    I thought that cyberpunk was very bugged game until playing Dying Light. Story was very boring no depth in it. Side quests were so repetitive. The dialogues are too long and make no sense. The characters didn't even have a single facial expression all looked same at all. Black screens every few seconds in story missions. Weapons cant be repaired for no reason.
    I finished whole game without

    I finished whole game without one single shop upgrade cuz of the bug. Parkour was the only good thing in the whole game.

    A very good game, the parkour possibilities are very impressive. An interesting story. The lack of Italian dubbing is also a big plus! I recommend it to everyone!

    Eine Enttäuschung aber auch eine "Offenbarung" in gleichem Maße.
    Zuerst das "schlechte", wobei ich anmerken möchte, dass ich nichts wirklich Schlecht finde, sondern diese Punkte eher unter die Rubrik "das hätte besser laufen können" fallen.
    Der größte Faktor ist hier natürlich die Story. Diese kann man sich durchaus geben und hat auch nette Wendungen, wird aber an bestimmten Punkten sehr

    Zuerst das "schlechte", wobei ich anmerken möchte, dass ich nichts wirklich Schlecht finde, sondern diese Punkte eher unter die Rubrik "das hätte besser laufen können" fallen.
    Der größte Faktor ist hier natürlich die Story. Diese kann man sich durchaus geben und hat auch nette Wendungen, wird aber an bestimmten Punkten sehr durchschaubar. Außerdem wurden Auswirkungen beworben, die nur zum Teil vorkommen. Es gibt verschiedene Enden, die Entscheidungen die sich wirklich aufs Ende auswirken sind aber alle samt im letzten Drittel. Die Veränderungen in der Welt, die durch das zuweisen gewisser Gebäude getriggert werden, sind größtenteils vernachlässigbar. Lediglich eine Freischaltung (Freischaltung 4 bei den PKs) hat einen wirklichen Mehrwert für das Gameplay. Hier gilt grundsätzlich: Die Peacekeeper geben Fallen und Waffen und die Survivor bieten mehr Parkour Möglichkeiten. Zu den Enden noch eine Sache. Eine Entscheidung bestimmt, ob man für das Endgame ein neues Gebiet bekommt oder nicht. Hierrüber sollte man sich vielleicht vor dem Ende informieren.

    Mein letzter wirklich negativer Punkt ist die Performance. Dazu aber nochmal vorweg: Ich habe gesehen, dass viele Leute Probleme mit Bugs und Death Loops hatten, das ist mir aber bei zwei Durchläufen noch nicht ein mal passiert. Lediglich in den Credits des zweiten durchlaufs ist das Spiel das erste und einzige Mal abgestürzt. Daher beziehe ich diese Punkte nicht in meine Wertung ein.
    Die Performance ist leider relativ enttäuschend.
    Man bekommt auf der PS5 drei Modi. Performance, Qualität und Auflösung.
    Da sich 30 FPS für mich wie eine etwas schnellere Diashow anfühlen, was in einem Spiel wie diesem nicht unbedingt zweckdienlich ist, habe ich ausschließlich im Performance Modus gespielt. Der Aussage von Digital Foundry, dass diese 60 FPS Stabil sind, kann ich so nicht unterschreiben. An einigen Stellen im Spiel, besonders im zweiten Gebiet sind Bildrateneinbrüche zwar nicht regelmäßig, kommen aber häufiger vor als es sein sollte. Hier sollte "nachoptimiert" werden. Darüber hinaus, sieht das Spiel im Performancemodus einfach nicht gut aus. Es wird mit festen, nicht dynamischen 1080p gerendert. Eine Schande, denn 1440p60 wäre mit Optimierungen, FSR Implementierung und/oder dynamischer Auflösung sicherlich drin gewesen. Stattdessen bekommen wir aber leider ein sehr verwaschenes 1080p Bild.

