I could care less about them including or not including an Italian translation as I'm in the united states and speak English. This is just a bad review for a game that was released badly broken. A lot of the parkour stuff doesn't register when u grab on to ledges and u just fall to ur death. The crafting sucks and the immunity meter or whatever u call it was such a lame thing to add on to the game. Really breaks ur immersion when ur looting a place and u have to run for ur life to some uv light. What a waste of 60 bucks. Almost as bad as cyberpunk 2077. I've already had to completely restart my game 2 times and I haven't even made it past the first mission at the Bazar because it won't let me talk to certain characters to progress the quest any further. Uninstalling and reinstalling it did absolutely nothing to remedy the situation. As it stands now the game is completely broken and unplayable. I want my 60 bucks back u lying sneak thieves of a gaming company. Promised the world and then delivered dog crap.… Expand

Leaving the bugs aside for a moment, I am a completionist. I try to get most of the abilities and items as I get into the game, but I feel like the story is forcing me to leave huge amounts of content behind. I had barely scratched the surface of the facilities, windmills, and side quests and nighttime activities in Old Villedor, before I started a story quest and was forced into the Central Loop. There are no metro stations unlocked on my map for Old Viledor, so I cannot get back. "How do I go back?" is just one of the questions the game never answers, in addition to, How do I get to the military drops? Ive seen at least 2 where there is no way to get to the top of the building for the drop. I assume it is locked into a story quest, but no where does it say anything about that. You just waste your time running around a building looking for a way up, and there is none. There are a LOT of buildings like that. What is the use of an open world that I can't get to, and the game does not tell you it's locked?

    I keep getting the message inventory full, but under my inventory it does not display what I have too many items of, if there is a limit for each type of item, or if it's a global limit, what IS that limit? The settlement/facility/windmill thing is a complete mystery. WTF? How are they different, and why are they different? it seems windmills unlock items on the map, but maybe facilities do, too. It's just a jumbled mess. A lot of the time I feel overpowered compared to enemies, yet I am lacking most of the items needed to do the side quests. Im probably going to finish this stupid story mode I can't get into because im fruitlessly chasing upgrades that cannot be accomplished, with tons of content that I havent even touched. I've played 20 hours or so and feel like I wasted at least half of it trying to do things i am apparently forbidden to do in an "open world" game. The list of things to track in this game is endless, and the crafting is stupid. I need UV flashlights. Do I have what I need? Who the F knows?. infected parts (common, uncommon, rare, military tech, nightrunner hideouts , regular hideouts, facilities, checkpoints, windmills, metro stations, and many, MANY more. Make TWO different types at most, then let us fast travel to half of them. It is just a confused and jumbled mess.    … Expand

    bad game, can't be compared to masterpieces we have on ps4 such as Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Death Stranding...but neither with other zombie games such as Days Gone or Resident Evil series. This game just sucks, it has nothing new to offer, it's repetitive and bugged. Wouldn't even accept it as a gift and have refunded it immediately

    I don't usually write reviews, but it's so bad I felt the need to. They recently patched 1.05 for PS4 and the audio and dialogue skipping is worse than it was at launch. For a story driven game, this is game breaking and unplayable. This is Cyberpunk levels of clownery and should be absolutely avoided at all costs.

And the further into the game I got, the more often this happened, until now at level 4 it happens almost every single combat. It means effectively I can't play at all, and I've wasted £50. Throw in a stupid bug where it auto-fast forwards through cut scenes - so you have no idea what's going on - and you have a total and utter waste of time. What a sad shame and a missed opportunity.    … Expand

    Plus, all the last bugs and errors explained before, the new patch put new issues:
    -When doing parkour sometimes it freezes.

    -The sound can disappear.
    -When the night arrives the color of the sky continue being day time.
    -You hit an npc, it freezes and then, without knowing, the zombie or renegade hit you.

If I want a killer story, I'll go replay Bioshock Infinite. That's not why I loved the first game. I LOVE the mix of parkour and zombie survival. This game botched it. Big time. The zombies don't feel like a threat at all. They feebly claw at you and you take damage every time their cartoony fingertips touch you. That's it. No biting. No grabbing. Except when one falls to the ground and just decides to stay there, grabbing at your toes. And the human combat? Absolute garbage. I'm on the hardest difficulty and only die when one of the human enemies glitches and freezes but still magically hits me somehow. This game is laughably easy on hard. The enemies each wait their turn to attack you, allowing you to effortlessly block and attack over and over and over. No adaptation. No decent AI. Trash. The only thing that made nighttime scary in the first game is largely absent, volatiles. Prepare to have nighttime feel EXACTLY like daytime (except for an annoying ass immunity timer) and get ready to be constantly spamming your survivor sense so you can differentiate which of the items are grabbable. The outline of the enemies through walls makes them look like a child's drawing. I could go on and on.… Expand

    Dying Light 2 is a delightfully fast paced game, which has a few persistent issues bogging it down. Most issues have already started getting fixed, such as the audio bugs and auto save issues, but enemies being frozen in place and some quests having NPCs make odd choices still drags it down a bit. Still, even on the older console the game runs pretty great and load times are surprisingly not noticeable. The main story ramps up well with characters that matter and moments that vary from harrowing escapes to fun fights. Every moment of parkour is a treat, and combat does just well enough to stay out of the way, with a day/night cycle that varies, meaning there’s always something new to do. Here’s hoping those issues continue to get ironed out and leave the game to be what it’s best at, a harrowing fast-paced survival RPG with plenty to explore and loot.

    Developer Techland accumulates all they’ve learned from their action-horror catalog, delivering solidly fun zombie-slaying in this sequel. Its long-winded story may miss the mark in keeping you captivated, but the fun to be had more than makes up for that. And the PS4 version is a great option to play, running at very stable performances and maintaining very acceptable visual fidelity.
