    It's a mediocre game compared to the first one. Despite a few improvements to parkour, the first game is better in almost every way. The game's optimization is awful, it requires a high-end pc, but it doesn't even deliver the next-gen graphics to justify it. Forgettable.

    Too much HUD elements!
    Why these modern games have so much HUD elements? It's atrocious.
    I suggest we start a real campaing for LESS HUD IN GAMES. Who's with me?

    Rarely has my opinion of a video game changed as much as I did with Dying Light 2. By the first act, I honestly thought I had a contender for a 90's rating. World building, characters, decisions, massive fights and the parkour system really convinced me at first.

    But the longer the season dragged on, the more the framework collapsed. Very little is made of characters and world.

    But the longer the season dragged on, the more the framework collapsed. Very little is made of characters and world. Fighting just lacks the variety to keep you entertained over the long gameplay, and parkour became rather exhausting for me (since I assigned all areas to the Peacekeepers).

    But the worst part is the story. Rarely has there been such a soulless protagonist who literally stumbles helplessly from one boring event to the next. For me personally, Dying Light 2 is unfortunately a missed opportunity. Because if Techland had built on the good foundation of Act 1, we would have had the first hit of the year    … Expand

    I loved the original Dying Light, obviously I had my issues with it and I hoped they would be addressed here…. And they just weren’t.. In a lot of ways things have gotten worse…
    This is an open world first person zombie game that took me about 20 hours to complete, and can be played wit up to 4 players co op… Youre a night runner, youre infected early on in the game which adds a layer of tenseness to the game which I loved, Theres a timer when youre in buildings or running around at night that have hav to keep filled with UV lights or the the sun so you don’t turn into a zombie.. this mechanic was never annoying.. in fact I never ran out of time, but I appreciate the level of immersion there… bevasue sadly this mechanic is where the immersion ends.. Like the original Dying light the world here just doesn’t feel lived in… it’s a mess zombie playground but even more lifeless than last time.. .a generic game world feel rather than again feeling like a world that used ti be brimming with life… I did love exploring the buildings during the main story missions, but nothing ever enticed me to seek things out on my own.. no addictive hook when it came to loot as every weapon breaks, theres nothing cool to find in this world, so why bother? Why not just stick to this super boring story? Which is what I did… One thing Dying Light 2 improved on is the flow of the parquor… It still needs works, its still frustrating at times, but it miles better than the original… and the combat is great too.. I loved getting into fights with my modded weapons, however the enemies this time around feel kind of brainless and just in the way rather than a threat like the past game.. and my biggest complaing.. I absolutely hated the second half of the game… running around in Dying Light 2 just isn’t fun… its not.. I feel like Im the only person who feels this way and I have no idea how.. I died more trying to get from point a to b, than I did the enemies once I finally got to the mission…
    I would love a more mirrors edge / modern assins creed style system in the future because I dreaded having to run through this city in the second half.. I didn’t mind the first half of the game where building were low and close like an old school assassins creed game, but the larger city.. awful…
    Overall Dying Light 2 is a fine game, its good, the combat is great, but the loot system is a disappointment and the story is just bad, it is.. I was non invested in the world at all…
    Youll have fun going through the campaign, its just a shame nothing in the world entices you to explore or to care…

    I gave it 8 not 10 because of some glitches and some repetitive side quest (which game isnt? I know there are some game like Elder Scroll has excellent side quests but its not really apple to apple comparison). Overall, it is a very enjoyable game, especially exploring the city and tunnels, it almost bring up the insomnia of the fallout 3 memories.

    STORY:
    Techland just refuses to admit they're no good at storytelling. They already failed in making a compelling liniar story in the first game, what made them think a story with choices (which is far more demanding) was gonna work out any better? The story was unbearable to get through ontop of such garbadge voiceacting. Why would I care for how much choices I have when I don't care about anything going on? Take "The walking dead" season 1&2 by Telltale games for example, which btw its sole gamemechanic is choices, I very much enjoyed these games. Despite having barely any of its choices truly matter I still enjoyed every opertunity I got to invest in it's story, because I CARED FOR IT. Not for Dying light. Do NOT BUY for its story.

