The map has a lot of side-content to offer, where you unlock new items and gear by simply exploring the structures around you.Ĭombat, especially at the beginning of the game, feels very clunky. It’s fun to see progress and we did quite enjoy simply going out to crack some skulls to loot some supplies. As you go, new weapons will unlock, as well as new skills and other passive upgrades. You’ll be able to either opt for a safe approach, by sticking to the rooftops and only fight by using stealthy techniques, or you can just grind, power up and beat your way through hordes of zombies. Truth be told, the gameplay loop is quite easy to explain. Unlike the first game, however, you won’t be able to run around in the dark for too long, as you’re also infected, and thus you’ll turn into one of the undead when left in the dark for too long. The latter is in many ways the most fun way to eventually progress through the story more easily. Exploring is rewarding as you get stronger by doing so, collect new items, and so on. For the most part, it’s up to you if you just want to follow the main quests and plow through the story, or you can also explore the world around you. This is, of course, not necessarily a bad thing. Some accents, however, feel a bit over the top or even too forced at times and this does take away a bit from the overall quality of the dialogues.ĭying Light 2 Stay Human is a fairly straightforward Action-RPG that offers more of the same content we’ve seen in similar games that came out during the last few years. Dying Light 2 also contains a lot of voiced dialogues, and for the most part, this is handled quite well. The OST never really tires and the sometimes subtle background tunes add a lot to the overall atmosphere of the game. The soundtrack is interesting and picks up the pace when the game gets a bit more hectic. The sound design of the game is quite good. Other than that, standard assets get recycled over and over, so much even that some locations are literal copy-pasted versions of one another. We noticed that a lot of character models get reused, both for the undead as well as the base character. Even though at a distance everything looks quite good, things get a bit muddy when inspecting things more closely. Some dialogue choices are optional, but they do flesh out the story more and give you some more information about the world as well.įor our review, we tried out the PS5 version of the game, and we were actually quite underwhelmed by the graphical prowess of the game. There are some in-game cutscenes here and there, but the meat of the story is delivered by talking to NPCs. The story is brought in an interesting way, mostly via dialogues. You barely escape death thanks to a friendly stranger, and soon you find yourself aiding the settlement, as well as the peacekeepers who try to keep everyone in tow. You arrive at a settlement that may offer you your next clue, but sadly you get infected, and the people are not very welcoming due to this. You have reason to believe she might still be alive, and for that, you’ll need to find the doctor who performed these experiments on you. You’re looking for clues about your sister, as you and she got experimented on when you were children. Pilgrims are basically drifters going from one place to another and are pretty much the only ones that still traverse the world. You’ll be playing as Aiden, who is what they call a Pilgrim. Sadly, the virus has now spread over the entire world, and the human race has almost gone extinct. Even though we were quite entertained with what Dying Light 2 had to offer, the developers still need to iron out some of the kinks.ĭying Light 2 Stay Human takes place twenty-two years after the events of the first game. We were curious to see how the sequel would handle things in a world that has been infested with zombies for over two decades. Now, Dying Light 2 Stay Human has finally been released nearly seven years after the original game’s release. After having recently gotten our dose of Dying Light content with Dying Light: Platinum Edition for Switch, we were eagerly awaiting the sequel’s release.
