    Najlepsza gra o zombie polecam każdemu kto lubi takie klimaty.
    PS. Włosi są strasznie pretensjonalni.

    Ahhh where do I start...slow storyline? Bad dialogue? No sprint button? No guns? Removed ragdoll system for combat? Levelled looting so you can't get better stuff until you level up? I'm not really sure where they placed the emphasis here but it was definitely in the wrong areas, I can only do parkour for so long before getting bored.

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.

    Don't listen to the negative reviews, this game is awesome. Okay, the story is nothing compared to a game like Red dead redemption but it's way better than it was in the first one.. If you are hesitating the only thing i can say is that if you loved the first one, you gonna love this too and you won't regret buying it.

Before mentioning the story, I want to start off with the gameplay. After playing for several hours, I found the gameplay to be quite satisfying, but it was not perfect in my opinion. It does make the game more challenging with the stamina implementation towards doing parkour, but it was quite annoying climbing tall buildings and running out of stamina just to instantly die from falling. Stamina was not just a problem, climbing itself did prove to be hard considering the instances when I wanted to jump to another platform, but because of how much the screen moves with every movement your characters head does, I would miss several platforms to grab onto and die instantly from falling or the zombies would catch up and kill me, or even the bows, Molotov's, and other various projectiles being flung at my character. There were also tedious moments when I wanted to climb a specific object ingame and my character would not wanna climb, perhaps it was because of how he was positioned, but at times it was frustrating trying to find a spot to climb up a building with the little time I had before enemies caught up.

    The combat is extremely fun, and once you unlock a lot of skills. You can easily cheese your way through the game. I was level 3 and I headed towards a level 5-6 enemy base to capture and I kept drop kicking enemies off the building instantly killing them. Same went for other instances when I'm just running on the roof tops and an enemy is straight ahead. I would drop kick not just one, but two enemies in a single blow off the roof.

    The environment was pretty cool, I had much more options than the first game when it came to running away from things or trying to get somewhere. Although as much as I liked the games overall design. It was annoying running on a roof top and being completely blind because a tree was blocking my view of where I was going.

    Story wise, it was pretty generic. The choices you made did little to nothing, and I'm not sure what I did wrong from the beginning of the game, but for some reason every npc who wasn't trying to help me. Were rude, and mean towards the main character, which was completely weird considering how I helped a settlement from a renegade attack once, and then a side quest had me go back to that settlement and one of the npcs said "Where were you when the island was attacked?". Then proceeded to degrade my character which totally through me off. Considering how it's a zombie apocalypse and I do understand that people would be living on edge, I don't know why even after helping some npcs you're still treated like garbage. So at the end of the day, any choice you make doesn't affect how npcs view your character in a big impactful way.

    Aiden, the main character is the single most generic, naive, bold and clueless character I have played as in awhile. When an npc is actually being helpful and nice, he would rudely push for his agenda and the game doesn't let you decide how you respond to someone in game either. The character has zero development throughout the story as well. He is either dumb and letting people use him, or just a rude character pushing for his agenda which I understand because he is looking for someone important to him, but still. He has no sense of just listening to someone.

    7/10 because I subtracted points for having a generic MC, annoying parkour physics, and poorly written story.    … Expand

    The worst bug that i encountered was the dialogues not working, but not just the dialogues not being here, the entire dialogue part not working, meaning that a 3 minute cutscene ended up in a 1 minute one because no dialogue occurred. The only way to fix this was to restart the game

Fight with boses, especially revenants, made easy and boring, no attack patterns, no challenge, final boss = worst boss in single player games, I ever seen. 20 minutes of fight with enemy, that have two attack types. NPC Textures have load delays and often I have grey models without textures. NPC Voices have load delays and often I have silent dialogues. Items have little and uncomfortable hitbox, when you want to take it, you must find the little point above it. On PS5, we have uncomfortable PC interface without habitual for console gaming interface, but with cursor. Side missions short and silly, so I don’t want to speak about that. Dark zones, at first, they seem interesting, but on 3-4 try, u understand that they all identical. Gameplay, especially parkour, is good and I have a lot of fun, when run across the city, it’s better and more dynamic then in 1st game. But it’s not save this game.

