    This game is really fun. I haven't played anything for a long time that felt this good. It seems like a lot of games recently just lack the "need" to improve and keep playing. This game has that.

It has some silly bugs and stuff but if you look past that. And give Techland a chance to improve this with updates you won't regret purchasing this. I feel like a lot of people banded together to spread hate to this game. I would give more attention to critic reviewers then the user reviews. Honestly if you think about it when people just decide they hate something without trying it they start to leave reviews without even playing the game. And I don't feel like that's fair because how could they have a clear view of what it is like.… Expand

    The game is released in an outrageously half-baked state. It's a disgrace that the developers and publisher thought this is right.

It's a disgrace that the developers and publisher thought this is right. I have the PS5 version, ~15-20 hours in and I haven't seen a single cutscene that would actually play as it should. The main story cutscenes are broken to the level that I don't know what's happening, because characters just stand in the corner while the audio plays. Camera is moving into the wall and into other character's groins, Once I saw a character I was talking to standing and her head was twisting around like a propeller. I haven't seen a SINGLE CUTSCENE in the game that would play as "intended". Sometimes I was just talking to a bottle or a baseball bat, in worst cases, there are new characters introduced in audio but I don't see anything from a 2 minute cutscene..
    Regarding the PS5 version: To be honest my first reaction was that damn, that graphics look dated as hell! Textures are blurry, trees especially looking bad. Some textures are amateurish, looks like they tries to compensate detail with chaotically layering noise on top of everything. You could easily tell that it was made for PS4, the level of detail on models id very low, looks like it was optimised for PS4 heavily. It is NOT USING ANY OF THE PS5 FEATURES.. Why call it a PS5 game then? Sometimes I felt the trigger is harder to pull but there's no sophistication behind it, just a blind value. And nothing else.. It plays and feels last gen, including the gameplay..
    The gameplay reminded me of Far Cry series in a bad way.. No matter how powerful you are, your character is forced to be a dumbass in the cutscenes so other characters can get a hand over him, beat him, take his stuff etc.. This kind of a storytelling is lame and should not be allowed.. If you are building a power fantasy about a parkouring high jumping zombie killing hero, showing him get beaten up in every cutscene is just a kick in the balls for the power fantasy of the game.. Absolutely bad game design..
    Characters are introduced in the beginning as they know each other, but let's be honest this is the N+1-th zombie game nobody remembers the first one or their characters that much.. Playing the "familiar card" in this case was a waste of effort..
    Most decisions in the game you have to make are either arbitrary or outright illogical, like destroying a power generator. Really? would you really destroy a power generator in a world where UV light and Power generators literal difference are life and death?
    To be honest, I found all fractions equally irritating, so I made my choices in a way when I anticipated more people to die, but there's no misanthropic choice, the game just forcing you to be enemies with one no matter what you do.. The fractions itself are quite "on the nose", "good people in the church" "bad people are the police". Really? Can you be more cliché?
    Game systems are predictable and outdated..
    Just so I can tell something good too, character models are reasonably detailed, but since the cutscenes are **** altogether, you cannot really enjoy them, unless you like to view them from 1mm up close since the cameras are all over the place..
    The very first running music in the first cutscene is a steal from Ghost in the Shell, from a relatively unknown album called Megatech Body. I mean it was a straight steal, not even just a variation..
    I understand the makers desire to showcase the weapon models they worked on, but removing repair is a ****ty way of doing that.. They could just increase the loot count and make every weapon model useful in a way.

    All in all there' some value in the game, but it would need another half a year or more to fix the bugs, another year to properly make this a PS5 title. In this state I'd not recommend it to anyone except fanatics of the first game.. I'd not recommend it mostly because the Publishers and the Developers were confident to release the game in its current sorry state. I mean none of the cutscenes are working in your MAIN STORY!! How the hell is THAT slipping through QR?    … Expand

    I wish games were released in a presentable condition these days.

    This is another botched release, akin to Cyberpunk 2077 and Battlefield 2042.

    Unless you want to throw even more money at them, make sure you don't get the special or deluxe edition. You can't redeem the in-game items that come with it.

    Great game. Parkour is significantly more fun than in the first game and the voice acting for some of the characters, particularly the first baddie, is fantastic.

    If you enjoyed Dl1 then you'll love this game and it's only going to improve as it goes.

    Literally only came here because of some of the reviews I have seen. The game is great. I am a fairly picky gamer. I have played so soo many games it's not even funny. I have played boring games and games that get stale like Assassins creed, or far cryThis game is not far cry, it's a dope game. Buy it.

    People need to stop giving DL2 a 0 because there’s no Italian. It seems to me that they can understand and speak English just fine but here’s my review. I love this game, the parkour is fun, the story is very interesting. I’m not very far into the game but there are a few bugs but that’s fine because none of them are game breaking.

    The game is very good, but the fact that I can't play with my friends on ps4 ruined the experience. I'm playing alone because all my friends are on ps4 and only me on ps5. And downloading the ps4 version, the save is not shared between generations!

    What can I say about this game? Actually, I liked the game in terms of gameplay and its game mechanics. As for the plot, I can not say much, because the game did not go to the end.

    Optimization in this game, very even nothing. I don’t have very good hardware, it’s a little higher than the minimum, but it plays at stable 60 frames, but in the city there were drawdowns up to 40, but this can be pushed to my PC. There are enough bugs in the game, but it can be forgiven, because the game itself was released a couple of days ago (in the same cyberpunk it was much worse), I think there will be much less of them in the near future.
    And if you go with friends, it will become much more interesting and more fun. If you liked the first part, definitely take the second.    … Expand

    Dying Light 2 é claramente uma evolução do 1 tanto em fluidez de parku combate com zumbis e humanos e dinâmica na customização de personagem e modificação de armas mas, como em qualquer jogo tem seus problemas técnicos como textura, física etc. Contudo creio que em breve vai melhorar nesse quesito já que a desenvolvedora prometeu suporte durante anos nesse jogo.

    So, we finally know why there were so many delays: Techland needed more time to downgrade it all to PS4 standards. It's evident from the get-go that this game was not designed, not optimized, for PS5. It's not as broken as Cyberpunk was at its launch, but that's not saying much. I guess we just have to accept this sorry state as the new normal of game business.

    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.