    OPEN WORLD/ EXPLORATION:
    Here I can see people argue there has been improvements. For me, overall it's a strong NO. The open world has more fun layouts for you to interact with as you parkour, yes but there are no fun encounters, sidequests or gratifying loot to find. It was just no fun whatsoever to explore.
    Weapons break so fast you don't even care when you find a ledgendary weapon, and where the hell did all the weapon blueprints go?! That was my favorite loot in the first game!

    GRAPHICS:
    Who cares? It's Dying light, it has never been at the forefront for this game. Gameplay and exploration is what makes or breaks in this game. Graphics has been improved no doubt, but nothing to be competing with other triple-A-games in the industry. So if you're expecting great improvements in the looks department after 7 years from its predecessor you're out of luck.    … Expand

The combat was OK, and the enemies weren’t too bad- except the last boss. I had a pretty good ending on my run through. I spent nearly 32 hours with the game without doing any side quests. Overall, I recommend the game and I can see myself playing it again maybe in another year or so. I’d give it an 9/10 or 4/5. I don't know why this game is getting all the hate.… Expand

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.    … Expand

    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

    I was expecting a lot from this game considering how much the first one managed to stay in my memory as one of my favorite coop games ever played. It turns out that DL2 has not followed the same path. While I still enjoyed playing it with three of my friends, it failed to impress me in the following matters.

The game has less surprises,    I was expecting a lot from this game considering how much the first one managed to stay in my memory as one of my favorite coop games ever played. It turns out that DL2 has not followed the same path. While I still enjoyed playing it with three of my friends, it failed to impress me in the following matters.

    First, the ambiance is way less dark than in DL1. The game has less surprises, is de facto more predictable or even excessively repetitive and fails to make the player feel any tension.

    That leads me to my second point being the gameplay and more specifically the combat. It is just so messy and less refined than in DL1 (less mods, less animations, less satisfying-to-smash moments).

    Third, let us talk about the unacceptable amount of bugs/glitches in this game. There are so many of them and while some are funny, the vast majority are penalizing. Constant moans from your friends’ characters during 80% of the time (I swear, so many moments during which the game wants the climax to be serious/tense/sad and then you hear « uh eh oh uh uuuh » 24/7 in the background); a black screen during the second most important cutscene of the game, countless amounts of totally weird transitions with crazy long loading times… The list is too long.

    I am also deeply disappointed by the story of this game. It had so much potential but it feels savagely rushed. By the end of the game, some important events happen and the storytelling completely omits to mention the fate of numerous important characters of the game, including the most important of them all depending on the ending you might get.

    The world of the game is cool, I really loved to be able to parkour everywhere again, but as opposed to DL1, here I noticed a lot of building recycling, and overall less detail. I will not sell the game because I want it to be properly patched, and even expanded to add its – litteraly – missing pieces.

    Note that I played the whole game in coop. My whole review is thus based on my coop experience. Furthermore, by reading me, you might think I only state the negative stuff, and I do, but that is specifically because I fundamentally love this game.

    It was okay , not better then the first one but really open . It has so many things to offer but I don't really like if a game has so much open world stuff.
    I really liked the weapons of the first game and it sucks that they didn't copy the system into the second one.

Jonah Scott did an amazing job in this game, and so did other main characters such as Hakkon and Lawans actors.

    Gameplay: Dying Lights gameplay is amazing, but if you don’t constantly keep using different skills it gets repetitive. The skills are really satisfying to do also, and running across rooftops and jumping over and sliding under never gets old.

    Graphics: I didn’t have high hopes for the graphics on this game because cyberpunk but it surprised me with its environmental suspense and graphical fidelity. Animations in this game are good, facial animations could use some work.    … Expand

    It feels like the first entry and looks about the same. There is a lot to do in Dying Light 2 but it all feels like DLC to me. The story feels predictable and the characters I just don't care about whatsoever. I do enjoy my time playing Dying Light 2 but it is more of a time wasting experience than anything I am going to want to talk to my friends about.