    Nun zum Positiven:
    Das Parkourgameplay ist in 9,5 von 10 Fällen absolut super. Nur selten bin ich gefallen, weil Aiden eine Kante nicht greifen wollte. Es ist Anfangs langsam, allerdings merkt man mit jedem Investierten Skillpunkt und Hemmstoff eine deutliche Verbesserung bis zu dem Punkt, wo man ein absoluter Parkourgott ist. Die Gadgets die man in der zweiten Spielhälfte bekommt, verbessern das ganze nochmal, müssen aber bei Meisterhandwerken verbessert werden, um das volle potential ausschöpfen zu können. Besonders gut ist hier auch, dass man gerade bei der freien Erkundung nie nur einen Pfad hat. Es gibt immer alternative Routen und Lösungsmöglichkeiten, bei denen es sich teilweise sogar so anfühlt, als wären die so nicht gedacht.
    Das Kampfsystem profitiert meiner Meinung nach aber nur von einem Skill. Dem Dropkick. DIeser ist, wie auch schon im Vorgänger, absolut OP und macht die Kämpfe ab dem Zeitpunkt wesentlich einfacher und lustiger.

    Ein weiterer, klar positiver Punkt sind die Charaktere. Alle Charaktere sind super geschrieben und niemand ist schwarz/weiß. Jeder Charakter hat seine eigene Motivation und seinen eigenen, nachvollziehbaren Grund, wieso er so handelt wie er handelt. Besonders bei Lawan muss man allerdings auf die Entscheidungen in der Story aufpassen, da diese die Charakterentwicklung maßgeblich bestimmen.

    Dadurch, dass viele Leute von Gamebreaking Bugs berichten, würde ich zwar noch auf ein paar Patches warten, an würde ich Dying Light 2 allerdings jedem empfehlen, der Bock auf gute Zombie-Action hat und nebenbei noch eine nette Geschichte erleben will.

    It turned out that Italians have a problem with reading, even in their own language.

    What has happened to the Gaming Development industry? Is this what they call a finished product? Are they proud of this? Did they just make this to make money and forget about it?

    The graphics are OK, the sounds are OK, the gameplay..ehh..the story.. what story? It's as generic as it gets. The game is super glitchy and unfinished. The enemies and friendly NPCs all move around awkwardly

    Is the game fun? Kind of? As long as you can make fun of it and just follow quests WITH A FRIEND. By yourself? Go play Days Gone or almost any other BETTER open world and/or zombie game.

    I also do NOT understand why devs feel the need to add the work f**k into every sentence either. Good writing requires a bigger dictionary.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Day one player of the first game. Waited 7 years for this **** joke. At least one crash every hour, boring unoriginal campaign, unenjoyable boss fights, repetitive combat. I mean come on, the final boss fight of the game, the culmination, featured a 3 tier boss fight, with the boss reusing the same three voicelines every 3 seconds, about a thousand times, non stop. What a **** joke. Expand

    Unfortunately this Port was very poorly made, there is no option to hide the hud, whoever has an OLED screen is vulnerable to burn in.
    And it also doesn't have dynamic resolution, in performance mode the game is very blurry on an oled c1, looking like a PS3 game.
    Total regret buying this game at launch.

    First of all: No game deserves a 0-1/10 or 10/10 in my opinion. I love zombie games to death since I played the first RE game on the PSX, and still would not give this game a 10.

    First of all: No game deserves a 0-1/10 or 10/10 in my opinion. I love zombie games to death since I played the first RE game on the PSX, and still would not give this game a 10.

