    Had to give it 10/10 because of the fact that there is no italian dubbing (fortunately!)

    Story so far not as good than DL1 but parkour and hitting zombies is very good.

    No clue how or why this game is being review bombed. It's got 5 years of scheduled content and the gameplay is some of the most satisfying in all of video games. I do agree the story and characters could use some work but in every aspect this game improves upon an already great experience in dying light and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

    Bardzo przyjemna i dobrze zrobiona gra. Cieszę się,że dodali do gry napisy dla wielu lokalizacji i dubbing dla krajów, które na niego zasługują :)

    Perełka, naprawdę, a brak języka włoskiego to już w ogóle miód malina - gra przez to relatywnie mało waży na dysku a sam proces pobierania jest dużo krótszy tak, że mega plusior :)

    Such a mess, Such a shame...

    Loved the first game and eagerly awaited a sequel for years. I heard there were real problems in-house at Techland during development of this game, which made me nervous, but pre-launch trailers and content restored faith somewhat. Techland has managed to take a lot of what worked with the first game and either remove it or make it worse. The result is a    Such a mess, Such a shame...

    Loved the first game and eagerly awaited a sequel for years. I heard there were real problems in-house at Techland during development of this game, which made me nervous, but pre-launch trailers and content restored faith somewhat.

    Techland has managed to take a lot of what worked with the first game and either remove it or make it worse. The result is a game that is nowhere near as fun to play as the first game.

    This game at release is not just a disappointment but a deception. I cannot understand why they choose to market this game years ahead of its release while delivering such a mess of a game

    Here's an idea: Why don't you focus on making a competent game first and then take it to market. It's like the people at Techland that have been hyping the game years in advance and selling promises of greatness have never actually played it or had any first-hand experience with the game. They’re just quoting from a script of ‘key features’ and ‘unique selling points’ that’s been cooked up for them…

    I heard that the CEO is obsessed with copying other AAA devs like ubisoft, EA and CD Projekt Red which explains a lot. That, coupled with egos and bad eggs in leadership roles at Techland (according to many interviews/articles) that are blocking good ideas and insisting on their own, has left players with a confused and mediocre experience.

    The best thing that could happen to this franchise now is if Techland sell the IP to a competent dev such as Kojima studios, Naughty Dog (Pre-TLOU2) or Fromsoft and then we might finally see an open-world Zombie parkour experience realised anywhere near close to it's potential.

    If Techland were to make another game after this, please just play to your strengths. You've hampered both games down to mediocre uninteresting stories with bad writing and voice work. Ditch the 'Story-driven experience' and just make a gamers game. Base building, scavenging, defending against zombie hordes, other factions, fun character progression/customisation, and just let players create their own story in the world. You could do this in 3 years, not 7.

    Also coop is currently broken and when it is working it’s not very fun. Instance after instance. Go somewhere, talk to person - ’waiting for players to proceed’, go to door - ’waiting for players to proceed’ - Go fetch item - ’waiting for players to proceed’, and on it goes…

    Pros:

    ⁃ Parkour is still largely satisfying and more versatile than first game
    ⁃ Added some cool parkour combat moves
    ⁃ Some good world design here
    ⁃ Perfomance mode on PS5 is mostly stable 60 fps
    ⁃ Gameplay flows a bit better between day and night (imo)

    Cons:

