Dying Light 2: Stay Human

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a great sequel to a pretty good game. With fun traversal mechanics, combat encounters, and agonising choices in the story, it could be very much worth the playtime.

There's no doubt about it, Dying Light 2: Stay Human is a sequel of epic proportions. Everything fans loved about the original title is still very much present, but now with a bigger story, new features, and a vast open-world filled with areas to explore and loot.

Combining engaging combat, some of the most thrilling traversal you’ll find in a video game, and a truly rich narrative, there’s very little to find fault with in Dying Light 2: Stay Human. Whether or not you’ve played the first game, if you enjoy open world adventure games – particularly with a touch of horror – Dying Light 2 should be high on your must-play list.

“With a slow plot and uninteresting characters, Dying Light 2: Stay Human's few redeeming qualities are what sets the franchise apart from other zombie games out there.”

20 years after Dying Light 1, a new hero finds himself leaping and beating through an open world city, this time with disappointingly well-behaved zombies and map-filling faff.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human combines a branching narrative, a massive open world and satisfying first-person parkour. It’s a potent mixture, but repetitive combat and serious technical issues often spoil the fun.

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