    Игра мне очень понравилась. С сюжетом есть проблемы, но сюжет вывозит геймплей. Паркур здесь еще лучше чем в 1 части так же и с боевкой, она стала тоже лучше.

    The game is simply brilliant. There are only slight drawbacks in game mechanics, but overall it has a good story, great graphics and a huge amount of content. Definetely worth a buy. The review - bombers rating it 0 should be ashamed of themselves. Denouncing great games simply creates more trash.

    Techland delivered. Better parkour, better melee combat, the evolution of the grappling hook is extremely appreciated, the paraglider addition is game-changing in the best way. The verticality of the map, the size of the map, the dense foliage and vibrant colors of the rooftops compared to the desolate, dark sidewalks and roads on-ground.

    Did the marketing team oversell? I think so. I think people were expecting a Bethesda RPG in terms of consequences and actions...I can tell you it's not. BUT, it's not far off. You will make decisions that DRASTICALLY impact your playthrough. What's even better is that every side quest is substantial and carries weight. Some even impact your main story!

    This is the sequel to DL1 I wanted in every way.

    Amazing game it’s so much fun to play the only reason it’s not a 10 is because Co-Op is a bit buggy

    Good: gameplay, side quests, multiplayer, multiplot story, cool sandbox, cool mechanics, and cool parkour (the best part of the game, every time you go to any mark, you're thinking how to get there, which way you can go faster and more handsome).
    Bad: bugs (a lot of, especially at story quests), no Italian (but it's pardonably), not that good story.

    The game on Ps5 looks like beatifull. Parkour is the best parkour of all of games.
    A tak wogule to co Włochom przeszkadza brak dubbingu przecież w żadnej włoskiej grze nie ma napisów... a zapomniałem nie ma włoskich gier. To jest raczej oczywiste że w Polskiej grze będzie Polski dubbing a we np. niemieckiej Niemiecki , to jest raczej oczywiste a powoływanie się Włochów na argumenty o tym

A masowy reviev bombing to nie tyle co głupota a po prostu idiotyzm , moim zdaniem żadna gra nie powinna być oceniana po tym że nie ma w nie jakiegoś dubbing według mnie gry powinno się oceniać na podstawie doświadczeń a nie tego że nie ma dubbingu. Poza tym włoskie napisy są więc o co ten kłopot. Większość gier wydawanych na świecie nie ma nawet Polskich napisów a Włosi się przyczepiają że nie ma dubbingu w POLSKIEJ grze. Jeśli jednak chodzie o samą grę jest ona bardzo dobra ale fabuła jest średnia ale parkour to po prostu złoto trochę lepszy niż w jedynce (w jedynce był zarombisty) więc solidne 8,5/10.

    This game is visually amazing and it has some of the best parkour I've seen in a game. Even though others have been having troubles with bugs, I haven't encountered a single bug. Additionally the combat is fun and enjoyable.

    First of all: No game deserves a 0-1/10 or 10/10 in my opinion. I love zombie games to death since I played the first RE game on the PSX, and still would not give this game a 10.

    First of all: No game deserves a 0-1/10 or 10/10 in my opinion. I love zombie games to death since I played the first RE game on the PSX, and still would not give this game a 10.

    With that out of the way, the review in 5 parts:
    - Graphics 6/10: Sure, it's no the last of Us levels of detail, but seeing as this is a open-world sandbox game I can understand why they went that route. Could be more, but the gameplay might forced the design here.
    - Story 7/10: It's cliched, but not bad. It is not completely obvious what's happening, you get a few moments of "show, don't tell" and the story makes at least to effort to portray both factions as grey, instead of good or bad. Also, the two faction route they put in place at least adds replay-value, as do the choices to a limited regard.
    - Characters 7/10: While I can admit that they sometimes are written a bit "dumb", and making your character the center of attention by acting helpless to get you involved is a tad to much, overall the characters are likeable and understandable enough in their actions that you can get behind them without suspending disbelief. Most of the bunch are capable to be mean arses in one cutscene, and later on bring out a dump one-liner that makes you crack a smile. Your character, Aiden, kinda reflects that as well: You can play him as a focused loner or a genuine social and caring guy, and both get presented believable enough to stick with me. Also, another plus: There are not many "pure bad guys" in the story - most of them act for a reason, and you can understand and feel bad for them in the story - even choosing how to react to them doing what they do. Techland at least didn't go down the "we tell you what to think about X"- route, and I am grateful for that.
    World design 9/10: This a good open world in my opinion. There are tidbits of survivor stories to be found everywhere, there is something interesting to at nearly every corner, and most of what you see would make sense in a zombie infested world. Villedor looks beautiful and makes climbing the rooftops enjoyable to play and see.
    Gameplay 10/10: This is hit or miss for most people, but damn I need to play favourites here; It's broken physics, but traversing the rooftops makes fun, and screwing with enemies with broken tools and weapons makes fun. This is clearly the main focus I got the game for this time around and it does not disappoint. It makes fun to play with a friend and have a laugh about ragdolling enemies from roofs, into spikes or water, grapple them around, watch em explode, etc. Even most of the bugs will likely "only" kill you in a ridiculous manner that makes you have a laughing fit rather than making you angry. Overall, the game is a blast by not taking itself too seriously.

