    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.

    The lack of Italian language is not a reason to reduce the rating of the game

    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

    I really like this game. Of course i had some bags, but they were funny. The only problem is story… the last part of the game is strange. AND I HAD ALL CONDITIONS TO GET THE BES ENDING, but the videogame did not say me at the very end, that a choice, that looks like a **** IS THE BEST ENDING, why you can’t say that BECAUSE OF YOUR CONDITIONS you will get THIS ending, not this.

    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

    This 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!

    Dying 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.

    A 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.

    Absolute masterpiece! Unlike reviewers I started playing after day 1 patch. So in the first 24 hours of playing I haven’t seen a single bug. The game is superb, probably the best game I have played since its predecessor. Graphics is top notch, music unbelievable, story great, combat engaging, parkour flawless. There is nothing bad to say about this game.

    PS: I know Italians are too ignorant to learn any other language but their own, but to give a game 0 because it doesn’t have italian dubbing is just ridiculous. Your language is not important enough (not spoken by enough people), deal with it and learn english like most of us players from other countries.    … 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.
