    don't believe the Hype created by Techland. It's all fake. And fake is the great sales success they described. The truth is games are very unhappy about DL2 because we have been deceived:

    1. graphics has been heavily downgraded from E3 version of 2019 2. the game has hundreds stupid bugs 3. animations are a joke 4. it is boring and mediocre in everything 5. can't be saved manually

    Techland remember that gamers will never forget. You misled us this time about the bad quality of this game but next time we will remember and not buy your games in the future. Gamers will never forget. And you misled us twice by adding that massive junk called denuvo

    Grafisch ist dieses Spiel sehr schlecht. Die Texturen scheinen aus einem Spiel von vor 10 Jahren zu stammen. Das Beleuchtungssystem ist schrecklich, die Charaktere sehen aus wie Papier. Es scheint nicht mit der Ps5 zu spielen, sondern eine Ps4 in der Hand zu haben. Und es ist nicht lustig

    DL2 is so bad I've no words to describe it. Pretty sure most positive reviews here are from Techland employees paid to give fake ratings 10 out of 10. This game's a mess of gameplay, glitches, bugs, broken saves, death loops and other garbage. They totally ruined the very good DL1

It's a disgrace that the developers and publisher thought this is right. I have the PS5 version, ~15-20 hours in and I haven't seen a single cutscene that would actually play as it should. The main story cutscenes are broken to the level that I don't know what's happening, because characters just stand in the corner while the audio plays. Camera is moving into the wall and into other character's groins, Once I saw a character I was talking to standing and her head was twisting around like a propeller. I haven't seen a SINGLE CUTSCENE in the game that would play as "intended". Sometimes I was just talking to a bottle or a baseball bat, in worst cases, there are new characters introduced in audio but I don't see anything from a 2 minute cutscene..
    Regarding the PS5 version: To be honest my first reaction was that damn, that graphics look dated as hell! Textures are blurry, trees especially looking bad. Some textures are amateurish, looks like they tries to compensate detail with chaotically layering noise on top of everything. You could easily tell that it was made for PS4, the level of detail on models id very low, looks like it was optimised for PS4 heavily. It is NOT USING ANY OF THE PS5 FEATURES.. Why call it a PS5 game then? Sometimes I felt the trigger is harder to pull but there's no sophistication behind it, just a blind value. And nothing else.. It plays and feels last gen, including the gameplay..
    The gameplay reminded me of Far Cry series in a bad way.. No matter how powerful you are, your character is forced to be a dumbass in the cutscenes so other characters can get a hand over him, beat him, take his stuff etc.. This kind of a storytelling is lame and should not be allowed.. If you are building a power fantasy about a parkouring high jumping zombie killing hero, showing him get beaten up in every cutscene is just a kick in the balls for the power fantasy of the game.. Absolutely bad game design..
    Characters are introduced in the beginning as they know each other, but let's be honest this is the N+1-th zombie game nobody remembers the first one or their characters that much.. Playing the "familiar card" in this case was a waste of effort..
    Most decisions in the game you have to make are either arbitrary or outright illogical, like destroying a power generator. Really? would you really destroy a power generator in a world where UV light and Power generators literal difference are life and death?
    To be honest, I found all fractions equally irritating, so I made my choices in a way when I anticipated more people to die, but there's no misanthropic choice, the game just forcing you to be enemies with one no matter what you do.. The fractions itself are quite "on the nose", "good people in the church" "bad people are the police". Really? Can you be more cliché?
    Game systems are predictable and outdated..
    Just so I can tell something good too, character models are reasonably detailed, but since the cutscenes are **** altogether, you cannot really enjoy them, unless you like to view them from 1mm up close since the cameras are all over the place..
    The very first running music in the first cutscene is a steal from Ghost in the Shell, from a relatively unknown album called Megatech Body. I mean it was a straight steal, not even just a variation..
    I understand the makers desire to showcase the weapon models they worked on, but removing repair is a ****ty way of doing that.. They could just increase the loot count and make every weapon model useful in a way.

    All in all there' some value in the game, but it would need another half a year or more to fix the bugs, another year to properly make this a PS5 title. In this state I'd not recommend it to anyone except fanatics of the first game.. I'd not recommend it mostly because the Publishers and the Developers were confident to release the game in its current sorry state. I mean none of the cutscenes are working in your MAIN STORY!! How the hell is THAT slipping through QR?

