The game itself isn't that bad. It's quite decent, compared to all the others similar games on the market, but it's obviously way worse than the previous one, which is absolutely AWESOME.

This game lost a lot of the beautiful mechanics implemented in the first chapter, implementing new stuff that are absolutely terrible. In the first one, combat feeling was so much better, and also exploration and vaulting were so much more satisfying than what we have here. But there are TWO things I absolutely HATE about this game:

1) Keybinding: atleast for MK players, almost each move you unlock in the skill tree, is binded to a different key, resulting in a nightmare to remember which key to press to perform them! After 100 hours spent in this game, I still can't remember how to use most of them, resulting in using almost the same moves all the time.

2) Agents and firearms: after months of complaining of the player fanbase, who was asking for firearms (already included in the first chapter), they decided to release an update to give us those, which is awesome, if not for the fact that if you want to unlock them, you're forced to play dozens of particular missions that not only are suggested to be completed with OTHER players, but they have to be completed multiple times.. resulting to force the players to extreme grinding for hours and hours... and for what? Just to unlock them. This is absolutely the worse thing I've ever seen for a game like this.

On top of this, on a technical level, the game doesn't have support for the most recent technologies, like latest version of DLSS and FSR, or Frame Generation.

Concluding, the game isn't that bad, and it may be worth it for a very discounted price, but if you haven't played the first one, please. Play that one, because it's so much better in almost EVERYTHING.

I had a bet with my friend, that if I get at least 30 awards on Dying Light 2 review, I'll get nothing, thank you

Dying Light 2: Stay Human takes the exhilarating parkour and brutal combat of its predecessor to new heights, delivering an open-world experience that is both immersive and thrilling.

Combat & Weapons
The combat in Dying Light 2 is a satisfying mix of visceral melee action and strategic enemy encounters. The parkour-infused movement allows players to chain attacks fluidly, making every fight dynamic and engaging. The variety of weapons, from makeshift machetes to reinforced hammers, ensures that combat never feels repetitive. Modding weapons with elemental effects like fire and electricity adds another layer of strategy, making each swing feel impactful and rewarding.

Story & Worldbuilding
The story offers a gripping narrative full of moral dilemmas, betrayals, and tough choices that shape the world around you. The factions vying for control of the city create an ever-shifting political landscape, making your decisions feel meaningful. The world itself is beautifully crafted, with its towering ruins and vibrant settlements bringing The City to life. It’s a place that feels alive, filled with stories to uncover and characters that make an impact.

Gameplay & Parkour
Parkour remains a highlight, offering smooth traversal through the city’s sprawling rooftops and ruined streets. The movement is fluid, responsive, and addictive—whether you’re sprinting across rooftops, wall-running, or making last-second grappling hook saves. The verticality of the world enhances exploration, encouraging players to think creatively when navigating obstacles or escaping hordes of the infected.

Negatives: Collision Boxes & Mini-Events
While the game excels in many areas, there are some downsides. Collision detection can be inconsistent, sometimes leading to frustrating moments where you get stuck on objects or fail to make jumps that should have been successful. Mini-events, while offering additional world-building, can sometimes feel repetitive and lack variety, making them less engaging over time.

Final Verdict
Dying Light 2 is a fantastic evolution of the franchise, delivering intense combat, deep storytelling, and exhilarating parkour. While minor issues like collision detection and event variety hold it back slightly, the overall experience is an absolute blast for fans of open-world action.

Score: 8.5/10

It's crazy how generic this game feels compared to the first one.

Trash story
trash optimization
trash physics
the only good thing is parkour.

More of a mixed review. My issue is that the bulk of the game has an exploration problem similar to Horizon. There is only a handful of places that reoccur. You don't do go in to discover, you go in to do the same activity: bandit camps to fight bandits, ruined store for parts, and so on. A lot of boards, challenges, bounties, and checklists which all feel like filler. It's a great blueprint for a game that could be fun

Don't like the story but the gameplay is good

Skip every dialogue/cut scene and its actually pretty good

я еще не был настолько разочарован игрой, баг на баге, сюжет просто высер ребенка программы make-a-wish, озвучка похожа на каловую аниме драму, после 37 часов мой мозг сгнил

Not the greatest on handhelds