A jogabilidade em primeira pessoa agrada e a maneira com que a Tecland conseguiu atribuir o parkour ao gênero foi incrível. 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.

I know there are some game like Elder Scroll has excellent side quests but its not really apple to apple comparison).

    A good sequel with a myriad of new weapons and exciting parkour. However, the groan-inducing open-world questing can get in the way of the good times. There's nothing surprising here, but if you want a good undead-slaying open-world opus, Dying Light 2: Stay Human fits the bill.

    It was broken then, it's broken now. I really can't figure out why these games just refuse to behave. It's okay i guess, not much has changed since the last one in terms of gameplay, more foliage on the map, other than that it's the same basic game. Really wanted to like it, but if i can't play it without it repeatedly corrupting files, requiring new files to be reinstalled, i just won't.

    It feels like the first entry and looks about the same. There is a lot to do in Dying Light 2 but it all feels like DLC to me. The story feels predictable and the characters I just don't care about whatsoever. I do enjoy my time playing Dying Light 2 but it is more of a time wasting experience than anything I am going to want to talk to my friends about.

    This game would probably be fun if it wasn't broken. Developer has acknowledged various game-breaking bugs which have not yet been fixed on subsequent patches. Not sure what game the "critics" played, but in its current state it is unplayable for any extended period of time. Shameful for a game to be released in this state and for refunds not to be offered.

    The first game was one of my favorites. The first game started with a feeling of being totally outnumbered. My only point of improvement in Dying Light 2 was the parkour. I found everything else to be uninspiring and a little dull. Although I completed the game to the end, I don't see myself returning to it, unlike Dying Light 1.

    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.    … Expand

    The "resolution" setting only delivers 30 FPS at a fixed resolution of 1800p, which is hardly bearable due to the camera settings and the fast gameplay in this game.
    The "quality" setting with ray tracing only delivers 1080p at 30 FPS and is thus a disaster in terms of both resolution and performance.
    That leaves the "performance" setting with 1080p and 60 FPS, which I decided on in the end.
    But the game simply doesn't have a mode for the PS5 that doesn't have serious drawbacks.

    Unfortunately, the overall immersion suffers from various visual problems, glitches and bugs.
    Textures are sometimes extremely low-resolution, as are shadows, reflections are flickering etc. This is immediately noticed negatively in the game without having to pay special attention to it.
    But also many other standard elements like grass and water sometimes look really bad and are not state of the art.

    The PC version shows in some aspects that it can be done differently, so unfortunately you have to come to the conclusion that the game is (currently) poorly optimized for the PS5.

    The game currently also still has quite a few embarrassing bugs, nevertheless that 2 patches have already been released.
    It starts with annoying but harmless bugs, like achievements not working and ends with bugs where you have to reload the last save game because your character or a boss is stuck somewhere in the world.
    Other bugs, such as the flame of candles sometimes burning far away from the wick, unfortunately destroy the overall immersion.

    In terms of immersion, it is also noticeable in a negative way that entire level sections and other elements in the world have been copied 1:1.
    It is pretty boring when you arrive at the second subway station in the lowest level, and it is identical to the lowest level of the last subway station you've already cleared.

    The overall gameplay experience imho is worse than in Dying Light 1. For example, they incomprehensibly removed the skill with which you can camouflage yourself against zombies. Overall, the entire stealth mechanic is poorly implemented and it practically never makes sense or is fun to sneak through a level.

    Similarly, the entire skill tree has been significantly reduced compared to DL1. This makes leveling up much less interesting.

    The overall atmosphere of the game could be very good, if it weren't for all the problems described.

    Perhaps worth mentioning: I didn't enjoy DL2's new combat mechanics any more or less compared to DL1. That is, in my opinion, the new mechanics like blocking attacks don't bring much to the table.

