    10/10 spaghetti gate. Gotta love good review bombing in the morning. That being said, I'd rate the game 8/10 if I didn't feel the need to counter pizza heroes ;)

    Developers, please don't listen to all of this haters who place ultra low marks in their reviews. All the people who love your game just too busy playing your awesome game.
    10/10 awesome game, I recommend.

    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.    … 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

    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.

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.    … Expand

It has fast snappy parkour, fun combat and a interesting story the new changes with the skill tree and level system is a welcomed changed as it ads a lot interesting ways to level up other than just dropkicking the nearest zombie for adying light 2 is a fantastic game i personally enjoyed almost every aspect of the game and i think it improves on everything the first game did so well.

The map is also massive it takes you ages to run from one end to the other especially without the use of the glider which btw is also a nice addition to the movement system. In terms of bugs i havent encountered one that i even felt was worthy enough to even notice there was one time where one of the mini bosses fell through the ground but i just had to leave the area and come back so it didnt really impact so other than that this game is absolutlty fantastic… Expand

    Klar, es hat hier und dar noch ein paar Bugs oder Fehlern, aber die werden denke ich mit der Zeit behoben werden.

    Aber jeder der ein Rollenspiel mit Fokus auf Loot und Apokalypse mag, wird mit dem Spiel glücklich werden.

The game isn’t perfect, there are a few issues upon release that the devs have acknowledged and are going to fix in the first big patch. With that being said, everything I disliked about the first Dying Light is not in this one. The parkour is better, the fighting is better and the story is soooooo much better. I played Dying Light because everyone said “Oh it gets so much better the longer you play.” That was not the case for me. But this game? I’m not forcing myself to play it, I can easily sit and play it for the entire day and not even realize it’s been that long. The graphics are amazing (my laptop runs it anywhere from 40-60 FPS it’s not the most powerful machine ever, but I still think it looks amazing) I do have a few freeze framing drops, but that’s one of those things the devs acknowledged and are fixing. I think my biggest complaint about the game is that I can’t repair (unless I mod) or scrap weapons. Sure you can sell them, but I put a lot of mods which are relatively expensive into this weapon, I don’t want to just hand it over to some vendor. Devs, let us repair our weapons please and thank you.… 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.

    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.
