    To start with, the RTX implementation is terrible in this game. With RTX on everything is just way too dark, some people will defend this by saying "Night is supposed to be dark", but even in daytime there are huge dark areas. There isn't enough bounce lighting at all, so putting all RTX options on so you can see the pretty reflections and light affects at the cost of about -60fps meansTo start with, the RTX implementation is terrible in this game.

    With RTX off, everything looks washed out and terrible.

    And then there are the character model shadows, jesus, dead island released over 10 years ago and they're still getting this wrong!!! Your guy walks around with his arms stretched out like Boris Karloff from the 1930's movie Frankenstein!

    And finally, the gameplay... it's trash... parkour is fun enough, but it's just another boring bloated open world that isn't exciting to explore and the rewards for doing so are just as uneventful. I'm sorry I spent the money on this game.

    Juego del montón , con controles que son bastante macarrón e incomodos sobretodo en el parkour y con el parapente que es penoso de lo mal que se controla. Historia aburrida a la que pronto no le prestas nada de atencion y misiones suicidas en las que como siempre le toca hacer todo al prota mientras el resto de supervivientes se rasca bien los huevos = pesimo guión.

    I tried to play the game, didn't make it past the settings. Cannot rebind my grappling hook ? There had to be 3rd party articles that showed you how to edit the input script to bind a simple key ? Yeah mate, it's a no from me. Glad I didn't pay any money for this game. No wonder it was a flop.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ну чтож, наиграл 10 часов, дошёл до мужика, который гладит другого мужика и удалил. Я не гомофоб, меня это, просто, уже раздрожает и бесит. Игру и так хочется удалить после 2-3 часов игры, но ты думаешь, может вот еще чуток и там что-то будет??? Нет не будет... Тупорылейшие диалоги, тупорылейшая мотивация нпс, сюжет писал нил Дракман, или что-то такое, если бы диалоги не скипались, я бы этот мусор удалил еще давно, ибо кровь из ушей не просто капала, она бы хлестала фонтанами. Далее, конечно, Вы помните забитые зомбаками автострады в первой части? Хер там, 4-6 зомбаков, это всё что ты увидишь тут, они тут для галочки, они вообще никакие, они мааааленькая помеха на пути, даже на самой высокой сложности нихрена не меняется, зомби становятся просто 5-7 жЫрных зомбиков. Второе дыхание игра получает, когда гг попадает во вторую локу, где всё высокое и классное, тебе дают параплан, (привет Фар Кряй). Думаешь вот, вот тут будет веселее. Хер там, еще часа 3-4 и всё. Это песочница без песка, это игра уровня ЮбиСофт, это симулятор вышек, это тупейшие диалоги, всё ВСЕ ТУТ одинаковое и продублированое. Геймплея тут часа на 2-3. Всё остальное это самоповтор. Графон ДА, звук ДА. Походить, посмотреть и всё, больше тут делать нехер. Не купил бы даже по скидке. Славься Эмпресс. Гори в аду денува. Expand

While fighting enemies the game randomly lags while doing parkour attacks. Enemies are sometimes grey skinned mannequin looking things. Enemies will freeze in place for several seconds after you hit them then re appear and get a free hit on you, story dialogue is often muted. Sometimes I'll do several parkour jumps, rolls, falls etc.. with no sfx at all. Then roughly 20 seconds later I'll hear all the sounds that were supposed to play earlier while my character is just standing there. I'm currently on the final story mission and its skipping entire cutscenes.. Techland should be embarrassed Expand

    I really hate the fact that I don't like the game but it is just so bad. As a big fan of DL1 I was pretty happy to finally play the sequel. However after playing it for around 30 hours I have to say that it is totally underwhelming.

    Movement: In contrast to what mainstream media is saying I truly don't like the new movement at all. It feels very clumsy unprecise and slow. I get that
    I really hate the fact that I don't like the game but it is just so bad. As a big fan of DL1 I was pretty happy to finally play the sequel. However after playing it for around 30 hours I have to say that it is totally underwhelming.

    Movement:
    In contrast to what mainstream media is saying I truly don't like the new movement at all. It feels very clumsy unprecise and slow. I get that you have to level up to increase your stamina but even now after I leveled up a lot it still does not feel close as good as the prequel.