    With that out of the way, the review in 5 parts:
    - Graphics 6/10: Sure, it's no the last of Us levels of detail, but seeing as this is a open-world sandbox game I can understand why they went that route. Could be more, but the gameplay might forced the design here.
    - Story 7/10: It's cliched, but not bad. It is not completely obvious what's happening, you get a few moments of "show, don't tell" and the story makes at least to effort to portray both factions as grey, instead of good or bad. Also, the two faction route they put in place at least adds replay-value, as do the choices to a limited regard.
    - Characters 7/10: While I can admit that they sometimes are written a bit "dumb", and making your character the center of attention by acting helpless to get you involved is a tad to much, overall the characters are likeable and understandable enough in their actions that you can get behind them without suspending disbelief. Most of the bunch are capable to be mean arses in one cutscene, and later on bring out a dump one-liner that makes you crack a smile. Your character, Aiden, kinda reflects that as well: You can play him as a focused loner or a genuine social and caring guy, and both get presented believable enough to stick with me. Also, another plus: There are not many "pure bad guys" in the story - most of them act for a reason, and you can understand and feel bad for them in the story - even choosing how to react to them doing what they do. Techland at least didn't go down the "we tell you what to think about X"- route, and I am grateful for that.
    World design 9/10: This a good open world in my opinion. There are tidbits of survivor stories to be found everywhere, there is something interesting to at nearly every corner, and most of what you see would make sense in a zombie infested world. Villedor looks beautiful and makes climbing the rooftops enjoyable to play and see.
    Gameplay 10/10: This is hit or miss for most people, but damn I need to play favourites here; It's broken physics, but traversing the rooftops makes fun, and screwing with enemies with broken tools and weapons makes fun. This is clearly the main focus I got the game for this time around and it does not disappoint. It makes fun to play with a friend and have a laugh about ragdolling enemies from roofs, into spikes or water, grapple them around, watch em explode, etc. Even most of the bugs will likely "only" kill you in a ridiculous manner that makes you have a laughing fit rather than making you angry. Overall, the game is a blast by not taking itself too seriously.

    Overall, the game would come out as a 7.8.

    I gonna add one more score-point for replay-ability and to since there are way to much 0/10 ratings going around (mostly because of localisation issues), so feel free to read this a 8/10, if you choose.

    Dying Light 2: Stay Human is a great game that I definitely recommend. The gameplay is engaging, the story is interesting, and future patches and DLC could easily fix graphics and replayability, taking this game’s rating up to at least 8. Absolutely worth picking up and putting in 100 hours or more.

Absolutely worth picking up and putting in 100 hours or more.

    DETAILED SCORES:

    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!

    The combat sucks without guns as the first game had, its all mele slashing or stupid parkour fighting that most people don't even want to use. All that had to do was make a good story, which they didn't, and import the same fighting with a few improvements an they failed. The game bugs your saves an it lacks a new game plus

    The game bugs your saves an it lacks a new game plus feature so if at any point your game experiences an issue it would be best to stop playing. Some of the secrets are neat but nothing is really fun about them as they are just dumb time trials.

    The game also leaves you no way to truly max out your character unless your on pc with cheat engine. I really don't see how they are going to make the game better as the story was pretty much trash all interactions are really lame

    The plot of the game is pretty silly. Biggest part of main missions boring. Fight with boses, especially revenants, made easy and boring, no attack patterns, no challenge, final boss = worst boss in single player games, I ever seen. 20 minutes of fight with enemy, that have two attack types. NPC Textures have load delays and often I have grey models without textures. NPC Voices have load delays and often I have silent dialogues. Items have little and uncomfortable hitbox, when you want to take it, you must find the little point above it. On PS5, we have uncomfortable PC interface without habitual for console gaming interface, but with cursor. Side missions short and silly, so I don’t want to speak about that. Dark zones, at first, they seem interesting, but on 3-4 try, u understand that they all identical. Gameplay, especially parkour, is good and I have a lot of fun, when run across the city, it’s better and more dynamic then in 1st game. But it’s not save this game. Don’t recommend it for play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who absolutely loves the first Dying light game i can't help but feel disappointed after playing this game. Before i list my pros and cons of the game i want to remind that i played around 30 hours of this game, finished the campaign, did some side quests, found a lot of the upgrades and skills and did some free running. I played this on my ps5.

