    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.

    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

    I had about 3 bugs in the 20 hrs I put into the game.

    Overall the gameplay is very fun and addicting. If you were a fan of the first installment then this will be the game for you! The day one patch really fixed all the issues i was having. Only complaint I really have is the quality and resolution mode. They're not as optimized as I would like but the gameplay makes up for it! Great job TechLand!

Overall i enjoyed blitzing through the main campaign only briefly stepping off the beaten track for the odd side mission. There's alot of filler here, and yet i was surprised by the overall quality of the world.

    For myself I played to completion of the main story - minor side quests and distractions - maybe looked at 70% of the map overall - 31hrs 52 mins! Experienced multiple bugs, most were minor with only a couple of game breakers in there ranging from no audio to a boss stuck inside the scenery blocking progression.

    So 1080p 60 fps doesn’t look good at all. Some places can look ok. And why didn’t they add HDR support? And there sure is some downgrade when compared to the first game. And a few things might be better. But overall I’m not impressed at all. I loved the first game. But this for me is clearly a few steps backwards.

    As for the plot, the game has a very good beginning and middle of the story, but towards the end, everything let us down a little. There are many holes in the plot, and there are 4 endings, but in fact, they are all the same with minimal differences. The weakness of the plot is also manifested in additional tasks that are not very interesting (although there are exceptions), and in additional activities that get boring very quickly.

    The gameplay itself seemed pleasant to me, but not without flaws. The music in the game is as unobtrusive as possible, but at the same time tasteless in my opinion. There are also a lot of glitches and bugs that directly affect some secondary quests and additional activities, as well as prevent you from collecting loot in some places, it's a little annoying.

    In all other respects - a good game, but not worth the money. Wait for the largest possible discount, and in a year or two you can take it. I recommend. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand

    A buggy, broken mess
    .
    Addicting parkour-fueled, zombie-slashing gameplay.

    A cliche, lazily written and put together narrative.

    Unlikeable characters.

    Tedious dialogue and cutscenes.

    The game loses its horror, when the player realizes that they can easily outrun and evade every threat in the huge open world.

    Somewhat detailed/glitchy open world.

    Wait to buy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. About halfway through the game now. Overall very satisfied. Gameplay & Sound design (when it doesn't bug out) are exceptional. Parkour & combat are excellent. Movement is fluid and melee combat hits hard. Haven't had many instances (if any at all) of falling due to the game not registering a grab/control input.
    Voice acting is great for the adults. The children voices are odd. They are WAY too "kid-like" and it's kind of distracting, but it's minimal.
    The only issues so far have been co-op not working all the time but they just put a patch through to fix that. Sometimes the audio will bug out and either go silent or will just play a static buzz sound which you have to quit the game and restart. Minor inconvenience.
    Missions are fun. Side quests are bountiful. The game rewards you for exploring. Will probably start feeling a little redundant if playing solo though. Only gripe with the game so far is night-time doesn't feel quite as dangerous as I haven't come across any volatiles. They have howlers that if they see you will start a chase sequence.. but they're relatively easy to avoid.
    Overall, i'm addicted. Very fun game    … Expand

Tryb wydajności na XSX sprawdza się, dobry balans pomiędzy grafiką a wydajnością, mamy tu stałe 60 fps przy 1440p.

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.

    The main hook here is the parkour elements to traversal, and that is easily the strongest part of the game. Movement felt fluid, most of the time, and, once I unlocked a few key talents and got the paraglider and grappling hook. there really wasnt anything that could stop me from moving. The first person perspective still has its drawbacks for a game like this. There are still times where you dont know if what you jumped towards was a climbable ledge and you can plummet to your death pretty easily. It was still fun running around the city alot.
    The combat and story, though, are a little more murky here. Combat is dull and repetitive. Especially so when you can unlock the drop kick. It just wasnt very fun after that. And the story is fairly painful and generic. I mainly did the story because the best parkour tools were locked behind it, some of them very long into the game. There's a ton of different choices you can make in the story but none of it seemed to matter much, till the end. I was so bored with it I just spammed the skip button over and over to finally finish the game. And none of that mentions the myriad of bugs that plague this game horribly. I got so many sound bugs that never went away until I reset the game. I also got stuck in a few walls here and there that forced a restart. I've heard of some save data being corrupted too but I never ran across those thankfully. Every bug for me was something I had to stop the game for and it really ruined the experience.
    At the end of the day, Dying Light 2 needed more time to fix all the bugs that came with it. But not even that would save it from the dull story and boring combat. It's a shame as I really liked the first game and its DLC. Playing the sequel really soured my thoughts on this series as a whole. I can't recommend this to anyone right now.    … Expand

    Evaluation of the German version:
    Only the PC version is uncut and everyone else only gets the defused version.
    Even the uncut version on the PC is worse than its predecessor in every respect. A lot has stayed the same and only bores the player. Everything is becoming obsolete in tech and gameplay.