    Fighting:
    Also fighting is a big downgrade. In DL1 fighting was a very satisfying part of the game. When you hit an enemy your attack had a lot of impact. You were able to aim for particular body parts e.g. breaking legs to make your opponent fall on the ground or instantly go for the neck to cut the zombies head off. Now fighting feels like you are swinging a wooden stick on a huge rock. Enemies don't react as satisfying as they used to. You don't receive as much feedback of what part of the body you've hit anymore, hitboxes are really bad and weapons don't feel unique and strong anymore. There are still mods but they are not as interesting anymore when it comes to names, effects and optical modifications of the weapon. Fighting without a weapon is not really an option anymore. In DL1 you were able to dropkick or kick your enemy on the ground and then use a skill to jump on the enemies head to instantly kill your opponent very effectively and satisfying. The dropkick is also available in the sequel but is not nearly as good as it used to be. I actually had many times where my dropkick directly hit a zombie but had no impact at all. And even if the dropkick knocks down an opponent he will stand up before you can stand up yourself. Kicking is an almost useless skill that doesn't do much anymore. I've never made a zombie enemy fall on the ground with the normal kick in the game. It seems like this is not an option anymore. Overall this reasons made me try to dodge as many fights with zombies as I could and beeing really annoyed when I actually had to fight them. This is a shame if you keep in mind how fun it used to be in the prequel.

    Bugs and glitches:
    Another really big part are the bugs. Enemys AI is really bad. Their movement e.g. climbing up vehicles is totally glitched and there are also bugs like dead zombies floating on the ground following you and attacking you and things like that. Coop does work but is also totally bugged. When I see chests to open sometimes my friends don't see them. Enemies are invisible or just standing still for one player while the other one can see them fighting. Parts of the world (e.g. bounce pads) are not visible for some players while others can see them.

    Quests and Characters:
    The quests are really really boring and not close as good as masterpieces like the Tolga and Fatin quests. Most of the quests are repetitive and boring and have a seemingly never ending really stupid and unnecessary conversation in it. There are even quests that have no sense at all like a monk that tells you that his fish were stolen but you should not do anything about it and he just wants to talk and thats it - quest done... Another quest was two women who were fighting if they should use water for plants or for washing their hair. You pick one side and thats it. Nothing else. Characters are written very stereotypical without any depth or humour.

    Weird RPG-Features
    Another very weird part of the game is the poor try to implement somewhat RPG-elements. You can find clothes, shoes, gloves hats etc. that not only increase your armor but also support other attributes and classes. Yes you heared right. There are different classes now that are not explained or anything but just there. None of my friends were interested to actually read through all of this stuff and wanted to have this much depth in such an uninteresting part of the game that does not fit to the rest of the game at all. Also weapons are not repairable anymore except you put a very expensive upgrade in your weapon you get pretty late in the game.

    To me this game is a massive fail and a downgrade in every segment compared to the prequel. It doesn't feel finished and overall many concepts have been implemented in the game that better shouldn't have. Compared to the prequel It lost its great fighting mechanics and its movement. After 30 hours of playing I am still waiting for the fun part of the game. I start to believe I wont find it. As a full price title this does not deserve more than a disapointing 3/10.

    Initially I did have fun with Dying Light 2 and just tried to look past all the bugs and hoped they’d be resolved in an eventual patch but it turns out towards the end there are so many bugs you can’t actually complete the game. I don't even have the will to finish it anymore because there are so many bugs stopping any progress.

    I played more than 150 hours on PC. I see lots of bugs even with last patch 1.4.
    Storyline is really boring and stupid. I don't see any new content.
    I had to start new game twice because of bugs.
    Now I'm palying NG+. Enemy's level is very high and they kill me easily.
    DL1 is much better!!!!

    I played the first episode over and over again. This sequel is an insult.
    I liked the music,scenery, I was quite taken by the city and i liked exploring it. But there is lot of repetitive actions metro etc . side tasks were a waste of time
    Parkour did what it wanted sometimes. Combat was rather annoying after a while. By now it would be like 6/10. But then the story and dialogue comes

You could feel they fired the writer or something and it was probably written by some teenagers . It felt like a cringe Insulting discussion from twitter. Story was braindead
    The choices are more or less for show. The last boss fight was long and boring.
    You could smell the wokism in this game.

