    denuvo 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

    This 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

    A lot of bugs, no zombie invasion, night time is **** cartoonic zombie, like 2 new zombies, one from left for dead 2 and the rest is only redesign. Parkour is what saved techland from a 1 in this scale. **** combat, no more broken bone exray and ****tie human combat.

    As 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.

    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

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. really a multiplayer experience. The lack of guns took some of the fun out of a good four player run going after volatiles at night. When fighting mobs at your own level they are extremely block happy and bullet spongy. I’m fairly certain most humans can’t take five to 10 hacks to the head with a machete. There are no good choices and what you do really does not affect the game at all in fact the traps are far less useful than the original game the general storyline felt like they just made a new crane and gave them a new name. This game leaves you upset with poor fight set ups and terrible bugs and generally nothing to do after you’ve been in the game in two days. The sound bug is absolutely terrible and I’ve been forced into animations by story and falling straight through the floor in a building into levels that don’t exist. I hit one of the larger zombies in the head with 57 arrow to the head…. 57 and they are not recoverable. It really feels like they learned nothing from the original game that was so popular and decided to turn and deliver nothing of the choices and alterations that actually affect the game in the final product this is an incredible letdown. I have played the original dying light through it entirely story probably 7 to 10 times and I’ve also done the following three or four and it was excellent this game has none of that creativity or storytelling. The controls are terrible and Jenkee at best I often press the trigger and get no effect jump kicks rarely work and the kick feature which was key in the original game is complete junk . I feel like there is less tactics and creativity in combat even though they added a block feature . It was much easier in the original game two judo throw people without having to block first they sacrifice too much for this one mechanic . They need to fix this game immediately and there are many many quality of life things that need to be adjusted. All the exotics you got are useless because they are out leveled and then they die and cannot be repaired even the most core fantastic thing that they did in dead island they failed to do in dying light two. Give us a workbench to repair our equipment you make us grind for the upgrades of each pattern there is no need to be completely a loser over the equipment when you finally find something you like. Also would not hurt to make away to infuse gear to current level. The other thing is over half The mobs do nothing but reduce your Health and equipment and provide no loot whatsoever. The final fight with waltz was complete and inspired trash. The final project is a re-warmed dinner of all the things you experienced with Kane story no choices are good and everyone you like in the game dies regardless of what you do. The one thing I liked was the added Hulk volatile mode which would be fantastic if you could activate it and has been a complete and utter missed opportunity. The intelligent Hunter was introduced on the following and it makes me sad that this was never followed through one. It would be nice if there was an expansion if you could play Kane as an intelligent volatile who hides himself under masks just as the mother did in the original game . hunter mode at night Old style kane in the day. The series X game is only 35 gigs I mean there’s really nothing to it I don’t know what they did for the last three years… Expand

    Ugh... I really enjoyed Dying Light. Dying Light 2 for me has 1 minor issue and 2 major issues. The minor... it doesn't look very next gen on Series X.

    This 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.

    Zombie 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.

I will film this and put on Youtube, if anyone dares to remove this review, i have so many videos of bots upvoting Sony games with 1000 positive reviews in 1 hour (clearly bots from Asian region, who never even played the game and sometimes they forget to translate their review, sometimes they post so fast that instead of 10/10 that they wanted to give they give 0/10 and so on.

    It 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 :)

    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.

    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.
