Practically a perfect sequel to one of the best zombie games from the past decade. Dying Light 2 further refines the elements that made the first game so special while also expanding in scope narratively and mechanically to create a gameplay loop that is immensely satisfyingly to play,
Messing around with side quests and generally just enjoying exploring the different environments, I wrapped up the story quest line around 30 or so hours and I personally felt that everything was improved from the first game. Better voice acting, plotlines, and enough player agency to make you feel like the decisions you made make a difference. I'm interested to discuss with my friends who have completed the game what happened in their storylines.
This game was completed on PC and I was lucky enough to have a practically bug free experience, the only actual bug that cropped up during my run was the looping death audio when a partner got downed online, and the character would continue to grunt and wince during cutscenes! This only happened twice though. I was able to play online seamlessly with different people throughout different parts of the game with no issue.
Alongside that, no major performance issues or crashing, I did not have a single crash and the only notable performance issue would be from what seemed to be a memory leak, play sessions pushing over 4 hours saw lower FPS but thankfully a quick restart helped, again this was not much of an issue. The game held around 120FPS during all sections and I can only assume performance may get better as time goes on.
The parkour has made a huge stride and the paraglider is becoming one of the best rips from BOTW as it makes traversing this huge and vertical map a breeze!
Looking forward to the long life of support that title will get moving forward and seeing what types of DLC Techland has in store!
