Feb 15, 2022denuvo junk inside because they weren't sure about the good quality of the game and that was the only method to sell the game which is a junk itself, full of bugs, ridiculous flawed save system, stupid quests, uninteresting characters, boring environments, regrettable story, regrettable graphics. Not worth our money. Worst game 2022

Jun 16, 2022This game is not even worth a sale price. This game wants you to fall asleep. Such a dated game, graphics and mechanics are so bad. I hate myself I bought it
-
Feb 3, 2023After patch 1.9.0 game is really good now i fully recommended play this game . Graphic and story are amazing . I'm big fan of dying light 1 and dead island but I'm really love dying light 2

Nov 30, 2022Very good story, soundtrack and characters, aitor and the peacekeepers are my favorites.
But 1st game is better -
Oct 9, 2022Good game from a good Polish studio. I recommend it to anyone who wants to buy this game..

Feb 27, 2022As an xbox player I have to say that I am extremely disappointed. the performance is extremely bad and i had a lot of crashes at the beginning, which reduced a bit over time.

Mar 27, 2022To many bugs and glitches, lame weapon system. Very boring story and very lame end boss battle and zombies sometimes standing up even after you kill them same goes with human enemies, side missions to Repetitive.you can’t even repair your weapons at all This game only have good graphics Sadly I wasn’t to happy with the parkour either, Still prefer dying light 1

Jun 15, 2022Bugs, bad stories line, ugly graphics. Many boring outposts according to the canons of Ubisoft.

Feb 18, 2022ce jeu ne donne aucune incitation à jouer car il n'a pas d'âme. L'histoire est vide de sens, dispersée, interrompue. Les dialogues des personnages sont ridicules, dénués de sens. Les missions sont triviales, ennuyeuses, on a envie d'éteindre le jeu plusieurs fois. Mauvaise qualité et vieux graphismes
-
Feb 12, 2022This game is in beyond a sorry state. over 20 hours in and so many bugs it's unbelievable, from story events not triggering to constant quitting the game cause windmills don't work, its a mess. avoid it.

Feb 8, 2022This game is very boring and poorly optimized. But there is obscene language and jokes about intercourse. A good example of how sequels aren't always better.
-
Feb 5, 2022Bugs bugs bugs and more bugs mixed in with bad writing bad voice acting and an unforgettable story where nothing you do has any effect on the world around you.
-
Feb 10, 2022Simply don't like It. Rich on bugs of every kind. The idea behind the game was good btw.

Feb 7, 2022The lack of Italian language is not a reason to reduce the rating of the game
-
Feb 7, 2022Zombie game without guns. If you enjoy parkour and a worst story than the first game play this game. Beside bugs this game is mediocre at best. No mature / horror content like the first one, the first update should be a battle Royale for all the kids that enjoy this unpolished mess of a game delayed 7 years. I wish for a refund.
PS - COOP IS IN A TERRIBLE STATE. -
Feb 6, 2022How not a single reviewer failed to mention the amount of bugs in this game just graphically if not in resolution mode, proves gamer gate is still around.

Feb 6, 2022It is not possible to save the game on its own;
The game is saved in one cell;
There is no option to select the voice language;
There is no way to change the assignment of buttons;
Terrible Xbox Series X optimization;
Parkour is fun :) -
Feb 11, 2022Bardzo fajna gra dał bym 11/10 gdyby nie te włoskie napisy strasznie bolą w oczy zamiast tego techland powinien zamienić tekstury pizzy o ile takie widnieją w plikach na pizzę z ketchupem ,aby włochów też pobolały oczy.

Jan 6, 2023It’s great. Of course it’s not the first game. The story has evolved. Things have changed in the world of dying light. It’s huge. It’s fun. There is so much to do. You have to put aside the haters and try it for your self. It’s really good. I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Feb 16, 2022It's just a very mediocre game in every aspect. Too bad, because I had some good time with the first installment in the past.
-
Feb 8, 2023The worst abomination I've ever experienced this game is disgusting the studio is disgraceful! I feel robbed blindsided but let me assure techland they will never do me like this again EVER
-
Feb 21, 2022riddled with bugs and glitches. game isn't even close to being complete, so sick of publishers releasing these incomplete games. they should give us a warning before taking our hard earned 60 bucks saying that its early access or something. this needs to stop

Feb 10, 2022Este juego no merece esas criticas tan destructivas comparándolo con cyberpunk, ni muchísimo menos, el juego es muy entretenido tiene mejor parkour que el primer juego y el mapa es enorme y está lleno de misiones secundarias muy buenas.Lo único reprochable de este es la optimización en todas las plataformas, algo que ojalá mejoren en el futuro.
-
Feb 12, 2022świetna gra, parkour jest bardziej rozbudowany a walka jeszcze bardziej przyjemniejsza co prawda lootowanie w niej jest spoko ale w lategame już nie przywiązuje się wagi to brania czegokolwiek ze skrzyń przecież lepsze przedmioty są u handlarzy a pieniędzy ma się ogromną ilość