    Despite all these issues, the game was fun to a certain degree. It certainly would have had the potential to be a great game, but unfortunately it is not.    … Expand

    I liked this game a lot on PS5. Didn’t have any bad glitches, the environment was great, graphics good and the story was adequate. I like how your choices change missions and the outcome of the game adding to its replay ability. Recommend if you liked DL1

    This game is such an incredible disappointment and is everything wrong with AAA games these days. They put so much time and effort into everything except for the fun part, and clearly did not understand what made their first game so incredibly good. It's like when you build a product and don't bother to talk to your customers to see how they feel about it, you just assume you know best.This game is such an incredible disappointment and is everything wrong with AAA games these days.

They either got lucky or were better the first time, and completely failed the second time.

    The game is so incredibly clunky, slow (way too many cutscenes/dialog). The fighting is so lame being RPG style (this one is really tragic because they should have just copied how good the fighting felt from the first one instead of completely ruining it).

    I hope they take this failure and learn from it to do a proper sequel to the first, and realize they don't need high production value cutscenes/dialog/etc, they just need to make the core game fun and let the player *play* the game instead of slogging through a bunch of media.    … Expand

    I was expecting a lot from this game considering how much the first one managed to stay in my memory as one of my favorite coop games ever played. It turns out that DL2 has not followed the same path. While I still enjoyed playing it with three of my friends, it failed to impress me in the following matters.

It turns out that DL2 has not followed the same path. While I still enjoyed playing it with three of my friends, it failed to impress me in the following matters.

    First, the ambiance is way less dark than in DL1. The game has less surprises, is de facto more predictable or even excessively repetitive and fails to make the player feel any tension.

    That leads me to my second point being the gameplay and more specifically the combat. It is just so messy and less refined than in DL1 (less mods, less animations, less satisfying-to-smash moments).

    Third, let us talk about the unacceptable amount of bugs/glitches in this game. There are so many of them and while some are funny, the vast majority are penalizing. Constant moans from your friends’ characters during 80% of the time (I swear, so many moments during which the game wants the climax to be serious/tense/sad and then you hear « uh eh oh uh uuuh » 24/7 in the background); a black screen during the second most important cutscene of the game, countless amounts of totally weird transitions with crazy long loading times… The list is too long.

    I am also deeply disappointed by the story of this game. It had so much potential but it feels savagely rushed. By the end of the game, some important events happen and the storytelling completely omits to mention the fate of numerous important characters of the game, including the most important of them all depending on the ending you might get.

    The world of the game is cool, I really loved to be able to parkour everywhere again, but as opposed to DL1, here I noticed a lot of building recycling, and overall less detail. I will not sell the game because I want it to be properly patched, and even expanded to add its – litteraly – missing pieces.

    Note that I played the whole game in coop. My whole review is thus based on my coop experience. Furthermore, by reading me, you might think I only state the negative stuff, and I do, but that is specifically because I fundamentally love this game. It feels like being harsh with a child you still love nevertheless. A child with a lot of potential but who f’d up hard. Its core features are still marvelous, but I expected so much more.    … Expand

    2. Performance Mode looks blurry and undetailed and still suffers from lots of major frame drops.

    3. Tons of bugs, several of which are gamebreaking.

    4. Extreme amounts of copy+paste. Most areas look more or less identical, even down to minor details like where bags and containers are placed. It basically feels like you're just clearing out the same area over and over again.

    5. The parkour, the most fundamental part of this game, is wonky at best. Expect to randomly fall (often to your death) just because your character decided to not grab a ledge when he should, or get stuck on a wall because he grabbed something he wasn't supposed to. This is irritating beyond words during any of the myriad of parkour challenges/sidequests littered throughout the game.

    6. One of the choices in the game permanently lock you out of an entire district of the map, and there's no indication whatsoever that this will happen. You can swim in the area to grab a few chests, but it's extremely slow and any enemies or other encounters you would normally run into in there will be unavailable to you unless you replay the entire game and make a different choice.

    7. When an enemy calls for reinforcements, they can spawn out of nowhere right next to you and attack you immediately, meaning you won't have the chance to finish looting that chest or whatever you were doing when it happened.

    8. Human enemies dodge a lot, and they're immune to damage while they do it. It isn't unusual for them to keep dodging one attack after another, and you won't be able to hit them until they decide to stop. You can still hurt them by using AOE attacks (such as grenades) or a ranged weapon, but the former will alert zombies and other enemies, and the latter are extremely rare, have limited ammunition and deal low damage compared to the melee weapons.