    Pros:

    Graphics are imo pretty good. I've seen a lot of people saying the graphics are bad but i think they look overall pretty good, they could be better but they did not bother me in the game.

    The crafting system is pretty good and simple to get the hang of.

    The paraglider is really fun and useful and works great in the second map.

    The second map that you unlock is insanely fun to play in. The high colorful buildings are great and varied.

    Cons:

    The story. Yes the story in the first game was also bad but the fun gameplay made up for it but not this time. Considering Techland put so much emphasis on the story when they marketed the game so to see it turn out like this is disappointing. Characters are pointless, boring and forgettable. Hakon was nice but disappears after the half way point and only comes in the end to betray you for no good reason and he is immediately forgiven for this, Lawan is also a character who comes along your journey and does stupid decisions and gets pissy when you call her out for them and gets herself in trouble constantly even if we tell her not to do things that get her in said troubles. Also choices don't really matter at all, no matter what you do Aiden's sister dies in the end so the whole point of the game is pretty much pointless. The only thing your decisions change is who comes with you in the ending, either you're alone, with Hakon or with Lawan, all of which are not satisfying options. Also there are very little connections to the characters from the first game, only one being Spike.

    Combat. The gameplay feels overall a downgrade from the first game in almost every way. The combat in this game feels slow, sluggish, unsatisfying and clunky. Zombies and humans half the time ignore or don't react to your attacks at all. Normal zombies aren't a threat almost at all, the humans on the other hand are stupid persistent and gang up on you and lock in their combo attacks constantly so fighting becomes more of a nuisance than a fun challenge. Also there are no more guns in the game aside from a bow, crossbow and a makeshift gun that break after a couple of shots. Who makes a zombie game without guns!? And for some reason the dropkick feels weird cause human enemies can block it and after you do the kick your character lies in the ground and gets back up so slowly that the enemies can just gang up on you while your still in the ground, so it becomes a liability more than a trusty power move.

    Parkour. Why is it so SLOW!? Jumping is too floaty and mid air control feels horrible. For some reason they added a climbing stamina bar but took out running stamina bar, like why!? Limiting the amount of parkouring you can do in a parkour game is a bad idea and this frustrated me so much especially in the early game when my character could not even climb a billboard because his stamina ran out. It was a **** addition and i hate it. Also why is the character always running but can't run in most of the safe zones even if there aren't even any npcs in them? Overall a downgrade in almost every way from the first game.

    The final boss is complete garbage. It is a buggy glitchy mess and the boss is a complete bullet sponge with bs combos that lock you in place. I honestly prefer the final boss from the first game which is also ass.

    Bugs and glitches. They are everywhere: textures not showing, lip-syncing not working, character pathing gone wrong, enemies getting inside solid objects so you have to restart the game to start everything again, also happened in the final boss phase 3, collision not working, physics not working, parkour not grabbing what you are trying to grab, double jump not working and many more.

    The nights. Volatiles only come out in high level chases in the overworld so they are almost never seen. Streets are ass during the night cause howlers are everywhere and alert all zombies after you. The night time meter also suck cause it limits your night exploration and it's just another pointless micromanagement. They ruined the selling point of the series that being "night is scary and beware" now they are just annoying and frustrating.

    also they removed the survivor skill tree, repairing weapons, first map is boring and sucks and dismemberment is severely downgraded.

    The game needed atleast another year of two in development to iron out the numerous bugs and glitches. I suggest you wait atleast 6 months for them to fix the glitches and wait for a sale. The first game was amazing and this game is worse in almost every way. This game is not horrible but it's not even close to the first game.

    DL2 is bigger and better than DL1. Takes the same survival horror route but improves everything that made the first game. Big world, interesting quests (much or even a little too much). For me - great geame!

    Fantastic sequel - I prefer the nighttime mode/new mechanics, yes it isn't nearly as scary as the first, but I like how you can decide to have a chase or not.

