    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!

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.

    - 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.

    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.

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.

    It's a game I've tried a lot, but I've never liked it. It's definitely not a game that fulfills what the producer promised. Unless the price drops as much as the first game, it's not worth buying and playing.

    They need to add more ragdoll physics and fix the reported CO OP issues. And add crossplatform play (remove denuvo too!). Apart from that, it's a great game and a worthy and needed successor to the aging previous game.

    Also why are people so childish because of the people who want italian language? It was in DL 1 why not in 2? The game is a regression everywhere. Im not italian btw but i can understand them.

    But i played in german and the dub is absolutely low effort and bad. It was okay in DL 1 Kyle was actually really good . But DL 2? Hell no. Switched to english better but for an AAA Game.....well.....

    7 years 1500 people worked on this garbage? You should search a new job. It will be a success financially but cyberflop was too.

    Even if bugs and Performance were perfect it would be a mediocre copy paste open world game. Why this wanna be rpg garbeg in every game smh.

    Make DL 3 better but i doubt it. Even dead island is more fun.

Apparently, many people do not know that they need to look at the system requirements before buying. If we talk about the game itself, the graphics were unusual to me and partly soapy, but all this is solved by the settings inside the game itself. There are a lot of interesting places in the world where you can find a variety of loot and it was very interesting for me to go into different buildings and other enclosed spaces in order to just climb there. The action is unusual, and there are all sorts of problems due to bugs, but let's hope that it will be fixed soon.

    I agree, in this form at the moment, the game does not deserve 10/10, but I put such an assessment in order to somehow deal with whiners who do not know how to read system requirements or cannot run the game at all on their "calculators".

    - Побочные задания 50/50. Иногда попадается запутанная история с несколькими возможными исходами, а иногда надо просто что-то принести.
    - Лицевые анимации сделаны довольно паршиво.
    - НЕЛЬЗЯ чинить оружие (это печально).
    - Обычные зомбу, что живут на свету очень вялые и безобидные.
    - Некоторые детали не отполированы. Например, физика воды отсутствует, какие-то анимации выглядят коряво.
    - "Орлиный взгляд" довольно сильно оказуалил игровой процесс, как и то, что смерть особо ничем не наказывает игрока, а просто респавнит поближе.
    - Довольно-таки сложная и долгая прокачка снаряжения и навыков.

    Плюсы:
    - Общая атмосфера, палитра цветов и карта.
    - Очень много активностей, квестов, интересных точек на карте.
    - Харизматичные персонажи, запоминаются.
    - Хорошая озвучка, такое встретишь нечасто (русский мат в ассортименте).
    - Много холодного оружия, улучшения к нему из первой части никуда не делись.
    - Если в первой части ночью не было особо смысла вылазить, то здесь большинство ценностей нужно искать в темное время суток. Многие квесты также доступны только ночью.
    - Паркур и боёвка очень плавные и проработанные.
    - Мир довольно живой и насыщенный базами фракций, бандитами. Можно часто встретить этих людей, чем-то занятых
    - Система фракций, на мой взляд, реализована довольно здорово и влияет на геймплей.
    - Не понимаю, за что так засрали сюжет. По моему мнению, цель главного героя хоть и банальна, но подача и сюжетные квесты довольно интересны. В сюжете действительно есть ключевые моменты, от выбора которых зависит судьба города и персонажей.

    С учётом скорых патчей и фиксов - твёрдая восьмерка.

This game is nothing like Cyberpunk in terms of glitches when that game got released. There is nothing major to report. This game is definitely released in much more polished state. I cannot wait to sink in hours upon hours in this title. I highly recommended. I was lucky to save Epic Games coupon for Dying Light and saved $10 on this brand new release. 2022 started on a great note with this game.

    Really good game, gameplay is really fun. I don't know why others give it 0/10 because of denuvo or bad story. For me, story is good in it's own way.

    If I had one criticism, it would be the choice in American voice acting. The voice acting is excellent, that's not the issue. The issue is the accent. Villador is somewhere in Europe.

I understand that the English language version needed to have English speaking voice actors, but it would have been more immersive to have Europeans speaking English with their native accent. That's my only complaint, and it's so minimal it's hardly worth mentioning at all.

    This game is a 10/10 for me. It checks all the boxes. It's all the things in a game I love, specifically in the Action Adventure RPG category. I love the Far Cry series. I love RAGE 2. I love Cyberpunk 2077. I love the Metro series. I love Mad Max. I love Tomb Raider. I love The Division. I love the Red Faction series... and I love the Dying Light series.

