It’s amazing, even with the bugs. The Parkour and OST are Top Teir. Olivier Deriviere did an amazing job, and don’t even get me started on the Dynamic Music. The Stealth is greatly improved and so is the Combat, combining Combat and Parkour = W *The Grappling Hook is Better in DL2 than the first game don’t @ me.* And the Paraglider is an amazing addition to traversal. And Then we get To Jonah Scott, The Voice actor of Aiden Caldwell. He did a fantastic job and I know that Roger Craig Smith and His Mother would be proud, because I am, especially with the fact that he himself came up with all the quips after recording sessions (If memory serves correct) The Game is Amazing, and the one addition I want has already been talked about by Olivier so that is great to see. 7/10 With all the bugs and With Co-op broken I can’t give it anything higher than a 7 and i trust the team at tech land so I think in the future it will be a 9 easily. *Thank You Techland.*

17:30 I AGREE SO MUCH. It honestly feels like they made a narrative, fired Avellone, rewrote the narrative, and forgot to put the E3 mission in so they forced it at the end. "OH you remember The Colonel? He's here now. And remember driving the car? Well now it's a cutscene rather than a choice." It really is Game of Thrones season 8.

When i reached the Epilogue I had the exact same reaction, I was like ALREADY DONE? Also ,IMO the Epilogue was worse than many other missions in terms of experience and story logic.

Which is the soul essence of the game. I think I've seen less than 10 Volatiles in 120 hours of gameplay. I have seen them in level 1 chases but they are nonexistent and bc of this there is no intensity at night. Also these new infected had no real introduction in-game which turned me off and I honestly forgot about the Banshees in-game. I love this game but they really need to step it up. imo

With the Epilogue, it was really disappointing to me. It feels so very out of place, it being the e3 mission is just weird. The renegades should have been more of a faction, along with the Butcher being more of a personality. It really makes you think how much changed and was cut from Avellone, and how much better and fleshed out everything could have been. (also just a side note, wildcard factions should have stayed)

In DL2, I am able to go get some loot at night by sticking to roofs. Maybe volatiles can spawn on roofs once you finish the story missions.

It would be epic to have a expansion DLC just like the following except it’s a prequel that takes place 10 years ago and you’re fighting with guns and vehicles as a completely different character.

I love the game but you can really feel that departure that happened mid development has affected it heavily

I feel like the combat needs a bit more oomph, there aren't any in-combat finishers and alot of perfect parries and dodges essentially do nothing, aerial attacks you are limited to doing if you're detected and your height. If you're too high up you can't do it and if youre too low you can't, it's also locked to some animation where you press interact rather than just dropping down from above, stealth takedowns are very slow even the 'fast' one. Vault kick is iffy and doesn't do much especially if the target is adjacent to you (feel like a roundhouse to the left or right would do wonders for it fro mos that are adjacent), having to hold crouch to slide is rather inconvenient (i wish there was a toggle for this) as well as an awkward double-tap 'E' drop kick (also wish there was a toggle). Dropkick takes forever to recover from so no point in doing that as on your way back up you're getting ur arse beat and cant even get up in time to do a ground finisher (which is also only triggered by a very jank and brief window) Two of the skills are really just the same thing in parkour. You know which ones im talking about. Dash is like a pointless sprint you can't even keep on. Does anybody even use windmill with that weird capslock binding? Or using the bash skill of holding 'W' and 'G' at the same time breaking your fingers in two? Lots of needed control changes and better hit registrations.