The factions, and other new mechanics largely hit. In no rush at all the move the story forward (finished broadcast which was excellent). Based on DL1 and Techlands press releases - support will be good with ongoing contents drops. The only shame is I bought for PS5, but my mate has it on Series X! Hopefully there will be crossplay (several mates have it on PS4). Well done Techland. Expand

    Game breaking glitches really ruined this experience for me. This game is a good example of why a person should never buy a game on release. Only buy games when they are discounted and on sale because by the time that happens; they will have actually finished it. Thereby justifying the $20 expense.

    **** techland and all developers and craftsmen or artists or salespeople who sell

    The game starts off kind of heavy and boring honestly, but picks up as you go along. It really opens up and becomes fun once you get past the introductory stage of the game. Story is very deep and the choices you make actually carry a lot of weight in how things progress.

    The only complains I have is that it still needing polishing up because I had a lot of zombie's clipping through

    The only complains I have is that it still needing polishing up because I had a lot of zombie's clipping through walls and people floating around. Some minor bugs and inconveniences. I did get some headaches from the game too. Not sure why but something about it wouldn't allow me to play long hours so I had to enjoy it in spurts.

    I'd definitely recommend for someone who wants a good story game with parkour and meaningful in game choices.

    Instant motion sickness makes it unplayable unless you want to feel sick the whole time and hours afterwards.

    Even with the motion blur turned off it gives me really bad sickness due to the unchangeable FOV, the character's constant headbobbing and moving, and how jerky he is with his movements. Cut-scenes are even worse. I don't understand how these devs can't get this stuff right.

    1. Unplayable on "Quality" or "Resolution" modes due to how slow and sluggish the gameplay becomes.

    1. Unplayable on "Quality" or "Resolution" modes due to how slow and sluggish the gameplay becomes.

    2. Performance Mode looks blurry and undetailed and still suffers from lots of major frame drops.

    3. Tons of bugs, several of which are gamebreaking.

    4. Extreme amounts of copy+paste. Most areas look more or less identical, even down to minor details like where bags and containers are placed. It basically feels like you're just clearing out the same area over and over again.

    5. The parkour, the most fundamental part of this game, is wonky at best. Expect to randomly fall (often to your death) just because your character decided to not grab a ledge when he should, or get stuck on a wall because he grabbed something he wasn't supposed to. This is irritating beyond words during any of the myriad of parkour challenges/sidequests littered throughout the game.

    6. One of the choices in the game permanently lock you out of an entire district of the map, and there's no indication whatsoever that this will happen. You can swim in the area to grab a few chests, but it's extremely slow and any enemies or other encounters you would normally run into in there will be unavailable to you unless you replay the entire game and make a different choice.

    7. When an enemy calls for reinforcements, they can spawn out of nowhere right next to you and attack you immediately, meaning you won't have the chance to finish looting that chest or whatever you were doing when it happened.

    8. Human enemies dodge a lot, and they're immune to damage while they do it. It isn't unusual for them to keep dodging one attack after another, and you won't be able to hit them until they decide to stop. You can still hurt them by using AOE attacks (such as grenades) or a ranged weapon, but the former will alert zombies and other enemies, and the latter are extremely rare, have limited ammunition and deal low damage compared to the melee weapons.

    9. Hitboxes are godawful. Even if there's an obvious distance between you and an enemy, they're usually able to hit you with attacks that would be a clear miss under normal circumstances.

    10. There are trophies for maxing out your Health and Stamina respectively, but you can only do one per playthrough, so you're forced to go through the whole game twice. You can kinda circumvent this by save scumming, but that would require you to not upgrade your Health and Stamina until late in the game, effectively locking yourself out of using most of the Parkour and Combat skills and thus make playing even more of an annoyance than it already is.

    11. Permanently missable sidequests and collectibles, which are required for trophies.

This time its in your combat and quests and proves just how sloppy the mechanics can be.