    So, we finally know why there were so many delays: Techland needed more time to downgrade it all to PS4 standards. It's evident from the get-go that this game was not designed, not optimized, for PS5. It's not as broken as Cyberpunk was at its launch, but that's not saying much. I guess we just have to accept this sorry state as the new normal of game business.

Fighting zombies is not fun. Parkour is fun at times, but the whole citi looks so similar that I feel like I've been everywhere, even if it's a new location. Story is ok so far, a few weird decisions, but ok for a zombie game. If you've never played DL1, don't bother with DL2 and go straight to Dying Light 1. I can't find a good innovation in this game, though there are a few. In fact, I think this game should be called Far Light: New Dawn 2. Same crap as Far Cry: New Dawn, boring world with boring weapons, boring people problems. They chose the worst part of the apocalypse, rebuilding a world where nothing happens. I personally don't like it. You can choose between 2 sides you want to help. Survivors and Peace Keepers. Both are stupid idiots, one looks like beggars and the other like paintball kids playing soldiers. You can't manually save so if you glitch into a wall during some missions and die you fail it and bye bye. Most of the characters aren't very interesting and the few that are worthwhile aren't super essential to the story. The zombies feel like they are just there to fill out the world, you almost don't have to fight them, the main opponents are humans. The physics and behaviour of the zombies is disappointing, you just sneak past most of them anyway so they don't see you and when you do fight one you don't break their bones with your punches and they don't X-ray like in DL1 which was one of the best features, you don't break their bones with every punch like in DL1. You're just taking away the Hp's that levitate above them to die, also almost everything here defies physics and zombies, humans and Aiden fly through the air like nothing. You can't throw weapons here, stomp on zombies' heads, my favorite two-legged kick is basically useless and difficult to use here. Overall the skills here are boring and useless. Expand

    I wanted so very much to like this game for what it was. But they’ve stripped everything you ever loved from the first one out of the game.

    But yeah, they might be patched, so how is the actual game regardless? Aggressively mediocre. Combat, while heavy feeling and satisfying when facing hordes of zombies, is simultaneously very basic, particularly against human enemies. Dodge, attack, dodge, attack, win. You find yourself deliberately getting into dangerous situations just to artificially create the feeling of suspense and adrenaline.

    The story is, again, mediocre. Painfully so, to the point where you zone out of cutscenes and making choices just so you can get back to moment-to-moment gameplay again. But even that gameplay is ruined due to a 'countdown' mechanic, where you need to return to base every few minutes or you'll die.

    It's not all bad. The parkour is as good as ever, and in some ways improved. The environment is great but ruined by all tension being taken out of everything due to a type heat vision through walls and ceilings telling you EXACTLY where every enemy is in every building. Compared to Dying Light 1, this is chalk and cheese, especially at night where the first game had a genuine feel of dread/terror at venturing out at night. DL2, definitively, does not.

    Unless you're a mega fan of this world and absolutely need to play something in it, wait for a heavy sale on this one.

    Story's really bad and so in your face that it's hard to ignore. Really clunky 2010 YA movie level writing and surprisingly poor character animations give characters ES: Oblivion vibes rather than the seriousness their writing clearly intended.

    Performance is extraordinarily bad, walking through different areas basically rolls a diceroll to determine a multiplier for your fps. In a span of about 15min, you can get 60fps in a dense city area, walk indoors to get hit with 30fps, then walk back into that same dense city area to get 15fps. The glitchiness and bugs are worse than Cyberpunk's at launch.

    Everyone in my Discord server playing it at launch was on a cycle of playing in 30 min stretches before needing to restart for various reasons. Some times the menu freezes, sometimes the game just locks up, mission critical AI or prompts just completely break. This is made infinitely more terrible by the complete exclusion of manual saving or even the basic ability to restart from checkpoint. You have to either quit to menu or Windows to access checkpoints, which makes the game's bugginess infinitely more unbearable.

    The graphics are wildly inconsistent on a spectrum that ranges from Far Cry 3 at worst, 4 and 5 for the most part but admittedly giving Far Cry 6 a run for its money every so often. The whiplash from experiencing the last two generations of Far Cry games within a 10 minute stretch of gameplay is on par with what I'd imagine time travel would be like.

    Cyberpunk fell on its face doing actually actually attempting technically mind-blowing graphics, art and storytelling. This game is just nowhere near ambitious enough for me to even make baseline excuses for what a mess it is. The actual game seems like it's a ton of fun, can't wait to play it in 3-6 months.