Feb 18, 2022типичная и скучная дрочильная в открытом мире

Oct 10, 2022A mediocre game, it doesn't live up to the previous one, buggy and Playing on Series S, the most bizarre and ugly performance mode I've ever played.
The story is good although predictable, and the gameplay is fun.
But it is flooded with bugs, I had everything, crash, black screen, blocked NPCs preventing the story from moving forward.
It was the biggest disappointment of 2022. -
Dec 22, 2022The gameplay is okay the story is pretty cheesy a lot of this stuff in this game does not work and it's not as good as the original this is like going backwards instead of forwards don't know what the hell the developers thought they were doing
-
Feb 11, 2022Abysmal performance on PS5 ,lots of bugs and graphics downgrade compared to the one we watched in awe the first time we took a glimpse of the game itself. Major disappointment.
-
Feb 11, 2022Jebać włochów co prują się o dubbing
a tak ogólnie to zajebista gra, a parkour jest BARDZO satysfakcjonujący
Dobra robota Techland -

Nov 21, 2022why did they change the movement system form the first game, that killed it right off the bat, and the story is pretty bland, the mandatory paragliding was just frustrating and obnoxious, even the combat is terrible
-
Feb 5, 2022Poor optimization. 1080p 60 fps on series X. Is this a joke? Graphics just pastgen nothing special or interesting. Another far cry like open world boring game.
-
Feb 7, 2022Одно слово-оптимизация.Все бы ничего,но они предпочли заработок,поставив Denovo, Пускай поплатятся ща свою корысть.А ещё выражу свою поддержку нашим братьям итальянцам,так нельзя поступать, это попросту некрасиво.

Feb 5, 2022Buenísimo. Por mi parte no entiendo como ha tenido notas más mediocres de algunos medios. Llevo varias horas de juego y la historia me está encantando, y las secundarias son brutales. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. No le doy el 10 por el ligero downgrade que ha sufrido desde el E3

Feb 7, 2022This game is the worst. If possible, I can watch the ending, but I can't play this game anymore due to many errors and lack of basic system.

Feb 6, 2022I like the game world, but the optimization on xbox Series X is tragic. Every now and then some graphic errors. I will no longer buy games for the premiere. I feel cheated. I hope it fixes this game quickly

Feb 5, 2022Pros:
- Really fun combat
- Great parkour (dont listen to people who say it's too floaty, you bearly notice it when playing)
- Jonah Scott
- Co-op
- Phenomenal soundtrack
- Interesting world to explore
Cons:
- AI is sometimes really stupid
- Dumb story
- Weird voice lines (one npc said "i miss hamburgers" during a fight)
- Awful optimization
- Many bugs
- SJW -
Feb 6, 2022Developers, don't be fooled by these **** who didn't bring the language, your game is a logical development of the first part, in the second you improved everything, something to a lesser extent, the game pulls 9 points unambiguously, for the heavy atmosphere, the screams of people who are torn apart by zombies, excellent parkour and a normal plot, thanks to the developers for the game
-
Feb 6, 2022A very good game, I like every element, and the most unique is parkour, combat, music. Villedor looks very good and has a great atmosphere in the city especially at night. Without revealing too much of the plot at night there is an adrenaline rush and a chase element which gives a lot of satisfaction. It's just a good game, I had no bugs, time well spent.
-
Feb 7, 2022Very fun game, italian people need to chill about the language, everyone speaks english anyways...
-
Feb 5, 2022Another solid entry in the Dying Light series. It improves on almost all aspects of its predecessor without revolutionising anything. If you liked DL1 you'll love Dying Light 2. I believe that some of the small issues as well as 1080p resolution on new generation of consoles take the score down a notch. 8/10 seems fair to me.
-
Feb 7, 2022verry good job, TECHLAND
-
Feb 7, 2022Stop write bad ratings because game doesn't have a language option. Its very good game.
P.S game have Polish language because its Polish game. -

Feb 5, 2022Techland should be embarrassed about what their game looks like on next gen. 1080p60 on series X??!!!!???? What is this 2012? BE WARNED...this game is NOT OPTIMISED for next gen. Has a lot of potential to be great looking game but they NEED to make it atleast 1800p60. The game looks like a xbox one game from 7 years ago. Immersion is completely gone on series x in both modes. A shame.
-
Feb 6, 202230fps 1080p on nextgen xbox series s, dont buy this.
Разработчики специально скрывали информацию и геймплей с ses до релиза игры чтобы обмануть обладателей консоли. -

Feb 6, 2022I'm very proud ,because game is very good. I don't like fight system but others thing are great
-
Feb 6, 2022A very nice game. I'm enjoying do far. The plot is good the graphics are ok, i like the city and the parkour system is great.
-
Feb 6, 2022Enjoyable game gives new ideas , There is diversity on side quests you have to choose wisely .
-
Feb 7, 2022This game might be no 10. But this is purely for all the ridiculous Italians 0 bombing this game. Also had rarely any glitches in about 10 hours of playtime and had a blast playing this in co-op with friends. Definitely not perfect but a lot of fun!
-
Feb 7, 2022Does anyone actually play this poorly optimized game? My Denuvo protection activation has flown only 2 times today, what was the point of setting it up? I'm sorry that I didn't have time to return it.
-
Feb 7, 2022Dying Light 2 is a great game graphically first class and gameplay too. Bravo TECHLAND for this game, you guys are great. I'm so glad I'm Polish. It's great that you didn't bother with the Italian language in the game to add it because nobody needs it. Poland is on the top.