Like the original Dying light the world here just doesn’t feel lived in… it’s a mess zombie playground but even more lifeless than last time.. .a generic game world feel rather than again feeling like a world that used ti be brimming with life… I did love exploring the buildings during the main story missions, but nothing ever enticed me to seek things out on my own.. no addictive hook when it came to loot as every weapon breaks, theres nothing cool to find in this world, so why bother? Why not just stick to this super boring story? Which is what I did… One thing Dying Light 2 improved on is the flow of the parquor… It still needs works, its still frustrating at times, but it miles better than the original… and the combat is great too.. I loved getting into fights with my modded weapons, however the enemies this time around feel kind of brainless and just in the way rather than a threat like the past game.. and my biggest complaing.. I absolutely hated the second half of the game… running around in Dying Light 2 just isn’t fun… its not.. I feel like Im the only person who feels this way and I have no idea how.. I died more trying to get from point a to b, than I did the enemies once I finally got to the mission…
    I would love a more mirrors edge / modern assins creed style system in the future because I dreaded having to run through this city in the second half.. I didn’t mind the first half of the game where building were low and close like an old school assassins creed game, but the larger city.. awful…
    Overall Dying Light 2 is a fine game, its good, the combat is great, but the loot system is a disappointment and the story is just bad, it is.. I was non invested in the world at all…
    Youll have fun going through the campaign, its just a shame nothing in the world entices you to explore or to care…

    They added the option to turn motion blur off, which is nice. However, I think the game is poorly optimized on consoles in general. If you want 60fps, you can't go above 1080p even on beasts like Xbox Series X or PS5. Playing a fast-paced parkour game such as this one with only 30 frames is just not the smooth and fun experience you would be looking for.

    As for the game itself, many of the side missions are just parkour challenges or fetch quests. Yes, some side quests have a semi-interesting story to offer. But overall, the story is not a factor that I would praise on this game's side objectives. I haven't finished all the main quests yet, but so far, the main storyline has been interesting enough for me to keep playing. The world is beautiful, and the parkour is both fun and inconsistent (meaning that due to the existence of so many mechanics in the game, You can trigger some of them with the same button, which can make your character do things you didn't want to do.

    For some reason they decided to not go with the composer of the first game. No, don't go with a composer that everyone loved. Go with some random who totally changed the tone of the game in a negitive way instead. Great idea! Not.

    I feel that a generation of devs are retired and the new generation are not fit to lace the boots of the devs that came before. It 100 percent feels like a generation shift. So many games are bad in 2023, and dying light 2 is no different.

    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.

    Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a bit of a mixed bag for me. The parkour and combat feel so amazing and satisfying whilst the story has moments of emotion and excitement but a lot of it is also not as interesting as I would've hoped. I also feel it was a bit lacking in the graphical department and having to do 1080p to get 60fps was really disappointing, even though I'm on series x.

    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.

    Dying Light 2 is the best open-world zombie game ever made.

    Once again, like Dying Light 1, Dying Light 2 fails to tell an interesting story from start to finish. However, i’ve found that Dying Light 2 has better story beats than Dying Light and a better set of characters. Besides that, i’ve also found some scenes to be truly well written. My favorite part of the story was the reveal of Waltz, unfortunately, Dying Light 2 fails to stay interesting.

    With a lackluster campaign, why do i claim that DL2 is the best zombie game ever made?

    Simple: The gameplay.

    Dying Light 2 has not only the best first person parkour i’ve ever seen, it also has the best first person melee combat i’ve seen yet. The parkour is fast and ridiculously smooth, addictive even. I sometimes play this game without doing anything, I simply run around to climb on buildings, jump off buildings or initiate combat with zombies or bandits. The gameplay is boosted by smooth animations and a reactive gameplay system. Combine that with the fact that there are dozens of buildings you can enter, but Dying Light 2 doesn’t stop with entering small buildings, you can enter floors in skyscrapers! An open world zombie game set in a city where skyscrapers dominate the scenery has been a dream game for me.

    To summarize: Dying Light 2 fails to tell a story that’s captivating, but you’ll love the gameplay so much, you’ll stop caring and continue playing the game with fun in mind.    … 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.
