    Not a very interesting game with repetative quests, unfulfilling endings, and alright gameplay.

    Очень неуместная и сопливая драма, которая заставляет тебя не плакать, а смеяться над тем, насколько глупо, что смерть едва знакомого персонажа сопровождается грустной музыкой и страданиями главного героя. В первой части это было сделано лучше, адекватнее.
    Главный герой - просто набор фраз и странных решений с очень смешным голосом в русском дубляже. Диалоги - главный пьедестал позора этой игры. Как пример, двое мужиков приходят к механику с претензией о поломке брони. Он им отвечает, что он сделал броню из титана чтобы она была прочной и лёгкой и что она не могла сломаться. Те двое ушли довольные с фразой, мол, ладно, проверим. Если вы ничего не поняли, не переживайте, я тоже, потому что все диалоги этой игры построены именно так, а именно очень глупо.
    Сюжет вообще ни о чём, квесты скучные, а финальный босс это какие-то аниме бои.
    Если хотите попрыгать по красивому городу - покупайте. Для других целей эта игра не годится..    … Expand

Techland хотели превзойти первую часть и создать что-то инновационное или же как минимум не хуже первой части. Но есть всегда «но» и в их случаи это большое но. Сюжет пытается создать интригу но только разочаровываешься в предсказуемости сюжета. Интерес к сюжету терпеться с самого начала игры. Играя ты понимаешь кто главный враг, кто отец, где сестра и кто предатель. Даже персонажей не удалось сделать запоминающимися. Только Hakon интересен и то это ностальгия по старым временам. Остальные же второстепенные персонажи не вызывают к себе никакой интерес. С геймплейной точки, игра не может предоставить ничего, что могло бы завлечь игрока. Все те же аванпосты, минимальное количество побочных интересных заданий и провальные ночные задания. В первой части ночь была самым атмосферной и пугаещий частью игры. В DL2 мы имеем быстрые побегушки от точки к точки,лишь бы хоть что-то увидеть. Баги это стандарт для AAA-проектов. Если не одного не встретили значит вы везунчик. Вернёмся к концовкам игры. Фееричный провал и не более. Сделать несколько концовок и все походы как одна, это надо уметь. Все эти проблемы в совокупности заставляют пропустить эту игру,даже фаната первой части. Процесс прокачки и нулевая стамина на начале игры поражает. Активности по карте тоже не имеют ценности (принеси и унеси).… Expand

    I must say i like the first game more but its really not that bad. For all the Italian gamers you guys should be happy that the voice is missing I am an Austrian and i want the option switching language so bad. The voice acting in german is so bad i have never seen something like that i am not kidding. It ruins the game.
    Update: Dying light points are now in the game.

    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.

Not only there was parkour, the story also was interesting (primarily cuz the virus didnt leave Haram. We kept seeing the worlds efforts to fight an apocalyptic virus, leaving innocent people to die so they wouldnt spread the virus. Kinda like 28 weeks later.). For be the biggest deal about dying light 1 was the ragdoll physics. Gta, red dead redemption AND dying light 1 are the only games where i can say the ragdolls feel almost perfect. You hit a zombie in the jaw and you would see his head moving the opposite way with a higher velocity than the rest of the body, thus resulting on the zombie falling on the ground. That was not an pre-defined animation, but a exporadic reaction caused by the hit of my weapon (ofc due to the engine). The weapons had weight and punch to them and the zombies reaction to hits was one of the biggest parts of the game for me.
    Fast forward to 2022 and the game has the generic "zombie virus destroyed the whole civilization" type of plot, parkour looks off (improved, but the feeling isnt quite there) and dont get me started on animations. Ragdolls are non existant for weapon hits. You wont hit a zombie in the face and cause him to fall and try to get up. He'll simply stand there getting hit until the lifebar is fully drained **** off). The dropkick is so strong it looks like the hulk just drop-kicked the zombie.
    In general, the game feels, looks, smells and tastes like dead island 3 and does not import one single great thing of what made Dying Light 1 so immersive and grounded. best comparison would be Ghost Recond Wildlands and Ghost Recon Breakpoint (not pay to win. Just the general vibe shift from one to another)    … Expand

    Was looking forward to this game like crazy, but it's been a disappointment in every way.

