    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.

    This game is an unplayable buggy mess. I got stuck on the doors that wont open so i cant progress. Lots of graphics issues, lots of sound issues. AM returning this. Been a massive fan since dead island, but this is a joke. It should never been relased in this state.

The basics are there, but at every turn the game stops you just when you're starting to have some fun. Have the key to the door? Great, still have to spam X to force it open after it's unlocked. Died during a particularly hard area inside at night? Respawns you NOT at the closest camp, using up valuable time doing 100% pointless traversal to get back to where you were. Have everything to upgrade your weapon? Ooops, need a single item that only drops from super hard mini-bosses. Running out of health cocktails? Time to spend an hour gathering the multiple things needed to craft them. Even going to SLEEP in a safe zone is gated behind a silly "oh no I feel weird" rote animation that can't be skipped. Every single detail of the game that's any good comes with an attendant caveat that makes it suck. And all of it boils down to the inflated padding that was crammed into this game under the guise of "RPG". It's all COMPLETELY pointless. The endless dialogue wheels that have no impact whatsoever on the game, the "big choices" that actually have no impact at all other than do you want ziplines or car traps, both completely minor changes. The character progression is slow and boring, with multiple different systems layered on top of each other with apparently no thought. Most of the unlockable skills are essentially useless, I unlocked double jump over 10 hours ago and haven't used it a single, solitary time and never needed to. This game is a whirling cauldron of BS trying to stand on the two flimsy legs of parkour and combat while the shambling corpse of RPG elements cribbed poorly from other, far better games, repeatedly kneecap the game and leave it shuddering in the street, waiting for Techland to come revive it somehow. I don't think they can. It's rotten at its core and will never be as much fun as the first game.… Expand

    This game is definitely a gem of 2022. The plot is not thrilling, but there are highly rated games where it is worse. Graphics are epic, mechanics could be better - but they are ok. 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

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

There's loads to do in this game and the characters do a good job of getting you invested into the quests they send you on. 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. If you can get over those issues and are looking for an engaging experience similar to the first game but revitalized then you will probably enjoy this game.… Expand

    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;

Techland really nailed it, improved the game in the right aspects, but it is still Dying Light. First I thought the Parkour would be less fun, but after same hours ingame my greatest fear was blown away. The story develops, the sidequests-NPCs and there stories are again emotional, tragic or just funny. (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. For me DL2 is a great sequel.… Expand

    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 instance of "critics" and "youtubers" being dishonest to general consumers.

    Whilst gameplay can be the repetitive swing-swing-swing till their dead as we're accustomed to in DL1, DL2 falls at it's abysmal optimisation for current gen consoles, graphical glitches, NPC AI and general poor voice acting and storytelling. Though the latter are likely a personal preference, just be    Another instance of "critics" and "youtubers" being dishonest to general consumers.

    Whilst gameplay can be the repetitive swing-swing-swing till their dead as we're accustomed to in DL1, DL2 falls at it's abysmal optimisation for current gen consoles, graphical glitches, NPC AI and general poor voice acting and storytelling. Though the latter are likely a personal preference, just be warned and maybe wait till the game's on sale if you're not a die-hard fan.

    Where the game becomes completely unacceptable is it's performance. On the Series X, "performance mode" comes in at 1080@60 which looks awful on a high-end Samsung 4K TV, and if you're ok dropping down to sub 30fps modes, the best you're looking at is 1900@30, or 1080@30 with ray tracing. There is also no support for HDR or Dolby Vision, though those on some devices can use options like Windows Auto-HDR.

    With nearly 2 years of delayed development, it's bewildering to think that no thought was made towards those fortunate enough to have acquired current gen hardware, and that they've in essence been left by the roadside; given a half-baked product and asked to pay more than those with a superior product on PC.

    Whilst comparisons to Cyberpunk are often clickbait, a key similarity lies at a complete disregard for 1 generation of consoles.
    Cyberpunk ignored last gen whilst DL2 ignores current gen. An issue likely to be blamed on current gen availability, but still no excuse when game prices have risen and quality has dropped.

    All-in-all, if you enjoyed 1 and aren't too fussed about graphics, resolutions, framerates and minor bugs (though some game-breaking bugs are out there), DL2 may well be up your alley.
    But if any of those things are important to you and you've splashed out on current gen hardware, save your money, wait for possible patches or a hefty sale.
    And if you're lucky enough to have a mid-high end PC as well, get the game on that, it's cheaper, looks better, gives you a variety of graphics options (motion blur!) and it's moddable.
    Just beware that not only is the game also not crossplay, it's not even cross-gen.

    Were the game a solid 4K@60fps with options to disable junk like motion blur and chromatic aberration, at most I'd rate the game a 5/10. The game doesn't re-invent the wheel or push any boundaries, but if you want more DL1 with some notable features removed like zombies sticking to spike traps (they just drop to the floor now) or tumbling off rooftops (they just stay stood up and take an invisible elevator to the ground level), DL2 has you covered.    … Expand

    Arrows are needless expensive for outputting such mediocre damage. Again, a whole class dedicated to it, and you will be lucky to hold more than 20 arrows at once.
    Bugs are to numerous to list them all, but a few times I have had to reload game to fix.

    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.

    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.