    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

    This game improves on the original in many ways, improved and new parkour movements and in my opinion a better and well written story. Combat is fluid and fun. I experienced minimal bugs just a few clipping issues here and there. Over all a brilliant game for an indie developer well done techland.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am absolutely disappointed in this game. Besides the countless glitches, my game has crashed three times, I've fallen through the map twice, the parkour mechanics are all over the place; I've died more times by slips and falls than zombies and human enemies attacks because Aiden falls whenever he jumps onto something; trying to jump onto a ledge is a major project at times because he always jumps to the side instead of in front of him. Some of the side missions which required Aiden to make a choice were bugged- no audio and no subtitles, so I had NO idea what the **** was going on!

    And now, my game is broken. I am stuck at the story quest of The Colonel, the mission after meeting Juan at his hideout does not appear. I also cannot sleep in any safe zone; I get the message that I cannot sleep because it's not safe. I cannot progress through the story because the missions are NOT appearing! I restarted the game three times and I am still not seeing any story quest missions. So I am UNABLE to play the game. I never had any problems playing the first Dying Light.

For a game that claims to have a lot of choices you often don’t or when you do get to choose it’s about random trivia that you won’t care about. People are dying and we need to do something fast but yes let me ask about this guys tattoo instead for some reason. There’s also nothing to do in the game. The skill tree is so boring that you won’t care when you level up. Weapons break so fast so you won’t care when you find a legendary new one. Clothes claim to change your stats but it’s so insignificant that it does not matter. I then thought “I’ll just choose the ones I think look cool then instead”, but they all look boring. Side missions are a joke. First side mission I tried was about a guy talking about a fish!? that’s it!? The majority of side missions I’ve tried are them pointing at a challenge. Don’t try to trick me this is a side mission, it’s just a challenge with a guy pointing at it. I usually play almost all side missions in open world games and this must be the worst I have ever experienced claiming this game has side missions.

    The first game was awesome. Did it have flaws? Yes the main story was not great but the overall game was awesome. I feel like the only thing, for some reason, they took from the feedback from the first game was that people was not a huge fan of the main story. And their response was let us create a much worse story and only focus on that, so that what was good about the first game is just not present anymore! Where are the legendary blueprints you could find? Fun skill tree? Side missions? There is nothing to do in this empty open world. Nothing to work towards. Nothing to save up money for or a skill I want to get. The skill tree is really weird for some reason I could just pick the last skill in both trees as one of my first skills. That makes no sense. I played this game on hard difficulty but I just felt that they made resources more scarce. I upgraded some of my blueprints at the beginning but I never had enough resources to actually use them. Whats even the point of making an open world game if there is nothing to do except for the main story (which was bad).

    The world has a lot of copy paste content. All indoor sections look the same. They even ruined the day/night cycle for exploration. In the first game you could choose if you want to explore a volatile nest during the night or day. More zombies are inside during the day but it can be more difficult and scary to get to the nest during the night. In the second game they claim to have the same choice but it is just not true! I was inside a GRE facility during the day and the zombies spawned right on me by the second. I wanted the challenge but the game did not let me. Why lie about this feature when it is not implemented in the game. Fat zombies literally spawned and exploded on me every 10 seconds because it was during the day!?

    The only thing that was fun about this game was laughing about how bad the story was. People constantly calling you telling you that they love Lawan and if you hurt her they will get mad. I DON’T KNOW LAWAN. Why does everyone in this game care for Lawan? Why even fight amongst each other? Just make amends and bond over the fact that you all LOVE Lawan! If the game did not force Lawan and her kill list (really is she 5yo?) down my throat I might have enjoyed Lawan as a character more. But now she together with the rest of the story just feels like a cringy mess. You where not able to make a linear story in the first game. What made you think you could pull of a story with choices? Like I can’t climb this rock but I’ll show them, I’ll climb Everest! Why!? The studio really doesn’t have the maturity to create a game with several choices. To do that successfully you truly need to be able to create characters with depth not just black and white characters. This was embarrassing and I really can’t understand anyone giving this game a higher score. I’m not even going to talk about the bugs although they are game breaking and very common. Fixing the bugs won’t change my opinion or score of this game. You can clearly see how they struggled with the vision for this project. Messy leadership leads to messy game.    … Expand

