    Bad lore, bad gameplay.
    It's more like social title than proper single player

    What a total disappointment.

    Dying light 2 isn't fit to be mentioned in the same league as dying light 1. I could tell 100 percent that the same team did not woke on the dying light 2. Combat is worse, the world is worse, the story is worse, the game is buggy and the graphics are a downgrade. The first game was in my too 5 games of all time.

    The first game was in my too 5 games of all time. The dying light 2 is leagues behind the dead island games..... And they suck!

    For some reason they decided to not go with the composer of the first game. No, don't go with a composer that everyone loved. Go with some random who totally changed the tone of the game in a negitive way instead. Great idea! Not.

    I feel that a generation of devs are retired and the new generation are not fit to lace the boots of the devs that came before. It 100 percent feels like a generation shift. So many games are bad in 2023, and dying light 2 is no different.

    I'm off to buy dying light yet again got my switch. I need to wash the taste of the dying light 2 out of my mouth.    … Expand

    The 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

    why 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

    A 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.

    Wow, after playing it for few hours I have to say gameplay is really addictive. I didn't like this game AT all within the first several minutes but I loved it afterwards. I play in resolution mode on XSX and I don't experience any performance problems whatsoever. I played 1st part on PC and I have to say this one is better. Great game!

    Techland 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.

    To 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

    I finished the game and sadly had not fun playing it. DL2 lacks originality, it's repetitive, just ordinary. No plot but a confused story. Graphics a big flop too

    What has happened to the Gaming Development industry? Is this what they call a finished product? Are they proud of this? Did they just make this to make money and forget about it?

    The graphics are OK, the sounds are OK, the gameplay..ehh..the story.. what story? It's as generic as it gets. The game is super glitchy and unfinished.

    Is the game fun? Kind of? As long as you can make fun of it and just follow quests WITH A FRIEND. By yourself? Go play Days Gone or almost any other BETTER open world and/or zombie game.

    I also do NOT understand why devs feel the need to add the work f**k into every sentence either. Good writing requires a bigger dictionary.    … Expand

    Evaluation of the German version:
    Only the PC version is uncut and everyone else only gets the defused version.
    Even the uncut version on the PC is worse than its predecessor in every respect. A lot has stayed the same and only bores the player. Everything is becoming obsolete in tech and gameplay.

    ce 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

    I really was hoping to see more from this game, especially with the numerious delays. I'd say this is the definition of a 7/10 game but the game crashing bugs drop the score down even further for me.
    The main hook here is the parkour elements to traversal, and that is easily the strongest part of the game.

    The main hook here is the parkour elements to traversal, and that is easily the strongest part of the game. Movement felt fluid, most of the time, and, once I unlocked a few key talents and got the paraglider and grappling hook. there really wasnt anything that could stop me from moving. The first person perspective still has its drawbacks for a game like this. There are still times where you dont know if what you jumped towards was a climbable ledge and you can plummet to your death pretty easily. It was still fun running around the city alot.
    The combat and story, though, are a little more murky here. Combat is dull and repetitive. Especially so when you can unlock the drop kick. It just wasnt very fun after that. And the story is fairly painful and generic. I mainly did the story because the best parkour tools were locked behind it, some of them very long into the game. There's a ton of different choices you can make in the story but none of it seemed to matter much, till the end. I was so bored with it I just spammed the skip button over and over to finally finish the game. And none of that mentions the myriad of bugs that plague this game horribly. I got so many sound bugs that never went away until I reset the game. I also got stuck in a few walls here and there that forced a restart. I've heard of some save data being corrupted too but I never ran across those thankfully. Every bug for me was something I had to stop the game for and it really ruined the experience.
    At the end of the day, Dying Light 2 needed more time to fix all the bugs that came with it. But not even that would save it from the dull story and boring combat. It's a shame as I really liked the first game and its DLC. Playing the sequel really soured my thoughts on this series as a whole. I can't recommend this to anyone right now.    … Expand

    The 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.

    Dying 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.

    But 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.