    Another unfinished game that's released to the public. I genuinely think there could be a good game here but as of right now its filled with bugs and poor performance that ruin it for my experience. Even with a $60 before taxes price tag, I'd still recommend waiting for a sale and/or a major update to the game.

    Every aspect of the game is worse than the first Dying Light despite the graphics which are better but not that better.
    - The story is a plothole itself
    - technicaly the game is mediocre: The animations look way worse than in the first one, killing moves, parkour all of them. - THERE ARE NO ZOMBIES. In the first one you couldn't go through the streets because they were really crowded

    Overall, the game looks outdated since it looks like a 2013-14 ubisoft sandbox game with no soul.
    So disappointed.

    Let me start by saying gameplay is very nice and lots of fun but they need to polish the games a bit more these days. And this game was not even in the polish fase. Multiplayer which is the selling point of this game is still in a broken BETA fase. It is frustrating playing on launch with a buggy build in COOP. Still too many bugs and gamebreaking issues.

    Singleplayer works i guess but

Multiplayer which is the selling point of this game is still in a broken BETA fase. It is frustrating playing on launch with a buggy build in COOP. Still too many bugs and gamebreaking issues.

    Singleplayer works i guess but COOP is so broken, desync, duplicated objects like chests, gastanks, explosions not syncing, Keypresses not working, the worst of all is that your [Q] button just stops working all the time so no scanning. And this delay/bug also works for other keys so many times you fall to your death because key stop working in COOP. Singleplayer no issues. It looks like they try to sync your Keypresses to the host but that should be Client side, As soon as the matchmaking server goes offline you lose your connection. P2P anyone??? It is very VERY frustrating to play in COOP.

    Also it is a CONSOLE port game, everything is taylored to Console and controller. Your weapons, tools etc must be chosen with a long press, no easy weapon swap with scroll wheel, no they add scroll wheel to your trowables. It is such a shame, DL1 was EPIC. this is just a sloppy secondhand game. Too much focus on Story which is really bad, very bad acting, sound design is very bad, Adults do child voices it is sooo cringy.

    The gameplay, parkour zombieslaying is the only thing that is OK. the rest is soo cringy and bad. DL3 will be a NO buy next time. Such a shame

The infected are too easy to fight and usually die in one hit they mostly stand there and stare at you rather than attacking you "Pacifist Zombies" me and my friends call them, Further more the chases at night are also boring, the game just spawns a few dozen howlers in the streets and if they spot you, you usually get a few weak infected that chase you down and do 1HP if they can hit you that is. The Parkour, i die more from weak Parkour physics than i do from actual infected (i've not once been killed or downed by infected) The Running and jumping is great but the actual climbing needs work. All together i don't think this is a game i can be bothered to finish, it's a weak follow up to the previous game which had much better protagonist and characters which were funny and iconic, where as the characters in Dying Light 2 were boring and just had no personality, just like Aiden. also this game is not even pushing next gen standards at only 1080p60fps on Playstation 5 when the console could easily run at 4K60fps Expand

    What a bad start of 2022 and a waste of my 70 euro's.
    This is nothing like the game we were promised in 2018.
    We have been UBISOFTED..
    Ugly graphics, combat / physics is a massive downgrade from Dying Light 1.
    Main story is boring and forced onto the player,
    the game is full of ugly immersion breaking HUD.

    Only positives are the parkour and the soundtrack which i quite like.

I didn't expected much, could be even same with new story and locations, maybe improved animations and some more moves.