    In summary, this game is a more grindy version of the one I loved with attempts to revamp that just fall flat. Yea, its similar in some ways, but its added new features that just dampen the experience.

    History ... HISTORY! Oh my **** god! How weak it is! I was hit in the mouth 20 times when in cutscene before I started a fight / duel. Run out of ideas? Any of you play RPG, ever? Your script grind my gears. The NPC loses the radio, so that the opponents can find her trail because of that, and she is using that radio after a few secs - **** logic! You go to the observatory, take strong, special blockers so that all this chemistry does not melt you down in the blink of an eye. What is Lauan doing? She is rescuing you in no time, just like that. But you dear player survive direct hit from fooking missile! Nobody wants to get a skyscraper? You get tired for 20 minutes, then Lauan flies to your rescue and after 30 seconds he is next to you.

    Sometimes I was surprised how the action was going because I chose an answer that completely did not match what happened moments later. Spoiler alert! As with the final scene. And the last boss... the last boss!! I was so BORED! 4 stages of bordom and stupidity.

    The characters are shallow, the acting sucks like hell. The game is too short, the spheres of influence don't matter, the choices are not worth **** and the whole thing just sucks. 2/10 + 1 point for not having Italian language.

    Good luck next time

Before mentioning the story, I want to start off with the gameplay. After playing for several hours, I found the gameplay to be quite satisfying, but it was not perfect in my opinion. It does make the game more challenging with the stamina implementation towards doing parkour, but it was quite annoying climbing tall buildings and running out of stamina just to instantly die from falling. Stamina was not just a problem, climbing itself did prove to be hard considering the instances when I wanted to jump to another platform, but because of how much the screen moves with every movement your characters head does, I would miss several platforms to grab onto and die instantly from falling or the zombies would catch up and kill me, or even the bows, Molotov's, and other various projectiles being flung at my character. There were also tedious moments when I wanted to climb a specific object ingame and my character would not wanna climb, perhaps it was because of how he was positioned, but at times it was frustrating trying to find a spot to climb up a building with the little time I had before enemies caught up.

    The combat is extremely fun, and once you unlock a lot of skills. You can easily cheese your way through the game. I was level 3 and I headed towards a level 5-6 enemy base to capture and I kept drop kicking enemies off the building instantly killing them. Same went for other instances when I'm just running on the roof tops and an enemy is straight ahead. I would drop kick not just one, but two enemies in a single blow off the roof.

    The environment was pretty cool, I had much more options than the first game when it came to running away from things or trying to get somewhere. Although as much as I liked the games overall design. It was annoying running on a roof top and being completely blind because a tree was blocking my view of where I was going.

    Story wise, it was pretty generic. The choices you made did little to nothing, and I'm not sure what I did wrong from the beginning of the game, but for some reason every npc who wasn't trying to help me. Were rude, and mean towards the main character, which was completely weird considering how I helped a settlement from a renegade attack once, and then a side quest had me go back to that settlement and one of the npcs said "Where were you when the island was attacked?". Then proceeded to degrade my character which totally through me off. Considering how it's a zombie apocalypse and I do understand that people would be living on edge, I don't know why even after helping some npcs you're still treated like garbage. So at the end of the day, any choice you make doesn't affect how npcs view your character in a big impactful way.

    Aiden, the main character is the single most generic, naive, bold and clueless character I have played as in awhile. When an npc is actually being helpful and nice, he would rudely push for his agenda and the game doesn't let you decide how you respond to someone in game either. The character has zero development throughout the story as well. He is either dumb and letting people use him, or just a rude character pushing for his agenda which I understand because he is looking for someone important to him, but still. He has no sense of just listening to someone.

    7/10 because I subtracted points for having a generic MC, annoying parkour physics, and poorly written story.

