    The game looks fine, generally runs well with just a few minor frame rate drops and pop-ins, and the parkour is great fun and really rewarding when done right. But after the initial fun of running and jumping over the rooftops, or gliding around the city, the game loses its shine.

But after the initial fun of running and jumping over the rooftops, or gliding around the city, the game loses its shine.
    The story is not particularly engaging, but it is OK, serves its purpose I guess, and if I had stuck with just the story, I may have enjoyed the game better, but I do love me a good side quest.
    Unfortunately, I have yet to find a good side quest here, and don't get me started on the parkour challenges. "I need you to deliver some honey in less that 1 minute 30 seconds because..." is not great writing.
    Sure, put challenges in, but cut the nonsense diatribe that you have to listen to these dull ass NPC's spout.
    So, I ignored most of the parkour and combat challenges and stuck to normal side quests, but even they are so damned dull.
    For example "Book Club". 10 missions I think it was of going to X, find some books, return to the PK library. 10 times! The exact same mission, 10 damned times. It was so boring, but when you've done the first 3, you feel you should see them out.
    Other great missions include: Find a scarf that blew away. Deliver some letters (also 10 times). Talk to a girl about plants.
    Jeez they are not good.

    The game is also buggy as hell.
    Para-glider fails to open, so you mash the square button until it finally deploys. Missions that have been completed staying on the map. "Double Time" I have completed 3 times, but it fails to register as complete. I've been stuck on scenery, died by being hit through walls by an NPC I couldn't see, had small boss style encounters where my weapon would magically go through them and cause no damage, other bosses that commit suicide before I could even lay a hand on them. (One Renagade camp leader first set fire to himself by walking into a brazier and then fell off a roof).
    I unlock metro stations to fast travel and when I travel there I get a message saying I'm in a dark zone, which I'm clearly not because I've unlocked the station.
    I then did a 2 player session and when I returned to my game, some of the things I had unlocked for one faction seemed to now belong to another faction, as that was what was in my friends game.
    You get given missions, but then do a story mission, and all the side quest missions you had just disappear because the story moves on too far for them to be completed.

    I also think I was expecting this to be a zombie survival game (I didn't play DL1) so I was also a bit surprised that I ended up just ignoring all of the zombies and running around the city. They are basically no threat at all unless you meet a boss fight zombie.
    Humans are the real threat, but by the time I reached the level 5 zones, I was so overpowered, they were nothing more than inconveniences. The combat is quite fun though, its pretty basic, but the joy of cutting some poor soul in half or beheading them with a well timed strike is entertaining.
    So, to sum up, Parkour is fun, it looks quite pretty at times (but its no Horizon FW for sure) and the combat with human Renegades can be entertaining for a bit. But man, it is bloated with absolutely terrible side quests.
    They put a tweet out saying it would take 500 hours to see everything in the game, collect every item, do every challenge. After 40 hours, I was forcing myself to go back in just to finish the story. There is no way I could face this for 100 hours, let alone 500.
    I would recommend looking for this in a deep sale, like €20, and then just stick to the main story, that way it will likely be a lot more fun that    … Expand

    What a buggy disjointed mess. The core gameplay Dying Light you know any love. That part is pretty good, if messy, but there's so much wasted potential here.

    This game feels like the spiritual successor to the early Assassin's Creed games, back when they were about climbing and traversing cities by rooftop. There is a LOT of that in this game. When it's good, it flows together beautifully. When it's bad, it's an exercise in frustration. I found too many bad experiences with parkour.

    Story is pretty bad. The way it's told is overly mawkish, and characters act like imbeciles for dramatic effect, and the last mission and ending and boss fight are garbage, straight out of some hacky PS2 game written by Michael Bay. Certain design decisions like the hidden inventory space cap make me scratch my head. Combat is kind of annoying. Certain game mechanics and quest goals are poorly explained. I often didn't know what I was supposed to be doing, and would waste 20 minutes wandering around trying to figure out what the next objective in the mission is. The way they order collectibles is also terrible. Every time you pick up an artifact or tape, you have to sort through possibly 100 items to examine your collectible. Difficulty settings are terrible. Harder difficulties restrict resources, which just makes the game more tedious.

    Did I mention the game is buggy? Lockpicks don't work correctly. Quest npcs don't show up. Important mechanics as simple as grabbing onto beams is a kludgy chore that seems to be based on luck. There are some obnoxious parkour challenges that require you to start from a savepoint some distance away if you fail a jump. You could say that Dark Souls does the same thing, but as a huge Fromsoft fan, it's not the same. A lot of times you don't know what you're supposed to do during Parkour sequences and if you guess wrong, you could be set back 5-10 minutes before you can guess again. It feels like you have to randomly stumble upon the correct sequence of actions to complete certain parkour segments.