    The amount of enjoyment in this game offer is far overshadowed by the actual usability.
    The Parkour side of things just makes it frustrating, with often jumping in between the cracks of the game and the constant glitching when I grab a ledge that was not meant to be. Added to this … sometimes jumps and timings require critical timing and accurate button pressing means you come away more

Added to this … sometimes jumps and timings require critical timing and accurate button pressing means you come away more annoyed and frustrated. I get they were trying to do something more with the series, but it just feels they released this way too early without addressing the major concerns of their showpiece in this game.
    Sad really, and don't get me started on the paraglider. God that unyielding beast is like trying to hang on to bulls balls... and he already woke up in a funny mood this morning. Delays between button presses and actually doing something is not accepted in Gaming. I can already hear how in real life paragliding is blah blah … but I counter that with … dying light world is not set in real life. This is gaming and the difference is so far removed. I want something that works in-game, not real-life experiences … otherwise, I would have taken up paragliding.
    After that there is the mountain of conversation… look lady I don’t care about your singing career in the apocalyptic world. Just give me your quest so I can get my points. And after completing … oh yes I so want more conversation that I am not going to remember, perhaps throw in a song too… Good! God! It seems like the developers were all “visual novel” game designers, where every quest proceeds with a whole life story of the NPC before getting the details.
    This makes you click violently through all conversations regardless of importance. Then suddenly coming to fork road decisions, and you have not paid attention. Now I have to make a decision on a mountain of text I didn’t read and didn’t care about. I googled the correct choice for the first few … after that, I just wanted to see the world burn. Next time, if you’re going to make us read it all, at least show us boobs!
    Then there are a number of smaller things that just pain me, after being wounded deeply by the rest of the game. Some quests completely disappear after I haven’t tracked them, and come back to them later. Parts of the inventory system are also a pain, making the overall stat decisions of armour difficult because you need to switch between multiple screens.
    Which comes to the best … and the worse part of the game. The open world Parkour should have been the jewel … which soon becomes the horse apple (think Shawshank Redemption) of the city. It was actually a true pleasure trying to discover the world and figure out ways to climb buildings. One interesting thing … as I scaled up certain ways, I was left with the impression I was actually making my own way up the wall. That my path wasn’t set in stone, I could actually create/cheat my own way up depending on the level of my character's skill. This made it a puzzle, thoroughly enjoyable and exhilarating to reach the top.
    But coming down was often met with a splat, metaphorically and figuratively, as those little times when the character world physics glitched or downright refused to respond to the commands … it was far more satisfying to walk away from the game and let Aiden meet the pavement.
    Honestly writing this review offered more stress relief than playing DL2. Sad to say as there are some great qualities in this game. The Developers have spoilt their own masterpiece by developing the wrong things in this game.

    It is painfully buggy a year after release. I'm on my second play through in new game plus and it's buggier than I remember during my first one. I cannot call for help, I cannot accept distress signals, my game crashed today, the "Renegades" mission glitched and completely disappeared, causing me to lose over an hour's worth of progress.

    I am very disappointed.

The jump button barely responds, the wide axe swings only hit 1 enemy because the hitboxes are as basic as freaking ps1 games.. and so much more stuff that is devolved over the first game; the visuals are worse, its runs worse than the original aswell, and the first map is maybe the most boring map ever created, ALL the buildings are the same, literally there is like 1 church, 1 hospital and 1 water tower and the rest 99% of the city is just the same house copy pasted. The combat is much less responsive than in the original, combined with the awful collision detection it's just tedious. The parkour stuff is still really fun, with some really cool moments, and the soundtrack is totally awesome, like in the first game! Why this game makes me sad is that although the original had some flaws, it also had all the prerequisites to be a 10/10 zombie sandbox game, instead of that promise they doubled absolutely everything that sucked in the first game and made it more repetitive.

(They used to be well intentioned capable devs that can write good stories, now just money-hungry shills, that make the buggiest game with the least likeable characters, and most poorly constructed story that really doesnt have much of anything to do with Aiden's actual purpose. Not to mention cutscenes not appearing, entire buildings not rendering, music that doesn't fit the story( playing upbeat techno music during emotional death scenes), the skills the game gives you not working, If I didnt know any better I would have thought this was an indie game made by a classroom of pigeons with only one wing. Is this the trend in gaming now? Make one alright game then just make **** after ****?

