really, and don't get me started on the paraglider. God that unyielding beast is like trying to hang on to bulls balls... and he already woke up in a funny mood this morning. Delays between button presses and actually doing something is not accepted in Gaming. I can already hear how in real life paragliding is blah blah … but I counter that with … dying light world is not set in real life. This is gaming and the difference is so far removed. I want something that works in-game, not real-life experiences … otherwise, I would have taken up paragliding.
    After that there is the mountain of conversation… look lady I don’t care about your singing career in the apocalyptic world. Just give me your quest so I can get my points. And after completing … oh yes I so want more conversation that I am not going to remember, perhaps throw in a song too… Good! God! It seems like the developers were all “visual novel” game designers, where every quest proceeds with a whole life story of the NPC before getting the details.
    This makes you click violently through all conversations regardless of importance. Then suddenly coming to fork road decisions, and you have not paid attention. Now I have to make a decision on a mountain of text I didn’t read and didn’t care about. I googled the correct choice for the first few … after that, I just wanted to see the world burn. Next time, if you’re going to make us read it all, at least show us boobs!
    Then there are a number of smaller things that just pain me, after being wounded deeply by the rest of the game. Some quests completely disappear after I haven’t tracked them, and come back to them later. Parts of the inventory system are also a pain, making the overall stat decisions of armour difficult because you need to switch between multiple screens.
    Which comes to the best … and the worse part of the game. The open world Parkour should have been the jewel … which soon becomes the horse apple (think Shawshank Redemption) of the city. It was actually a true pleasure trying to discover the world and figure out ways to climb buildings. One interesting thing … as I scaled up certain ways, I was left with the impression I was actually making my own way up the wall. That my path wasn’t set in stone, I could actually create/cheat my own way up depending on the level of my character's skill. This made it a puzzle, thoroughly enjoyable and exhilarating to reach the top.
    But coming down was often met with a splat, metaphorically and figuratively, as those little times when the character world physics glitched or downright refused to respond to the commands … it was far more satisfying to walk away from the game and let Aiden meet the pavement.
    Honestly writing this review offered more stress relief than playing DL2. Sad to say as there are some great qualities in this game. The Developers have spoilt their own masterpiece by developing the wrong things in this game.

    Need to give this a 10 just to refute the absolute **** ratings it received so far. The game is absolutely fantastic and the criticism for missing language options is pathetic.
    The parkour in the game feels fluid as can be and combat is great too. The story really isn't what other people claim here too, it's actually really intriguing and well fleshed out. No part of this open-world feel

No part of this open-world feel overly filled with bloat, though some sure is there, but it's just the right amount. Overall, the experience is fantastic and does not deserve the current dumped rating at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ну чтож, наиграл 10 часов, дошёл до мужика, который гладит другого мужика и удалил. Я не гомофоб, меня это, просто, уже раздрожает и бесит. Игру и так хочется удалить после 2-3 часов игры, но ты думаешь, может вот еще чуток и там что-то будет??? Нет не будет... Тупорылейшие диалоги, тупорылейшая мотивация нпс, сюжет писал нил Дракман, или что-то такое, если бы диалоги не скипались, я бы этот мусор удалил еще давно, ибо кровь из ушей не просто капала, она бы хлестала фонтанами. Далее, конечно, Вы помните забитые зомбаками автострады в первой части? Хер там, 4-6 зомбаков, это всё что ты увидишь тут, они тут для галочки, они вообще никакие, они мааааленькая помеха на пути, даже на самой высокой сложности нихрена не меняется, зомби становятся просто 5-7 жЫрных зомбиков. Второе дыхание игра получает, когда гг попадает во вторую локу, где всё высокое и классное, тебе дают параплан, (привет Фар Кряй). Думаешь вот, вот тут будет веселее. Хер там, еще часа 3-4 и всё. Это песочница без песка, это игра уровня ЮбиСофт, это симулятор вышек, это тупейшие диалоги, всё ВСЕ ТУТ одинаковое и продублированое. Геймплея тут часа на 2-3. Всё остальное это самоповтор. Графон ДА, звук ДА. Походить, посмотреть и всё, больше тут делать нехер. Не купил бы даже по скидке. Славься Эмпресс. Гори в аду денува. Expand

    Mid 9/10

    I enjoy playing this games, with ambience when days or nights..
    Walking and parkouring in the middle of zombies.

    Maybe the stories and combat mechanic isn't exception but the feels you can run from zombies chased are awesome.

    Loved this.

    Juego del montón , con controles que son bastante macarrón e incomodos sobretodo en el parkour y con el parapente que es penoso de lo mal que se controla. Historia aburrida a la que pronto no le prestas nada de atencion y misiones suicidas en las que como siempre le toca hacer todo al prota mientras el resto de supervivientes se rasca bien los huevos = pesimo guión.

    I played the game about 5 months after the release and I don't know why are the reviews so low. I haven't played the first installment which may be the reason why I think really highly of this one. The city felt overall immersive there is a ton of side content and the main story quests were very well done by my standards. The sound design is on point with the wind on high surfaces andI played the game about 5 months after the release and I don't know why are the reviews so low.

    Worse combat, less gore, less impact, more click spamming
    Worse zombie variety and amount, the whole city is pretty empty and populated by what feels like 3 zombie models
    Worse parkour, its floaty as hell like the game is holding your hand harder now The factions are just npcs you cant interact with other than being attacked on sight The map is dumb as hell, full of big ass trees

    The map is dumb as hell, full of big ass trees growing straight out of thin concrete roofs, this is what these brainlets think would happen to a city in just a few years lmao

    What they did to this game was add a stamina bar to make the climbing more annoying, a timer to prevent you from staying out all night long because the night is as bright as the day, and copy the settlements from Far Cry, they did literally nothing to improve upon the first game. My rating should be lower but it is still an kinda enjoyable dumber version of a great game.

    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.
