    A worthy sequel to a worthy game. The gameplay is on top, and the game landscapes are simply unbelievable. The story is strong, though uncomplicated. Only one fact overshadows - a bunch of grind. The absolutely inadequate amount of resources needed to improve the blueprints is depressing. Therefore, today the rating is 7.

    Other than a few small and easily fixed glitches here and there me and my friends love the game and are having a blast. Occasional problems include not being able to talk to the shop, not being able to crouch, and a sort of lag with NPC during missions where you have to stop to talk with them several times. Nothing that my group of friends are particularly bothered by as simply restartingOther than a few small and easily fixed glitches here and there me and my friends love the game and are having a blast.

Nothing that my group of friends are particularly bothered by as simply restarting the game or leaving each other's world and returning won't fix and it happens rarely enough not to be very annoying.… Expand

    Dying Light 2: Stay Human
    Just not that fun
    I loved the original Dying Light, obviously I had my issues with it and I hoped they would be addressed here…. And they just weren’t.. In a lot of ways things have gotten worse… This is an open world first person zombie game that took me about 20 hours to complete, and can be played wit up to 4 players co op… Youre a night runner, youre    Dying Light 2: Stay Human
    Just not that fun
    I loved the original Dying Light, obviously I had my issues with it and I hoped they would be addressed here…. And they just weren’t.. In a lot of ways things have gotten worse…
    This is an open world first person zombie game that took me about 20 hours to complete, and can be played wit up to 4 players co op… Youre a night runner, youre infected early on in the game which adds a layer of tenseness to the game which I loved, Theres a timer when youre in buildings or running around at night that have hav to keep filled with UV lights or the the sun so you don’t turn into a zombie.. this mechanic was never annoying.. in fact I never ran out of time, but I appreciate the level of immersion there… bevasue sadly this mechanic is where the immersion ends.. Like the original Dying light the world here just doesn’t feel lived in… it’s a mess zombie playground but even more lifeless than last time.. .a generic game world feel rather than again feeling like a world that used ti be brimming with life… I did love exploring the buildings during the main story missions, but nothing ever enticed me to seek things out on my own.. no addictive hook when it came to loot as every weapon breaks, theres nothing cool to find in this world, so why bother? Why not just stick to this super boring story? Which is what I did… One thing Dying Light 2 improved on is the flow of the parquor… It still needs works, its still frustrating at times, but it miles better than the original… and the combat is great too.. I loved getting into fights with my modded weapons, however the enemies this time around feel kind of brainless and just in the way rather than a threat like the past game.. and my biggest complaing.. I absolutely hated the second half of the game… running around in Dying Light 2 just isn’t fun… its not.. I feel like Im the only person who feels this way and I have no idea how.. I died more trying to get from point a to b, than I did the enemies once I finally got to the mission…
    I would love a more mirrors edge / modern assins creed style system in the future because I dreaded having to run through this city in the second half.. I didn’t mind the first half of the game where building were low and close like an old school assassins creed game, but the larger city.. awful…
    Overall Dying Light 2 is a fine game, its good, the combat is great, but the loot system is a disappointment and the story is just bad, it is.. I was non invested in the world at all…
    Youll have fun going through the campaign, its just a shame nothing in the world entices you to explore or to care…

    I played Dying Light 1 too, and DL 2 looks much better but is essentially more of the same.

    The pros of the game: + great music; + looks good + bashing infected brains in feels very satisfying. The cons of the game: - The game still has a lot of bugs in it; - Parkour feels great if it works, but just like in DL1 it quite often does not work well. Which can be very frustrating if    I played Dying Light 1 too, and DL 2 looks much better but is essentially more of the same.

    The pros of the game:
    + great music;
    + looks good
    + bashing infected brains in feels very satisfying.

    The cons of the game:
    - The game still has a lot of bugs in it;
    - Parkour feels great if it works, but just like in DL1 it quite often does not work well. Which can be very frustrating if you lose quite a bit of progress because you die because the parkour does not work;
    - Just like DL1, the very final bit of the game just sucks. Just do a short thing, and then end it;
    - A lot of the locations & missions are exactly copy-pasted;
    - A lot of the characters in the game are complete asshats, yet you have to help them;
    - Item management is rather clumsy: if you have multiple versions of the same item (i.e. a level 1 and 5 molotov) they are not folded into a single set of items;    … Expand

    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    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    … Expand

    The first dying light was amazingly fun but compared to this just felt minimal... That is all I have to write this review.
