    Simply don't like It. Rich on bugs of every kind. The idea behind the game was good btw.

    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.

    Questo gioco è una boccata d'aria fresca nel mondo degli Open Word, non ascoltate gli haters e provate dl2 per credere. We invented the electricity with which you start your consoles (Alessandro Volta), at least we deserve a translation into our beautiful language.

    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.

    I'm unsure I've ever encountered a game that gives you so many tools for having fun then makes it SO hard to have any fun. 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.

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 world is so beautifully drawn that you can get the impression you are in the middle of the movie,

    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.

    This game is such a welcomed upgrade from the first game. The parkour is very good and the gadgets work very well with it. The combat is very fun and the mechanics are great for combos. The Graphics look amazing one of the best games to arrive on next gen.

    I love the story, the characters, the choices, the nostalgia, the combat, the parkour, sandbox activities, player progression system and crafting (except upgrading blueprints - getting zombie trophies is too much of a chore)

    The game just like the first one is great. The world is bigger and better. The game runs smoothly no major issues. The quests and side quests are great. Sure there are bugs but they are not game breaking bugs.

    All the losers praising this trash have clearly zero taste in gaming or have never actually played anything that came out before 2020. If you want actually good open world zombie game, buy Days Gone. Dying Light 2 is a joke.

This shouldn't be happening. 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. I have so much evidence that this kind of manipulation with user scores is happening here, so i say it again, dare to remove this review and will post ALL THE VIDEOS, i have over 500 000 subscribers, it will be very easy to get the word out.… Expand

    Absolutely awful game, maybe one of the worst i have ever player. Bad graphics, jumping on zombies has so physics compared to DL1, awful story, boring characters, city looks bland and boring. This is most generic bad game i have ever seen. Avoid at all cost!

    Gra ma swoje wady jak turbo płaskie postaci, fabuła nijaka, system "save" to jakieś jaja. Zwłaszcza jak wspinasz się na turbo wysoki budynek przez 15 minut, spadasz i zaczynasz z ziemi...demotywujace, ale przyjemny gameplay skutecznie te minusy pudruje

    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

    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.