    These are a miniscule fraction of the terrible broken chunk of unplayable mess Techland is trying to sell.
    MY GAME HAS NO JACK MATT MODEL, NO JUAN MODEL, NO ROWE MODEL. Who are any of these people? should I relate to people I cannot see or hear? If I wanted to read a story I'd pickup a book. The SINGULAR AND ONLY decent aspect of this game, is the parkour. I am beyond dissappointed, I didnt ask for my money back for Battlefield 2042 because that game is still playable. Dying light 2 is more broken, buggy, and poorly made than any game to date. I highly recommend NOT purchasing this game for at least a few more months until they fix the broken product they DELIBERATELY AND MISLEADINGLY sold. These are discgraceful business practices and Techland should be not only ashamed of themselves as indivuals, but should face legal repercussions for ACTIVELY LYING TO ITS CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT THEY MADE. Once again the only decent thing about the game is the parkour. (which in itself is still relatively janky and unrealistic at times). There are plenty more screenshots showcasing how beyond **** this game is at launch.

    Without the major problems this would probably get an 8. It is quite fun for the first 40 hours before the deja vu and "ubisoftasis" repeating structure sets in where you just do the same thing over and over again with copy paste clutter missions.

    However the reason I give this a 0 is because the game is completely unplayable without using mods to remove the horrendous HUD clutter in this game. It is probably the worst I have seen in a very long time and the HUD option "Immersive" is pathetic and like a slap in the face. There is nothing "immersive" about it and there are icons EVERYWHERE. The people in charge of the interface should get fired on the spot. You cant' even see at times because there is so much HUD clutter everywhere.
    I finally could play the game though after finding modders who have removed the HUD and the xray eyes etc. I can't review a game that is fixed by modders though but have to review it as it is when buying.

    Apart from the horrendous HUD there are also many other big problems with the game. For example:

    - Copy paste interiors that all look identical. They are complete 1:1 copy paste of one location to the next. Even the big GRE missions you go on are completely identical. Exteriors look great, but as soon as you get indoors it is like the graphics downgrades 10-15 years and you get a serious sense of deja vu.

    - Controls often feel unresponsive in some ways.

    - Even on hard difficulty the game is so easy you will be bored. It is like it was made for kids. Also many overpowered mechanics, especially the crossbow that makes every other weapon in the game obsolete.

    - Some of the most important "choices" in the game are made for you

    - Picking faction does not really have any effect on the game.

    - Dying has no consequence

    - Zombies feel more like an annoyance than something you are afraid off like in the first game. If you don't mod away the xray vision also then there is zero suspense since you can see every enemy through walls

    - Too many and respawning loot everywhere making loot locations pointless

    -Doesn't have proper ultrawide support, since they add blackbars on cutscenes for...reasons?
    Besides these things that I could verify myself after just 20 minutes of "playing" the game, there's all the complaints made by other people that actually finished the game (ah, the brave ones), such as weak story and bad dialogue. Do not buy this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m not sure where to start with the complete and utter failure of this game. I played it on Xbox series X. The game out of the box was filled with buggy glitches. The story was weak and poorly doled out providing neither a good single player experience or a multiplayer experience. The lack of guns really took some of the fun out of a good four player run going after volatiles at night. When fighting mobs at your own level they are extremely block happy and bullet spongy. I’m fairly certain most humans can’t take five to 10 hacks to the head with a machete. There are no good choices and what you do really does not affect the game at all in fact the traps are far less useful than the original game the general storyline felt like they just made a new crane and gave them a new name. This game leaves you upset with poor fight set ups and terrible bugs and generally nothing to do after you’ve been in the game in two days. The sound bug is absolutely terrible and I’ve been forced into animations by story and falling straight through the floor in a building into levels that don’t exist. I hit one of the larger zombies in the head with 57 arrow to the head…. 57 and they are not recoverable. It really feels like they learned nothing from the original game that was so popular and decided to turn and deliver nothing of the choices and alterations that actually affect the game in the final product this is an incredible letdown. I have played the original dying light through it entirely story probably 7 to 10 times and I’ve also done the following three or four and it was excellent this game has none of that creativity or storytelling. The controls are terrible and Jenkee at best I often press the trigger and get no effect jump kicks rarely work and the kick feature which was key in the original game is complete junk . I feel like there is less tactics and creativity in combat even though they added a block feature . It was much easier in the original game two judo throw people without having to block first they sacrifice too much for this one mechanic . They need to fix this game immediately and there are many many quality of life things that need to be adjusted. All the exotics you got are useless because they are out leveled and then they die and cannot be repaired even the most core fantastic thing that they did in dead island they failed to do in dying light two. Give us a workbench to repair our equipment you make us grind for the upgrades of each pattern there is no need to be completely a loser over the equipment when you finally find something you like. Also would not hurt to make away to infuse gear to current level. The other thing is over half The mobs do nothing but reduce your Health and equipment and provide no loot whatsoever. The final fight with waltz was complete and inspired trash. The final project is a re-warmed dinner of all the things you experienced with Kane story no choices are good and everyone you like in the game dies regardless of what you do. The one thing I liked was the added Hulk volatile mode which would be fantastic if you could activate it and has been a complete and utter missed opportunity. The intelligent Hunter was introduced on the following and it makes me sad that this was never followed through one. It would be nice if there was an expansion if you could play Kane as an intelligent volatile who hides himself under masks just as the mother did in the original game . hunter mode at night Old style kane in the day. The series X game is only 35 gigs I mean there’s really nothing to it I don’t know what they did for the last three years Expand

