Critic Reviews for Dying Light 2: Stay Human
A underwhelming story but a massive, exciting sandbox of parkour and kinetic combat.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human is an ambitious zombie action adventure that's packed with top-notch parkour, an awesome open world, and every painful bug in the book.
Open world zombie Dying Light 2 from Techland nails its parkour traversal mechanics, but unfortunately gets little else right.
Techland's vast blockbuster buckles under its own ambition and lacks in innovation, but makes up for it with outstanding parkour and combat.
Dying Light 2 is a game with a troubled development, and unfortunately, it shows. I know how much the first game grew significantly over the years with patches and content updates, and I can only hope that this one gets as much support, because it still needs a lot of work before it becomes the game we were first promised back in 2018, if ever.
Dying Light 2 offers a great open world playground for zombie survival, but lacks an impactful story or meaningful choices.
Techland has crafted a monster of a sequel that is bigger and better in almost every way.
Techland's undead sequel improves upon the strongest element of its predecessor, but things like story and characters drag it down.
