    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:

    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

Lag of ragdoll, spike not working properly, zombie design is very generic. Disappointed with bolters redesign he looks like a regular zombie now i dont even notice its a bolter. If you look back at Dl1 special infected each of them have iconic design like toad(spitter),fireman(goon),child(screamer),big Army(Demolisher), big green blister (Bolter). Zombie with opened ribcage(Bomber) . we can easily recognize em by just looking at their silhouette. Im seriously having problem with the slowness of the parkour, its too slow, lack of impact feeling, sometime doesn't grab ledge you looking at. Techland said its to prevent motion sickness is not true, it's very irritating and giving me dizzy even more.… Expand

The voice acting and storytelling is spot on but it's under a veneer of completely incompetent combat mechanics. If your game isn't an upgrade from the original one it shouldn't exist. You had nearly a decade You're a major studio what the hell we had so much confidence in you.

    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.

    Gameplay's extremely good, genuinely smooth and exhilarating. The stealth+movement+combat can honestly be sublime.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
