    This game has only ONE flaw! It's BAD.
    So I need help. How can I get my money back?

    terrible game. Graphics looks very old, it's ugly, textures look dated. Gameplay is generic and quests are repeated similar with no emotional feeling. Story has no meaning. Commands suck. Saves go corrupt

    Игра прекрасна своим миром и паркуром, но множество багов просто убивают все наслаждение от игры, как в прямом, так и в переносном смысле.
    Постоянное пропадание иконок мест, которые уже были открыты, зацикленные квесты, появляющиеся после каждой загрузки, "петли смерти", забаганные ачивки и много чего ещё.
    Пока проблемы не исправят, оценка будет 0.

    Unfortunately this Port was very poorly made, there is no option to hide the hud, whoever has an OLED screen is vulnerable to burn in.
    And it also doesn't have dynamic resolution, in performance mode the game is very blurry on an oled c1, looking like a PS3 game.
    Total regret buying this game at launch.

    This game is not for the 9th generation at all. Something like the 7th generation games. Running with moving hands is ridiculous. Looking for items is ridiculous. The quality of the textures is very bad.

    Over a year after Dying Light 2's release and shortly after Tencent's acquisition of them, Techland has added microtransactions to Dying Light 2. This is pathetic.

Remember the whole game reveal where draining the water was significant? Not a major thing. Remember when it said your choices matter to the story? It all ends up convolved together to get to the same point. I had every glitch you could encounter, I had characters stop talking with no mouth movements and no subtitles so I had no idea of the story in the beginning, I fell through the map, I got stuck, enemies would glitch through the roof, missions wouldn’t spawn, collectibles gone, couldn’t walk out of an invisible box, trophies glitch, character endless falling animation, graphics going completely haywire, Easter eggs not triggering and I managed to get outside the first island before it was finished and explore the second island… The story was boring, the music score wasn’t blended well with the surroundings to the point you knew a chase scene was happening before it happened, and the missions were so stupid. Why’d I get xp from listening to a guy talk about fish? Oh and the whole fact of being able to farm xp at night. I hated every second of the 200+ hrs I put into this game. How did you get it so wrong techland when you had an incredible foundation from the first game? Expand

The combat is a mess with enemies able to hit you without actually being near you, the parrying mechanic doesn't seem to work as it should and the amount of glitches and bugs just disgusting. Some of the issue could easily have been fixed with the ability to make manual saves. Quests appear and disappear. Some quests just glitch out or dialogue options that should be present suddenly aren't. Worst of all are doors that no longer open. I was stuck inside one of the bases and no reloading the game didn't fix it. I actually got out by glitching through a wall. I finish virtually every game I play but I simply dread coming back to this because I have no idea what nightmare will await from game maker laziness. Expand

    I usually give some pros and cons about a game but I did not find any 'PROS' about this game
    CONS
    1. Bad story
    2. Poorly optimised- 1080p@60 fps on latest consoles is downright appalling. The graphics are not that good so why is the game so demanding?
    3. Loads of bugs and glitches
    4. Poor mechanics- that too in first person will make you motion sick and might give you a headache.
    5. Lazy Side quests and way too many of them
    6. Combat- it is so bad that you will always try to avoid it.
    7. Too much filler to distract you from the hilariously bad story but even that too is equally bad
    8. And ya.....no HDR
    9. BAD voice acting

    Parkour is nice but it too gets stale after a while

    I usually try to get the maximum trophies I can, for a game. But I just gave up here. I ultimately decided to end the main story somehow and be done with it.
    Such games call for a demo to try the game beforehand.
    DO NOT PICK THIS GAME UP....I cannot emphasize this enough. Many other outstanding games came out around the same time like Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring. Try those and your money will be very well spent.
    500 hours content...clearly only quantity, no quality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first one, kiccin random freaks off roofs and blowing them tf up you got guts and bits of meat flying around everywhere looking like a slaughter house on delivery day, but this one just sucks. It doesn't at all give you the feel of the older game in terms of the atmosphere, but at least this time it has a boss fight..well the boss fight is full of bugs and the Waltz dude you have to fight can just mystically punch you the fucc out from about 10 meters away. It's a pretty game don't get me wrong but good graphics don't make up for bad gameplay. On top of that, all the survivors and enemies themselves are either weird or just plain dumb as **** They don't at all give you a sense of "oh OK this here is a bad mf I best watch myself now" nah they just drool and wait for you to do stuff. It's just another let down game building off the success of the previous. Everything is like a crappy emulated version of what it used to be, the grapple hook used to be dope like a great value spider man now all the hook does is let you dangle like sweaty nuts on a hot day. Plus their new boomstick replacement for guns is lame lame, where is my golden double barrel? I don't give any ****s about them wanting more medieval fighting or their in-game monument I want a blicky to violate the violitiles. Thus in conclusion the first game used to go as hard as a armadillo on viagra, now this one is about as stiff as a grampa with dysfunction. Expand