I waited for this game ever since I've finished the Following DLC, was in absolute love with Techland's post apocalyptic world vision and replayed DL1 more than once. Dying Light 2 is a bad game, and if you liked the first game, I believe you're going be disappointed. Let me start off by saying that it is not a survival horror anymore. Its a survival rpg but the horror part it not there. The game is just not scary. In Dying Light 1, even near the very end of the game, a group of zombies was an actual threat that was hard to get rid off, not to mention virals or goons. At the beginning of the game encounter with 2-3 zombies was enough to get you killed. The sense of impeding doom, that you can die at any moment was present through the entire Dying Light 1 experience. In Dying Light 2 I forgot there were zombies at all. They didn't pose much of a threat and we're dying in 3 hits. There is a very limited variety of them as well, even ar night. In DL1 you'd meet at least 3 variants of goons, toads, bolters, voliatiles... DL2 let's you meet a voliatile mostly in cutscenes. Zombies are just not scary. Second thing is the night. The night was stripped of all gear inducing elements. There's no more nighttime challenge, basically. Enemies are more or less the same, and it's enough to stick to the roof to avoid any threat. It's just boring. The night lest you explore places where zombies stay during the day. Places that are more or less the same. There are a couple of variants that look 1:1, copy-paste, not interesting at all. You're just not inspired to explore, and exploration was big in DL1. This leads to the next issue - crafting system was diminished to absolute **** you do not need it to go through the game. I remember going after resources needed all the time, like gazes or metal parts in DL1. Well, you don't have to do it in DL2, this you are not inspired to explore even more! I finished the game with a ****ton of garbage that I looted though the game. You can't craft cool weapons right off the bat, there's just not much pressure on exploration which was major and vital in DL1. The city IA NOTHING like Harran, I get it's been many years since Harran but.. come on! Villedor is cool only at times where Harran had that eerie, post-apocaliptic-kind-of-cool atmosphere everywhere. The second game was stripped off all the elements that made DL1 a gem. Instead, Techland focused on the story, which is cheap, non-logical, jumps from thing to thing without any explanation. My 5 year old nephew would have written a better narrative, what the **** Techland. The ending was dog**** and the final boss was just cheesy? He fought with a tactic of a person who goes through Dark Souls for the first time. The game has nothing to do with DL1!! No atmosphere at all. Parkour was an improvement, and parkour-combat was very cool, bit it's just not enough. Graphics are ... I dunno, I'm not big on graphics anyway, they were enough for me, but it does not compensate anything. The game is bad and should stand as an example on how NOT to make a sequel. Especially if people want more of the same thing. I was very sad when I finished this game. Oh, and the 60$ pricetag is pathetic. The whole thing seems like a call of duty money grab.… Expand

    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!

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.

    This game would probably be fun if it wasn't broken. Developer has acknowledged various game-breaking bugs which have not yet been fixed on subsequent patches. Not sure what game the "critics" played, but in its current state it is unplayable for any extended period of time. Shameful for a game to be released in this state and for refunds not to be offered.

    I've just about got the Platinum , game is a lot of fun, sure the story could be a little better but gameplay is a rich experience, the only real issues right now are technical issues, hopefully Techland will resolve these soon, glitched trophies, broken netcode etc but at it's core there's a lot of fun to be had in DL2.

I was expecting some kind of novel/brilliant twist on these subjects, but no. The "zombies" and other opponents have awful AI and lend almost nothing of interest to the story or gameplay other than being the conceptual backdrop for the game.

    The voice acting is something you'd expect from a group of 5-year olds trying to sound like bad guys. It's so bad that I'm embarrassed every time someone speaks in this game. That's totally unacceptable in these modern times, where so many games in this price range have an excellent and thoughtfully crafted story, script and voice actors.

    The mildly unique fighting/movement stuff isn't anywhere near interesting enough to anchor an otherwise silly, boring and sloppily produced game. I'm not investing any more of time into this stinker.    … Expand

Tenho que destacar que em relação ao trilher mostrado na E 2018 houve um gigantesco e massivo downgrade em relação a parte gráfica do jogo. A cidade mostrava ser bem mais estruturada e linda.

    They can release stupid 'DLC' (if you can even call it that) but cannot fix the game. I don't think I could ever purchase another game from these inexcusable idiots.