    9. Hitboxes are godawful. Even if there's an obvious distance between you and an enemy, they're usually able to hit you with attacks that would be a clear miss under normal circumstances.

    10. There are trophies for maxing out your Health and Stamina respectively, but you can only do one per playthrough, so you're forced to go through the whole game twice. You can kinda circumvent this by save scumming, but that would require you to not upgrade your Health and Stamina until late in the game, effectively locking yourself out of using most of the Parkour and Combat skills and thus make playing even more of an annoyance than it already is.

    11. Permanently missable sidequests and collectibles, which are required for trophies.    … Expand

But after one or two hours, I got into the flow and man, now, after one year of releasing the game, it's almost perfect in my opinion!

    There's so much to do, side missions, collectibles and a long story I actually was interested in. Even after 15 hours in the game, there is still new stuff showing up to use, new elements and even two kinda "side stories" where you go and hunt stuff and get nice gear in exchange. The map itself could be larger, but I never had the feeling being limited by its size, on the other side EVERY district looks different and especially when you've reached the center of the city and climb those giant sky scrapers, THIS is absolutely great!

    I don't know why some people dislike or even hate this game. It's like DL1 but much better, IF you just take the time to get used to the 'new' way of gameplay. And Techland really takes care of their games and like the first part, DL2 runs perfectly, no crashes at all or hickups, it never gets boring, always something to do, encounters, day/night cycle and so on.

    If there are complaints, it would be the sky, somehow, feels complete static, there are clouds, but not moving at all, which somehow kills the atmosphere when you pay attention (think of GTA or Red Dead Redemption 2 and the fantastic weather/sky). It does change though, but it doesn't feel natural at all WHEN you pay attention, because most of the time you're busy doing all kind of things and not watching the sky... ;)

    So, if you liked the first game OR you are in 1st person climbing games like Mirrors Edge, love to hack on Zombies, this is definitely for you. Just give it time to unfold and get used to the gameplay!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who absolutely loves the first Dying light game i can't help but feel disappointed after playing this game. Before i list my pros and cons of the game i want to remind that i played around 30 hours of this game, finished the campaign, did some side quests, found a lot of the upgrades and skills and did some free running. I played this on my ps5.

    Pros:

    Graphics are imo pretty good. I've seen a lot of people saying the graphics are bad but i think they look overall pretty good, they could be better but they did not bother me in the game.

    The crafting system is pretty good and simple to get the hang of.

    The paraglider is really fun and useful and works great in the second map.

    The second map that you unlock is insanely fun to play in. The high colorful buildings are great and varied.

    Cons:

    The story. Yes the story in the first game was also bad but the fun gameplay made up for it but not this time. Considering Techland put so much emphasis on the story when they marketed the game so to see it turn out like this is disappointing. Characters are pointless, boring and forgettable. Hakon was nice but disappears after the half way point and only comes in the end to betray you for no good reason and he is immediately forgiven for this, Lawan is also a character who comes along your journey and does stupid decisions and gets pissy when you call her out for them and gets herself in trouble constantly even if we tell her not to do things that get her in said troubles. Also choices don't really matter at all, no matter what you do Aiden's sister dies in the end so the whole point of the game is pretty much pointless. The only thing your decisions change is who comes with you in the ending, either you're alone, with Hakon or with Lawan, all of which are not satisfying options. Also there are very little connections to the characters from the first game, only one being Spike.

    Combat. The gameplay feels overall a downgrade from the first game in almost every way. The combat in this game feels slow, sluggish, unsatisfying and clunky. Zombies and humans half the time ignore or don't react to your attacks at all. Normal zombies aren't a threat almost at all, the humans on the other hand are stupid persistent and gang up on you and lock in their combo attacks constantly so fighting becomes more of a nuisance than a fun challenge. Also there are no more guns in the game aside from a bow, crossbow and a makeshift gun that break after a couple of shots. Who makes a zombie game without guns!? And for some reason the dropkick feels weird cause human enemies can block it and after you do the kick your character lies in the ground and gets back up so slowly that the enemies can just gang up on you while your still in the ground, so it becomes a liability more than a trusty power move.