    Despite the many many flaws and annoyances and bugs, I somehow still managed to have a good deal of fun, which is why I'm giving it an average score. Running through an abandoned city killing zombies is great. There's a mission that involves climbing a skyscraper crawling with infected that reminded me of a similar sequence in The Last of Us 2, except going up instead of down. That segment was the peak of the game for me. If only the rest of it had been so good.    … Expand

    Has many issues but still fun to play and worth the price for me. Tried to analyze from different aspects but turned out to be a long boring complaint. If you are afraid of the negative reviews, feel free to wait longer, Dying Light is known for it's long-term updates, so hopefully this one will be better during the years.

    Complaint list: 1) Performance. The game can maintain 60fps    Has many issues but still fun to play and worth the price for me. Tried to analyze from different aspects but turned out to be a long boring complaint. If you are afraid of the negative reviews, feel free to wait longer, Dying Light is known for it's long-term updates, so hopefully this one will be better during the years.

    Complaint list:
    1) Performance. The game can maintain 60fps under performance mode most of the time, there are some frame drops, but not frequency, but only AT THE FIRST SECTION. When you are navigating in the second one, you will encounter frame drops every few minutes. Personally, the performance is at the point that barely standable but not enjoyable. Note that we are talking about running on a next gen console and the graphic looks blurred and can be ugly sometimes.

    2) Gameplay. There are many improvements to the first game, parkour + combat works so good that just running around aimlessly can be a lot of fun. My complaints are for the human enemies, it's okay to make enemies good at defence, but in a fast-paced encounter, it's nothing but frustrating when you are surrounded by 5 guys and you can't hit anyone because they are all blocking and side stepping, while there are another 2 guys shooting arrows at you and climbing around when you try to get close.

    3) Multiplayer. Not much to say, it's basically the same as the first game. All the players have to gathered every time you need to talk to an quest NPC, nothing wrong with the system, but there are too many "talk to someone next me" moments in the main quest, so I'm sure the main quest is not optimized for multiplayer.

    4) Story. Not as bad as people say, yet has many to complain. The story in general is not bad, definitely not something great, but still quite an entertainment if you just watch to see what happens and not think too much. The biggest problem is that it's too obviously trying to make you feel "pain". It's a good idea to build emotional connection between the player and the characters, but when you know EVERY DAMN TIME a character revealed to you and obviously the game want you to care, the character will die immediately afterwards, without exception. You just won't care. Then the choices, they don't have any positive feedbacks, like I mentioned before, they just too obviously trying to "hurt" you. It's not "choose what you like to be", more like "choose to be an a**hole or try to be something else but turn out to be an a**hole anyway". That's not how to make a meaningful and satisfying story. Honestly I find the side quests are way more interesting than the main story.    … Expand

    so what to say about dying light 2 well lets start with the positives, the parkour system is still bloody amazing sure you suck to begin with but as you slowly build up your stamina and gain new moves you become a beast of movement and trust me its alot of fun espically when you get the glider and hook, second positive the story is alot better then the first one thats for sure however iso what to say about dying light 2 well lets start with the positives, the parkour system is still bloody amazing sure you suck to begin with but as you slowly build up your stamina and gain new moves you become a beast of movement and trust me its alot of fun espically when you get the glider and hook, second positive the story is alot better then the first one thats for sure however i will admit techland still needs to work on it, still a positive since its an improvemnet but room for growth, 3rd positive the game is pretty stable atleast for me with maybe a couple odd bugs but nothing game breaking, 4th the new gadgets are a hell of alot of fun especilly the paraglider and the new grapple in my opinion is alot better cause its not op. 5th the new biomarker thing is actully intresting and listing this as a positive cause honeslty it did make **** tense and barely annoyed me save for a couple times (which were my fault), 6th the world actually feels alive you see other people you can listen to stories (which need subtitles seriously) when you get a proper safehouse they build around it and create well little bases.

    now will do positive/negative before getting to the actual negative, so for starters the the new night system is both awesome yet sucky, its awesome cause they actual have more stuff to do during the night other then grinding and you no longer have to worry about making one mistake and getting swarmed but 20 volotiles, however said awesome has some issues namely the chase system ive played for a few days and only saw volotiles twice because even on the hardest diffulculty its to easy to escape and easy to not get chase level 4 maybe if it was alot faster or maybe only 3 levels (both times were story missions), ok now second iffyness the choice system well its not terrible and does have the odd intresting choice sadly nowhere near as good as they made it sound, what else well human combat is majorly improved though their still annoying as hell and the combat controls take a bit to get used to and sadly no more constant drop kicks, what else o new zombies are neat however im kinda disapointed by some of them namely the banshee and anomaly the banshe is just annoying and the anomaly is the same zombie over and over and is so easy to cheese (get up close hell barely hit you), o and exploders are still positive and negative mainly due to them being an giant pain in the ass but they do make you laugh when you spin around see them go oh **** and go flying, and finally for the good/bad the quests some are brilliant others are repetive so not much has changed from the first game honestly you can have fun but their are some that are just boring.

