The result is a greater reliance on farming for supplies while out and aboutĪ cornerstone of the original Dying Light was the day night cycle. Doing so makes the player rely a bit more on their moveset and other throwables as well. Not only that, the ability to repair weapons is now only possible when a mod is added. While most Dying Light 2 weapons can be modded via blueprints, the player is no longer able to craft the weapon themselves. Melee weapons must be found rather than crafted. The other combat change of note is a reduced ability to craft weapons. ![]() It’s not your gun toting action in Last of Us, Resident Evil, or Back 4 Blood. Ground pounds, curb stomps, bash (or tackle if you are a Dead Island fan), and the overpowered drop kick fill out the player’s parkour themed combat moves. The parkour moves flow into various attacks to the point of you being able to leap from buildings onto a foe and continue without losing a stride. Unlike similar games to Dying Light, Techland does away with guns allows the player to experiment with fluid and fun melee parkour moves to take down the zombie hordes. While there are still ranged weapons like knives and arrows, the power of the almighty shotgun is nowhere to be found in this sequel taking place years after the first game. It’s back to good ol’ fisticuffs and close quarter head banging. In an attempt to further do so, guns are not to be found in the mean streets of Villedor. When writing this Dying Light 2 review, we couldn’t help but notice that Dying Light 2 leans heavily into the melee combat that makes it fun. Using it at the right time allows the player to counter enemy attacks and even deflect some ranged attacks. While there aren’t a host of new moves to use compared to the first game, there is a new parry system. Sorry, the cutscenes were just a little jarring and Dying Light 2’s major strength lies its parkour style action and combat rather than its cutscenes and exposition.Ī standout feature of this Dying Light 2 review is the combat mechanics.ĭying Light 2 manages to keep the core of enjoyable melee combat that Techland has always been known for and improves on it. Although, not good enough to escape the tantalizing pull of the ‘skip’ button. While we had not completed the by the time of writing this Dying Light 2 review, the plot that was experienced was decent enough to want to continue. As a result, Aiden ventured to Villedore to find and reunite with his long lost sister and figure out what was done to him and the other kids. Apparently people were using kids as test subjects trying to find the cure or something and Aiden was separated from his sister in the process. Every night that immunity falls unless you either take meds or stand in UV light.Īs you reach Villedore at the beginning of the game, you are treated to quite a few boring memories of Aiden in his childhood with his annoying sister. This affects the gameplay by forcing you to ‘boost your immunity’ before turning at night by taking medicine that keeps you from fully turning. ![]() Well, there’s a catch – Aiden’s already infected! Most factions in Dying Light 2 build safe havens and attempt to organize themselves against others who believe in different ways of survival from them. ![]() The main character ‘Aiden’ is what they call a Pilgrim who wanders from settlement to settlement. The world has devolved into a ‘Middle Ages’ kind of existence (plus spare electricity, apparently), and civilization is back to the days of the ‘strongest survive’. Without revealing too much, the game’s premise is that the virus encountered in the first game has spread worldwide and mutated even further. However, if you are anything like Jirard The Completionist and must 100% every single aspect of your game, be prepared for a 500+ hour slog! Tack on a healthy dose of side missions that can easily balloon to 100 hours. If followed straight through, the main story can be completed in about 20 hours or so. The storyline for Dying Light 2 manages to be about as compelling as the first.
