    Had a rough start yes, but was definitely headed in the right direction with the updates it was releasing before Techland partnered with Greedy tencent, microtransactions are the reason this game will die quicker then Dying Light 1, and the fact instead of delivering an expansion like the following for dying light 2 they resorted to adding a stupid in game currency that at minimum cost $5Had a rough start yes, but was definitely headed in the right direction with the updates it was releasing before Techland partnered with Greedy tencent, microtransactions are the reason this game will die quicker then Dying Light 1, and the fact instead of delivering an expansion like the following for dying light 2 they resorted to adding a stupid in game currency that at minimum cost $5 which is ridiculous since we are literally in a recession, **** worse then the Great Depression with cost of living and everything else so I hope no one buys any of these microtransactions, it’s a greedy move and I hope this bites Techland in the ass for selling out to commies and I hope tencent learns they’re not welcome in the gaming community with their predator business tactics.… Expand

    Techland sold out to Tencent, inserted microtransaction into the game the same way they would insert pineapple into your buttie and grabbed some bonus from their Chinese overlords.

    Screw Techland. Once amazing company, now not worth a even a spit their way.

    Over a year after Dying Light 2's release and shortly after Tencent's acquisition of them, Techland has added microtransactions to Dying Light 2. This is pathetic.

    Unlike most people, I really enjoyed this game before all the 2022 changes that I've not tried again. I liked that it wasn't as horror-driven and was more focused on people, cities and rebuilding civilization.

    I played Dying light 1 and loved it! Therefore, I pre-ordered the Definite Edition of Dying light 2 because I wanted to support Techland. I was surprised how unfinished the game was on release. The foundation they started was horrible and unplayable. I waited and gave the team a chance to work on it. Years have passed and it's bland. It's still a buggy mess( I had to restart the whole gameI played Dying light 1 and loved it! Therefore, I pre-ordered the Definite Edition of Dying light 2 because I wanted to support Techland.

It's still a buggy mess( I had to restart the whole game 3 times since I bought it, it messed up my multiple saves), and now they nerfed all the content because they are introducing microtransactions. The first one had them, but it didn't affect gameplay. Now, if you want a powerful/decent weapon or skill you have to pay for it. I can't recommend this game. All my weapons, outfits, etc. that came with the definitive edition have been changed for the worse. Story is boring, quest are boring, gameplay is mediocre. The first one is much better. Do yourself a favor and save your money or buy another game.… Expand

    The biggest problem with this game is that it takes more steps back then forward from the 1st. Night time is lame now. No volatiles at night.

    A mediocre game. The plot is generally okay, but some moments are very naive or crass. The open world is unfortunately monotonous. A lot of bugs. The parkour system is quite interesting. It can hardly be called better than the first part.

    I must say i like the first game more but its really not that bad. For all the Italian gamers you guys should be happy that the voice is missing I am an Austrian and i want the option switching language so bad. The voice acting in german is so bad i have never seen something like that i am not kidding. It ruins the game.
    Update: Dying light points are now in the game.

    Combat and exploration is still fun, but a stepback from Dying Light 1. Less weapons and freedom in this game makes it feel like a barebones Dying Light 1.5.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Una completa decepción. Menos mal lo compré con rebaja. Injugable en algunos casos. Lejos de la calidad que mostraba en ps4 el DL1. Adiós Techlannd, nunca más compro otro de tus juegos.

    I did not play this game on release, as I only bought it in December of 2022. I can't speak for issues that were around at the beginning of the game (e.g. bugs, missing Dying Light 1 features).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dying light 2. Es un buen juego, pero no tanto, como jugador que se sacó el platino del juego tengo todo derecho a hablar.

    Dying light 2 stay human, es un juego de mundo abierto con parkour y zombies, nada nuevo, la historia quitando todo tipo de misiones secundarias es un 8.3, ningún personaje memorable, la jugabilidad es un 9, el parkour está mal diseñado, ya que al ser una Ciudad grande las cornisas se pegan y no dejan hacer parkour.

    Teniendo 7 años de desarrollo me sorprende que tenga texturas plomo y que el aparato visual no es tan bueno si no lo juegas en PC le daría un 7.8, las pantallas de carga pueden durar mucho tiempo, tiene mucho menos detalle que el Dying light 1, el agua está mal diseñada ya que por cualquier mal movimiento te undes.

    Si piensas platinar el juego usa una guía de coleccionables desde el inicio ya que algunos los puedes perder.

    Al juego le doy un 8.1 casi el 8.2.    … Expand

    Terrible sequel, the first was so much better. Not sure why they removed all the cool stuff from the original but this game shouldn't even share the same name. Honestly, night time use to fill you with dred as the Virals would hunt you down and chase you, and you stood no chance in hell against them. So going out at night was terrifying.

Just run around slap stupid weak zombies and collect lame under powered and unexciting gear. Even the hang glider is lame. Just boring as hell. I was not going to rate this game. But people should be warned this is no dying light. Get the original with all the dlc for a fraction of the price and you will have a much much better game. Guaranteed. Stay away from this cash grab, far far away is my advice.… 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.
