    Not worth the buy, hot buggy mess. over 40 hours of gameplay, 2 corrupted saves. One I am unable to upgrade glider because option is not in the craftmaster store and other save I am unable to claim a windmill due to no interaction option. halting my 100% save.

    From writing standpoint alone, Days Gone is miles ahead of this game. Days Gone has more depth, more natural dialogue, more interesting world design, better graphics and so on. Why i'm even mentioning Days Gone is the fact how big downgrade Days Gone 2 really is in terms of open world zombie games over the years. It's even worse than DL1 in many areas.

    Very bad! I'm Fan of Dying Light and I'm very sad about Stay Human.
    I am a game designer and I understand how many difficulties techland had to overcome during this time, but there is a feeling that they went on about Ubisoft. And they made another resource grinder.
    I will go through the main points that hooked me 1. Zombies - Into the Dying Light 2 you are not at all afraid of zombies,    Very bad! I'm Fan of Dying Light and I'm very sad about Stay Human.
    I am a game designer and I understand how many difficulties techland had to overcome during this time, but there is a feeling that they went on about Ubisoft. And they made another resource grinder.
    I will go through the main points that hooked me
    1. Zombies - Into the Dying Light 2 you are not at all afraid of zombies, you don't care about them, they are boring and not dangerous. while in dying light 1 you try to get to the shelter before nightfall because it was really hard to survive at night.
    The mechanics of the new zombies are not impressive, they still spit, jump, and others are slow.
    2. Interface - what happened to the interface? Did you hire an interface designer directly from Ubisoft? Seriously, it's very similar to Farcry and Assassin's Creed. The previous interface was not as intuitive, but it was simple and straightforward with its own unique style.
    3. Gameplay mechanics
    The battle became boring and repetitive from time to time, it was simply complicated by dodging and parrying, forgetting about the repulsion of enemies.

    The grappling hook has become very realistic, but we are in the game and the fact that in Dying Light 1 you could quickly move to the roof directly from the ground often saved me from dangerous zombies, oh wait in Dying Light 2 there are no dangerous zombies!

    The paraglider is a great idea, the implementation is **** By the way, in Dying Light 1 there was a paraglider that just helped you descend from a tall building or fly several tens of meters, in Dying Light 2 you fly with this parachute all over the map, but why?

    Parkour has become more interesting due to new tricks, but you can really quickly climb somewhere only towards the end of the game when you don’t need it at all. You have to constantly wait for your stamina to recover.

    4. Quests and main campaign
    Some quests are really interesting and unusual, but they are negligible.
    The main campaign and the main character, to my regret, did not cause any feelings. You don't empathize with the hero, his loss of his sister, you don't feel like you're the hero. in the first part, getting on the quest of the main campaign, Kyle Crane was really in a hurry and ran headlong, remember at least the escape from the pit from Rice.

    Dying Light 2 has its good points, like the layering of the map and its size, the history of the city and its surroundings, but all this does not matter if there is no such work on the details as Dying Light 1.

    In general, the game turned out for a large mass of the average level in order to go through once. I am disappointed and disappointed with the result. We were expecting a completely different game.

    Good night and good luck!    … Expand

    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.

    Controls are the worst. You can't slide because of delay. You can't can't the buttons. Want to use x as jump? Too bad mandatory R1? It is so Dumb I can't stand it! In a game about traversal you should feel comfortable with the controls. They don't care how you feel. Bad gamedon't buy until they fix it.

    The game is broken with glitches, I m playing on ps5 and the graphics are outdated and poorly optimized, 1080p 60fps with several drops in this hardware (ps5) is unbelievable wait for sale or don’t touch it at all boring missions and side quest lots of copy and paste bs looks like a 2015 game

    This was my least favourite gaming experience since cyberpunk and that’s saying something. This game was an abomination from beginning to end.

Remember the whole game reveal where draining the water was significant? Not a major thing. Remember when it said your choices matter to the story? It all ends up convolved together to get to the same point. I had every glitch you could encounter, I had characters stop talking with no mouth movements and no subtitles so I had no idea of the story in the beginning, I fell through the map, I got stuck, enemies would glitch through the roof, missions wouldn’t spawn, collectibles gone, couldn’t walk out of an invisible box, trophies glitch, character endless falling animation, graphics going completely haywire, Easter eggs not triggering and I managed to get outside the first island before it was finished and explore the second island… The story was boring, the music score wasn’t blended well with the surroundings to the point you knew a chase scene was happening before it happened, and the missions were so stupid. Why’d I get xp from listening to a guy talk about fish? Oh and the whole fact of being able to farm xp at night. I hated every second of the 200+ hrs I put into this game. How did you get it so wrong techland when you had an incredible foundation from the first game?… Expand

    The game glitches out at the final boss, my 21 hours of playing mean nothing because the last stage of the last boss is unbeatable on my ps5. I am so sick of games coming out so broken, this is inexcusable.

I return every couple of months on a new save, hoping I’ll finally be able to access the full game’s worth of content, only to be stopped even earlier in the game with brand new bugs. I’m sad to admit I’ve wasted about 100+ hours on restarted save after restarted save hoping each time that I get to play *something*. I check in another couple months later to the same stuff, only new bugs with yet another….~arena dlc~! So unique, truly groundbreaking. There’s really not much to say beyond detailing every last way this game has failed to work on both editions, across several major updates, across several saves.

    The voice acting is awful, and quests are an endeavour to see how long an individual can withstand terrible level design and boring objectives. Parkour is floaty and underwhelming. It lacks the connectivity and oomph of the first game.

    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.

    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.