Feb 7, 2022A really nice game. No more bugs than in an average Italian house. Everything Italy archived was like 2000+ years ago. Now it's just a mafia, pasta, pizza, and mafia again. Just learn English like the rest of the world.
-
Feb 5, 2022One the worst gaming experiences I've ever had.
1. Co-op is completely broken (literally can't even click the button)
2. Controller buttons/actions just stop working randomly
3. Practically every mission has game breaking bugs forcing you to start a new save
4. The amount of motion blur is ridiculous. Horrible graphical glitches. Horrible performance.
5. Entire game is a downgrade from DL1 -

Feb 7, 2022This game is a 10 out of 10 masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. Everything has been significantly improved from the first game. Techland makes zombie games way better than Capcom does. I love you, Techland ❤
-
Feb 7, 2022Despite of audio bugs (which are very annoying), the game catches all the ambient from the previous ones and got some new mechanics. Let's hope that Techland fixes this bugs, so it doesn't remove the enjoyment of playing.

Feb 7, 2022Absolutely awful game, maybe one of the worst i have ever player. Bad graphics, jumping on zombies has so physics compared to DL1, awful story, boring characters, city looks bland and boring. This is most generic bad game i have ever seen. Avoid at all cost!
-
Feb 7, 2022Dla redukcji włoskiej fali ;)
Gra ma swoje wady jak turbo płaskie postaci, fabuła nijaka, system "save" to jakieś jaja. Zwłaszcza jak wspinasz się na turbo wysoki budynek przez 15 minut, spadasz i zaczynasz z ziemi...demotywujace, ale przyjemny gameplay skutecznie te minusy pudruje -
Feb 5, 2022This is the perfect sequel to dying light. Sure it’s riddled with bugs, but it expands upon the first game, it has a new story, new set of characters, new map, new protagonist, new faction system, etc. This is the game that they showed in the E3 2019 trailer and it will stay that way.
-
Feb 7, 2022Great game :) combat and parkour is a blast. certainly not a 0-game..
-
Feb 7, 2022All the losers praising this trash have clearly zero taste in gaming or have never actually played anything that came out before 2020. If you want actually good open world zombie game, buy Days Gone. Dying Light 2 is a joke.

Feb 8, 2022This game is such a welcomed upgrade from the first game. The parkour is very good and the gadgets work very well with it. The combat is very fun and the mechanics are great for combos. The Graphics look amazing one of the best games to arrive on next gen.
-
Feb 9, 2022Very enjoyable! 25 hours+, I’m having lots of fun, few bugs but its normal
-
Feb 5, 2022Имеет плохой сюжет, испорчена боевика и паркур. Наскучела очень быстро. Не рекомендую
-
Feb 6, 2022This game is unpolished with bugs, glitches, performance issues and online problems... just like cyberpunk 2077 some people experience more problems than others and if you are someone who is not experiencing any problems with the game good for you but people like me are experiencing problems with the game even game breaking bugs
-
Feb 5, 2022Very good game need some polishing bot overall it is great job some missions are quite frustrating even on easy but I like this game . And also this is the Best looking game i have ever played
-
Feb 6, 2022This game is a completely frustrating piece of garbage. The controls are awful, the game play makes no sense, and it is just a confusing mess in general. Huge disappointment. No idea what some of the reviewers are playing. Terrible.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 30, 2024The game doesn’t do anything wrong per se and I must criticize it primarily for its absolute mediocrity, lack of interesting ideas, and wasted potential. There were good moments I really enjoyed here and there, despite the game having the worst open-world city of gaming history and the creators’ promises not being fulfilled in the slightest. [Issue#317]
-
Apr 7, 2022Dying Light 2 Stay Human could very likely become the stellar zombie survival adventure it should someday be, provided the bugs are finally wiped out. Its excellent parkour is an amazing way to explore this giant open world of the last tough city, and the post-apocalyptic stories of its many strange and distinctive characters are a must-see. Our bet? If its developers bring us a DLC with a really interesting story (or that solves this ending that we can't swallow), then we'll have the perfect zombie game.
-
Mar 15, 2022But the storytelling is a hair too cryptic to be easily followed. That’s true for most of Dying Light’s story elements too; from tiny touches, like photos of a dead family in an abandoned house to larger-scale interactions with other characters, the game struggles to emotionally draw you into its conflict. I never cared about saving Mia; my main focus was always on reaching the next objective. The bright side: Despite all those shortcomings, I had an absolute blast doing that.
