    Great game. Bravo Techland. I hope Italy (that is of course far more important country than Poland with beautiful people) could also play it someday.

    The game is just bad, i don't know why it feel like a downgrade from the first game. In the first game the sound and the movement is so much better, the story in both games are bad but in the DL2 is so much worse. and the hitbox it is like from a joke game from facebook.

    Please wait some time to buy it on a sale.

Deathloop bug and corrupted save are a big problem. Only one save slot. I will never buy another game from Techland.… Expand

    I was thinking that the game is a solid 9 because of the open world, a good story and fun gameplay. But after I realised that the game has no Italian dubbing i instantly raised my rating to a 10.

    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.

    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

    Is the game fun? Kind of? As long as you can make fun of it and just follow quests WITH A FRIEND. By yourself? Go play Days Gone or almost any other BETTER open world and/or zombie game.

    I also do NOT understand why devs feel the need to add the work f**k into every sentence either. Good writing requires a bigger dictionary.    … 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. It seemed like there were a lot of fetch quests- and I mean A LOT! But the story got better as the game went on. You also got more interesting items like the paraglider and the grappling hook. I ended up going with mainly the peacekeepers.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.

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

    Some of my points: - 1080p 60 fps on PS5 is unacceptable. The game looks prevgen if it was on low settings. Shadows, textures look very unappealing, in-game themes look way too colourful, oversaturated. Compared to other games like TLOU2 this look very bad.

Compared to other games like TLOU2 this look very bad. The visual presentations in last year’s trailers were a lie!
    - I have encountered many bugs during gameplay (spawning, performance issues, some crashes etc.)
    - The campaign has a very promising start, story feels interesting. Later, especially at the end and it turns out to be very silly. Almost like a Brazilian soap opera.
    - There are many stupid cut scenes in which other opponents appear out of nowhere and you lose your advantages.
    - NPC-s are unable to follow you on mission, after a cutscene they teleport to next meeting location, where they need to teleport again.
    - RPG elements are mediocre.
    - There aren't many infected on the streets, which is awkward.
    - DL1 felt so much better.
    - Side missions are boring.
    - Stealth elements are meh.

    Overall, I feel let down, as I was very hyped to play it.

    My final verdict is that I cannot recommend it on full price, this game need 12 months’ worth of patch and a great discount.    … Expand

    I'm about 16 hours in and the game is pretty good, I'm sure it can become exceptional with some more support. I haven't seen any serious bugs nor there are any crashes. Sure, there are some glitches and things to fix and improve, but noting really major.
    I'm disappointed that this parasite Denuvo was included last minute, I hate the fact that even a cent of my money went into their account.

    I hesistated a lot to buy this game but gave it a try. With the latest patch it is for the most part playable. I was glad that I didnt encounter game breaking bugs, e.g. death loop and others but I have to admit that there are still lots of bugs in the game. Texture glitches, missing parcour grabs, trigger not activating, treasure you need to open on a special angle and more.

    I also feel the game engine is not the best. 1080p60 in performance mode runs mostly flawless but honestly the game looks bad in comparison to early trailers and for that it performs not well enough. The story writing is pretty bland and after a while you feel like re-visiting the same places over and over again making it a slightly run down experience. Enemy variety is pretty poor, same goes to the equipment variety. At least the weapons are somewhat satisfying.

    The game lacks a lot quality of life improvements, e.g. remember the filters I set in the inventory because I dont want to set it for the 100th time, why do I need to switch on my light over and over again etc. Bragging with 500hrs of playtime was honestly a silly move to because it is one of the few modern the game where: you cant max stats no matter how long you play, you get locked out of collectibles which you cannot re-visit after the game ends and there are also some trophies that are plain stupid, e.g. millionaire or running 960km.

    In general the combat and gore was satisfying. I did like some of the characters and the weapons pulled my score up but after all you should wait and buy the game at a sale of at least 50%. For germans that might consider buying the cut version - dont do it, get the uncut disc version because honestly the bloody part is one of the essentials and you will miss out big time.    … Expand

    Okay, this game is absolutely NOT as bad as the people claim here. Is it as good or better than Dying Light 1? The answer is NO! It is NOT as good, let alone better, but it doesn't mean this is a bad game.

The level choice is    Okay, this game is absolutely NOT as bad as the people claim here. Is it as good or better than Dying Light 1? The answer is NO!

    The parkour, fights are evolved, maybe even too much, but they are great and in their place.

    The story is mediocre at best, nothing interesting whatsoever.

    The level choice is really bad, every part of the city looks exactly the same. "Realism" shouldn't be placed before game experience.

    Game mechanism is weak, nothing evolved besides fights and parkour, and even part of the zombie / fight physics are downgraded for reasons beyond comprehension. There are rumours circulating about key staff leaving due to whatever reasons, and I'm absolutely sure that this was the main problem of why it failed to achieve the glory of DL1, let alone to evolve beyond it.

    You'd expect vehicles, base building, travelling in a huge map to different cities, towns, resource management, missions with companions you select, etc., and at least as much genius storytelling as in DL1 (side mission included), but no, nothing sort of that, a huge part of the game is pretty much sank into mediocrity, despite the fact that there is already a brutally good game set as an example you just have to follow (DL1)...

    To think about the money those developers got who don't even like the game at all... Such a waste.

    HOWEVER, this doesn't mean that this is a particularly bad game and that you won't enjoy it. You will. This game still good and still rocks, and the best news is that there is a modding community which pretty much fixed every gameplay / game mechanics flaws, for free (think about the game developers again). Years of years of development, tons of wasted money, only to see your utter idiocy (bad physics, weak, few zeds, etc.) getting fixed in a couple of weeks by modders for free...

    There are 2 things I can't forgive to this game: it is NOT scary anymore. Do you remember yourself screaming during night missions in DL1? Well, here you won't...

    The second part is the music. I was so excited to get something like in DL1 (which I listening even to this day), that I was almost more excited for the music than for the game, but what we got is next to nothing. Most of the less popular youtubers could have done a better job for free... Man, these guys...

    I don't know what is with all these game developers (and also movie makers) nowadays but they clearly NOT worthy of their money, they just ripping off the company they working for.

    Bud just buy the game, install the mods, and you will gonna have a decent experience. Epic zed battles await you which will never get old.

    Oh, and those complaining about graphics and performance, you guys should really stop using cracked games, quit watching porn, and run an anti-malware software. You ALL gonna be surprised.    … 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.
