    The biggest problem with this game is that it takes more steps back then forward from the 1st. Night time is lame now. No volatiles at night.

Visuals are amazing. The parkour and combat are a huge improvement. Good crafting and the weapons and fun to use. Gameplay here is king just a shame they handicapped the game with questionable decisions.… Expand

    A mediocre game. The plot is generally okay, but some moments are very naive or crass. The open world is unfortunately monotonous. A lot of bugs. The parkour system is quite interesting. It can hardly be called better than the first part.

    Combat and exploration is still fun, but a stepback from Dying Light 1. Less weapons and freedom in this game makes it feel like a barebones Dying Light 1.5.

    Too long and boring … Since the start of the quest and till the end you can spend about 20-30 min. And when you finish, you can forget the purpose of it. Jus like The developers couldn't figure out how to extend the gameplay. But at the same time ,the story is not so bad.

    Leider nur eine 5:

    Die Grafik und die Welt sind ganz schön gemacht.
    Parkour macht Spaß
    Das Kampf und RPG system ist leider nicht besonders gelungen.
    Das größte Problem sind wohl die vielen Bugs vor allem im Multiplayer.
    Man hat lieber an Event Updates gearbeitet als an Bug fixes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the game, I liked the story, I'm sorry that the story isn't much more detailed! I didn't have any problems or interference while playing on the PC version! So the only thing I can say is to praise Techland, I expect a continuation and better progress in for this genre of game! The graphics are all right, the physics for parkour are good.. I'm not a bad player otherwise, but I don't know if what I was playing was normal, but there were situations that were really exaggerated on the missions in the underground when you go for inhibitors and there will be 2-3 volatiles guarding all the zombies. because somehow it is not balanced with the difficulty of the game, it should be a little more relaxing in my opinion, but maybe I'm wrong, although I don't think I'm the only one who had problems in those situations, in addition to the fact that when I play, I play exclusively with great care so as not to die and to be as extreme as possible !Easy mode would throw j but in my opinion, there should be just a little work on "normal" to make it more ideal and I think it would be perfect to enjoy while passing the game!
    I think I can do a lot better in terms of graphics, parkour, movement physics, combat mode and zombie massacre! But all in all, I think Dying Light 2 is a very good game and I would freely recommend it! this genre game until it reaches its peak!    … Expand

However I feel like something went a bit wrong here. Let's talk about the positives first though. First of all, the controls have gotten much better than in the first game. Your jumps feel much less floaty and more precise. Once you get into that flow you really can do some awesome stuff with the help of the city being very vertical. And also the combat have met a nice improvement as well. The guns are no longer present, and now if you want a long-range weapon, you should go for a bow. And for the final upside, the music is really good but you can't really f that up. But this is where the positives end and for the first downside I have to talk about the mess that is the story of Dying Light 2. The premise is simple, find your sister. However the game is so hard to keep up with it's frustrating. It hops from thread to the 2nd one not ending the 1st one. And then a 3rd one. It's really bad. So a 70% for Dying Light 2 is fair in my opinion… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is Bugged but playable. Most of the quest-lines are bugged and need a workaround to function again. The storyline itself is just okey. Some of the characters like Lawan getting very annoying. You are forced to work with them tho i dont like them. This is something that destroys the user’s experience and makes me stop an pause the game for weeks because it just sucks. The storyline has very often Plots where characters dying that don't have to die tho it not even makes sense that they are dying. Overall the game is ok but i wouldnt play it again. It feels also like a waste of time.… Expand

    A good sequel with a myriad of new weapons and exciting parkour. However, the groan-inducing open-world questing can get in the way of the good times. There's nothing surprising here, but if you want a good undead-slaying open-world opus, Dying Light 2: Stay Human fits the bill.

