Dying Light 2: Stay Human looks more like a DLC to the first game than a whole new one. This does not mean it is a bad game, but it is not one that you should rush to buy. It looks and feels like you are playing the same Dying Light from years ago, and despite the storytelling being solid and entertaining, it is not enough to justify buying it right now.
Delivering a huge improvement on the first title, but lacking with new features, Dying Light 2 Stay Human is quite fun, brutal, rewarding and a game of exceptional quality when it comes to the open world. Minor issues still exist here, but Techland successfully manages to live up to the hype surrounding the game.
Dying Light 2 ups the ante from the original in almost every way, offering more satisfying parkour, combat and enough jump scares to make you never want to walk in the darkness ever again. A worthy and essential sequel.

Its committed the biggest sin in video games for me and that is bloated. Its just the first game, x 10, when it only needed to be x2

Weird ass game, guns weren't even in it originally and were added retroactively. Techland has dedication, and turned it into a pretty fun game, combat and parkour wise. That **** story is abysmal **** though oh my god

Unfortunately, the story is below average. The graphics are good for the time it was released. Although the gameplay becomes highly repetitive, the parkour mechanics are enough to keep you engaged and help cover its flaws. Despite a long time having passed since its release, bugs still disrupt the experience. Overall, it’s an above-average game, but one that fails to meet expectations.

My final thoughts on my overall experience with Dying Light 2: Stay Human remains positive. Seeing some coverage come out and be turned off by the bugs and issues that were pre-release was expected, but disappointing since I had faith that Techland would stay true to the fans and make sure the experience is covered top to bottom with prime support for the players and community. I commend the entire development team including Lead Designer Tymon Smektala for being engaged with the community leading to the release and listening to what they all have to say. It shows in the final release and look forward to spending even more hours in Villedor for years to come.

Dying Light 2 is a bigger and bolder sequel that improves upon the original in every way. Not only does it have one of the most enjoyable traversal systems in any game ever, but it also provides players with interesting characters and quests to break up all the running.

The game had its issues at launch but Techland has since improved it through numerous patches it’s now even better than the first game. I’ve spent over 400 hours in Dying Light 2 and don’t regret a single second. I’m really looking forward to The Beast.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is another exhilarating parkour and zombie-pummeling playground from Techland, although at times, the seams holding it all together are a bit obvious. Given the game’s glitches, minor gameplay annoyances, and crudely bisected story and world, reports of behind-the-scenes issues feel all-too-plausible. That said, the foundation here is rock solid, and Techland has proven they’re capable long-term builders, so I’m confident Dying Light 2’s embers can be stoked to a full flame in time.

Dying Light 2 is safe in some respects, and bold in others: like its propensity to lean into some arcadey notions.

Dying Light 2 is a super solid follow-up to the 2015 original, building upon its fantastic gameplay loop with new traversal options for even more parkour fun. It's extremely disappointing, however, that the narrative and open world promises Techland made in the lead up to launch haven't been realised. Your choices don't have nearly as much impact as we would like, and the map is much more rigid than pre-release footage would have you believe. Still, Dying Light 2 feels awesome and empowering to play, and that can go a long way.

If you’ve played a zombie game in the past decade, this mishmash of tattered post-apocalyptic stereotypes will feel all too familiar.

Personally, I think Dying Light 2 is the weakest installment in the series, but it's still worth playing. Some elements are more polished than in the first game, but the gameplay isn't as realistic. Despite this, I highly recommend it.

Gierke generalnie to przechodzilem dlugo po wydaniu wiec nie mialem wiekszych problemow z glitchami itp. jak na premiere. Fabula mocno srednia, misje poboczne tez przecietne. Combat calkiem przyjemny, parkour bardzo dobry, graficznie wyglada bardzo dobrze. Polecam sobie pograć ze znajomymi bo mozna sie w tej grze naprawde dobrze bawic.

The sequel is more fun. They fixed a lot of the annoying issues from the first game, and parkour feels way smoother. Combat is still clunky, though, and the vibe of the original Dying Light is completely gone.

In the history of games, as you progress in the game, you become better and fun, dying light, quite the opposite, a hasty developer, the company is in a hurry and the audience is in a hurry, you have a game of mistakes, boredom and boring parkour!
