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

    This game could be good if it was organized better. Leaving the bugs aside for a moment, I am a completionist.

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

    Game is a ton of fun, but Holy crap the bugs are game breaking. I have no idea what most of the story was about because I couldn't hear the people talking, the dialogue glitch ruined it for me.

    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.
    -At any moment the npc’s and textures can turn gray.
    -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.

The characters voice seem to drop out, and some minor framerate drops, nothing actually gamebreaking, but a quality issue. But the devs are working already to fix those issues, in the coming week.

    2 is playing like more of the same and then some, on the og PS4 it's running great perfectly playable framerates looks great, heard some were complaining long loading times? once it's initially loaded that takes a while, it's acting like there's procedural loading which means there really isn't any obvious loading, open a door to a building and walk inside, same going outside, open the door you can see what's outside and walk straight there.

    You can probably tell there's been a rush to get it out there as it does need some patches, there are bugs and glitches. In the menu screen flicking between the tabs is very laggy 2-3 seconds before anything happens, in the world there are graphical glitches odd Ai with the NPC's, i've not seen anything on Bethesda scale or game breaking yet.

    My main gripe with the way the game is at the moment is the writing and quests, they seem to have only a limited number of lines for the NPC's so you hear the same lines over and over from different people, people who I've never met and the game should totally know that greet me like and old friend, logging on and quests are started or continuing without any input or effort from me (not sure if that is by design though) so it feels like i missed a chunk of story somewhere. Also some quests don't really make much sense and seem ridiculous.

    That being said, it's a really fun game, i'm sure problems will get ironed out and has great potential, i would defiantly buy it again after knowing the problems now.    … 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.