    Just to preface, this review is coming from someone who is likely in the minority of players but still needs to be voiced nonetheless. This is after 1.05 Patch
    Playing this on Ps4 has been abysmal to say the least. There's a lot of bugs. A lot that I can't even find other players talking about yet. This game clearly wasn't tested for co-op. Many of the bugs not only stem from there, they will pretty much break saves on any user in the session. From affecting key items in your inventory, to skipping missions but also reverting you to choices no one ever made, even going as insane as overlapping both worlds like you're watching two dimensions crash.

    Now the writing can range on a wide spectrum from really bad cliches and "twists" just to not be predictable, to fairly competent story telling. It can jump the shark at times but it still works when going into fun sequences. What drags the story down the most though is the bugs. There's a bug where audio will cut out and dialogue will skip, not just in conversations but while casually running through the world too. You miss out on any crucial details that are suppose to impact your decisions. A heartwrenching moment can just be totally ruined but magically skipping animations and end with you apologizing over a radio. One of the most despised characters will be the ONLY audio you get. This problem compounds and gets worse as you finish the game. In co-op even the dialogue goes black screen. Heck, they decided opening doors should be a special event when so that means taking the time to load a black screen, miss anything the host is experiencing, then come out 2 minutes later getting beat by NPC's or looking nostalgic at an object with no context.

    There's suppose to be this division between saves so your own world doesn't get affected by joining another player, well that doesn't work. I skipped ahead 3 story missions even though I helped a friend at a later point in his game. Its even giving me story missions from choices I never even made. Its hard to even dissect whether the story is an improvement or not when you miss out on so much of it.

    About the Parkour, I have to agree with both sides. With the 1st game it was fun, new, but still pretty stiff. Although the stiffness helped you generally stay on track which works for a fresh game emphasizing parkouring in an open world zombie game. In this game things can be fluid, you can combo and constantly run and gradually upgrade yourself to get past obstacles that would impede you early on. The main issue though is your running on a one button system, meaning all your jumping, grabbing, all your normal sequences unrelated to specific actions hinges on that button working. Combine that with how more open ended the parkour is and you create your own obstacles or do things that weren't intended. Sometimes grabbing doesn't work or you climb instead of wallrun. You'll try to escape an area but you instead grab a door hinge and get hit from behind. The stamina system in general is a terrible idea, especially when it comes to towers. Say what you will about Ubisoft game, at least they will flat out tell you you can't unlock specific radio towers without a tool. In DL2, stamina in terms of towers feels like a complete hinderance even though they emphasize the freedom of movement for everything. Sometimes you can actually unlock towers without the required stamina, sometimes you will actually need way more. Grabbing on to objects wastes stamina, jumping from object to object after grabbing wastes a lot of stamina. This works fine when parkouring because your stamina will replenish while running but those towers? It can be insanely difficult to make it to the end or even prevent you from getting there because of the absurd stamina usage. Some of the tower designs are just meant to drain your stamina rather than have any thought into how you're suppose to progress. It becomes a complete chore and shows some of the seems on how they "improved" mechanics from the 1st game, let alone the fact that open world towers are an outdate annoyance and only around 3 games have managed to make them fun

