The last great human settlement exists within an unforgiving, infected world, plunged into a modern dark age. During the day, bandits, factions and starving survivors roam the streets scavenging for scraps - or someone to take them from, by violence if necessary. At night the infected roam free, evacuating their dark hideouts to prey on the living. You are Aiden Caldwell, an infected survivor. Your exceptional agility and brutal combat skills make you a powerful ally and a valuable commodity in this dangerous world. You can achieve things no one else can. Enter places no one else dares. With your unique abilities you have the power to be an agent of change within this decaying metropolis.

    YOUR CHOICES, YOUR WORLD
    You must make tough decisions and hard sacrifices as you decide the fate of a society on the brink of collapse. The effect of the choices you make will have a huge impact on entire regions of the city, uncovering new land masses and areas to explore. Play the entire campaign in up to four-player co-op. Host your own games or join other players' and see how their choices have played out differently to your own.

    EXCEPTIONAL AGILITY AND BRUTAL COMBAT
    On your journey from humble beginnings to a person of great power, you have unprecedented freedom of movement across the city, seamlessly integrated with brutal first person combat.

    A MODERN DARK AGE
    In a desperate city, where resources and power are scarce, unstable, and trust in ruling bodies is all but eroded; humankind has reverted to a dark age. Civilization is gone but the relics are still there. This is a violent, primal & unforgiving world - and so are its inhabitants.

    THE INFECTION HAS EVOLVED
    The infection has evolved and become more sensitive to UV light. Society exists in the relative safety of sunlight, while the infected hide in the shadows of buildings. At night the infected roam the streets freely searching for prey, presenting opportunities for you to explore areas of the city inaccessible by day.

    Great game with tonnes of content and fun gameplay. Improvment over legendary Dying Light 1 - the best parkour and zombie game ever made.

    Игра понравилась, играю на X box one X .
    Боялся, что получится хуже 1 часть, но это, к счастью, оказалось не так. Русский перевод порадовал.

    Боялся, что получится хуже 1 часть, но это, к счастью, оказалось не так. Русский перевод порадовал. Так как проходил 1 часть недавно, то сразу начало кидаться в глаза хорошая графика и приятная атмосфера, паркур стал гораздо глубже, как и сама боевка. Если понравилась первая часть, то вторую можете спокойно брать. Жду багги в длк.
    Good night and good luck everyone.

    The lack of Italian language is not a reason to reduce the rating of the game

    i completed the game after 80 hours. so i will just review with pro contra
    pro:
    - great atmosphere, enough to give goosebumps and scare, especially during night time
    - nice soundtrack
    - interesting story, the first half was better tbh
    - great parkour gameplay, was superfun
    - weapon mods were awesome
    - some nice sidequests

    contra:
    - weapon durability, you get the korek accesoire at the end which basically gives infinte durability and makes the whole durability system worthless
    - story is not satisfying enough, you never get satisfaction. someone tries to kill you, you just shake it up and say "chill bro", never had the feeling that i had any power in choices
    - sound bugs, loud shrieking on the xbox series x, ruined some of the best parts of the game for me
    - survival sense stopped working ever few minutes, so i had to restart a LOT
    - lack of ranged weapons. seriously, what were you thinking with locking a crossbow at lvl4 peacekeepers
    - story choices made me feel like, even if i did take the right one, i **** myself over with it. an entire region is not unlocked for deciding the righteous path... whose stupid idea was that?
    - after lvl6 you get absolutely no gear for your actual level, you have to grind that locked area , which is under water.. have fun diving for 30min each run to get some decent stuff.. ingame you dont get anything. you have some high level bosses AFTER you complete the story, those drop same level gear. tbh worst choice devision ever
    - after beating the story, everything gets to your level but you still cant find anything above lvl6 have fun with your lvl 8 crossbow with 1000 dmg which will need like 50 shots to kill one boss. again, stupid decisions by the developer, probably to draw out the game longer
    - after completing the story, most sidequests get deleted or you cant do them anymore. the game warns you before starting it, however, after the game finishes , you start exactly where you stopped before... so why would you lock content for someone who completed the story first? stupid decisions again
    - the higher your level the more ressources you need, some items need up to 400 scraps for each craft. yet the merchants still sell the same amount like in the beginning, so they made another stupid decision with that one.
    - the shops and money are useless after a while, i had like 250k gold and had nothing to buy, because there are no artifact gears at the vendors after rank6, and the amount of craftable items is the same , which would cost not even 1k if you would buy them all out
    - no newgame+

    tldr. overall, it was a nice game, a fun experience, but a lot of small mistakes add up to a big one , enough to annoy you at some point. started great, got worse the more i played. still has potential to improve. has no replayability and no newgame+. dont finish the mainstory if you are someone who wants to complete the game, it gets harder once you beat, and the lack of "quality of life" features makes it annoying

    Utterly boring game. Boring story. Boring combat mechanics. Boring main protagonist. Boring characters. Boring setting.

    Utterly boring game. Boring story. Boring combat mechanics. Boring main protagonist. Boring characters. Boring setting.

    The parkour was decent, but the novelty quickly wears off. I played this for about 8 hours before returning it, it just wasn't getting interesting.

    The graphics aren't bad, but it still just looks boring and lacks a defining aesthetic.

Parkour is more fun, story is better, combat abilities are better, but the bugs and glitches make the game nearly unplayable. While fighting enemies the game randomly lags while doing parkour attacks. Enemies are sometimes grey skinned mannequin looking things. Enemies will freeze in place for several seconds after you hit them then re appear and get a free hit on you, story dialogue is often muted. Sometimes I'll do several parkour jumps, rolls, falls etc.. with no sfx at all. Then roughly 20 seconds later I'll hear all the sounds that were supposed to play earlier while my character is just standing there. I'm currently on the final story mission and its skipping entire cutscenes.. Techland should be embarrassed Expand
