Critic Reviews for Dying Light 2: Stay Human
A underwhelming story but a massive, exciting sandbox of parkour and kinetic combat.
Techland's vast blockbuster buckles under its own ambition and lacks in innovation, but makes up for it with outstanding parkour and combat.
Open world zombie Dying Light 2 from Techland nails its parkour traversal mechanics, but unfortunately gets little else right.
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.
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.
A little rough around the edges, especially in terms of the storytelling, but the interminable wait for this open world zombie sequel has been worth it
Dying Light 2 offers a great open world playground for zombie survival, but lacks an impactful story or meaningful choices.