    Parkour. Why is it so SLOW!? Jumping is too floaty and mid air control feels horrible. For some reason they added a climbing stamina bar but took out running stamina bar, like why!? Limiting the amount of parkouring you can do in a parkour game is a bad idea and this frustrated me so much especially in the early game when my character could not even climb a billboard because his stamina ran out. It was a **** addition and i hate it. Also why is the character always running but can't run in most of the safe zones even if there aren't even any npcs in them? Overall a downgrade in almost every way from the first game.

    The final boss is complete garbage. It is a buggy glitchy mess and the boss is a complete bullet sponge with bs combos that lock you in place. I honestly prefer the final boss from the first game which is also ass.

    Bugs and glitches. They are everywhere: textures not showing, lip-syncing not working, character pathing gone wrong, enemies getting inside solid objects so you have to restart the game to start everything again, also happened in the final boss phase 3, collision not working, physics not working, parkour not grabbing what you are trying to grab, double jump not working and many more.

    The nights. Volatiles only come out in high level chases in the overworld so they are almost never seen. Streets are ass during the night cause howlers are everywhere and alert all zombies after you. The night time meter also suck cause it limits your night exploration and it's just another pointless micromanagement. They ruined the selling point of the series that being "night is scary and beware" now they are just annoying and frustrating.

    also they removed the survivor skill tree, repairing weapons, first map is boring and sucks and dismemberment is severely downgraded.

    The game needed atleast another year of two in development to iron out the numerous bugs and glitches. I suggest you wait atleast 6 months for them to fix the glitches and wait for a sale. The first game was amazing and this game is worse in almost every way. This game is not horrible but it's not even close to the first game.    … 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. Hence the name dying light. Going out at night is aTerrible sequel, the first was so much better.

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

    It's a mediocre game compared to the first one. Despite a few improvements to parkour, the first game is better in almost every way. The game's optimization is awful, it requires a high-end pc, but it doesn't even deliver the next-gen graphics to justify it. Forgettable.

Por otra parte, la mecánica de los poderes de zombie, añadiendo super fuerza, velocidad, y super saltos... completamente inútil, solamente añadida para justificar 4 momentos en la historia del juego en los que se usa.

    Tal vez merezca la pena comprarlo dentro de unos meses, cuando baje de precio, ahora mismo por 70€ tienes opciones mucho mejores.    … Expand

    People need to start realizing that all games will be launched buggy and **** and you as the consumer should wait for patches and only then purchase the game once its stable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am absolutely disappointed in this game. Besides the countless glitches, my game has crashed three times, I've fallen through the map twice, the parkour mechanics are all over the place; I've died more times by slips and falls than zombies and human enemies attacks because Aiden falls whenever he jumps onto something; trying to jump onto a ledge is a major project at times because he always jumps to the side instead of in front of him. Some of the side missions which required Aiden to make a choice were bugged- no audio and no subtitles, so I had NO idea what the **** was going on!

    And now, my game is broken. I am stuck at the story quest of The Colonel, the mission after meeting Juan at his hideout does not appear. I also cannot sleep in any safe zone; I get the message that I cannot sleep because it's not safe. I cannot progress through the story because the missions are NOT appearing! I restarted the game three times and I am still not seeing any story quest missions. So I am UNABLE to play the game. I never had any problems playing the first Dying Light. This game should have NEVER been released!! GARBAGE!!    … Expand

    This game is STILL a broken and buggy mess on the PS5. Side quests glitch and don’t work, the characters are boring, and the parkour (THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME) is floaty and a downgrade. This game is lazy and unfinished.

    The game as it stands now is an 8 (I always add points to make up for literal simple minded figurative zombie sheep).

People expect a game to be something. When it's not, they give it a zero. I hate this timeline lol. How about this, if the game looks good to you after reading about it, try it, if you like it, there's nothing wrong with it. If you like it more than the Bible..oops... I mean Elden Ring, there's nothing wrong with that. Play what you like.

    Techland made an okay game. I liked the first one more but they can't all be the Holy Gho...I mean perfect.    … 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.