    It was broken then, it's broken now. I really can't figure out why these games just refuse to behave. It's okay i guess, not much has changed since the last one in terms of gameplay, more foliage on the map, other than that it's the same basic game. Really wanted to like it, but if i can't play it without it repeatedly corrupting files, requiring new files to be reinstalled, i just won't.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я считаю что ставлю даже немного завышенную оценку этой игре. Не знаю чем вдохновлялись разработчики, но написать настолько бездарный сюжет, в котором присутствует лишь иллюзия выбора, нужно было умудриться, скорее всего сюжет был скорее для галочки, чтобы игру покупали. Во-первых почему-то тебе не дают выбора в вилледоре, ты обязан встать на чью-то сторону, чего я вообще не хотел делать, либо взрывай базу миротворцев, либо обрекай жителей базара на смерть. Качество персонажей нельзя назвать плохим, но лично у меня никакого сопереживания они не вызывали. Мне только начала нравится Вероника,но ее убивают спустя 20 минут, спасибо. В общем геймплей на 7, сюжет на 5. Сама игра тянет на 5-6 баллов, я поставлю 6, тк была бы она хуже, я бы её дропнул, про баги я само собой молчу .… Expand

At the end of the day, the game is good and buy it if you wanna play a good zombie game.

    Okay, this game is absolutely NOT as bad as the people claim here. Is it as good or better than Dying Light 1? The answer is NO! It is NOT as good, let alone better, but it doesn't mean this is a bad game.

    The parkour, fights are evolved, maybe even too much, but they are great and in their place. The story is mediocre at best, nothing interesting whatsoever. The level choice is    Okay, this game is absolutely NOT as bad as the people claim here. Is it as good or better than Dying Light 1? The answer is NO! It is NOT as good, let alone better, but it doesn't mean this is a bad game.

    The parkour, fights are evolved, maybe even too much, but they are great and in their place.

    The story is mediocre at best, nothing interesting whatsoever.

    The level choice is really bad, every part of the city looks exactly the same. "Realism" shouldn't be placed before game experience.

    Game mechanism is weak, nothing evolved besides fights and parkour, and even part of the zombie / fight physics are downgraded for reasons beyond comprehension. There are rumours circulating about key staff leaving due to whatever reasons, and I'm absolutely sure that this was the main problem of why it failed to achieve the glory of DL1, let alone to evolve beyond it.

    You'd expect vehicles, base building, travelling in a huge map to different cities, towns, resource management, missions with companions you select, etc., and at least as much genius storytelling as in DL1 (side mission included), but no, nothing sort of that, a huge part of the game is pretty much sank into mediocrity, despite the fact that there is already a brutally good game set as an example you just have to follow (DL1)...

    To think about the money those developers got who don't even like the game at all... Such a waste.

    HOWEVER, this doesn't mean that this is a particularly bad game and that you won't enjoy it. You will. This game still good and still rocks, and the best news is that there is a modding community which pretty much fixed every gameplay / game mechanics flaws, for free (think about the game developers again). Years of years of development, tons of wasted money, only to see your utter idiocy (bad physics, weak, few zeds, etc.) getting fixed in a couple of weeks by modders for free...

    There are 2 things I can't forgive to this game: it is NOT scary anymore. Do you remember yourself screaming during night missions in DL1? Well, here you won't...

    The second part is the music. I was so excited to get something like in DL1 (which I listening even to this day), that I was almost more excited for the music than for the game, but what we got is next to nothing. Most of the less popular youtubers could have done a better job for free... Man, these guys...

    I don't know what is with all these game developers (and also movie makers) nowadays but they clearly NOT worthy of their money, they just ripping off the company they working for.

    Bud just buy the game, install the mods, and you will gonna have a decent experience. Epic zed battles await you which will never get old.

    Oh, and those complaining about graphics and performance, you guys should really stop using cracked games, quit watching porn, and run an anti-malware software. You ALL gonna be surprised.    … Expand

    The first game was one of my favorites. The first game started with a feeling of being totally outnumbered. My only point of improvement in Dying Light 2 was the parkour. I found everything else to be uninspiring and a little dull. Although I completed the game to the end, I don't see myself returning to it, unlike Dying Light 1.

    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.