    Overall, the game would come out as a 7.8.

    I gonna add one more score-point for replay-ability and to since there are way to much 0/10 ratings going around (mostly because of localisation issues), so feel free to read this a 8/10, if you choose.

    Eine Enttäuschung aber auch eine "Offenbarung" in gleichem Maße.
    Zuerst das "schlechte", wobei ich anmerken möchte, dass ich nichts wirklich Schlecht finde, sondern diese Punkte eher unter die Rubrik "das hätte besser laufen können" fallen.
    Der größte Faktor ist hier natürlich die Story. Diese kann man sich durchaus geben und hat auch nette Wendungen, wird aber an bestimmten Punkten sehr
    Eine Enttäuschung aber auch eine "Offenbarung" in gleichem Maße.
    Zuerst das "schlechte", wobei ich anmerken möchte, dass ich nichts wirklich Schlecht finde, sondern diese Punkte eher unter die Rubrik "das hätte besser laufen können" fallen.
    Der größte Faktor ist hier natürlich die Story. Diese kann man sich durchaus geben und hat auch nette Wendungen, wird aber an bestimmten Punkten sehr durchschaubar. Außerdem wurden Auswirkungen beworben, die nur zum Teil vorkommen. Es gibt verschiedene Enden, die Entscheidungen die sich wirklich aufs Ende auswirken sind aber alle samt im letzten Drittel. Die Veränderungen in der Welt, die durch das zuweisen gewisser Gebäude getriggert werden, sind größtenteils vernachlässigbar. Lediglich eine Freischaltung (Freischaltung 4 bei den PKs) hat einen wirklichen Mehrwert für das Gameplay. Hier gilt grundsätzlich: Die Peacekeeper geben Fallen und Waffen und die Survivor bieten mehr Parkour Möglichkeiten. Zu den Enden noch eine Sache. Eine Entscheidung bestimmt, ob man für das Endgame ein neues Gebiet bekommt oder nicht. Hierrüber sollte man sich vielleicht vor dem Ende informieren.

    Mein letzter wirklich negativer Punkt ist die Performance. Dazu aber nochmal vorweg: Ich habe gesehen, dass viele Leute Probleme mit Bugs und Death Loops hatten, das ist mir aber bei zwei Durchläufen noch nicht ein mal passiert. Lediglich in den Credits des zweiten durchlaufs ist das Spiel das erste und einzige Mal abgestürzt. Daher beziehe ich diese Punkte nicht in meine Wertung ein.
    Die Performance ist leider relativ enttäuschend.
    Man bekommt auf der PS5 drei Modi. Performance, Qualität und Auflösung.
    Da sich 30 FPS für mich wie eine etwas schnellere Diashow anfühlen, was in einem Spiel wie diesem nicht unbedingt zweckdienlich ist, habe ich ausschließlich im Performance Modus gespielt. Der Aussage von Digital Foundry, dass diese 60 FPS Stabil sind, kann ich so nicht unterschreiben. An einigen Stellen im Spiel, besonders im zweiten Gebiet sind Bildrateneinbrüche zwar nicht regelmäßig, kommen aber häufiger vor als es sein sollte. Hier sollte "nachoptimiert" werden. Darüber hinaus, sieht das Spiel im Performancemodus einfach nicht gut aus. Es wird mit festen, nicht dynamischen 1080p gerendert. Eine Schande, denn 1440p60 wäre mit Optimierungen, FSR Implementierung und/oder dynamischer Auflösung sicherlich drin gewesen. Stattdessen bekommen wir aber leider ein sehr verwaschenes 1080p Bild.

    Nun zum Positiven:
    Das Parkourgameplay ist in 9,5 von 10 Fällen absolut super. Nur selten bin ich gefallen, weil Aiden eine Kante nicht greifen wollte. Es ist Anfangs langsam, allerdings merkt man mit jedem Investierten Skillpunkt und Hemmstoff eine deutliche Verbesserung bis zu dem Punkt, wo man ein absoluter Parkourgott ist. Die Gadgets die man in der zweiten Spielhälfte bekommt, verbessern das ganze nochmal, müssen aber bei Meisterhandwerken verbessert werden, um das volle potential ausschöpfen zu können. Besonders gut ist hier auch, dass man gerade bei der freien Erkundung nie nur einen Pfad hat. Es gibt immer alternative Routen und Lösungsmöglichkeiten, bei denen es sich teilweise sogar so anfühlt, als wären die so nicht gedacht.
    Das Kampfsystem profitiert meiner Meinung nach aber nur von einem Skill. Dem Dropkick. DIeser ist, wie auch schon im Vorgänger, absolut OP und macht die Kämpfe ab dem Zeitpunkt wesentlich einfacher und lustiger.

