    Playing this on PC with a 3080 and the game runs flawlessly. Everything maxed out I get 110 fps. The game is a lot of fun. Graphics are great, characters are interesting, and the missions are fun!

    Incredible game. 3 days in not a single bug, perfect performance, 4k 30fps as stable as a whistle on my ps5, as a fan of the original this is just such an upgrade. Highly recommended.

    I have only made it to just after getting the binoculars and so far but I am quite impressed with the size and vibrance of the world this time around. The RayTracing and DLSS seem to be well implemented as far as I can tell as it runs great on my 3060Ti at 1440p Ultra RT, DLSS balanced.

    I'm not really playing for the story, so I'm not expecting anything to blow me away on that front. The story is just there to give some substance and meaning to the zombie bashing. If I wanted story id play a story driven title. But so far the story during the part's I've played has got my attention, I like the characters I've come across so far as well. Don't believe in perfect scores but the game definitely is a 8/10 at the very minimum. Needs a wee bit more polish but Techland definitely has another great title on its hands here that's ready to carry on the torch for the next few years.

    Was waiting on this sequel since I loved the first one which seemed to come out of nowhere last console generation. Definitely a hidden gem.

    Dying Light 2 is much of the same I came to love in the first game but now is greatly expanded upon. Gameplay is just as addicting, and parkouring through the city feels better than ever. Suffers some of the usual open world game design fatigue

Suffers some of the usual open world game design fatigue like many other open world games, however I’ve been playing since release for hours at a time and been having a blast exploring this new playground.

    Sorry to see there is now PVP in this one, (took a point off for that) but hopefully that’s coming in a future update. Game looks great on PS5, in performance mode (60 FPS).

    Have yet to come across any bugs that I can tell, nor anything that has stopped my progression in game.

    9/10 would pay full price again!!

    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.

    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.
    The duration of Dying light 2 itself: in 20 hours I couldn’t even play 50% of the game.
    As for the graphics, I can’t say anything, because I played at the minimum, I don’t know how things are at higher

    As for the graphics, I can’t say anything, because I played at the minimum, I don’t know how things are at higher settings.
    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.

    This game is breathtakingly beautiful, the sound design evokes emotion as you play the game. You can get lost in this world, in it's beauty in the interesting characters. Holy mackerel the story telling got leveled up a ton between DL1 and this game. I feel like the storys are a little "less hokey" then in the first game. The factions give an interesting dynamic.

    Love the game. Some bugs here and there but nothing as bad as the way the Italians are acting. Which is funny because 99% of their reviews are in English. Get over it you self obsessed Gabba ghouls. I honestly was going to give it an 8 but the whiners made me increase my score.

    Dying Light 2: Stay Human brings all of the basics from the original Dying Light; however, it makes it all better and more fluid. Despite very minor bugs, my play through was very smooth and the only bug I experienced was an audio issue.

Despite very minor bugs, my play through was very smooth and the only bug I experienced was an audio issue. The color palette and graphics quality brings a new and refreshing environment to the zombie apocalypse. Who ever said that zombie apocalypses looked like nothing but gloom and doom? Combat is more fun and refined with the new blocking and parrying system in addition to being able to mix parkour into combat as well. Stringing attacks together from one opponent to the next makes it fluid but also addicting despite the combat being sort of redundant at times. Parkour is more realistic in terms of movement / fluidity but also insanely fun as you develop new skills and encounter new obstacles throughout the game. Customization and weapon modding has improved with more personalized options of customization for Aiden and his weapons. This is a spoiler free review so I will be very cut and dry with my content review in terms of THE MAIN STORY. The story is a rollercoaster depending on the choices you make. I wish Aiden developed more as a character throughout; however, you will enjoy seeing surrounding characters develop depending on your choices with who you help. Overall, I am pleased with this game. It is immersive and all around a fun experience. With minimal bugs that aren’t detrimental to the entire game, I still enjoyed my experience from beginning to the end of the main story quests. Do not let some reviews turn you away. This is all a matter of opinion including my own but this is something you should experience yourself. Expand

    This game plays and looks AWESOME. Parkour is smooth and freedom of movement amazes me. It's a pleasure to watch the city and run through it. Personally I love all the small details that were prepared with care, random encounters. This game has also a HUUUGE amount of easter eggs and references to everything.

    Great improvement of ideas from previous game, interesting enough story. If you like the first game - you definitely need this one. Yes of course it is not a next gen, not close, but the impact and feel of movement and impact in fights will give you wonderful emotions.

    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.
