    If you’ve played a zombie game in the past decade, this mishmash of tattered post-apocalyptic stereotypes will feel all too familiar.

    Dying Light 2, as released, has too many technical, design and narrative issues to be fully enjoyable. The game seems hell bent on not letting you enjoy the best it has to offer.

    Dying Light 2’s appeal is, ultimately, more game than story. Perhaps Techland’s developers were presented with their own vexing, profoundly consequential choice, where they had to choose to save one structural component or the other. If so, they picked correctly. This is a video game, after all, and a well-balanced combat system, plus exhilarating parkour with effortless contextual moves, can save even the weakest story. Vice versa seems impossible.

    So far, it’s a game whose core element—exploration—is often engaging, but because much around it is boring, I need the exploration to be more engaging, and the game’s feature gating hinders that. Again, maybe that changes by the end. But it sounds like it’ll take a long time to get there. Supposedly that's a selling point.

But around 10 hours in the quality completely switched. The story went from decent to **** trash, my game was riddled with bugs everywhere making it unplayable. Audio and dialogue was completely **** Avoid this game if your on old gen frame drops are atrocious sometimes even going down to 3 frames a second. The whole “your world, your choices” is complete **** I was having a great time until I got to central loop. Skip this game for now looked much, much better in trailers.… Full Review »
