    I’m changing my original review because this game has grown on me and deserves much more credit. I loved the first game, which time has proven to be a classic hit. The original game released to mixed reviews and landed in the 70s on metacritic. Dying Light 2 continues to surprise me at almost every turn. There is much more beneath the surface than what it seems. Yes, there are some bugs,I’m changing my original review because this game has grown on me and deserves much more credit.

Dying Light 2 continues to surprise me at almost every turn. There is much more beneath the surface than what it seems. Yes, there are some bugs, which will be fixed. Yes, the game should perform a little better and at a higher resolution, but that could be improved as well. The game has great parkour mechanics and combat action. When you run and jump, a high pass filter is applied to the music. The 3D audio is pretty damn good, and the art style is definitely unique. I’m enjoying the game and looking forward to improvements in upcoming patches. Expand

    Giving it a 10 because everyone is review bombing because no Italian. Would really be an 8.5 because of the story is a lacklustre at times. Graphics are really good on ps5 don’t know why everyone is **** about the graphics I mean have you looked at halo? Now that’s some **** graphics

    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.

I play with subtitles even in Skyrim, which IS dubbed in Italian, and I don't know any Italian who doesn't, so why all of this? I'm also seeing that Italian dubbing sucked a lot in DL1! But I am also infuriated by the responses of the fans, who start insulting Italians with stereotypes and racist insults of various kinds, this situation has gotten out of hand, and continuing to fight like f*cking children does not solve anything, I hope that Metacritic removes all these reviews and that Techland also takes action for this senseless flame.

    Dying light 2 builds on what the first game did well. The combat is fun. The parkour is fluid and the world is diverse. The story is pretty predictable as it was in the 1st game but it makes up for it with gameplay. There are some frame issues in the city and the quality of the current generation games isnt what i had hoped for but im holding outbthat these will be addressed in future patches.

    The Open World is more detailed, with a more profound difference between the Day and Night and a wide variety of Looting, Questing and Combat Opportunities.

    But Techland didn't just stop there. Along with every aspect of Dying Light 1 being improved upon, Techland have also added a plethora of new Mechanics to Dying Light 2, including new Enemy Types,
    a new Faction System, a new Infection System and a choice-based Story that is actually interesting.

    Overall, and I wouldn't usually do this, I have to award Dying Light 2 a perfect 10/10 Score. As the Sequel to one of my all time favourite Video Games, Dying Light 2 improves upon the original in every single way and as a result absolutely deserves my recommendation to anyone who loved the Original.

    Graphics: 6/10
    Dying Light 2 has some decent overall graphics. Scenery is detailed and pretty, NPCs are realistic enough for a cross-gen game, and combat effects are decent. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of graphics bugs like shaking items, pop-ins, and clip-throughs on release 1.005
    Gameplay: 9/10
    Great, smooth parkour style combat and world traversal. Getting around the city is addictive to the point of distracting and I found myself spending a lot of time just running, jumping, and flying around. Combat can be a tad repetitive if you are not using your different abilities, but just mix it up a bit. Story was interesting and engaging with good voice acting.
    Play factor: 8/10
    Easy to just spend hours exploring or side-questing. The main story is long and interesting, but the side stuff can keep you busy for hundreds of hours. Traversing the city is really fun, and I spent hours just running around.
    Sound: 9/10
    The soundtrack was really well done. The music fit and enhanced the mood perfectly. The voice acting was pretty good, with Rosario Dawson stealing the show. Sound effects were well implemented, and I encountered very few or no sound bugs that I realized.
    Replayability: 6/10
    Dying Light 2 would seriously benefit from a “New Game +” mode. It has really addictive gameplay, but Techland needs to give players a reason to come back for more if they want it to be more than a “one-and-done” game. Beyond mopping up trophies and side-quests in post-game, not much to bring players back.

    Note: You DO NOT need to play the first game.

    Tl;dr Reviewer recommended! Try this game regardless of if you have played the first one!

    Everything feels good, the story is good, but the ending of the story is a little lackluster but it will definitely be leading up to something great with the DLC.