    Its insanely frustrating that you can see potential in how well this game could work but clearly needed at least 6 months to back or proper play testing before release. You can see how much love and effort was put into much of this game but maybe with a more nuanced perspective, we could have seen a more complete and fleshed out product. If you just want parkour and busting zombie heads, you can always just pick up the first game. Its cheaper and its properly finished as a working product. And if you're in the majority who is enjoying the game without any technical issues, congrats. Meanwhile there's some of us who pretty much would like a refund because its so bad and I think those people should be heard.

    Is the game fun? Kind of? As long as you can make fun of it and just follow quests WITH A FRIEND. By yourself? Go play Days Gone or almost any other BETTER open world and/or zombie game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Начну с того, из-за чего сгорело больше всего - концовок.
    Их 4: взорвать город + уйти одному или с Хаконом, или спасти город + уйти одному или уйти с Лоан. Лучшим вариантом можно назвать последним, так что нам для него надо сделать?
    1. Отдать радиовышку Френку, ебаному пьянице, которого не раскрывали, дали немного информации о его прошлом и все, никаких побочек, дополнительных действий с этой жирной свиньей. При этом есть вариант поставить жучек Хоана и отдать миротворцам, для чего надо было выполнить длинную и довольно интересную миссию с программистом в соборе. Поставив жучок, мы могли бы разобрать, что мутит Мэтт, тем самым раскрыв какой то зловещий план. В итоге было еще 2 больших миссий Хоана, где мы должны были спасти весь город. В итоге городу нихуя не угрожала, полетели ракеты и что дай вышку миротворцам, что выжившим, все пошло бы по пизде в одну миссию. Нахуй я старался, пытался рационально мыслить, хотел в чем то разобраться, надо было просто в последний момент отдать телебашню пьянчуге, забив на жертвы кучи миротворцев, на план, на ситуацию с Хоаном.
    Многие скажут, что я долбаеб, и поверил Хоану, которому не следовало верить... А Я ДОЛЖЕН БЫЛ ПОВЕРИТЬ ФРЕНКУ В ПОСЛЕДНЮЮ СЕКУНДУ? Тупо рандомно поменялось настроение, отдам ему телебашню за мир и за любовь, ему то можно доверять, к ЭТОМУ МЕНЯ ВЕЛ СЮЖЕТ? В итоге для лучшей концовки надо было просто скипнуть весь контент, отдать радиовышку просто на отъебись, и спасти Хакона (тоже долбаеб, но да ладно).

    Теперь к хорошему - бой. Боевка добротная, дропкики не надоедали до самого конца, прокачка оружия и обмундирования не плохая, не считая тупейшего решение сделать гринд необычных зараженных, когда можно было бы делать прокачку из более редких трофеев, без обычных. В конце было около 50 уникальных трфеев, и 5-10 необычных.
    Опять к плохому - сложность. НУ КАК ЗА СТОЛЬКО ЛЕТ БЛЯТЬ НИКТО НЕ НАУЧИЛСЯ ДЕЛАТЬ СЛОЖНОСТЬ!?!?!? Нельзя повышать просто всему статы, даже в гриндилках такого нет, там хотя бы дают большую награду за большую сложность. Должно быть железное правило у каждого разработчика: ВЫСОКИЙ РИСК = ВЫСОКАЯ НАГРАДА. По мне зараженные наносят больше урона, ну тогда и я буду наносить больше урона, или буду наносить его лучшим оружием, или сложность повысит их количество, или количество уникальных зараженных в их рядах, или вообще, даст им новые способности (это я уже мечтаю). Но нет, будем хуярить разлагающийся кусок мяса, который на 3 уровня ниже меня, легендарным оружием с лучшей прокачкой, по 6 ударов.
    Паркур и передвижение по городу неплохое, особенно с получение параплана. Правда бесит, что Эйдан прыгает, как на луне. (И я знаю, что он сверх человек, это не должно ломать законы физики и заставлять его приземляться, как ели бы он был пушинка на ветру)

    A complete let down after the first, clunky parkour, lacklustre story, combat isn’t compelling and extremely slow burning! Everything locked behind skills and upgrades but it takes forever to level up. Just doesn’t feel like a good follow up to the first game.

