    First of all, people who gave **** grade only bc of denuvo does not deserve to play any game and have right to grade anything. This is such a dick move towards producers for so many years of Techland supporting DL1 (and planning to support DL2 for I'm sure many years as well). This game is awesome! I spend so many hours playing first part and second one does not disappoint me at all!

I spend so many hours playing first part and second one does not disappoint me at all! Yeah, some may say the story is poor, I can agree, but I never played any part od DL for the story, this is so much fun to just run around and do crazy stuff. It runs great on my PC, steady 75 fps, looks great and only had one issue so far with keyboard vs controller but it's fixed now. I highly recommend to any DL fan, have fun and good night and good luck! Expand

    Pretty good game. Improved on some areas to the first game. Except for crafting weapons which was an important feature, but just not that good in this game. The controls feel twitchy and inaccurate. For normal gameplay it is okay, but climbing a tall building or tower can be very frustrating when you fall to your death being almost at the top due to bad, inaccurate controls.

    Terrible, disgusting game, and the same terrible optimization, the developers also put Denuvo. And the main problem was that firearms were removed from the game, it feels like the action of the game takes place in the Stone Age.

    I feel like I'm not playing the same game as some of these other reviewers.

    I'm enjoying this game immensely, and it has actually exceeded my expectations. I thought the first game was fairly mediocre, and the second game has me sold. - Progression System is pretty good. It goes along with the story and character development. Leveling greatly improves both your combat and parkour

    I'm enjoying this game immensely, and it has actually exceeded my expectations. I thought the first game was fairly mediocre, and the second game has me sold.

    - Progression System is pretty good. It goes along with the story and character development. Leveling greatly improves both your combat and parkour abilities.

    - Level design is fantastic. You can tell they put ALOT of thought into how they designed the map.

    - Combat is ridiculously fun. Even more so once you get a few levels under your belt. The combat feels visceral and engaging

    - Several different enemy types, both zombies and factions. When combined together, this is quite a large number of different enemies.

    - I'm personally enjoying the story quite a bit. I don't think the characters are dull or uninteresting. A lot of t hem are very believable and the voice acting is definitely above standard. I'm not sure what people are comparing this game to when it comes to animations and voice actor quality. There might be 1 or 2 RPGS out there with better quality.

    I guess I never follow the hype campaigns that these companies put out, so I don't know if that's playing into some of these other reviews. I was definitely surprised on how much I'm enjoying this game, and the RPG elements are much appreciated.

    This game is absolutely a marvel. In every aspect it's an improvement to the predecessor, in terms of combat, parkour, everything. Gameplay is one of the most addictive out there, you can web swing like spider man, climb like in mirror's edge and fight like Kratos in god of war. Well earned 10/10, keep up the good work Techland.

    What an amazing game! Has a few bugs but will be fixed with patches just basic Game release stuff. So happy for once a company just improved there formula for what there game got praised about originally! Thank you Techland for such an amazing gift. Please continue and just let dying light be what it is and just improve it as you have it all already

    DYING LIGHT was wonderful, the second part is even better. Many elements have been improved, the world is more vivid. I believe in further development of the game like the previous one.
    And the best part is the lack of dubbing in the language of pizza! You guys are the best Techland

    Review bombs are a necessary evil in 2022 as companies are doing nefarious things to their consumers with no other recourse. This campaign to review bomb this game because of the lack of an Italian language option is simply childish and unnecessary. To be clear the game right now is about a 7 out of 10 but these "bombers" are making all gamers look petty.

    Don't listen to the rest of these trolls that are giving the game a zero simply because it doesn't have an Italian localization, or because they're potato computers can't run the game. This sequel is fantastic and truly an evolution of everything that made the first Dying Light fun. Is it a little less scary? Yes. But it's more of an adrenaline rush with the heart-pounding chases andDon't listen to the rest of these trolls that are giving the game a zero simply because it doesn't have an Italian localization, or because they're potato computers can't run the game. This sequel is fantastic and truly an evolution of everything that made the first Dying Light fun. Is it a little less scary? Yes. But it's more of an adrenaline rush with the heart-pounding chases and the amped-up parkour and combat. The story won't be winning any awards but the multiple choices and outcomes is still pretty fun and adds replay value. And honestly who plays these games for the story anyway? The first one's story wasn't that great and I put over 400 hours into it because the gameplay was awesome.

    I can't recommend this game enough. I'm excited to see what the devs do to support this game over the next few years.

    The lack of Italian language is not a reason to reduce the rating of this game.
    Dying light 2 is a solid sequel.

    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.