    I hesistated a lot to buy this game but gave it a try. With the latest patch it is for the most part playable. I was glad that I didnt encounter game breaking bugs, e.g. death loop and others but I have to admit that there are still lots of bugs in the game. Texture glitches, missing parcour grabs, trigger not activating, treasure you need to open on a special angle and more.

Texture glitches, missing parcour grabs, trigger not activating, treasure you need to open on a special angle and more.

    I also feel the game engine is not the best. 1080p60 in performance mode runs mostly flawless but honestly the game looks bad in comparison to early trailers and for that it performs not well enough. The story writing is pretty bland and after a while you feel like re-visiting the same places over and over again making it a slightly run down experience. Enemy variety is pretty poor, same goes to the equipment variety. At least the weapons are somewhat satisfying.

    The game lacks a lot quality of life improvements, e.g. remember the filters I set in the inventory because I dont want to set it for the 100th time, why do I need to switch on my light over and over again etc. Bragging with 500hrs of playtime was honestly a silly move to because it is one of the few modern the game where: you cant max stats no matter how long you play, you get locked out of collectibles which you cannot re-visit after the game ends and there are also some trophies that are plain stupid, e.g. millionaire or running 960km.

    In general the combat and gore was satisfying. I did like some of the characters and the weapons pulled my score up but after all you should wait and buy the game at a sale of at least 50%. For germans that might consider buying the cut version - dont do it, get the uncut disc version because honestly the bloody part is one of the essentials and you will miss out big time.

    Не мое, игре не идет форма от первого лица. Отсталая графика и много багов, практически нет отличий от первой части.

    Allow me to introduce you to dying light 2. Without too much ramble, first the graphics they look worse than borderlands, dying light 1, far cry 2,3,4,5,6 and any other first person shooter and you've seen that since the new gameplay trailer dropped so nothing new here but I thought it might be better when you play it at a high resolution on my ps5. But no the game has no personalityAllow me to introduce you to dying light 2. Without too much ramble, first the graphics they look worse than borderlands, dying light 1, far cry 2,3,4,5,6 and any other first person shooter and you've seen that since the new gameplay trailer dropped so nothing new here but I thought it might be better when you play it at a high resolution on my ps5. But no the game has no personality unlike dying light 1 the dark tones fit the atmosphere the parkour was fast and sleek when you got out of a hoard you actually felt pheww. When you did rooftop parkour it was scary cause if you fell down you're done. But yeah the game feels like it lacks ambient occlusion, antialiasing, fog and resolution is the biggest problem. Also very few godrays when it should be lathered with it. The render distance is bad and popping is prominent I would not buy this game for 60 bucks for these features alone. It took rockstar games 7 years to make red dead 2 so did it took to make dying light 2 and the game is 6 to 7 times bigger than dying light 2 but also with phenomenal graphics bare in mind it released on last gen and it has better graphics. Of course you can argue that techland is way smaller company but there world is also way smaller we arent asking for much anyway we are asking for a open world game which looks good not ultra detailed but at least looks somewhat next gen and it looks like a ps3 game far cry 2 had better textures than this. Moving on to gameplay the parkour is horrible, its floaty, its slow, its clunky, you get stuck on objects basically everything but dying light. After that is the stupid paraglider which doesn't obey laws of physics when you pull the glider down it goes up 5 ft like what, newton must be turning in his grave, it also dosen't help that it removes all the anxiety and thrill you had while doing parkour on rooftops. The combat is hilariously boring the melee or whatever is not good also the zombies are less scary . The protagonist has powers now? well what the hell why not make me a mutant with big claws and giant teeth looking like black ops zombie please dont put supernatural elements in your game I like humans you know people liked the older characters bcz it was something they can relate to. I and I can barely relate to this protagonist aiden bcz he is a mutant or whatever he is. The story and the writing are gonna be watch dogs 2 level was known since we watched the first gameplay trailer. Where the girl says yes we did it with the most uninspired voice ever how can you like the game when the va have no passion or intrest whether the emotion is being expressed or not. The system of choosing sides is the most boring system I was like yeah whatever. Also people keep saying this about far cry games that its more of the same and this game is like less of the same not in a good way but bad. Characters enviroment and physics all have been downgraded its less of the same and barely had anything good from the last game. AI also terrible sometimes they see you other times you will be in front of them but nothing happens. Did this game left impact on me? yes its terrible story left a impact on me and made me understand that everyone cant be a writer hahaha. Jokes aside it has nothing on the name of impact and watch dogs 2 probably made me feel more impacted than this. This game made me realise that preordering any new games was a mistake. Before I go this game has tons of bugs as much as gta defnitive edition Expand

