    Well I don't really get that 4.7 user score. It's honestly Techland's best game yet. Parkour mechanics are really cool, story is great, world design is on point and the graphics are good. The best way to play this game for console players is with the balanced graphic mode on Series X (and yes they made a few patches and this mode isn't 1080p/60 anymore, it's more of a 1200p or something).Well I don't really get that 4.7 user score.

    It’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.

    Este 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.

    Buenísimo. 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

    Pros:
    - Really fun combat

    - Jonah Scott
    - Co-op
    - Phenomenal soundtrack

    - AI is sometimes really stupid
    - Dumb story
    - Weird voice lines (one npc said "i miss hamburgers" during a fight)

    - Many bugs
    - SJW

    Developers, 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

    A 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.

    Another 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.

    Only technical part of this game is not satisfactory - on best graphics mode fps drops below 30 fps while around UV lamps (xsx) and after some time you get triangle graphical artefacts spiking from random object - mostly NPCs heads. This should be addressed at first but overall game looks and plays nice on XSX.    … Expand

Personally, I did not experience many bugs and had to restart the game only once (audio bug). Story-wise, the main character is poorly written and there is a split between Aidan steered by the player and Aidan steered by the game in cutscenes - the filmed one feels like a gullible kid lost in the fog, while the one controlled by us feels like a true Pilgrim. In general - the story is simply mediocre.
    Gameplay-wise, the game feels wonderfully - the parkour is detailed, slashing zombies is oddly satisfying and the sneaking parts raise the blood pressure. The introduction of immunity and UV light feels like a game-changer - the game obliges the player to analyse the risk and take cautious choices. To conclude, the game has some flaws that should be fixed in the nearest future. Apart from that, it is a very good game that can be easily recommended.    … Expand

(e.g. Birdie and the fragrance lady) The gameplay is fluid, the combat is much better as it has been in DL1. The ability to block enemy attacks is a great feature and makes fighting human enemies even more satisfying. The game looks fantastic, i play performance mode cause the 60fps are a must have. That the game only runs in 1080p with 60fps... I don't care. Still looks amazing and offers a well paced action packed experience with a working stealth mechanic, which I enjoy. The music bug i encountered may be a little annoying, but no game breaker. Restart and it worked again. And i guess there was an update, cause today the bug didn't reoccur.

The factions are not so morally defined so you never feel like there is a clear decision on who is right or wrong. The majority of bad reviews seem to be from people angry about a lack of Italian voice localization and people who were angry that the combat and parkour don't feel exactly the same as the first game.

    This 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.

The romance of the main character with some woman is missing. The main storyline could be longer, but it's still longer than the messiah of gaming CP2077. The best zombie game since Days Gone

    Hopefully you like Rosario Dawson's character Lawan... theres a lot of her in the games main campaign and she like many of the survivors sports a very edgy personality, the seemingly inevitable result of surviving the brutal world you play in here. Overall i enjoyed blitzing through the main campaign only briefly stepping off the beaten track for the odd side mission. There's alot of filler here, and yet i was surprised by the overall quality of the world.

    For myself I played to completion of the main story - minor side quests and distractions - maybe looked at 70% of the map overall - 31hrs 52 mins! Experienced multiple bugs, most were minor with only a couple of game breakers in there ranging from no audio to a boss stuck inside the scenery blocking progression. All were fixed from a soft restart of the game (series x didnt even need a restart     … Expand

Si tuviera que destacar algo negativo seria que con esta nueva generación de consolas tendrían que haber mejorado el rendimiento del juego, y ponerlo a 4k 60 frames , quizá en un futuro lo cambien ya que lo hemos visto en otros casos , ojo que el juego igual se ve muy bien igual.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. About halfway through the game now. Overall very satisfied. Gameplay & Sound design (when it doesn't bug out) are exceptional. Parkour & combat are excellent. Movement is fluid and melee combat hits hard. Haven't had many instances (if any at all) of falling due to the game not registering a grab/control input.
    Voice acting is great for the adults. The children voices are odd. They are WAY too "kid-like" and it's kind of distracting, but it's minimal.
    The only issues so far have been co-op not working all the time but they just put a patch through to fix that. Sometimes the audio will bug out and either go silent or will just play a static buzz sound which you have to quit the game and restart. Minor inconvenience.
    Missions are fun. Side quests are bountiful. The game rewards you for exploring. Will probably start feeling a little redundant if playing solo though. Only gripe with the game so far is night-time doesn't feel quite as dangerous as I haven't come across any volatiles. They have howlers that if they see you will start a chase sequence.. but they're relatively easy to avoid.
    Overall, i'm addicted. Very fun game    … Expand

    Came back to change my original score from an 8 to a 9, now that Techland updated dying light 2 to have 1445p and 60fps is definitely a huge game changer for the better! I started a new dive into this game and now I'm impressed with how techland listened to their fans and the community and improved every aspect of dying light 2, take note other studios.

    This is seriously not a bad game as all the negative reviews go.

    it is not the same as the 1st entry and that is not a bad thing at all.
    I prefer this above the 1st entry.

    Gameplay is immensely fun and fluid. Traversing and combat feels rewarding in going the extra mile in game.

    I had zero bugs and 44 hours in.

    Only thing that sucks compared to DL1 is the music.

    Story is only a slight step up from the first game but unfortunatley falls abit short toward the end. The sidequests are actually very good and some of them were tearjerkers for me.
    The multiple routes that can be taken in the story adn sidequests are welcome change and it does effect what kind of ending you get in the game.

    Gameplay is great and the combat is superb ! There are so many moves and tools at your disposal so it feels great to drop kick, ground pound , slash, double jump and then finish off with a jump kick to the face.
    The parkouring is at its peak in this game, dont ive ever played game where just traveling is so much fun, the paraglider fits very well once you get to the city and the grapple hook is also great (once you get it) Takes way too long bofore you get access to it.

    Ive put in over 300 hours into this game and im still not bored with it. Its a strong recomendation from me and dont let nobody tell that you this game crap just because its not like the first game.

    -Good Gameplay- Would be really great if not for the times where parkour doesn't really work, which for me did not happen often, but when it did, it was pretty frustrating.

    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.