    Ein weiterer, klar positiver Punkt sind die Charaktere. Alle Charaktere sind super geschrieben und niemand ist schwarz/weiß. Jeder Charakter hat seine eigene Motivation und seinen eigenen, nachvollziehbaren Grund, wieso er so handelt wie er handelt. Besonders bei Lawan muss man allerdings auf die Entscheidungen in der Story aufpassen, da diese die Charakterentwicklung maßgeblich bestimmen.

    Dadurch, dass viele Leute von Gamebreaking Bugs berichten, würde ich zwar noch auf ein paar Patches warten, an würde ich Dying Light 2 allerdings jedem empfehlen, der Bock auf gute Zombie-Action hat und nebenbei noch eine nette Geschichte erleben will.

Tenho que destacar que em relação ao trilher mostrado na E 2018 houve um gigantesco e massivo downgrade em relação a parte gráfica do jogo. A cidade mostrava ser bem mais estruturada e linda. A versão final entregue atende as necessidades, porém não em relação a expectativas que foram criadas em relação ao mencionado. No mais na cidade, a mecânica melhorou em relação ao primeiro bastante. A produtora dará suporte por 5 anos ao game e isso é maravilhoso. Expand

However, the choices in this game are Witcher 3 level good. Almost every choice in the game had me stop and think, because I genuinely cared about the characters and this world. For example, I made a choice to save one character from dying, almost 5 hours in game time later I run into him at the local bar and he gives me a great weapon. Was not forced and made the world actually feel lived in. I highly recommend this game to rpg/open world fans. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dying Light 2 had a lot to learn from it’s precessor Dying Light espically with that handsome man Kyle Crane (mmm…), but Techland has smashed it out of the park again. After playing the game for over 350 hours, I can say that Dying Light 2 deserved GOTY and was robbed by Elden Ring. My identical twin Jonah Scott smashed his role as my second boyfriend and new gigachad spirit animal Aiden Chadwell who run, jumps and fights throughout Villedor saving lives and smashing Volatiles with the dropkick, which instantly obliterates opponents with the pure foot of steel and vapourises people so bad, thier partners couldn’t recognise them.
    The story is a masterpiece, written by the greatest minds the dancing Polish cow could offer with themes like love, betrayal and my deepest darkest fanfiction inspirements. The ending where I face off with Waltz, Aiden’s kind of but not really father is when I started crying and begging for not Dying Light 3 but Dying Light 7. I need it now, and the ending where Hakon runs off with his 5th Husband who is Aiden Chadwell made me extremely jealous that I was not there with them running into the sunset or running to Villedor Castle (god, i want that castle so bad).

    To conclude, Dying Light 3: Hunt down the Hakon is a must buy. Everyone should play it, not matter which species you are. It’s fun for the whole family and family pet. This is probably better than IGN’s review anyway. Are we out of budget yet?

    Dying Light 2 is a thrilling open-world action-adventure game that will keep players on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

    The game's graphics are also top-notch, with detailed characters and environments that are a pleasure to explore. The game's combat system is also well-designed, offering players a variety of different ways to approach battles.

    However, the game also has some significant drawbacks compared to the first Dying Light. Several mechanics that were present in the first game have been cut, which can be frustrating and make players feel like they're missing out on something. Additionally, the game's AI can be inconsistent, and sometimes NPCs will behave in unexpected ways.

    In conclusion, Dying Light 2 is a great game with a lot to offer. The plot is excellent, the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is engaging. However, it does have some shortcomings and it would be great if the developers can fix them in the next installment. Overall, it is a must-play for fans of the open-world action-adventure genre. "

    I played Dying Light 2 at launch and was totally bored. So I put it on the back-burner and decided, knowing Techland, this would be a different game if I came back to it at a later date. Noticed a few days ago a video detailing the Gut Feeling update launched and decided to give it another go.

    Have to say I am enjoying it a lot more this time around. The game is different to when it launched. They have added things like gear transmog, weapon blueprints, weapon crafting and lots more gore and brutality. They have also added some community events and stuff. On a slow playthrough - trying to cover everything. Kind of switching between one part of the storyline and clearing one area at a time doing all the side quests.

    Some games do come good in the end, not many. But this is a different game to the game I played originally. And for whatever reason, probably the gore updates, finding it a blast to play at the moment. The story is still a bit lacking and side quests are very the same. But nice to see Techland never gave up on the game and I salute them for that.

    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.
