Techland promises more parkour, more mutations, lots of replayability and consequences for your choices. I had put the first game on such a pedestal that I hoped I hadn’t set the bar too high for the sequel. I was really nervous to play Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Thus your journey begins into Old Villedor to find a bio-marker and find Mia. If Waltz gets his hands on it, everyone could die. Waltz and before Waltz can kill him, he gives you one of the only working GRE keys left, entrusting you with it. He finds out his contact is running away from Dr. Upon reaching his contact, much like Kyle Crane, Aiden becomes immediately infected from a bite. Thanks to our old friend Spike from the first game (who is also a Pilgrim with Aiden), he gets a tip that someone may have some information in the city of Villedor, but getting into the city is going to be difficult. Waltz and he has been searching for her ever since. They were separated during a military raid on a GRE facility run by Dr. He is on a 2000 mile journey to find his sister Mia. Pilgrims don’t live in a settlement and constantly travel from place to place. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a Pilgrim who was a GRE test subject as a child. Everyone in Villedor is infected, it’s only a matter of keeping their viruses under control and monitored with a bio-marker. After the Fall, chemical bombs were dropped around the city in an effort to kill off the dead but only mutated them instead, leaving the dead to roam the streets. The last standing city in the world is Villedor, a GRE testing hub that was cut off from the rest of the world. Winter of 2021, the virus escaped the lab and the Fall of Humanity began and 15 years later, civilization is limited to small settlements that are few and far between and getting even farther. The first game’s baddies, the GRE, hid away some of the virus for secret testing and viral manipulation. After Harran was quarantined, the virus was fully contained thanks to the development of a vaccine. The new game takes place 20 years after the first appearance of the Harran virus. Let’s get into it.ĭying Light 2 Stay Human is the direct sequel to the 2015 release of Dying Light. In no uncertain terms, I will be 100% honest on the pros and cons of this game. While this code was given to me for a review, I make it a point to give an honest and comprehensive review on my own personal experience. It has worn down our faith in these hyped up games. AAA developers will promise the world to gamers only to release half-games with broken mechanics and promises of patches and DLCs. What I am coining the “Cyberpunk 2077 Effect” is taking hold of people. Granted, Techland treated its fans well and has been drip feeding us new content for the first game for years to keep our tummies just full enough to last us until now.Īs I cruise my way around Twitter, I have found people are afraid to pre-order the game because players are jaded by our experiences in the last few years. Fans of the original game have been chomping at the bit for this game ever since it was announced. The release of Dying Light 2 Stay Human is one (if not THE) most anticipated releases of 2022. We've also heard numerous reports alleging troubled development, management failures, and toxic culture at Techland.Platforms: PS5 (reviewed on), PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch After announcing the sequel way back in June 2018, they fell quiet about the sequel for long periods, popping up largely to release things for the first game like DLC and a battle royale spin-off rather than the game people actually wanted. Our former Matt (RPS in peace) liked what he saw in 2019 but evidently that was far, far, far from finished.Įven Techland have admitted they announced Dying Light 2 too early. He added, "We are sorry to keep you all waiting a little longer, but we want the game to meet your highest expectations on release and we don't want to compromise on this." Better a delay than a wonky game. Unfortunately, we've realised for us to bring the game to the level we envision, we need more time to polish and optimise it." It is by far the biggest and the most ambitious project we've ever done. "The game is complete and we are currently playtesting it. "The team is steadily progressing with the production and the game is nearing the finish line," Techland CEO Paweł Marchewka said in today's announcement. The developers, Techland say they need extra time to make it good, yeah? Previously due December 7th, and spring 2020 before that, Dying Light 2 is now scheduled to launch on February 4th, 2022. Parkour enthusiasts will need to wait two months longer to prance around an open-world city full of zombies (and zombies-to-be), because Dying Light 2 has been delayed again.
