    Gioco è davvero divertente gameplay alla mano mi è piaciuto molto sia il combattimento sia il parkour e molto intuitivo, graficamente mi è piaciuta la storia per il resto il open word e ben caratterizzato con una marea di cose da fare e punti d'interesse nulla di innovativo dal suo predecessore a parte il gameplay

The huts feel impactful and zombies can be chopped in so many ways that it majes combat feel so much better! Ragdolls and physics are still not as good as the first one tho, but it is getting there. Story is not something over the top and might be slow at the start, but when you get to a certain point in the campaign (like 20%) it takes up the pace so much better. If you are thinking about getting this game, but you are not so sure get it at a discount, it goes down to 30$ pretty often. Amazing game! 9/10 definitely recommend!… Expand

    al día de hoy terminando el juego, me parece muy bueno, su historia algo plana pero su jugabilidad y movilidad excelente, de vez en cuando unas caídas de frames pero nada alarmante.

    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.

    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.

    Edit: After playing Dying Light 2, I came back to the first and I realized the first is a 10 (from 9) and the second one a 8 (from 9), making the first one, indeed, superior.

    I really don't understand the hate this game received. Is it a perfect game ? Definitely not! Is it fun ? Well, I had a blast playing Dying Light 2. I was quite glued to my Series X for a week.

    Is it fun ? Well, I had a blast playing Dying Light 2. I was quite glued to my Series X for a week.

    The Good:
    -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.
    -Great Audio- Game sounds beautiful. Sound effects and music are on point and the voice acting is top tier.
    - Good Graphics- Maybe not like what the first trailer showed, but still I found it visually pleasing. Occasional drops from 60fps while playing on balanced mode.
    -Great Story- Perfect pacing for the most part. Also, what can I say, I'm a sucker for a game who puts choices in front of me.

    The Bad:
    -Simple combat mechanics
    -Boring side-quests    … 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.

    Well done techland

    I finished the game and it was a pretty awesome experience. The gameplay, graphics, open world are all a big step up from the first game. The story is solid and theres so many alternate choices to make that could make a 2nd playthrough very interesting.

    I like how this game added physics to the grappling hook. I also feel like the world is better built for the parkour. Its fun and can be intense. Lots of easter eggs to find as well.

    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.
    Exploring, looting, hunting, crafting and traveling are the main gameplay cores and they blend very nicely together    … Expand

    Pretty good game!
    As far as the action goes.
    The rest of it is pretty bland. The story is nonsensical, and the open world exploration is vaguely cookie cutter. Redundant side quests, and the main story makes little to no sense. As far as the claim to “your choices make a different”, it is a farce. Their are only a handful of choices that effect the endgame as a whole, and 5/6 of the    Pretty good game!

    Saving people has no impact ont he overall game and it can be beaten within 20 hours, easily.

    The leveling is linear and the progression is trivial.

    Otherwise, the exploration can be quite exciting.    … Expand

    It is pretty fun game to play but technically dissapointing. It doesnt have hdr, yet it support every nvidia made application. Bad port for nexgen consoles. 1080p no hdr. Atleast it run much smoother in added fps vrr performance mode about 90-100fps/hz with vrr. If you liked the first one this is just alike good zombie game

    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.