    I did not play the original Dying Light but I knew I had to jump into this one for how popular the original was and owing it to myself to experience this game. I will just say to me it felt like a FAR CRY Zombie game which isn't bad or anything but not exactly great either. I had fun when sticking to the main story as the side quest felt like fetch and return.

    Most of bad reviews point out bad story, fals advertising, poor optimisation and boring gameplay. There are very few "0 score reviews" just because of lack of Italian language.

    This game is really disappointing, bad, childish and unfinished.

    Grafisch ist dieses Spiel sehr schlecht. Die Texturen scheinen aus einem Spiel von vor 10 Jahren zu stammen. Das Beleuchtungssystem ist schrecklich, die Charaktere sehen aus wie Papier. Es scheint nicht mit der Ps5 zu spielen, sondern eine Ps4 in der Hand zu haben. Und es ist nicht lustig

    I never write reviews, but for this game I have to write. In short: zombies at in 5 fps, all objects further than 5 meters are blurred, trees on buildings in 2D, grass in 2D, quests are boring, dialogs are loading with about 5 sec delay. Sometimes after you had a dialog you need to go 2 meters to wait for another dialog... A lot of bugs.

    Зарегистрировался только чтобы оставить оценку. Никогда в жизни этого не делал, но эта игра заставила меня это сделать. Начну с самых критичных для меня минусов:

    1. Огромнейшие баги которые напрочь убивают весь игровой экспириенс. Квестовые двери не открываются, летающие зомби в воздухе, диалоги с летающими дверьми вместо персонажей, зависание прыжков. 2. Оптимизация и мыло. 3090

    1. Огромнейшие баги которые напрочь убивают весь игровой экспириенс. Квестовые двери не открываются, летающие зомби в воздухе, диалоги с летающими дверьми вместо персонажей, зависание прыжков.

    2. Оптимизация и мыло. 3090 задыхалась и после пары часов игры просаживался фреймрейт (система очень холодная)

    3. Просто максимально бредовый и дырявый сюжет, особенно в конце. Такое чувство что его переписывали тысячу раз. Это наверно самое большое разочарование, именно этот фактор стал решающим чтобы я зарегистрировался и оставил отзыв.

    4. Физика всей боевки. Об этом уже много сказано.

    5. Постоянные загрузки (!!!) диалогов, как будто я играю в игру 2010 года.

    6. Ультраскучные квесты в роли принеси подай, которые практически не имеют никакого смысла в сюжете.

    7. Баги в коопе. Сначала вы с другом на задании, идёт кат сцена, вы оказываетесь зачем то в центре города, потом переноситесь в обратно в локацию сюжетного задания, и так по кругу несколько раз, пока не закончится кат сцена. Как покупатель я не понимаю почему я должен страдать и пользоваться очень сырым продуктом за 60 долларов. Для этих целей есть тестировщики, которые получают за это зарплату. За 10 долларов я бы в это поиграл, но не за 60, это позор.

    Плюсы:

    1. Реально хороший продуманный паркур.

    2. Есть кооп.

    3. Не заметил копипаста повторяющихся зданий, выглядит все так будто ты путешествуешь по настоящим городам. К сожалению это все плюсы, и мне от этого очень грустно, что теклэнд тупо просрали такую хорошую игру. У меня все.

    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.