    now onto negatives which thankfully arent many but they are big, the new rpg system honestly kinda sucks honestly ive barely bothered to care i just use whatever has the higher stats (so usally gold items), the new weopan upgrade system also sucks since you can no longer build weopans nor repair them which was an awesome thing with the first game (more you repair the more patches you see on the weapon) however with this system its use till it breaks then toss which sucks and yes that happened in the first game but the first game said weapons did last now once you get somthing better just sell the old stuff and youll get better gear way to easy, o and no more picking up enemy weapons save for spears so yeah thats a big negative cause cmon we are supposed to be surviving but you cant pick up enemy weapons anymore realy.

    honestly those are the big things and i mainly did this to voice my opinion, personally the game is a fair bit better then the previous game and i do highly recomend it, and at the moment could be considered the best game in the last few months (probaly due not being a glitchy mess and has actual content, yes im making a dig at cyberpunk and battlfield 2042), so yeah good and bad, sucks to see it getting so much hate for lets see no guns (stupid take and editing this if your made about no guns USE THE PK CROSSBOW its basicly a gun), bad laungage settings (this is a bit fair but still a bit much to rate it a zero), a weird hud (you can tweak it just saying) and little nitpicks.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the main quests.
    Here’s a wrap up of my thoughts.

    Good things
    - Plenty of of side quests and activities - Customization is good - Nightrunner tools are awesome. Once all is unlocked, the games is really fun
    - Parkour is a blast
    - Story is interesting. The different endings makes it interesting.

    Let downs
    - Graphics look old gen (I’m on PS5). Because if this, the gameplay feels old too.
    - A lot bugs (the final boss got stuck in a wall…). I had to restart the game a few times on PS5 because of the lag.
    - Trophies being required for upgrades is a real pain

    Overall, it’s an ok game. I really enjoyed the multiple things you can do. That said, was it worth the wait and hype?
    I can understand people being disappointed. If you want an Zombie style Skyrim, it’s a game for you. If not, wait for something else to come along.    … Expand

A more in depth rpg system could have benefitted this game immensely... it seems like choices changed "some" of story outcomes however I think most players got the impression that these choices would affect their character and the world around them a little bit more than faction based safe zones and a few traps/utilities here and there.

The side quests didn’t pull me in and the day/night cycle wasn’t as intriguing as the first game. Also seemed like killing zombies is an after thought, with very little incentive to do so. Overall recommend playing it, just not all I’d hoped it would be.

A conexao nao teve problemas, porem, diversos bugs de audio, legendas e o final ficou extremamente confuso. Como tem tantas escolhas pra fazer, acredito que elas bugaram e ficou ambiguo e mal entendi o que escolhi! O jogo é bom, mas faltou polir! É de praxe de algumas empresas fazer o inicio LINDO, mas logo depois fica tudo cagado!… Expand

    This game is a lot of fun to play but there is a lot of things with this game that didn't do it for me. I found more cons with this game than pros. This game would probably be worth a play if you can get it on sale.

    Positives:
    - Game play is solid, fighting/parkour is fun and feels good
    - Interesting NPC interactions during the open world and quests
    - A good variety of weapons and tools to let you play how you want
    - The game looks good and the ambience is very immersive

    Negatives:

    - Game has a lot of bugs both visually and gameplay wise. Found a lot of model swapped characters and keybinding didn't work even after being rebound.
    - Hardest difficulty was not challenging. Playing on hard makes it so you can't sell equipment (which you get a lot of)
    - AI is awful and posed a little threat during my entire play through. Being chased at night is not fun since there are so many safe zones in close proximity.
    - The story was a little too over the top along with the NPC's you met along the way. It took away from the seriousness of the whole situation    … Expand

    The repeatability of the mission route is a bit high, but the others are fine.

    I could have give 7, until i met lawan.

    Really dissapointed with this one
    I have been waiting for so many years for a product showcased in E3 2019 which got me hyped
    This feels like a completely diffrent game from the gore stuff,the atmosphere and even the zombie design
    Really mediocre

    Sorry to say that this game is not even close to be as good as its predecessor: too many mechanics which make the game just more caothic instead of deeper or more interesting. Controls are convolluted and missions are predictable, repetitive and boring.

    To me this game is a 7. In my opinion it is a step down from the first game. This game isn’t as creepy or scary as the first.

At the end of the day, the game is good and buy it if you wanna play a good zombie game. The story is okay, while playing I was able just guess what was gonna happen so it did become pretty predictable. The best part of this game is the combat and the open world.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
