    No clue how or why this game is being review bombed. It's got 5 years of scheduled content and the gameplay is some of the most satisfying in all of video games. I do agree the story and characters could use some work but in every aspect this game improves upon an already great experience in dying light and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

    game is ok but deserves a 6 at most...
    score can't be trusted since people are rating it 10/10 or 0/10 just because it has no Italian dubbing.
    Metacritic has become a joke.

    Story so far not as good than DL1 but parkour and hitting zombies is very good.

    It's a solid experience that suffers from gamebreaking bugs and unfocused story telling in the main plot line. Dont get me wrong, this would easily be a 7/10 or even 8/10 if the game would bot have these major problems.

    The Open World is more detailed, with a more profound difference between the Day and Night and a wide variety of Looting, Questing and Combat Opportunities.

    But Techland didn't just stop there. Along with every aspect of Dying Light 1 being improved upon, Techland have also added a plethora of new Mechanics to Dying Light 2, including new Enemy Types,
    a new Faction System, a new Infection System and a choice-based Story that is actually interesting.

    Overall, and I wouldn't usually do this, I have to award Dying Light 2 a perfect 10/10 Score. As the Sequel to one of my all time favourite Video Games, Dying Light 2 improves upon the original in every single way and as a result absolutely deserves my recommendation to anyone who loved the Original.

    Game has some bugs but overall I found it very enjoyable on the ps5 version, However the devs did a poor job in optimization and the game should run way better than its running now, story wise it’s really engaging, if you enjoyed dying light 1 you’ll enjoy this one,

    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.

    This is a review of my single player mode experience. I beat the main story after ~25 hours and completed around half of the side quests and activities.

I beat the main story after ~25 hours and completed around half of the side quests and activities.

    As a big fan of the first, (and gamer for nearly 20 years) I really wanted to love this game. Unfortunately, while not a "terrible" game as some reviews seem to suggest, there are enough disappointments that ruined the overall experience for me. I'll break it down into the main aspects:

    Combat: While it flows smoothly and hit boxes seem accurate enough, it feels much more "cartoonish" and controlled than the first game and it lacks that same realistic grittiness from its predecessor. There are large health bars above enemy heads which makes it feel more like an arcade game than a realistic and immersive experience. For example: you whack an enemy in the head and rather than falling limply to the ground with a half-open scalp, he goes flying and spinning ten feet backwards in a ridiculous fashion. There are no guns in this game. Also, enemy levels and health scale with you as you progress, making weapon damage feel pointless. I never felt like I was actually doing more damage to enemies with a 120 dmg weapon vs a 60 dmg one.

    Nighttime: Nighttime is totally different. No more " sneak past the Volatiles roaming the streets, get spotted, and run frantically towards the safe house". Now it's "avoid the howlers planted every twenty meters" and eventually "fly over everything with the paraglider" Night chases are not as fun as in the first, nor as intense/frightening.

    Crafting: You can't craft weapons in this game. You can craft and stack various elements modifications and other items but can't make weapons or armor from scratch. You can't modify armor in any way. Only true "healing" item that can be crafted is your basic bandage, which takes about 4 seconds to use (wrapping animation, can't use weapons or run) I found this annoying in combat. Overall crafting was a letdown.

    Map: Bigger than the main game in DL1; no buggies/open driving like in "The Following" DLC. Broken into two parts: the first part is similar to the second area of Harran from DL1 (smaller buildings, more open areas), while the second map has many large budlings and skyscrapers.

    Parkour: The best part of the game by far. Movement is fluid, and traversing the city become easy and fun later on, especially when you upgrade the respective perks, like sliding, wall running, etc. (spoiler-ish) You get a paraglider and grappling hook at certain points in the story. The only real downside is that you can't run as fast as i would have hoped, at least not until you get a perk later on.

    Story: I wouldn't call it "horrible", but definitely not good, not as interesting as the first game in my opinion. The first few hours had me interested enough, but things just seemed to take on a life of their own too quickly after that. The pacing feels "off". Sometimes i struggled to keep up with what was going on and other times i had to think back "why are we doing this again?" There are choices that effect the ending, but i found it hard to really care about any of the characters, since the game never sticks you with the same one long enough for you to get a true feel for them. There are many classic cliches as well, and many times where i found myself waiting for the inevitable "floor creaks and of course you fall through into zombie-infested room" sort of thing. Not "bad" per-se, just very tired and expected plot elements. Also, Aiden (your character) is kind of a little b**ch sometimes. I wish they made him more of a "badass", like a hardened zombie killer by the end of the game, or at least gave you the option of whether to freak about certain things. Like, this guy has been alone on the road for four years fighting off God-knows how many infected: why is he freaking out over four bumbling corpses coming at him?". Side quests aren't really anything special. After the first dozen-or-so I felt no drive to complete them other than the experience points.

    Voice acting: Not terrible, but sometimes annoying. Some of the accents (American South, for instance) are just awful. Like, "when did we go from the middle east, to France, to Ireland, to some hillbilly backwoods in Georgia?" sort of thing. I found myself skipping through much of the dialogue just to get to the damn point. Facial animations are barely there: none of the characters felt "real" to me.

    Music: Intro is definitely not as bangin' as the first game's, nothing else really stuck out. No more darkwave/synth wave, industrial stuff like in the first. In fact, i can't even remember any of the music, which tells me it wasn't that good.

    Other annoyances: Aiden getting knocked down in every other cutscene by some generic a$$hat with a crowbar in the corner, because he didn't check behind the door (again).

    Overall: 6/10. Maybe wait for a sal    … 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.

    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.