    The voice acting is awful, and quests are an endeavour to see how long an individual can withstand terrible level design and boring objectives. Parkour is floaty and underwhelming. It lacks the connectivity and oomph of the first game.
    In my opinion, Dying Light 2 Stay Human is not a good game. I really enjoyed the music and how it would intermittently cut out as you leapt from roof to roof; very smart detail. Only gameplay system I liked

    Unplayable, my PC is dying - the game name was spot on. It's not possible to have a game at that price in this condition.

    I just couldn't resist and decided to write a review. I just burned out on the initial missions, when you need to get into the sewers at night, but you just can’t because there are infected running around near the hatch that don’t allow you to break the hatch, you can’t kill them all, new ones appear. Rave. The game goes to the trash. I'm the person who went Platinum to Bloodborne andI just couldn't resist and decided to write a review.

    I tried this game right after replaying the first one and what a disappointment it was.. I thought it can't be that bad as reviewers made it out, but oh boy, it was even worse I got: A very slow and unresponsive movement with no ability to run on command(really guys, not every game that has parkour in it has to be a mirrors edge clone). The time limit on climbing. Progression system soI tried this game right after replaying the first one and what a disappointment it was..

The time limit on climbing. Progression system so bad that 25% of the abilities that you can unlock were something that you could do right out of the gate in the original game. Only worsened melee gameplay. Cut out the shooter element of the game, you only now get a useless blunderbuss that kinda works. And of course the story, yeah, there isn't one, forget about it. It is as interesting or complex as the story in your average pay to win korean mmo grinder. And they also somehow made graphics worse, more pixels and hardware needed but overall picture being mostly on parr. Expand

    I played Dying light 1 and loved it! Therefore, I pre-ordered the Definite Edition of Dying light 2 because I wanted to support Techland. I was surprised how unfinished the game was on release. The foundation they started was horrible and unplayable. I waited and gave the team a chance to work on it. Years have passed and it's bland. It's still a buggy mess( I had to restart the whole gameI played Dying light 1 and loved it! Therefore, I pre-ordered the Definite Edition of Dying light 2 because I wanted to support Techland.

It's still a buggy mess( I had to restart the whole game 3 times since I bought it, it messed up my multiple saves), and now they nerfed all the content because they are introducing microtransactions. The first one had them, but it didn't affect gameplay. Now, if you want a powerful/decent weapon or skill you have to pay for it. I can't recommend this game. All my weapons, outfits, etc. that came with the definitive edition have been changed for the worse. Story is boring, quest are boring, gameplay is mediocre. The first one is much better. Do yourself a favor and save your money or buy another game. Expand

    Had a rough start yes, but was definitely headed in the right direction with the updates it was releasing before Techland partnered with Greedy tencent, microtransactions are the reason this game will die quicker then Dying Light 1, and the fact instead of delivering an expansion like the following for dying light 2 they resorted to adding a stupid in game currency that at minimum cost $5Had a rough start yes, but was definitely headed in the right direction with the updates it was releasing before Techland partnered with Greedy tencent, microtransactions are the reason this game will die quicker then Dying Light 1, and the fact instead of delivering an expansion like the following for dying light 2 they resorted to adding a stupid in game currency that at minimum cost $5 which is ridiculous since we are literally in a recession, **** worse then the Great Depression with cost of living and everything else so I hope no one buys any of these microtransactions, it’s a greedy move and I hope this bites Techland in the ass for selling out to commies and I hope tencent learns they’re not welcome in the gaming community with their predator business tactics.

    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.
