    Fajna gra na wiele godzin można grę przejść na wiele sposobów. Gra ma również ciekawy tryb kooperacyjny. Mało glitchy jest spotykanych

    Świetnie się w grze bawię, świat jest ciekawie zaprojektowany i oddaje klimat, najbardziej jednak jestem zadowolony z braku włoskiego dubbingu jeszcze ino usunąć włoskie napisy i mamy pretendenta do gry roku.

    The plot has not yet passed to the end, but still normal (I rate the plot at 6.7 / 10)

    Graphics have become only slightly better than in the first part, and FPS has become much smaller (for example, in the first part,
    at the maximum settings I had 70 - 100fps, and here at the maximum - 58 64fps).

    Localization: In the plot characters it is good, in others it is not very good, and in enemies who cover you with mats during the battle.

    And I do not understand. There is no Italian voice acting in the game and this is a terrible game? And not very impudent? Does the crown not press on your head?
    When Russian-speaking people in most games pray that at least the text is translated, and Ukrainian language and text translation is not received, or get such a quality that it is better not to see it.

    Yes, there are bugs, but they are not critical and are easy to fix    … Expand

    Игра мне понравилась, не все но смешные и хорошые персы для меня есть, баги есть да но исправляют, кооп я не играл так-что за него говорить небуду, сюжет да не сок но я его смог пройти и доволен. Жаль что это не то что мы ждали с е3, но игра хороша.

    Great game. Good that they didn't include some minor languages (like Italian) so the game weights less.

    Bug ridden, overhyped, soulless and boring game. I wasn't crazy about the first one, but enjoyed it enough to finish it. This one is so much worse. Lots of glitches, horrible storytelling, ugly graphics, bad optimization. Not to mention they hid denuvo until the release so that they could milk the preorders. Don't waste ur time and money on it.

    Игра очень атмосферная и затягивает надолго с зомби и бандитами сражаться одно удовольствие,но нужно некоторые моменты доработать надо.

    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.

    An excellent continuation of the series, with excellent optimization, working even on embedded video cards in processors. I am very surprised by such a low rating, people, what is wrong with you?

    For someone that hasn't played Dying Light '1' and is not very critical of things, this might be a good time. For those that have played the first one and liked it, this can take sometime but it will grow on you.

    First off to g-sync users who need v-sync on, you have to go into video settings advanced and turn on DX12 instead of DX11 to get more than 60 fps cap, had to play for 2 hours with 60 fps before I found this out which should not have been a solution but works.

    The intro is appaling, really really bad, bad characters, very little engaging and is just a narrow path with no open world which the game is known for, they have no love for in media res. After the first 30m-hour, you are a bit more free but you quickly find out that running animation and speed feels like a full diaper and the parkour part of it is pretty nausiating for those not a fan of it to start with as I find it very little impressive (which is not something you think about unless you care). Though it must be said that the speed and handling does improve after some perks, but that it even starts that bad is pretty sad and moving sideways cuts your speed in half feeling like youre on a boat in the ocean.
    I was really looking forward to a lot of customization of character, clothes, hair, equipment upgrades, even a backpack, but there is none and the clothes are pretty poo.

    Quests are decent but characters are quite boring though it seemed to get a bit better in the new city. The first city is actually pretty small, about the same as the size in the first game, but there is another city too so theres that. Though the animation of charcters conversing seems pretty solid and there are maaaany different sidemissions characters, if only they spent more time on the main ones.

    Combat is pretty wonky at first, hit head, go back hit head go back til weapon breaks.. though there are other ways to go about it but I seem to remember that combat felt more rewarding in the first one. Though there are many ways to go about it, using the bow can be nice and you have a ton of gadgets.

    The writing lines are as bad as it is in most games nowadays, saying "fckin A" when you blow up a bomb, which almost made me vomit onto my monitor. But the characters and voiceacting seems solid.

    An interesting thing is that nighttime seems quite a lot less dangerous than it was in the first one, and that can be a good thing and bad.

    Graphics are pretty nice, you have to remember to use the upscaler with DLSS Balanced/quality and its really quite good, especially given the size, any better is maybe not even possible to change without huge fps drop. Would be great with a distance slider, turning off clouds, npcs etc. And the game runs pretty well on my system which is better than most I guess, 3070, 8600k, 32 gb ram,ssd.

    The last pretty fatal flaw is the saving system as you cannot manually save, big choices become really annoying when you have no way to go back and change it like most games Skyrim, Witcher 3, Fallout 4 where dialogue has a lot to say. So the entire game so far I'm helping the faction I don't want to help, people have died I wanted to save and you get enemies and friends based off replies that doesnt sound the way it was written so it ends up meaning something else, there are prolly over 10 things I would go back and change so far.

    After about 20 hours I conclude subjectively that during the first 3 hours I was extremely unhappy about it (I've been waiting for this game for like 5 years+). But the rest have been good, I've actually wanted to get back on and play, but when I got to the new city now it feels there is a lot to explore and do.

    The game seems a mix of Dying light, Metro 2033 exodus (in atmosphere and characters, animation) and Far cry in world mechanics, looting and objectives.

    To those rating it a 0, why are you even on here? To those giving it 10, are you mental?
    Let's all try and stay objective, this is a 6-7/10 so far.    … Expand

    For Italian players. Don't be selfish and jerk. Most of released games are include Italian language (subtitles). Did you noticed how many games didn't have polish subtitles?

Spamming about no Italian voice on English website it's funny (next what? You starting attack metacritic for no Italian language?).

    About Game. I giving 6/10 because game looks amazing and I see techland improved most of gameplay part which gives me a lot of fan in first part. Why not 10? Hmm maybe that why because the land gives me only selection to pay for game only on Epic and Steam (thanks Denuvo).

    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.