    That's actually one of the best games I ever played (but also one of the most bugged)

    I love this game. The sense of freedom and the random stuff that happens all the time is just a lot of fun to be part of. It feels like a real place when you are jumping around the rooftops. And the parkour is fantastic. Immerses you in the world in ways I don't think I've ever been in any other game. I feel like I am flying when I play the game.

    Only downside is the weapon system. All

    Only downside is the weapon system. All weapons break quite easily (can last for about 20 minutes with random enemy encounters). But you quickly learn that you can experiment a lot more because of it as you will simply buy new ones that fit your play style.

    Great game!

    - Runs like trash
    - Story is awful

    - Mouse and keyboard binding options are missing or broken with perks
    - Voice acting is all over the place
    - Unnecessary DRM
    - Boring factions
    - Illusion of choice
    - No Italian localization
    - Combat is not any better than predecessor
    - "Stay Human" mechanic is terrible and makes night time annoying, not scary
    - Co-op broken
    - Cross-play promise abandoned
    - Another game that is released with a plethora of bugs
    - $129.99 Deluxe Edition (Pre-order now for your skins kids!)

    When I heard we were finally going to get DL2, I was stoked, I thought Techland would smooth out the combat and give us a compelling story that the first game truly deserved, and when I heard Chris Avellone (Fallout New Vegas & Witcher 3) was on board, I thought this was it, this game will go from great to phenomenal. 2018 E3 rolls around and gives us a 40 minute demo showing some incredible visuals, decent combat, some brand new story branching elements, and even some map changes depending on your "choices".

    Hey, to any gamer out there that has paid attention to the industry in the last 7 years... guess what happened next? 2018 E3 Trailer was a lie, the project turned into a woke political fest, there was major infighting during the development, the game was being overhauled, Avellone was fired for sexual misconduct allegations from 8 years prior, the game fell into development hell, came back out, got re-worked, has no sense of direction, release date pushed back a year or more, and finally gets this release. Do you still think it has a chance at being good?

    No, poor optimization, terrible writing, keybinding issues, quest breaking bugs, co-op doesn't work for quite a few people, cross-play which was promised initially is out, visuals are hit and miss, your choices do not matter, the factions are boring, the combat is the same as DL1, the characters are all uninteresting, the stay human mechanic is just annoying, and sadly the game is just not fun.

    DL1 is a superior experience to this game, so if you have not played that, go back and grab that on sale. The graphics are still solid and the gameplay is actually enjoyable. DL2 is DL1 without any fun. I miss the old grappling hook and swinging around like spider-man, I enjoyed having firearms to ignite barrels with from afar, I thoroughly enjoyed the night-time challenge with the volatiles and the grappling hook parkour, it was fun.

    What happened? My guess is the usual culprit, Politics. Techland hired a bunch of activists who were devoid of talent and were not competent enough to produce a title worth playing. They complained about a "hostile" and "toxic" work environment and wanted to oust the CEO and lead writer.

    Avellone was dismissed after an allegation of sexual misconduct in 2012 (8 years prior to allegation), which was filed by a friend of one of his former partners who was upset about a breakup in 2018? Avellone also countersued the party for false accusations as the claims were never substantiated and he lost work over the last 2 years as a result. Sounds to me like they were lying, just to get him removed.

    Marchewka, Techland's CEO, seems like a bit of an "obtuse" boss, but nothing out of the ordinary to be honest. If these people did not want to work there, they could have just quit, Techland is its own entity, they are not beholden to shareholders like most other developers are, so time crunch, muzzled creativity, and employee retention should not be an issue at all. These employees clearly had an agenda, and could not be satiated.

    Point is, you cannot reboot your game, mid-development cycle, and release a half-baked game that is clearly broken from launch and then patch your way to a completed product over time, that is called "early-access", and on top of that, they have the gall to sell a $129.99 [CAD] deluxe edition with skins. The Denuvo inclusion makes sense now, I would be very afraid of piracy if I released a game in this state.

    Metacritic can allow a million bots to throw 10/10 ratings, but this is not a complete game and it is an insult to fans of the first game. I would give it a 2, but bots gonna bot, so here's a fresh zero. This is not the same Techland from 2015. Politics has reared its head again and destroyed another franchise. Shocker.