    Techland... you've done it again. Improved above and beyond the first game, which I love, and will still always play... thank you... thank you so much! Masterpiece! Instant classic! So glad I preordered. Can't wait to see what DLC is planned, and what's next!

    It'd a damn good game but it has some issues. The main problem is the story - the construction of it is misconseptive and unfortunetly your choices don't come together at the right moment, feel like they don't matter at all, and you really don't develop any bonds with so generic characters.

    (dialogue feels like someone wrote it not in his native language and then translated it back if you catch my drift - writing is filled with flat epithets, **** comparisons, moments straight from a B-movie like "Welcome to the paradise" - I mean Jesus Christ, give it some heart, some originality, spice, flavour, not this mumble jumble bullsh*t - It is apocalypse after all!)
    So the actors generously endowed with these type of text either nailed it (Aiden) or meh or there was something like Hermann (I have a suspicion that he read the script and was like "Hey guys maybe make my character deaf and spare me this opportunity allright?")
    Animations sometimes work, sometimes don't, there are many bugs to be resolved by devs.
    Gameplay is fantastic, parkour mechanics, fighting system - after couple of hours in a game it just clicks and you want MORE and MORE and MORE and MORE (SUPER...HOT...SUPER...HOT) - which of course is strictly tied to skill system that feels really rewarding and well measured.
    Side quests are fun like a piñata - those mini-stories were so much better than a main one.
    Art-style presented at E3 was superior to the looks of final product but I mean... it's still gorgeus
    Graphics is not top tier by any means, and optimalization is 5/10 (PC)/but music is memorable and sound effects are crispy and enjoyable.
    Some changes like risk at night, lack of guns (but there is a bow and a spears), Weapon upgrade system, crafting etc. - Opinions about it are arbitrary for example most folks didn't play at night in DL1 and now folks complain because it is too easy and they don't feel pressure - i mean you can't both have a cookie and eat a cookie

    It's a very fun game, the most of it can be repaired within a year, and I have complete trust in Techland that it's going to be 2 points better - but for now - it is what it is.

    Game is amazing my only complaints are the story and the enemy variety.

    Developers, don't be fooled by these **** who didn't bring the language, your game is a logical development of the first part, in the second you improved everything, something to a lesser extent, the game pulls 9 points unambiguously, for the heavy atmosphere, the screams of people who are torn apart by zombies, excellent parkour and a normal plot, thanks to the developers for the game

Occasional frame drops, but not anything that have interfered with my actual gameplay. Have encountered few visual bugs, nothing major. I really enjoy how there's so much to do during the night in this game. The first game didn't really give me a reason to go out at night - here there's a whole new experience at night, places to go that you "can't" go during the day. I also really like how you are weak in the beginning (I see a lot of people compalining about this) but I really like it. It's a lot more immersive for me, makes it more realistic, and gives a greater feeling of achievement, as things take time to progress in. I like it. Haven't played far enough in the story to really know how much of an impact my choices have - so far I'm enjoying the storyline, but agrees that Aiden is a bit boring lmao.

    I wish there was weapon repairs tho, but maybe a bit more balanced than the first game. Here, your weapon breaks to fast, in the first game it lasted too long. (in my opinion) Overall a really good experience with room for some improvements. It's been a while since I've been this excited about starting a game up, definitely, definitely enjoying it!

    A really fun game where parkour plays an important role, a big city full of nooks waiting to be discovered. Add to that a fun dueling system and it turns out that the game has a lot to offer players. A funny glitch appears here and there, but nothing would ruin your game.

The weapons apart from 2-handed ones lack weight. Zombies feel less like a threat and more like time wasters here which takes away from the atmosphere of the game. Apart from that while combat with humans is a lot better than in the first game the AI often feels dumb. The open world itself feels like old ubisoft open worlds where you will be doing the same things over and over but they always attach a spin to each thing and make it feel unique. Some people may dislike this design I however enjoyed it thoroughly. The upgrades trees are just like in the first game genius and the progression is satisfying. The stamina change really makes a difference in the open world however at times it feels like the system was changed in a way to keep you away from progressing too fast through the story and gatekeep you from completing certain activities. The story is really boring with tons of plotholes, inconsistent characters which also often are really flat or annoying and quite cliche plot drive with a lost family member. There's also a ton of junk in terms of bugs but sooner or later they will get fixed and they weren't a dealbreaker for me. Overall the game lives up to both first game and expectations and while it has it's cons it is fun and really enjoyable with tons of content to sustain players interest and keep them playing, 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.
