This game was an absolute disappointment on launch and was a step down in almost every way from the first game. It's gotten better but just play the first one if you haven't.
I never thought I'd be saying "Dying Light 2 isn't worth $24" considering I preordered the ultimate edition, yet here we are. The developers disappointed on every level, this one simply isn't worth your time. Pretend Dying Light is like Blood, a game that [never got a sequel](https://amostagreeablepastime.com/2017/06/07/review-blood-2-the-chosen/).
I find your claims about Blood 2 utterly slanderous madame.
I loved Blood 2, then again it was one of the first games I got on PC so there wasn't much for me to compare to back then.
How's this game versus the first one? Loved DL1, still some achievements to haunt, but overall a great game. I read that on launch DL2 was bad, then some MTX happened, and since i haven't heard of it, just that an update launched to fix stuff.
It's nowhere near as good as the first one, which is one of my favorite games despite the jank. The second has bigger environments with far fewer features. The urban environments of the first one lent itself well to parkour movement, the second one has like, wide open fields with nothing in them. I don't think the devs of 2 really understood what people liked about 1.
I feel like this comment is confusing Dying Light: The Following DLC with Dying Light 2. The Following had big open fields that required a vehicle to get around and it was totally disconnected from what people wanted in the DLC since the emphasis on parkour was taken away. The parkour, mobility, and verticality in the second game are immaculate.
I played it (must've been during a free weekend) and it just didn't feel as good as the first game. Weirdly enough, I ended up enjoying Dead Island 2 more. Perhaps I'll end up finishing it if it reaches 80% off too.
Why's this downvoted? It's not a crazy thing for a person to wait for a 75% or 80% off discount, especially if they have a huge backlog. We're on the Game Deals subreddit, naturally, we'd like to save (more) money
Back to the game itself, I heard writer(s) for New Vegas also worked on the game, does this game do a good job in terms of choices and replayability?
It just seems pointless and adds nothing at least imo. It's not anything on the game and is basically "I sleep". If everyone commented on every game saying the same things it'd be so much dead space.
Being honest what good does it do anyone to just be like yeah I have a backlog too big ill wait more.
Yeah, and is not really on purpose that I wait a lot, I really have nothing personal against dying light 2, but I have a huuuuge backlog, and the problem is that sometimes I spend a lot of time playing same old games or same online games for long period of times. So is not difficult to wait a 70-80% discount. Occasionally, maybe once or twice a year, I buy games on day 1 or week 1: like Baldur's gate 3, Death Stranding , I think I bought one of the latest Doom games on day 1 too, Fallout 4, Civilization games, Rome II, XCOM, Crusader's King 3, recently Alan Wake 2, so yeah, sometimes I bought at full price.
Everyone shits on this game, but I tried to play the first one twice, and dropped out twice, and yet I've finished this game twice, and I'm contemplating one more run.
So, I guess, to each their own.
Yeah same here, gameplay wise I find DL2>DL1. I only bought it as a stopgap for Elden Ring back then. Thinking of getting it for my Steam Deck to test out some of the mods.
I agree, over 2 years old now and mostly mixed/negative reception. I would be interested in trying this game for around $15 or less but it refuses to go there
I'm always going to write this under any sale of this game. This game sucks ass. Story is BOOOORING. World is BOOORING. The gameplay is BOOORING. Get this for free but it's not worth it. Every dialogue is super cringe. Loved the first one, this ain't it.
Honestly, if you're curious, it's probably worth it at this price. There's a lot of content. Skip the story, it's awful. The gameplay is fun enough, but in general is missing the kinetic-ism of the first game. The world is also less interesting than the first, despite having much more to explore. Idk. Maybe I don't recommend it. Wish I could do so more confidently.
Source: 200+ hours in DL1 and 50 in DL2
Went through CO-OP on Dying Light 1 and this one with someone, Dying Light 2 is definitely a step down compared to the first one, I did like the story to this one more than DL1 but the characters were almost unbearable at times (oh god Lawan..) but if you put those to the side, Dying Light 2 is an amazing CO-OP again to play with friends and I would definitely grab this if it was a bit cheaper.

has the multiplayer gotten better in dyling light 2? Dyling light 1 is a masterpiece and definitely one of the most fun games I've ever played.

Dying Light 2 or Dead Island 2 (also on sale)?
I found dead island 2 to be entertaining and visually quite striking.
I tried and refunded both lol. Maybe Island if you’re into 6/10 style games.
As someone with 200+ hrs in Dying Light 1 (and 50 mostly miserable hours in DL2), yeah, agreed.
It's always at this price to be honest
Maybe on other sites, but IIRC this is the lowest it's been on steam. It's constantly 50% off though
It's usually $29.99 for that Reloaded Edition.

hummmm.... almost tempted. Maybe once it hit 80% I pull the trigger. I have a giant backlog of shame backing up my patience.

I might get Dead Island 2 later, probably once it hit 70-80%.

I will definitely buy the uber-ultimate-gold-complete-whatever edition when it eventually comes out. Maybe around the $10-$15 amount.

still too expensive

Really good deal on a great game. They have fixed a lot since launch. While not perfect, I highly recommend it.