    ⁃ Some parkour animations have been redone but are worse - ‘Slide’, Grapple’ etc
    ⁃ Combat is repetitive and unsatisfying - Worse than first game
    ⁃ Ragdoll physics worse
    ⁃ Story and writing is painful
    ⁃ Too many cutscenes
    ⁃ Character dialogue rambles on (what could be said in 15 seconds takes 3 minutes)
    ⁃ Coop is broken/buggy at launch
    ⁃ Coop boils down to running from instance to instance. Can’t even spot/mark things for each other
    ⁃ Exploration of map inline with Ubisoft games - Mark an icon on the map and run to it
    ⁃ Bugs for days… All the same bugs that were in the first game still remain here 7 years later (How has this not been picked up on? Since you supported the first game for 5 years after launch. How are these same bugs here again?)
    ⁃ X-ray feature in combat removed
    ⁃ Moon gravity with parkour and combat. Everything feels ‘weightless’
    ⁃ Many standard ‘Quality of life” elements from other open-world games are not here
    ⁃ Menus are frustrating to navigate
    ⁃ Game is littered with bad game design choices
    ⁃ Story faction choices are underwhelming. Only a few make a difference, the rest are pointless
    ⁃ Removed survivor skill tree when it would have carried over to this game just fine.
    ⁃ Character progression and skill trees not as satisfying
    ⁃ 1080p 60fps on PS5 (thought we were past this?)
    ⁃ Removed volatiles and any threat from night time (Need to make a lvl 4 chase happen to see them)
    ⁃ Sun-baked lighting from first game is gone. Lighting feels flat and you can no longer ‘feel’ the sun going down and night coming like the first game.
    ⁃ Graphics look outdated (More PS4 than PS5)
    ⁃ Can’t repair weapons ⁃ Only 1 weapon moveset across all weapons - left…right… (What a missed opportunity) ⁃ Aiden is the exact the same character as Kyle Crane ⁃ Story and quest design is outdated (ok in 2015, not in 2022) ⁃ Enemy variety and attacks are same and boring to fight ⁃ All weapons handle the same and feel generic It sounds like they’re strived so hard to be a AAA studio and release a AAA game, and they might have just achieved it, but that’s not a good thing imo…    … Expand

    Initially I thought this game was a 10/10. But around 10 hours in the quality completely switched. The story went from decent to **** trash, my game was riddled with bugs everywhere making it unplayable. Audio and dialogue was completely **** Avoid this game if your on old gen frame drops are atrocious sometimes even going down to 3 frames a second. The whole “your world, your choices” isInitially I thought this game was a 10/10. But around 10 hours in the quality completely switched.

    I like the first one better. The story is crappy, characters woodden, I just skipp the dialogs. This game makes me turn it off and start the first one. The graphics desing is actually worse despite better performance but this is just thanks to the new console generation
    What I like about it is parkour and fighting because they did not breake it too much. Still... no guns makes it tidious    I like the first one better.

    Tor what is seen as one of the bigger games of 2022, I feel as if this is othing but a shadow of its former self.

    In comparison to its predecessor, it fails to capture what truly made Dying Light a great game, an average story, boring and uninspired main character, gameplay that just feels unpolished and combat that doesn't have the same fun as the first outing

    "Keep your expectations low, boy, and you will never be disappointed."

    -Kratos Anyways, I had a blast playing Dying Light 2, it has its problem but it's not the end of the world. It's not a good Dying Light 2 sequel, although it was fairly fun running, flying, and grapple hooking everywhere. Sadly I don't think choices really matter especially for some trivial dialogues between    "Keep your expectations low, boy, and you will never be disappointed."

    Might be the most glitchy game since Cyberpunk the more you progress the worse it gets. I have completed the story and now all my side missions bug out and or black screen dialouge takes double the amount of time/delayed. Also this white smoke appears randomly on most places on the map so I can't even see where I am going half the time.

    Don't think for one second that people are being harsh on the game. After 26 hours I can confirm that this game is a massive downgrade from the first. You don't feel the tensity of going out, the zombies aren't a threat at all. Combat is insanely boring, traversing the world is an absolute chore, and story is abysmal.

    What a disappointing game this was. Looks and feels like a PS3 game, story is boring and very short. The combat is atrocious. The weapons system is just stupid. Very upset about this game, I've loved the previous dying light game and the other Dead Island instalments, but this one is just boring. A vast open map full of emptiness.

    It would be 10 if the game didnt have some bugs that stopped some trophies popping and MP connection was better.

    This game is fun and long. Worth the money if your looking for a game that has hours of stuff to do.

    PLUS its zombies!!!!!! If you enjoyed the first game you will love this one. Like the saying goes if it aint broke dont fix it but improve on it!

    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.
