    Techland ha arruinado este juego que está lleno de errores. El sistema de game saving también es terrible. Las misiones son repetitivas y aburridas. El juego es cero

    Non solo è un gioco pessimo, ma gli sviluppatori non hanno implementato il doppiaggio in lingua italiana. Mi auguro che falliscano.

    Dying Light 2 is the worst what Techland could make.
    they ruined this game so much.
    Parkour is so clunky and slow. Gameplay feels so unresponsive it have a lot of bugs and most important it is not fun at all.. Graphics did not improve so much but optimization is really bad. Sounds sometimes are not synchronized, ragdolls of the zombies is terrible and you can't for example kick them with    Dying Light 2 is the worst what Techland could make.

Fighting zombies is not fun. Parkour is fun at times, but the whole citi looks so similar that I feel like I've been everywhere, even if it's a new location. Story is ok so far, a few weird decisions, but ok for a zombie game. If you've never played DL1, don't bother with DL2 and go straight to Dying Light 1. I can't find a good innovation in this game, though there are a few. In fact, I think this game should be called Far Light: New Dawn 2. Same crap as Far Cry: New Dawn, boring world with boring weapons, boring people problems. They chose the worst part of the apocalypse, rebuilding a world where nothing happens. I personally don't like it. You can choose between 2 sides you want to help. Survivors and Peace Keepers. Both are stupid idiots, one looks like beggars and the other like paintball kids playing soldiers. You can't manually save so if you glitch into a wall during some missions and die you fail it and bye bye. Most of the characters aren't very interesting and the few that are worthwhile aren't super essential to the story. The zombies feel like they are just there to fill out the world, you almost don't have to fight them, the main opponents are humans. The physics and behaviour of the zombies is disappointing, you just sneak past most of them anyway so they don't see you and when you do fight one you don't break their bones with your punches and they don't X-ray like in DL1 which was one of the best features, you don't break their bones with every punch like in DL1. You're just taking away the Hp's that levitate above them to die, also almost everything here defies physics and zombies, humans and Aiden fly through the air like nothing. You can't throw weapons here, stomp on zombies' heads, my favorite two-legged kick is basically useless and difficult to use here. Overall the skills here are boring and useless.… Expand

    Another totally average "ubi like" checklist game. Bland and uninteresting story, cringy flashback moments, overuse of cutscenes where game is taking the controls because a protagonist must look around for no reason.

    Parkour is the highlight of this game and works very well, however the story and the world presented is so uninspired that I've lost interest after 15h.

    Wait for 50% discount.

    Bugs, repetitive side content, bad storytelling, and the unfulfilled promise of its choice and consequence system leave Dying Light 2 unable to capitalize on the strength of its excellent parkour and combat mechanics.

    The second game is a clear downgrade in almost everyway. The devs seem oblivious to what made the first game fun, it was essentially a zombie killing sandbox and it was the best one ever made.

The devs seem oblivious to what made the first game fun, it was essentially a zombie killing sandbox and it was the best one ever made.

    Hours of fun just playing around with the hordes of zombies, pushing them into traps, setting them on fire, kicking them through windows and off rooftops, mowing them down with the vehicle in the DLC. Each weapon felt unique, each swing was satisfying, the way the zombies seemed to react differently to every hit. Of course the story wasn't great but nobody cared, it was good enough to keep you moving through the game.

    So what do they decide to do with the sequel? Attempt to turn it into a branching RPG-like story focused game where all your choices will matter, which they seemed to have completely given up on half way through development and just left the barebones of it.

    That wouldn't be a problem if they didn't neglect almost everything that made the first game so good, zombies will now play canned animations after every hit before they go ridiculously flying through the air like they've been hit by a truck when they die.

    The weapons have lost all their weight and impact, a baseball bat will cut through a crowd of zombies just as easily as a sword will. Even kicking zombies off of rooftops isn't fun anymore because they don't go tumbling off ledges, now they just slide off and fall straight down.

    Overall the combat is worse than the second game, although human v human combat is improved it is nothing special. The ragdolling and physics have been massively downgraded, zombies won't even stick to spike traps anymore, they just collapse and die. There are less zombie hordes and they are less fun to kill. Almost all horror aspects of the game have been lost, night time isn't dark, no roaming volatiles and the loot scan ability now reveals every zombie in the area.

    For all the focus and marketing around the story it is no better than the first but it is definitely longer, more boring and more irritating. The only improvement is in the parkour but it still gets plenty of things wrong, the ridiculous running animation and Aiden having the same vertical leap as the Mario brothers are the obvious ones.

    Dying Light 1 is still the best zombie game, Dying Light 2 feels like a Ubisoft reboot.    … Expand

If story doesn't turn out great it's fine, I'm here for the gameplay. I know Techland will listen to the fans and fix the physics and improve the gameplay in the future, because they actually care and have passion for their game.… Expand

    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

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

    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.

    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.
