    It is really fun to smash some zombies. I really liked the story. I didn't saw manny bugs.

    Loved this game. The story was well thought out and always kept you guessing. But the gameplay was awesome. With plenty of content. In 70 hrs in and still have a lot to do

    - mission design overall never felt that repetitive
    - Tons of content

    So- So:
    - Weird progression, but decent overall story.
    - RPG elements like loot and skill tree, kind of underwhelming and eerily similar, and not worth it to stress over that much.
    - Combat felt copy and pasted from original game, shame techland did not feel the need to focus in an area which could have benefited the game greatly. It is ok.

    Cons: Maybe it is just me but that ending felt like a gut punch, made me feel empty.

    Overall, very enjoyable game with great traversal system and a lot of enjoyable content with great level design. Few things hold the game back, but this is a easy recommend,

    It's not without its faults. Running feels slower but not necessarily in a bad way. It is annoying that you can't repair your weapons when they break but the weapons feel like they last just as long as they did in the first game.

    It's a great sequel to one of my favorite games ever. It improved upon almost every aspect, especially parkour and combat. The City is a great map and it's really fun to run around it. Graphically was a bit of a dissapointment though.

    Fix for co-op and quest stuck bug.

    For this game to work right you have to have less than 300 total psn friends. Once you delete enough psn friends to be under 300 total, co-op starts working and quests will finally progress.
    This fix is confirmed to work for PlayStation.

    Other than the bugs the game is solid and fun with friends

The story isn’t anything too grand or anything too memorable but the certain characters like lawman and Harlan are well done. I don’t believe choices really matter all that much. Especially to the point that they made it seem like they advertised early on. But pure gameplay and playing through the game is fun. Fast travel unlocks after a certain point but isn’t in the first half and honestly it kind of makes it more enjoyable. I think it’s worth playing. Best first person parkour game around hands down.… Expand

    I don’t want to be too critical of this game. I ended up liking it a lot. At first though, it was a bit slow. You didn’t get to the city for a while.

I ended up going with mainly the peacekeepers. You had to climb A LOT of buildings going with them! I don’t know if it was the same with the other choices. The combat was OK, and the enemies weren’t too bad- except the last boss. I had a pretty good ending on my run through. I spent nearly 32 hours with the game without doing any side quests. Overall, I recommend the game and I can see myself playing it again maybe in another year or so. I’d give it an 9/10 or 4/5. I don't know why this game is getting all the hate.… Expand

    If you liked the first dying light then you should love this. This has a more RPG feel than the first game. The choices you make do effect the world and environment. Story is solid and graphics are good. loads of places to explore. You could spend hours just looting buildings. A must have for any action RPG fan.

Sinto que o jogo ainda precisa ser otimizado mas até com esses problemas ainda a experiência do jogo na minha opinião está ótima.

Вы будете слышать буквально каждый скрип, каждый рык и каждый шелест. Паркур, тут даже говорить нечего, он отличный. Из минусов:
    Главный сюжет в игре высосан из пальца на фоне первой части, хотяя это трудно назвать минусом, так как по сюжету я не однократно ловил себя на мысли, что я не ожидал того или иного поворота. Для кого-то это минус, ноне для меня. Теперь почти половина активностей приходится на ночные вылазки. Игра вас будет буквально вынуждать играть ночью нравиться вам это или нет. Первая ночь в игре, да это минус. Первая часть задала планку на хоррор. Первая ночь в первой части заставила многих людей попотеть и испугаться. Во второй части ПЕРВАЯ ночь вызвала лишь разочарование. Игру я крайне рекомендую

    A true successor. If you want to know what the game is like, rather than read about how it doesn't have Italian or isn't the picture of perfection, than this is the review for you.

    This game expands literally every aspect of the previous game from parkour, to combat to stealth and even story. The parkour has been totally overhauled, some moves have been kept but even better ones have been    A true successor. If you want to know what the game is like, rather than read about how it doesn't have Italian or isn't the picture of perfection, than this is the review for you.

    This game expands literally every aspect of the previous game from parkour, to combat to stealth and even story. The parkour has been totally overhauled, some moves have been kept but even better ones have been added. You can run on walls, chain moves easier, jump huge gaps, it feels incredible.

    Combat has seen the addition of blocking, some parkour/fighting moves such as vault kicks and a new more RPG weapons system which doesn't allow for as much creativity as the first game, but it also forces you to use more than just one weapon as you can't just craft another of the same thing.

    Stealth is probably the weakest area of the game but it can be important and is reasonably well done. You have your basic stealth system with tables and tall grass to hide in, but the AI is not stupid and will see you pretty easily, so it's somewhat challenging to be quiet. Maybe you like that challenge, it's not my favorite but it is what it is.

    The story is honestly pretty fantastic. I hear a lot of people aren't into it but I genuinely don't understand why. The choices you make certainly feel pretty important to me, and there are some high stakes moments for sure. I would have to play through again to know how much choices matter but they seem pretty important so far. Aside from that I'm always itching to get to the next story mission, and have to force myself into side quests.

    I say that like it's a bad thing, but the side quests are as good as the story if not better. They have cutscenes of the same quality as the campaign, and often tie into the main quests and in some cases can influence them, which is really interesting. Mostly though they are simple, find someone who is looking for someone else, deliver a weird package for a guy, beat the crap out of zombies with a bat that sends them to the moon, etc. There's a great variety here.

    Finally, the biggest thing this game has added is the loot and crafting system. Techla d clearly wanted to make this game an RPG and they delivered. Now blueprints seem to be a bit harder to get, and once you get them they all suck. But you can upgrade them several times, with craftmasters. You could make upgrading certain tools or mods you use a lot your priority, or try to diversify. Whatever you wish, you will have to hunt special zombies like goons and bolters and others for their trophies. Subsequent upgrades are more expensive and require increasingly more rare parts. Ultimately this is about as good of a game as you will find, and it's really something special. A few bad apples are hung up on performance on PC or language options. It's 2022 after all, you need to find something to complain about or you aren't relevant apparently. Absolutely recommend and hope you found the review helpful!    … 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.
