Graphics are also welcome and it feels good and nostalgic to be in Villedor, but when darkness arises, hell breaks loose… The Soundtracks are prefect in combination with Running, Fighting, Fleeing or just for sticking around. And with this big sandbox, the game offers you so much freedom of choice. It is your playstyle that matters and when you are at the end, you will feel the consequences of your choices and that is the best thing the game offers. Expand

Parkour has substantially Improved with more moves to chain together to put together a montage of crazy stunts. Story is eh but I definitely did laugh throughout of alot of it the characters aren't as compelling as the first game. But they get the job done. There is definitely alot to do in the game despite some **** being recycled. Gear system is pretty good I kinda prefer this weapon system over the first game. I feel like when more content comes out for this game it's gonna be a underrated gem. As for the zombies they don't have alot of variety but the first game kinda didn't also. So I can genuinely deal with it. Violatiles are still present but in night zones and with the chase meter. Imo the chase meter is awesome and definitely gives me that scare adrenaline as the first game but I also wish violatiles was present at night standing around with the howelers it would make it way more intimidating to touch the ground. I haven't ran into gamebreaking bugs yet I'm.on ps5 but I have ran into two bugs battle music audio and howler being frozen. Overall I highly recommend this game. But definitely wait for a couple patches for the best experience for some. For people who don't have issues like myself enjoy.

    the story is so predictable. and the gameplay is repetitive. the content is long but it's only because they stretched it out as long as possible. it's a classic quantity over quality game with shallow writing and character development.

I can't sell any weapons or armor. Well some, but not all of them. I've sold maybe 20 and have 30+ waiting for the menu to register their existence. But thats it! Everything else has been amazing. I know they'll add on a HUGE dlc like last time (specially since they already announced it) and more improvments along the way. I wish it would get a re-review by all the big reviewing publishers in about 6 months. Expand

    Я прошёл первый Dying Light включая The Following 4 раза на 100%, пройдя стаю бозака, пройдя все сайд-квесты, тюрьму, собрав все записки, чертежи, фигурки зомби и флажки. Я обожаю как там работает боевая система, как ощущается вес каждого удара, как работает крафт и ночь. Паркур, к слову, там тоже хорошо реализован, вес персонажа хорошо чувствуется.
    Концовка The Following мне вообще
    Я прошёл первый Dying Light включая The Following 4 раза на 100%, пройдя стаю бозака, пройдя все сайд-квесты, тюрьму, собрав все записки, чертежи, фигурки зомби и флажки. Я обожаю как там работает боевая система, как ощущается вес каждого удара, как работает крафт и ночь. Паркур, к слову, там тоже хорошо реализован, вес персонажа хорошо чувствуется.
    Концовка The Following мне вообще взорвала голову. Помню какие ощущения испытывал после прохождения...
    Так вот, ожидая Dying Light 2, я думал что это будет что-то вроде первого DL, однако начав играть, я понял что играю в совсем другую игру.
    Первое же, на что я обратил внимание - управление. Паркур стал куда более "чётким" и, если так можно сказать, "намагниченным". И это мне нравится!
    Боевая система сразу же расстроила, интерфейс тоже. Однако поиграв часов 20 в игру, я получаю искренний кайф от кадого боя в этой игре.
    Сразу же пошли отсылки на историю и персонажей первой части, и меня, как фаната серии, радуют эти переплетения!
    Судя по тому, как я проходил дл1, вы могли заметить, что я люблю изучать всю игру вдоль-и-поперёк, и то, что в этом мире полне всяких сторонних активностей - это супер! Почему если тебе нравится как работает игра, ты будешь страдать от большого количества гринда? Я только рад что я останусь в этой игре подольше.
    Наиграл уже 80 часов, и ни капли не жалею о том, что потратил деньги и провёл в ней это время, к слову, сюжет я так и не прошёл, я почти что в самом начале, зато уже открыл весь первый город и сделал все сайд-квесты и активности! Просто кайф!

    P.S.
    Thank you, Techland! Love your games so much! You are the best!

Side quests is a fun run on their own and opens up more of the world that you wouldn't get by just doing the story. IF you rush this, it will get boring. Im 50hours in and still on Lv3 main quest.

Come on, a vast majority of the negative reviews are just people feeling "offended" that a game doesn't have everything day one. Cut the **** please. The game took a very long time to make. A lot of people worked on this game. Most of you Italian enthusiasts haven't even picked up the game. Stop punishing Techland for doing the best they could. These people had it rough developing this game. They are known for improving their games over time. An Italian language option will probably get worked into the game in a future update or something. But like Jesus Christ guys. I hate the fact that the user score is either stagnant or decreasing. Techland is not a bad company and DL2 is not a bad game. I'm enjoying it a lot actually. Please have some sympathy. Game development is hard it takes a lot of hardwork and dedication. You wouldn't want something that you worked on and put genuine effort into to be hated and despised for being flawed. None of us would like that, put yourself in their shoes look at this with an open mind. There is a lot to love in this game and I don't think it's fair for techland or DL2 to suffer just because they had to make some cutbacks for the game to be released this year. This isn't Cyberpunk guys, they tried, they really did. Please we as human beings are supposed to be more understanding and sympathetic towards each other. No human is perfect, no game is perfect. We all have flaws and we shouldn't criticise each other for them. We're supposed to be better than this. Expand

    A very good game, I like every element, and the most unique is parkour, combat, music. Villedor looks very good and has a great atmosphere in the city especially at night. Without revealing too much of the plot at night there is an adrenaline rush and a chase element which gives a lot of satisfaction. It's just a good game, I had no bugs, time well spent.

