    Officially, the gaming community today is the stupidest ever. The game according to Italians deserves a 0/10 rating as there is no language available for them. This is just one disadvantage that does not affect the gameplay. The game itself is great, a good game worth attention has finally come out for over a year

    Why are Italians such cry babies? They bomb review games that lack their language.

    perfect continuation to first part, parkour is sooo satysfying in this new incarnation. awesome visuals & seemingly endless crafting system.

    The game turned out to be ambiguous, but in general, not everything is so bad,I only give such an assessment because of nostalgia

    You are a big fan of the brand. You pay a few dozen dollars for the game in a preorder. In the end, the publisher says he'll implement denuvo, which works horribly, and he'll let twitch streamers play the game the day before, because he's a big streamer and you worm, wait another day because you don't deserve to play it earlier. No more preoders.

    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

Just a joy to master. Graphics are amazing. Maxed out raytracing setting on RTX3090 that is. Lighting with this setting feels really next gen and makes most of the modern AAA games look like cartoon. Story wise it's pretty decent actually and fits atmosphere and the world quiet nicely and makes me wanna know what comes next. Overall to me this one is much better than the first one and the size of it and the depth are quiet surprising. Few small technical bugs I've noticed: the game looks too blurry in motion with DLSS enabled. Had to set sharpness slider to 70 as this is the only value that produced kinda similar image standing still vs moving. But it looks a bit oversharpen as result. Hope devs fix this and make DLSS quality look less blurry in motion so we don't have to crank up sharpness as high. Then there are ghosting trails behind some moving objects from time to time (this is with DLSS enabled as well). Something off with motion vectors I guess as pointed by Digital Foundry as well in their video. But overall it's a great experience still and real joy to play! Playing in downtown now with all those tall buildings with many walkable floors and overall geometry complexity and just looks and feels like the most dense, beautiful and complex level and environment design in games to date. And the performance is quiet smooth. No stutter no nothing considering what's on display. Great job Techland!

    Oh and flashlight shadows of course. Really hope devs will add them in. Currently shadowless flashlight is the weakest portion of the game presentation. Unfortunately 50% of the game happening in the dark and flashlight looks really outdated compare to all other graphical features on display. Whoever made this decision disabling flashlight shadows was wrong    … Expand

    Офигенная игра, отличное продолжение первой части. Шикарный паркур и отличная боевка, большой и интересный мир. Печалит лишь оптимизация в RTX режиме, посредственный сюжет

    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.

    Everything but the main quest just seems like it was written and performed by children which breaks the immersion so much.
    Even in the first "tutorial" part of the game - you meet a guy, talk to him - follow him into the next room and he suddenly says: "im going to leave you now, cause someone said to me, if you think someone is suspicious, you must leave them"... he then enters the next room and you both carry on like nothing happened... WTF.

    The combat is boring, its swing light attacks - unlock heavy attacks later on - they did try to spice it up with parkour attacks, but you have to block the attacks the perfect time - so all youre doing is waiting for that to happen and then get a few kicks in before youre back to blocking and tapping left mouse.
    I loved the first game, but I struggle to see both how this game is in any way an improvement - and how they have worked on it for so long.
    Ubisoft pumps **** like this out every year, its the same thing. Copy paste buildings and events and a world that feels dead around those "events"    … Expand

    I think Techland took deliberate action to remove Italian from voice localization at the only purpose to mock our country. For this reason they will never deserve our money nor our esteem

    I couldn't find any positive aspect in this game: terrible punishment for Italian players (our language missing in the game); boring story and gameplay; no button assignments; no manual save system; crashes; bugs (many bugs); terrible graphics for a 2022 game; Denuvo added just two days before the realease.

    I've got about 30 hours in so far. Overall I really like the game. Haven't been board yet and I actually like the story. No regrets. On my 3060 the performance is nice although you can forget about RT, turns it into a slow poke. Otherwise performance has been great.

    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.