    Pozatym gra jest świetna a w coopie z ekipa nabiera jeszcze wiekszego klimatu i frajdy z rozgrywki.

    Seriously impressed! I know the game skipped some languages and people are pissed about it but that will be fixed. Other than that this game is smooth, runs great on pc, and after 40 hour’s I’m still playing it. Techland really put the gamers first, unlike most studio’s these day’s. Can’t wait for som dlc’s. (Only complaint is it favors nvidia and I use AMD)

    Dear Italians

    The Devs are Polish (that's why a Polski language). They also said that due to difficulties hiring Italian VAs the language patch WILL come at a later date. Please don't be racist or unkind to other peoples and their language just because yours is a little late to the party.

    Open world games have gotten incredibly stale over the past decade--everyone knows it. Run here, fetch this, kill these, climb this, talk to them, etc. etc. The names and faces change, but 99% of open world games are fundamentally the same (with some marked exceptions, i.e. BoTW, Nier: Automata, RDR2, etc.).

Run here, fetch this, kill these, climb this, talk to them, etc. etc. The names and faces change, but 99% of open world games are fundamentally the same (with some marked exceptions, i.e. BoTW, Nier: Automata, RDR2, etc.).

    Gameplay: Hands down the most **fun** I've had in an open world game since... ever? The traversal/movement system in this game is far and away the new gold standard. Not even games lauded for their traversal, like Spiderman, match the exhilaration that you feel when simply moving from point A to point B in this game. Melee feels incredibly dynamic and kinetic **for a first-person game**. I will say however that in future iterations I would love to see the developers expand the player's stealth toolkit. Considering the obscene degree of mobility and verticality present in this game, I found myself desperately wishing that I could have had more ways to engage human enemies strategically--think tripwires, environmental traps, smoke bombs, etc.

    Writing: I feel like I must be losing my mind, because I keep seeing people talk smack about the writing quality... But the writing is really good? Like, it's no Infinite Jest, sure, but you know that issue in open world games where side quests generally suck? Yeah, that's not a thing here. Nearly every single side quest I've played so far--even short "throwaway" quests--has felt meaningful. Also, be sure to listen to NPCs side conversations when you're walking/running around. It's amazing how much care and attention went into them.

    And oh my god the soundtrack. Absolutely beautiful.

    And the world? C'monnnnn. Have you ever jumped across rooftops in a post-apocalyptic medieval eco-punk city before? Well, now you can!

Ps: I’m genuinely confused on how some people on Ps5 are getting game breaking glitches I have rarely encountered any glitches other then glitched zombies . At this point I really do think people are trying to Sabotage this game. People overreact the only thing I agree on is the dullness of the story but there is so much in the game that makes up for it.

    So much entitlementment. Glad the Kiryu lead Yakuza games developed such a positive reputation before metacritic, or it may have gotten review bombs for only being Japanese VA.

    There are some toppings that should be cooked first before topping a pizza because they won’t cook fully in the oven during the pizza's cooking time. Any raw meat should be fully cooked before adding it as a topping. Also, any vegetables that you don’t want to be raw on the cooked pizza such as onions, peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms should be sautéed first. ++++For non italian dubbing

    Techland delivered. Better parkour, better melee combat, the evolution of the grappling hook is extremely appreciated, the paraglider addition is game-changing in the best way. The verticality of the map, the size of the map, the dense foliage and vibrant colors of the rooftops compared to the desolate, dark sidewalks and roads on-ground.

    Did the marketing team oversell? I think so. I

    Did the marketing team oversell? I think so. I think people were expecting a Bethesda RPG in terms of consequences and actions...I can tell you it's not. BUT, it's not far off. You will make decisions that DRASTICALLY impact your playthrough. What's even better is that every side quest is substantial and carries weight. Some even impact your main story!

    This is the sequel to DL1 I wanted in every way.

    Grapics could be better, quality mode should been with 60fps then the game could been 9/10 but it is a bit repetive with all the climbing. Overall very happy to finishing it.

    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.