I didn't expected much, could be even same with new story and locations, maybe improved animations and some more moves. At the beginning i must say that i played just 4 hours, so i finished prologue and i immediately went out to smash some zombies. My first reaction after beating some of them was like: "no way". I knew they deleted ragdoll system from DL1 but i never expect this disaster - now u are just smashing them like in Dead Island and i don't know why it remains me also 7days to Die instead of Dying Light. I have totally no fun in fighting zombie at all, i was just spamming left mouse button and sometimes healing - that's the whole combat system, awful. Fighting against humans is more entertaining than in DL1 but to be honest i think that if they would add pairing to DL1 combat style it would be already better than this. About a parkour - i hate that i can't sprint whenever i want, probably parkour might be better when u unlock more skills but it clearly simplified compared to DL1 i guess just to make game easier for kids (*for me same thing like EA did BF2042) and it feels TOO SLOW. City look's also simplified and i felt like there is just few routes to go when in first one i was making my ones. New night system a.k.a chase stars from GTA might be a not that bad, expect that night in DL1 was so much better. Game lost this atmosphere of danger and the whole game looks totally no sandbox but like scripted RPG game and it's not on Witcher's 3 level. In my opinion they get rid of things that was keeping me in DL1 for years instead they gave my totally basic combat system with lack of animations and changing the all rules how zombie works in sequel compared to original one (zombies are inside at days, leaving at night + u can meet Volatiles when u gain chasing level) are very freakin bad. How u can get rid of core of franchise? I loved the momentum when i saw full streets of zombies in DL1 and i liked to watch when they were falling over everything. Im not gonna judge on optimization but on RTX 2060 on medium-high without RTX i have like 50-70 fps, playable. There are some glitches ofc but they will fix that i guess. What i don't like about graphic, it seems more cartoonish - it's not on Borderlands Level but i prefer more "realistic" DL1 style. City looks imo bad, no chance vs Harran. About music? I don't know, first theme in prologue gave me that minecraft feeling, in best case fantasy RPG game like PIllars of Eternity - but again, world looks so empty like in izometric RPG where only your actions have impact. It's not living at all. For these who liked same things like me in DL1 - think twice about bying it. BTW. better start on hard, there is totally no challange on normal Expand

    One positive thing - in our country, this game is very cheap, about $35 for the Playstation 5. But even for that price, I wouldn't recommend buying it, even if they fix the insanely many visual, gaming and technical bugs. It's outdated boredom game for 2022 and nextgen console gaming!

The skill tree is so boringMain story is incoherent, bad and characters makes no sense. For a game that claims to have a lot of choices you often don’t or when you do get to choose it’s about random trivia that you won’t care about. People are dying and we need to do something fast but yes let me ask about this guys tattoo instead for some reason. There’s also nothing to do in the game. The skill tree is so boring that you won’t care when you level up. Weapons break so fast so you won’t care when you find a legendary new one. Clothes claim to change your stats but it’s so insignificant that it does not matter. I then thought “I’ll just choose the ones I think look cool then instead”, but they all look boring. Side missions are a joke. First side mission I tried was about a guy talking about a fish!? that’s it!? The majority of side missions I’ve tried are them pointing at a challenge. Don’t try to trick me this is a side mission, it’s just a challenge with a guy pointing at it. I usually play almost all side missions in open world games and this must be the worst I have ever experienced claiming this game has side missions.

    The first game was awesome. Did it have flaws? Yes the main story was not great but the overall game was awesome. I feel like the only thing, for some reason, they took from the feedback from the first game was that people was not a huge fan of the main story. And their response was let us create a much worse story and only focus on that, so that what was good about the first game is just not present anymore! Where are the legendary blueprints you could find? Fun skill tree? Side missions? There is nothing to do in this empty open world. Nothing to work towards. Nothing to save up money for or a skill I want to get. The skill tree is really weird for some reason I could just pick the last skill in both trees as one of my first skills. That makes no sense. I played this game on hard difficulty but I just felt that they made resources more scarce. I upgraded some of my blueprints at the beginning but I never had enough resources to actually use them. Whats even the point of making an open world game if there is nothing to do except for the main story (which was bad).

    The world has a lot of copy paste content. All indoor sections look the same. They even ruined the day/night cycle for exploration. In the first game you could choose if you want to explore a volatile nest during the night or day. More zombies are inside during the day but it can be more difficult and scary to get to the nest during the night. In the second game they claim to have the same choice but it is just not true! I was inside a GRE facility during the day and the zombies spawned right on me by the second. I wanted the challenge but the game did not let me. Why lie about this feature when it is not implemented in the game. Fat zombies literally spawned and exploded on me every 10 seconds because it was during the day!?

    The only thing that was fun about this game was laughing about how bad the story was. People constantly calling you telling you that they love Lawan and if you hurt her they will get mad. I DON’T KNOW LAWAN. Why does everyone in this game care for Lawan? Why even fight amongst each other? Just make amends and bond over the fact that you all LOVE Lawan! If the game did not force Lawan and her kill list (really is she 5yo?) down my throat I might have enjoyed Lawan as a character more. But now she together with the rest of the story just feels like a cringy mess. You where not able to make a linear story in the first game. What made you think you could pull of a story with choices? Like I can’t climb this rock but I’ll show them, I’ll climb Everest! Why!? The studio really doesn’t have the maturity to create a game with several choices. To do that successfully you truly need to be able to create characters with depth not just black and white characters. This was embarrassing and I really can’t understand anyone giving this game a higher score. I’m not even going to talk about the bugs although they are game breaking and very common. Fixing the bugs won’t change my opinion or score of this game. You can clearly see how they struggled with the vision for this project. Messy leadership leads to messy game.