    Graphics are awful on Xbox series x. You either pick 60 FPS but the game looks like **** or 4K and it runs at 20-30 fps (which as a FPS, feels awful). There are tons of bugs. The zombies have horrible animations, and so do the humans when you fight them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dying Light 2 is the best game to come out in a very long time, however, the story was up there with one of the worst I've ever experienced in gaming. The exploration and overall content in DL2 is incredible, there is vast amounts to explore, loot, and kill. This is why the game really gets a good rating from me, I'm all about open-world exploration, paving my own way, and discovering things for myself.

    Although it may appear I'm being rather generous with a 7/10, the exploration of the city had me constantly coming home from work and switching on my PS5 to experience more. Despite all the positives, the largest and personally the only real glaring issue with the game is the main storyline, which the only thing going for it was the likable/dislikable characters that kept you constantly having to judge whether they were going to betray you or stick with you.

    The story constantly introduced new concepts/situations but never expands on them, even after the epilogue. Take Waltz, for example, you finally encounter him in the car factory, in which he turns into some odd type of infected with incredible abilities and chases you BUT the back story of how Waltz and Aiden have these abilities are never explained. This similar issue appears with the "Butcher", you hear about him constantly and how big and bad he is, yet when you meet him he's actually pretty nice, you can side with him and he sends you on his way, in which you then never see him again, which amasses a total 5 minutes.

    The final boss fight has also taken the throne for being one of the worst I have ever experienced. Cutscene, fight, cutscene, fight, cutscene, fight, cutscene, fight. An incredibly unrewarding and shallow fight, in which Waltz simply stood there and sponged hits, occasionally attacking you with 1 of 3 different styles.

    The ultimate complaint from myself, however, has to be Aiden passing out every 20 seconds, I understand that it was supposed to be due to his infection, but it just felt like lazy writing. Almost every cutscene he would either be punched or simply pass out, for him to then conveniently teleport to the next sequence. Instead of adapting in scenarios where Aiden hauls himself out of a dangerous situation, he would simply pass out and appear exactly where the story needed him to be, it was incredibly boring and honestly painful to play along later in the game. In the final epilogue, I couldn't help myself but count how many times he passed out... 8 times!

    Other more personal issues for me included the ridiculously long prologue, seriously two-hour prologues are just ridiculous. DL1 threw you right in the deep end, whereas slowly walking through the mountains felt a lot more like I was having my handheld being slowly drip-fed into the game.    … Expand

    There are some toppings that should be cooked first before topping a pizza because they won’t cook fully in the oven during the pizza's cooking time. Any raw meat should be fully cooked before adding it as a topping. Also, any vegetables that you don’t want to be raw on the cooked pizza such as onions, peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms should be sautéed first. ++++For non italian dubbing

    Stealth kill mechanic - After 'stealth' killing an enemy, you're very likely to be discovered by other enemies so what's the point?

    Combat - Zombies will dive at you without warning (most of the time from behind their allies) and you'll be knocked down on the ground. Off-screen random enemies which spawn out of thin air. Good luck trying to access military vehicles as the zombies keep coming at you while you attempt to lock pick the vehicle.

    Unnecessary respawns: Bandits in bandit camp respawn without warning. Howlers at night respawn almost immediately when you take them down with a ranged weapon.

    Illusion of choice: Besides a few crucial decisions (less than 10 in game), most of the story quests are unaffected by your dialogue choices.

    Every choice is a "bad" choice - Any option you select will result in the opposing person cussing at your or even worse, gets his/her entire camp destroyed by the team you support. The game goes out of the way to remind you that all your choices are bad.

    Tonnes of bugs: I had anomalies going missing mid battle while it's still night time, Howlers frozen in place and won't die, completed side quests which are not marked as completed on the map.

    Unrewarding battles: After fighting waves of zombies, you pretty much loot common material and even worse, sometimes no materials at all. You will get hit from off-screen enemies a lot as well.

    My playthrough has been one of the worse experiences from an 'AAA' title. I don't feel motivate to play this horrible game but I've already spent USD 60+ to get it so I'll just complete the story and then uninstall. Really a horrible experience.    … 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.
