    Unlike most people, I really enjoyed this game before all the 2022 changes that I've not tried again. I liked that it wasn't as horror-driven and was more focused on people, cities and rebuilding civilization.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    I did not play this game on release, as I only bought it in December of 2022. I can't speak for issues that were around at the beginning of the game (e.g. bugs, missing Dying Light 1 features). When I played, a lot of that was fixed. Every month it seems that Techland is fixing things and adding features the community is asking for.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dying light 2. Es un buen juego, pero no tanto, como jugador que se sacó el platino del juego tengo todo derecho a hablar.

    Dying light 2 stay human, es un juego de mundo abierto con parkour y zombies, nada nuevo, la historia quitando todo tipo de misiones secundarias es un 8.3, ningún personaje memorable, la jugabilidad es un 9, el parkour está mal diseñado, ya que al ser una Ciudad grande las cornisas se pegan y no dejan hacer parkour.

    Teniendo 7 años de desarrollo me sorprende que tenga texturas plomo y que el aparato visual no es tan bueno si no lo juegas en PC le daría un 7.8, las pantallas de carga pueden durar mucho tiempo, tiene mucho menos detalle que el Dying light 1, el agua está mal diseñada ya que por cualquier mal movimiento te undes.

    Si piensas platinar el juego usa una guía de coleccionables desde el inicio ya que algunos los puedes perder.

    Al juego le doy un 8.1 casi el 8.2.    … Expand

    I played Dying Light 2 at launch and was totally bored. So I put it on the back-burner and decided, knowing Techland, this would be a different game if I came back to it at a later date. Noticed a few days ago a video detailing the Gut Feeling update launched and decided to give it another go.

Noticed a few days ago a video detailing the Gut Feeling update launched and decided to give it another go.

    Have to say I am enjoying it a lot more this time around. The game is different to when it launched. They have added things like gear transmog, weapon blueprints, weapon crafting and lots more gore and brutality. They have also added some community events and stuff. On a slow playthrough - trying to cover everything. Kind of switching between one part of the storyline and clearing one area at a time doing all the side quests.

    Some games do come good in the end, not many. But this is a different game to the game I played originally. And for whatever reason, probably the gore updates, finding it a blast to play at the moment. The story is still a bit lacking and side quests are very the same. But nice to see Techland never gave up on the game and I salute them for that.    … Expand

Fighting isn't main element, because in most of situations you can runaway, but still has good feeling. The night's pursuits as good as dying light 1. Of course DL 2 is not a perfect game, that all upgrade/crafting system is useless for me, because if you are doing side quests that items from vendors/workshops are better than all what you can forge, maybe apart from Medi kits. Additional 10 points for morality/decisions system, but I miss real morality system from other games, where you can be real badass. If you want zombie games with satisfying gameplay DL2 is good choice for you… Expand

    Fantastic Game - but needs time to unfold!

    I loved the first game and played everything including all DLCs. The 2nd game isn't actually the same as before and it took me a while to adjust to the new engine and the way it felt while running and climbing around. But after one or two hours, I got into the flow and man, now, after one year of releasing the game, it's almost perfect in my    Fantastic Game - but needs time to unfold!

But after one or two hours, I got into the flow and man, now, after one year of releasing the game, it's almost perfect in my opinion!

    There's so much to do, side missions, collectibles and a long story I actually was interested in. Even after 15 hours in the game, there is still new stuff showing up to use, new elements and even two kinda "side stories" where you go and hunt stuff and get nice gear in exchange. The map itself could be larger, but I never had the feeling being limited by its size, on the other side EVERY district looks different and especially when you've reached the center of the city and climb those giant sky scrapers, THIS is absolutely great!

    I don't know why some people dislike or even hate this game. It's like DL1 but much better, IF you just take the time to get used to the 'new' way of gameplay. And Techland really takes care of their games and like the first part, DL2 runs perfectly, no crashes at all or hickups, it never gets boring, always something to do, encounters, day/night cycle and so on.

    If there are complaints, it would be the sky, somehow, feels complete static, there are clouds, but not moving at all, which somehow kills the atmosphere when you pay attention (think of GTA or Red Dead Redemption 2 and the fantastic weather/sky). It does change though, but it doesn't feel natural at all WHEN you pay attention, because most of the time you're busy doing all kind of things and not watching the sky... ;)

    So, if you liked the first game OR you are in 1st person climbing games like Mirrors Edge, love to hack on Zombies, this is definitely for you. Just give it time to unfold and get used to the gameplay!    … Expand

The game does a great job of making players question who to trust and whether their choices will have a real impact on the game's story.

    The game's graphics are also top-notch, with detailed characters and environments that are a pleasure to explore. The game's combat system is also well-designed, offering players a variety of different ways to approach battles.

    However, the game also has some significant drawbacks compared to the first Dying Light. Several mechanics that were present in the first game have been cut, which can be frustrating and make players feel like they're missing out on something. Additionally, the game's AI can be inconsistent, and sometimes NPCs will behave in unexpected ways.

    In conclusion, Dying Light 2 is a great game with a lot to offer. The plot is excellent, the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is engaging. However, it does have some shortcomings and it would be great if the developers can fix them in the next installment. Overall, it is a must-play for fans of the open-world action-adventure genre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dying Light 2 had a lot to learn from it’s precessor Dying Light espically with that handsome man Kyle Crane (mmm…), but Techland has smashed it out of the park again. After playing the game for over 350 hours, I can say that Dying Light 2 deserved GOTY and was robbed by Elden Ring. My identical twin Jonah Scott smashed his role as my second boyfriend and new gigachad spirit animal Aiden Chadwell who run, jumps and fights throughout Villedor saving lives and smashing Volatiles with the dropkick, which instantly obliterates opponents with the pure foot of steel and vapourises people so bad, thier partners couldn’t recognise them.
    The story is a masterpiece, written by the greatest minds the dancing Polish cow could offer with themes like love, betrayal and my deepest darkest fanfiction inspirements. The ending where I face off with Waltz, Aiden’s kind of but not really father is when I started crying and begging for not Dying Light 3 but Dying Light 7. I need it now, and the ending where Hakon runs off with his 5th Husband who is Aiden Chadwell made me extremely jealous that I was not there with them running into the sunset or running to Villedor Castle (god, i want that castle so bad).

    To conclude, Dying Light 3: Hunt down the Hakon is a must buy. Everyone should play it, not matter which species you are. It’s fun for the whole family and family pet. This is probably better than IGN’s review anyway. Are we out of budget yet?    … Expand

    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.    There was really nothing wrong with DL2. Could it have benefited from Avellone's writing chops? Yes.

    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.    … Expand

    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.
