    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.

    Удивительная игра. На Xbox Series X работает очень хорошо. Быстрая загрузка. Отличная графика. Отличный геймплей, отличный дизайн города. Глюков пока нет. Я наиграл около 20 часов. Паркур потрясающий и невероятно плавный. День и ночь гораздо более сбалансированы, чем в предыдущих Dying Light.Удивительная игра. На Xbox Series X работает очень хорошо. Быстрая загрузка. Отличная графика. Отличный геймплей, отличный дизайн города. Глюков пока нет. Я наиграл около 20 часов. Паркур потрясающий и невероятно плавный. День и ночь гораздо более сбалансированы, чем в предыдущих Dying Light.

    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.

    Review bombs are a necessary evil in 2022 as companies are doing nefarious things to their consumers with no other recourse. This campaign to review bomb this game because of the lack of an Italian language option is simply childish and unnecessary. To be clear the game right now is about a 7 out of 10 but these "bombers" are making all gamers look petty.

    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.

    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.

    What is important - menu screen is very well designed. Map, quests, items, weapons, perks - so nice.

    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.

    Dla redukcji włoskiej fali ;)
    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

    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

    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.

    I had about 3 bugs in the 20 hrs I put into the game. It ran at the expected 60fps in performance mode and look really good imo (but my TV is 1080p anyway so I'm used to that) and the Parkour even though it can be floaty at times was really smooth.

    World is amazing, parkour and traversal i addictive. Gameplay is basically 10/10 with lot of things to do. Story is secondary for me when gameplay keeps you hooked in most of the gameplay. 10/10

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.

    Pd: Prueben esta joya !

    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.