Dying light 2 has a dame good story that keeps you hooked all the way to the end & the gameplay is much better then the first game I still can't put the controller down running jumping climbing fighting is a blast & the world design is one of the best I've seen. it's a must own game. on PS5 I haven't had a single problem no bugs nothing

    This game is breathtakingly beautiful, the sound design evokes emotion as you play the game. You can get lost in this world, in it's beauty in the interesting characters. Holy mackerel the story telling got leveled up a ton between DL1 and this game. I feel like the storys are a little "less hokey" then in the first game. The factions give an interesting dynamic.

    dying light 2 to my surprise exceeded my expectations on so many levels. in my opinion it is a massive upgrade from the first game here is why:

    1- incredible parkour 2- amazing story which actually gave me goosebumps at times 3- ambiance is a solid 10/10 4- combat got a massive upgrade on so many aspects 5- the environment and NPCs in general received some well needed upgrades

    sure the game has some bugs and minor issues but i know for a fact that Techland will deal with the issues at hand as soon as possible. this is why i gave this game a solid 10/10

    Dying light 2 staying human is an amazing expansion on what the original had to offer. Despite bugs in which i have not encountered many myself (t-poses, tiny frame drops and similar things alike) have not hampered my experience.

    Ok I will give an honest review here because people are knocking it for things that don't relate to important things like performance and gameplay like replay ability. I have put almost fifty hours in and it is extremely addicting. Quests are interesting, different and have cool rewards. No spoilers but the story is excellent with great voice acting but facial expressions aren't there toOk I will give an honest review here because people are knocking it for things that don't relate to important things like performance and gameplay like replay ability. I have put almost fifty hours in and it is extremely addicting. Quests are interesting, different and have cool rewards. No spoilers but the story is excellent with great voice acting but facial expressions aren't there to what they are saying sometimes. Also, how does It run? Well I have a copy of the PS5 version and eventually will get a PS4 copy but it runs really smooth. I don't know why this game is getting knocked for bugs. I have only experienced two bugs one that cut out dialogue in the beginning of the story in one sentence and one that makes the characters eyes grey. After the day 1 patch that was resolved. I would play the next gen experience however in performance only with locked 60fps because the other two modes are pretty rough running at 30fps. Like the first the big highlight is the open world parkour and how fun and unique it is. Im not going to base this review off the first because that isn't fair because just a for warning to those returning Dying Light players this is a completely new experience. It is very different and lots of different mechanics and atmosphere. It takes time to get at that level of being a badass like in the first one but it is very satisfying when you reach it. Also, those concerned about guns and other things that maybe absent that people enjoyed so much in the first one. Just be transparent and join the Dying Light community because this company has a good reputation for communicating with their community. This game I would rate a 10/10 just because of the pure dumb fun that can be done again like in the first one with a very interesting story. Expand

    This game is a 9 out of 10 for me, but I'm giving it a 10 because of all the review bombing its getting.
    PC community hate Denuvo
    Italians hate no native language support
    Does that mean the game deserves a 0 out of 10? Of course not....

How exactly do you not like this awesome game!!! Gamers act like posh **** who want the most perfect game. I dont know if people hate to hate or actually dont enjoy this game.... Ive been gaming for 30+ years. I havent stopped playing this game since I bought it. Thats extremely rare nowadays for me. Games are usually boring and repetitive. This game is not. Its an awesome game!! Is it Game of the Year? Its definitely a contender. Is it perfect? Definitely not!. Am I having loads of fun? Absolutely!!! The RPG elements are well thought out. Not too complex or deep. People comparing to Cyberpunk are stupid. Cyberpunk is boring af. Havent touched that garbage pile in almost a year. Plus Cyberpunk isnt even close to being a complete experience. Parkour is slow at first but once you start leveling and picking your traits its gets faster and cooler. Not having guns is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, think of it as a fantasy RPG. Besides it makes sense that there are no guns left (There is bows and a makeshift ranged weapon deeper in the game). The world is different and has changed in 15 years and not alot of people or structures survived. Combat is satisfying and works great. I loved the first game, but it got boring in parts and i had to push myself through. This game adds colors,music, atmosphere and better AI then the first one. The atmosphere in this game is so freaking cool!!! Feels very immersive. The sound design is so awesome!! When you hear little things in the distance or down below and are creeped out, its very cool! Love it!! The mix between fighting Zombies and Humans is perfect!! 10/10. Buy this game you wont regret it!!!! Expand

    I now played around 40 hours and in my opinion it surpasses the first game in every aspect. The gameplay is perfect and the world with its art direction and its differences during the day and during the might amazes me every time. Of course the story is not on the same level as TLOU2 or RDR2 for example, but its way better than in the fist game and i really enjoy it.
    And regarding bugs etc., with 40 hours in the game already, i have encountered some bugs but by far not gamebreaking ones. Especially after the day one patch.
    In conclusion, compared to the first one, what was already really good, its better in every aspect and i really really love this game!

The world, parkour, and the exploration that it brings is easily the coolest part of the game. The world building is incredible, seriously it's so cool the day/night cycles and the differences between them. Flying on the paraglider around these huge skyscrapers with green groves on the roof tops, and on the ground it's all dead trees because everyone now has to live on top of buildings and build their houses on top of building to stay away form the infected.

    The story is not bad. It's actually pretty good, with great set pieces, interesting characters. It's very engaging.

    The choices you make do have an impact on your experience. You literally will have entirely different missions depending on what you choose. There is like ten different paths to take in the middle and 3 endings. This game reminded me of a bethesda game except the gameplay was actually good.

    Don't skip this. Techland brought us a banger, and will continue to update for 5 years.

    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.