My very first playthrough, I was running in the city and my screen turned black, then got around 10 mission complete and teleported me and locked me in the 2nd map when my main quest was still in the first with no way to return. Started a new game, did everything that I could in the first map and when I got to the 2nd map, I barely even wanted to play anymore. Sound bug, Quest bug, Multiplayer bug, Falling through the ground, the game is basically broken. I DO NOT RECOMMEND seriously guy save your money it's not worth it. Expand

    Uno de los peores juegos que he probado en mi vida. Experiencia de juego técnicamente atrasada, gráficamente fea y aburrida. Misiones para llenar el mapa, narración sin lógica. Comandos no editables. Terrible

The first game was an unforgettable masterpiece that changed the generic formula of zombie games and will be remembered for a long time. But dying light 2 unfortunately didnt provide me with as much entertainment as it's predecessor. I'm shocked at how they butchered the parlour with the stupid addition of moon gravity jumping, slow as **** vaulting and climbing and the overall default running speed is unbelievably slow, especially when you compare it to the first game. Weapons are far too weak even in the endgame (yes I have finished the game) zombies are still tanky but most of all fighting the zombies is just a big cure for insomnia. They don't have ragdoll physics, there is no weight to your weapons at all, and they barely stagger when you hit them. Fighting zombies in the first game was 1000 times more fun in the first as there was so many ways to kill them but in this game they don't even tumble when you kick them off of rooftops they just freeze and fall straight down like a loony tunes character. I know that alot of people love this game and good for them but many of those people I know haven't even played the first. On my final note feel like I need to mention that this games graphics have almost zero character compared to the first. The first games graphics really popped and had so much character. Yes there are more polygons and rendering but you will never be able to distinct where you are unless the buildings are taller because you will be seeing the same mossy green rooftops the entire game. In the first game I knew where I was all the time because no place looked the same and the old town especially had alot of distinctive areas like the town centre full of zombies or the danger zone that played a fake message leading into a trap with a serial killer. Plus the nights are just not scary anymore. It is way to bright to be even classed as night. it should be called evening instead. There a no more roaming volatiles and the special infected are almost never present apart from the howler. I think I saw a banshee and a volatile about 2 times my entire playthrough which one of each was scripted btw. And you will never feel afraid at night like you did in the first. I wish I could praise the game more but the only beneficial change is the combat between humans. If I was to suggest what to play instead, I would suggest the platinum edition of dying light 1 Expand

    Been out 3 weeks & is totally unplayable for near enough everyone No regular updates on regard to fixes no response from customers who pay their wages nothing.

    After being delayed so many times I wish they had just delayed another year rather than release this unplayable sham of a game.

    They can release stupid 'DLC' (if you can even call it that) but cannot fix the game. I don't think I could ever purchase another game from these inexcusable idiots.

    On top of everything they give you a tutorial which is not optional & works but takes a couple of hours so you're already past the refund window which is what I believe a deliberate act on their part as they know the game is completely broken & should never EVER of been released in such state.

The rest is plaim **** the story makes no sense, it is off in so manh aspects that it is mind blowing it make it to launch like this. The weapons are all the same with blunt, slash, 1h and 2h next to rhe name..

    Don't get me started on the multiplayer... a complete garbage bug fest that is just unplayable.... typicall triople a bull****

    Le mode coopération n'est pas fluide voire bugué, les trophées sont insensés concernant les inhibiteurs ou l'argent du jeu. C'est soit on joue des centaines d'heures sans se tromper dans le dosage des inhibiteurs pour débloquer un trophée soit on utilise des failles du jeu pour dupliquer son argent.

    L'histoire manque de sérieux et des personnages sont inutilisés, le gameplay est répétitif et les quêtes secondaires notamment. Les zones de quarantaines sont identiques en zone, en comportement et en monstres. Les ennemis sont prévisibles et la fluidité du jeu s'estompe au bout de 20 minutes de jeu. Le mode résolution est injouable. Libérer les stations de métro revient à faire à chaque fois la même chose avec quelques zombies ou ennemis à l'intérieur mais rien de vraiment flippant.

