Dying Light 2 is a great game, and an experience I enjoyed more than the first one. The map was so fun to explore, the parkour mechanics are the greatest in any game, and the combat is VASTLY improved, especially human combat. I think it did a great job with these mechanics, and I also really liked Aiden as a character. The graphics are great, the music is amazing and the dynamic music parts kicking in is awesome. I think you can longer, nicer runs than the first from the more open rooftops, which adds to the experience. The characters are good, the story is about the same in terms of Dying Light 1, and I thought it was a great game. That being said it does have a fair amount of issues. I think the biggest issue is the story has multiple choices, but nothing is really interesting. It is just so mediocre that there isn't much to it and wasn't amazing writing. I also think that the copy-pasting got very noticeable as the game continued, and I also didn't like the upgrading system for mods, you needed to invest way too much into one mod and lower material requirements are still needed for higher upgrades, so you can't really done a bunch of mods unless you do dedicated farming for it. I do want to mention though: complaints about this game are mostly valid because I played very late in its life. It had a lot of improvements that weren't there on launch, when most people played. Along with this, and I usually don't bring this up, but the devs objectively lied. They did not give the product they advertised. This was a great game, but it was not the game that they took preorders on. That is scummy, and I think they completely lost trust in me. I don't plan on buying their next game if the advertising is just a straight up lie like this game, and along with that the fact this game and the first have so many microtransactions and mobile game style dailies for a single-player experience really rips me out of the game, and is disappointing how common this is becoming. Especially when there isn't even a PVP aspect in the game like the first one had to somewhat justify it. I liked this game more than most, but I can't blame people for not enjoying it as much as me.