    On top of everything they give you a tutorial which is not optional & works but takes a couple of hours so you're already past the refund window which is what I believe a deliberate act on their part as they know the game is completely broken & should never EVER of been released in such state.    … Expand

The first game was an unforgettable masterpiece that changed the generic formula of zombie games and will be remembered for a long time. But dying light 2 unfortunately didnt provide me with as much entertainment as it's predecessor. I'm shocked at how they butchered the parlour with the stupid addition of moon gravity jumping, slow as **** vaulting and climbing and the overall default running speed is unbelievably slow, especially when you compare it to the first game. Weapons are far too weak even in the endgame (yes I have finished the game) zombies are still tanky but most of all fighting the zombies is just a big cure for insomnia. They don't have ragdoll physics, there is no weight to your weapons at all, and they barely stagger when you hit them. Fighting zombies in the first game was 1000 times more fun in the first as there was so many ways to kill them but in this game they don't even tumble when you kick them off of rooftops they just freeze and fall straight down like a loony tunes character. I know that alot of people love this game and good for them but many of those people I know haven't even played the first. On my final note feel like I need to mention that this games graphics have almost zero character compared to the first. The first games graphics really popped and had so much character. Yes there are more polygons and rendering but you will never be able to distinct where you are unless the buildings are taller because you will be seeing the same mossy green rooftops the entire game. In the first game I knew where I was all the time because no place looked the same and the old town especially had alot of distinctive areas like the town centre full of zombies or the danger zone that played a fake message leading into a trap with a serial killer. Plus the nights are just not scary anymore. It is way to bright to be even classed as night. it should be called evening instead. There a no more roaming volatiles and the special infected are almost never present apart from the howler. I think I saw a banshee and a volatile about 2 times my entire playthrough which one of each was scripted btw. And you will never feel afraid at night like you did in the first. I wish I could praise the game more but the only beneficial change is the combat between humans. If I was to suggest what to play instead, I would suggest the platinum edition of dying light 1… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun parkour movement that can be a little wonky and frustrating due to the first person perspective. Combat is definitely not very layered as it is just 90% melee weapon swinging, just dont get surrounded and overwhelmed and most fights have been a breeze. The combat improves when new abilities are unlocked such as the curb stomp and the awesome big damage drop kick. Seriously, you can wack away with a blade or a hammer but a jump and kick does triple the damage. Decent open world map with endless activities to do. Activities like supply caravans, stores, etc. are repeatable to farm valuables for money or parts for crafting. Crafting system is ok, materials are all over and easy to find. Upgrading the crafting recipes is a real pain in the ass as they require an unreasonable amount of monster tokens, most of which have to be farmed at night and don't have a definite drop rate. Most standard recipes seem to require upwards of 50+ uncommon tokens to upgrade fully, and there are at least 50 recipes to upgrade. A standard play session usually netted me somewhere around 20-25 uncommon tokens, so progress on upgrading has been very slow. Copy and pasted skyrim/Fallout lockpicking system could use an overhaul as it is stale at this point. Lockpicking does not pause the game though which keeps the intensity up if there are enemies nearby or if you are in the dark or in the toxic material. I really enjoyed the nighttime travesal and ticking clock game that you would have to play to stay alive. With only around 5 minutes of survival time when outside of daylight or UV light the early parts of the game were much more of a sturggle to stay alive and reach the goal. By mid to late game I had piled up enough immunity boosters and UV shrooms to basically ignore the mechanic all together, with no shortage of resources in sight. The story has been engaging and eventful, there are almost too many named characters to keep track of and follow, the "choices" within story missions lead to some tough decisions. I ultimately sided and gave the nuetral territory resources to the "survivors" because I wanted to make travesal as easy as possible because I like clearing the map in these open world games. The final boss was a **** that had 4 extremely similar and annoying phases, which included unblockable attacks with no rythm and some instant death areas if you fell off. *SPOILERS* The game really fell off in the late game for me, I'll admit I maybe made some wrong key story choices like letting Hakon die and choosing to save Lawan at the end, I definitely got the "bad" ending which always seems to happen to me during these games, I'll still never get over my witcher 3 ending. In the end everybody but me and lawan died and the entire city exploded due to a rocket strike i chose to let happen. Sheesh.… 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.
