Dying Light 2: Stay Human

With a beautiful open world, great narrative side missions, and enough tension to raise even the calmest player's blood pressure, Dying Light 2 wrings a mountain of slick fun out of the most dire of settings.

It took a while, but Dying Light 2 was worth the wait.

When it was first released back in 2014, the original Dying Light was a breath of fresh air for the survival horror genre, with some exciting new ideas that made for a unique and epic open world zombie slasher, combining Mirror’s Edge parkour with a Far Cry-esque open world to explore. It ended up becoming one of my favourite games of the now previous generation of consoles, despite having some rough issues that brought it down a notch.

It’s hard to believe at this point, but Polish game publisher and developer Techland have been long at work crafting and gradually refining some of the biggest zombie horror games to date.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human could have been one of the highlights of the year, but a disappointing story, some frustrating design choices and performance issues mean it doesn’t cash in on its potential.

Dying Light 2 is a novel vision of the post-apocalyptic experience will bring everything players would expect from a new, radically improved installment in the series.

Enjoy scaling heights and engaging story, yet deal with the AI issues and pray. Do not go gentle in that good night. Parkour, parkour in the Dying Light 2.

7/10

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is an entertaining game with enjoyable characters and fun parkour elements. Unfortunately a lot doesn't hold up to scrutiny. If what you're after is more Dying Light though, then this is your game.

Techland's undead sequel improves upon the strongest element of its predecessor, but things like story and characters drag it down.

5/10

When every aspect of Dying Light 2 comes together, it’s an experience to behold, but the problem is that it happens so rarely that the game struggles to justify the price of admission.

Unscored

While Dying Light 2 largely succeeds with its visceral combat and traversal systems, as you attempt to track down your sister in the wide-open zombie-filled city of Villedor, it fails at creating an engaging narrative or giving us a memorable cast through its often too overwritten story.