    The Bad :
    1.) Story telling is predictable thus boring. Story decision exist is just for the sake of being there, doesn't feel like it is necessary needed to be there in the first place.
    2.) Repetitive fetching quest.
    3.) Identical GRE labs exploration which lost it's unique identity while exploring, very lazy on this part.
    4.) Combat felt janky, cartoony blood flows from enemy and no physics on the ground, bad AI design, enemy take turns to hit you, why not all jump on you at once??
    5.) Parkour felt too floaty, restricted at times and did not feel like an improvement from DL1.
    6.) Lack of NPCs models, stiffed and soulless animations, downgraded NPCs lip sync with weird eyes looking directions while interacting(almost like mess effect 3), and lack of dialogues between main characters and idle NPCs. Limited NPCs movement, you can actually find point A to point B direction from where they move, repetitive.
    7.) Lack of crowd Infected at night, unnecessary spawns of howlers to act as alarm triggers within Aiden's vicinity. Lack of aggressive volatiles chase. Virals had personality in DL1, they were once humans recently turned, and some of that humanity lingered when you fought them. They could beg for their lives in brief moments before the virus took hold, and they could follow you where most infected couldn't. Even their animations and frantic clambering had love and care put into them. None of what made Virals interesting and memorable exists in DL2 and they feel no different than the regular infected.
    8.) Faction system doesn't feel like a choice, more like a chore. Choosing the peacekeepers over the survivors on a mechanical level is stupid because combat is way too easy and unthreatening that their boons provide useless value.
    9.) No unique repairable weapons, for a pilgrim that travel so many places, failed to obtain his own set of weapons.
    10.) Lack of explanation of what end game boss needed to tell the audience why he made the choices he had to, too many cliff hangers, cringe plot line.
    11.) Bugs
    12.) Why hire a hollywood actor when you can use that budget somewhere else like NPCs animations, more budget into story writing directions and creative combat design?
    13.) Why milk the main theme music into different tone of setting in the game and call it a day? It doesn't feel like the music is different while playing the game, just different tone with only one main theme and then picked apart. Feels lazy to me and not inspirational at all.

    Final thoughts, a disappointment for sure, a step forward with two steps back of directions techland is taking into. Will never purchase another product ever again from techland along with cdpr in it.

    - интересный город, здания стали выше, природа живее
    - неплохая русская локализация, по меркам русских локализаций конечно
    Ну а теперь минусы, их к сожалению не мало
    - рваный, куцый сюжет, его как будто придумали большим, захватывающим, а потом просто вырывали огромные куски, так как не успевали к дедлайну. Вы скажите, какой смысл обращать внимание на сюжет в зомби-слэшере? Я согласен с вами, но PR отдел давил на сюжет и его вариативность, как на сильную сторону игры
    - никакущая вариативность, опять же один из обещанных плюсов игры на деле оказался просто пшиком. Вся вариативность заканчивается на уровне финального диалога в квеста/сайдквеста и выборе зиплайнов или ловушек на месте захваченного аванпоста. А некоторые по истине вариативные моменты срабатывают через десяток часов, когда ты уже забыл о своём выборе.
    - финальный твист и в целом злодей вышли пустыми. Мотивации нет, он просто злой.
    - баги анимаций, кривые склейки
    - отсутствие системы ручных сохранений, переназначения кнопок, регулировки FOV
    - удерживайте X что бы лутать КАЖДОГО зомби, при том что даже не в каждом есть лут
    - удерживайте X что бы лутать плоские помойки с нарисованным мусором. 2022 год на дворе, текстуры из SAMP.
    - как это ты не хочешь держать X? Тогда ты не прокачаешь 9 уровней КАЖДОГО элемента своей экипировки, что бы получить +2% урона
    - игра максимально жёлтая, до боли в глазах
    - боёвка, ОНИ ДАЖЕ ЕЁ ИСПОРТИЛИ. Теперь это не зомби-слэшер, это РПГ! Сбивай полоски здоровья, бей врага, ему насрать пока полоска не кончится. И пусть у тебя в руке мачетте или что то другое острое, даже не мечтай об отрубании руки, пока есть здоровье.

    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.
