Much like how I felt about Dying Light, the ho-hum plot is mitigated by a core gameplay loop that is the strongest that the developer has ever put out. But given how meandering the plot is, I can’t help but wonder – what’s the point? Techland has gone on record to say that there’s so much dialogue in this game, presumably to illustrate how seriously they’re taking the story. It’s a shame, given that this is the most significant area that the game is trying to improve upon, but it falls flat. So many times, I’d find myself quite bluntly uninterested in Aiden’s personal quest to find his sister. That caveat is pretty damning – the overarching plot of Dying Light 2 just isn’t engaging. It’s a more personal story than Dying Light ever was, but such a story comes with a significant caveat. The game follows him on a quest to find his sister in the oddly non-specific “City”, while also looking to shed light on events in his past that could explain his immunity. Aiden is lucky – he has some kind of resistance to the virus – allowing him to remain human under the right conditions. You play as Aiden, an infected survivor in a world infected by a new virus variant from the original game. And while its primary new focus – its story – falls flat, everything else about Dying Light 2 is a triumph.ĭying Light 2 takes place sometime after the events of the original. Now, almost six years after Dying Light, Dying Light 2 Stay Human has not only seen the light but come out swinging. The game felt like it was in development hell for so long that I’d thought it’d ironically gone the same way as Dead Island 2. The fact that Dying Light 2 Stay Human is even finished feels like a miracle.