    Et SURTOUT, WTF des rapaces ??? Ils sont ou sérieux la nuit ? Il y en a 2 dans les zones de quarantaines. Ok pourquoi pas, mais ensuite quand ils sortent la nuit ils sont ou ? Dans les rues c'est zombie et hurleurs, même quand les hurleurs nous détectent c'est pas avant le niveau de poursuite 3 qu'on voit arriver des rapaces. Ils sont où sérieux ?? À part après la détection la nuit est ennuyante. Tout comme la journée. Les zombies sont peu différents les uns des autres.

    Et pleins d'autres bugs... C'est dommage j'attendais beaucoup de ce jeu...

    It's not only a bad sequel to Dying Light, it's just a bad game in general.

    My friend and I dived into the first Dying Light a year ago and although the game was quite outdated at that time, we finished the whole game in coop with pleasure. It was a great action game with a quite satisfying combat system. The story started okay but became boring quite fast, but this didn't spoil the action. New skills and tricks helped to keep the game fun while we progressed through the story.

    Dying Light 2 lacks everything that made the first game fun. It introduced a bunch of RPG mechanics that don't give anything to the gameplay. The combat system is no longer satisfying. Now you need carefully work on your build and check all the numbers instead of killing a bunch of zombies with a nice slash. If your weapon is a lower level than it needs to be - you will be slashing one zombie for a very long time.

    My other issue with the game is that it's SO bugged. For a game that's been out there for quite a few months, the amount of bugs is ridiculous. We were stuck in all possible places, some quests were impossible to finish because of the bugs, animation of zombies lagged all the time. They were randomly running in different directions, then teleporting to different places. Sometimes they ignored us like we were not there, sometimes people and zombies were staying near each other without any interaction. Human enemies were rather dancing around rather than fighting. Instead of immersing in a scary and dangerous world, the game looked like some kind of freak show.

    And the story - it's just meh. After the first two hours, we started to skip most of the dialogues.

    I think the best sum up for this review is that after 6 hours in-game we simply deleted the game and felt relieved.

    in general terms, I didn't like the game much, but killing zombies is pretty cool. there are enough bugs in the game, the plot is trash, the characters are wooden. in general, the game is suitable for beating zombies with friends

    There was really nothing wrong with DL2. Could it have benefited from Avellone's writing chops? Yes. But, he killed that option himself by not Staying Human. Anyway, the story is sufficient. It's no marvel of skill, but more than adequate, and with an eye towards a big fun, if cliched adventure. Pacing was excellent.

    The actual quests all made sense, and side quests were sensible.

    The actual quests all made sense, and side quests were sensible. Gameplay though? Gameplay was on point. Parkour was awesome, drop kicks were as hilarious as expected, and the parry riposte system was perfect. Weapon selections were cool. City design was also great, and factions, while not as vast as were planned with Avellone, definitely had an impact on the city and the gameplay.

    Graphics and audio were also on point. No complaints there either.

    Was it as gritty and no nonsense as the first game? No. Was it better from a parkour standpoint? Yes. Plus the gliders were really cool as well, and combat was equitable. From my perspective, listening to reviewers jaded about the lack of Avellone is a mistake. At least at this point in the game's life, it is unquestionably an excellent experience. I'd really look at reviewers trophy counts/gametime before giving them any traction. The review bombing on this title was definitely in play. My game info can be found under the same name I use here.

    Took about 45 hours for me to complete the game on normal difficulty with a fair amount of side quests complete. Double my gametime if you intend to complete everything. There's a lot to do and it never gets boring.

    Dying Light 2: Stay Human looks more like a DLC to the first game than a whole new one. This does not mean it is a bad game, but it is not one that you should rush to buy. It looks and feels like you are playing the same Dying Light from years ago, and despite the storytelling being solid and entertaining, it is not enough to justify buying it right now.

    Delivering a huge improvement on the first title, but lacking with new features, Dying Light 2 Stay Human is quite fun, brutal, rewarding and a game of exceptional quality when it comes to the open world. Minor issues still exist here, but Techland successfully manages to live up to the hype surrounding the game.

    Dying Light 2 ups the ante from the original in almost every way, offering more satisfying parkour, combat and enough jump scares to make you never want to walk in the darkness ever again. A worthy and essential sequel.