@@phattjohnson lol I started with controller on my PC because I was only using M&KB on DL1, controller would suit it better as it isn’t and FPS so precision really isn’t key. Would help with just reactions and melee but I had to switch back to M&KB for that exact reason. Wtf, to kick you have to hold LB/L1 then press RB/R1 to do it? Two inputs on top of a brief startup animation for both the block and kick too? Just makes it feel SUPER delayed and sluggish. As well as a few other quirks like Survivor Sense being RS/R3 and it wasn’t responsive making it feel like I had to death grip my controller. I eventually said F it and went to M&KB so I could have the luxury of using E to kick BUT during a vault kick it would switch to LMB rather than E which made it confusing. Yeah you could get used to it but it was just more confusing then it needed to be. Just so many little janky inconsistencies. When I first tried to drop kick I was so confused why it wasn’t working. Would miss half the time because you need to double tap, similar with sliding as it’s delayed since you have to hold it and that’s a friggin design choice wtf? It just feels like intentional input lag. The spam F thing for climbing inclined planes it just annoying when on rooftops as it’s like a weird ‘stepping on the brakes’ feeling. I feel like that should be removed once you get the sleek runner perks as it would fit perfectly to it. Jumping off enemies launches you insanely high (which is cool) but it being tied to dash means you have to do multiple inputs for a single action making it feel sluggish and delayed. There’s a ton of little control things that just make it feel like there’s a delay on everything rather than feeling responsive and snappy.

personally, the chase system is great i love it however enemies such as banshees, i thought they would come at maybe chase level 2. They feel heavily unutalised and would of added more tense to the chases since they can get you quite easily if your not paying attention (i play on hard). When you have also beat the game i wish when your on the ground, bombers would see you straight away ONLY when your in a chase to really make you stay of the street. but its just my opinion i want it more harder. also the double time quest is annoying me ive beat it like 5 times and keeps reseting.

I had an idea with nights and it was to remove chase levels, put howlers on the roofs without their icon, less of them, more stealthly, quicker to react and to howl and let the volatiles roam the streets alongside banshees. The Nights became insanely casual that it is not even a selling point of the game (like the first was), if you want to have something close to original, you have to use proper nvidia filters, which when u use the right one, you get a whole new and more satisfying experience.

this video was honestly so accurate it's nuts; I really hope techland sees this video and takes in these considerations, I really enjoyed doing the missions of the story in this game but wasn't satisfied with the dialogue (I also heavily agree with the last portion of the game feeling rushed) and I'm currently just roaming around the city and getting tasks done and it's pretty fun so far; I can't play with friends sadly as they are all on pc and I am on ps5, so that's unfortunate, and I hope they add crossplay sooner rather than later; this review is excellently done and I really hope that techland considers these changes as it would truly re-mould the game into a masterpiece.

After going back through Dying Light 1 (and now, The Following DLC) I can't see how the story in Dying Light 2 is better at all. The characters are all one-note obnoxious stereotypes with very few intersecting arcs (honestly the most memorable part in the first 20 hours is the Stolen Flour side quest) - and who can forget Lawan jumping around like an excited 5 year old when the lights come on? Was this scene supposed to be some kinda narrative climax? 🤣

I feel like some fight or parkour are really "videogamey" or even worst, sometimes its broken. Or for example when you push a ennemy from the roof, he edge of the build has a hitbox and the ennemy isn"t thrown away. A lot of animations are not well with the environnent.

If I remember correctly in DL1 daytime had way more demolishers and goons roaming the street. They need to do the same here, especially around military convoys. GRE anomalies should have spawned different types of bosses, not only the revenant.

I love Dying Light 2 a ton and don’t think I can ever go back to DL1 cause of it. Easily one of my favorite games of all time, I haven’t played a single other game since Feb 3rd. My only problem is that it often feels too easy but I’m sure in the future they’ll add a harder difficulty like they did in DL1 with nightmare mode. Luckily I’ve barely had any glitches so for the most part my play has been smooth. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us within the upcoming months and years.

First off, great video! Only at the 8min mark and can tell that you are truly passionate about how to take this game to the next level. Would also love to see more variety of dialogue from friendly npcs. As well as them not all shouting at me all at once. I know Aiden is popular but every person that sees you doesn’t need to talk at the same time. In time this game will continue to bake into the game fans truly want. 🤞🏻❤️

IMO I liked what they did with nighttime because it made going out encouraged instead of an a lack of paying attention to the clock. By adding volatiles to the roof it would just go back to not going out, because if your on the roof there's volatiles if your on the road, bam a chase now back to volatiles. It just loops back to no one really wanting to be out at night.

Thats why i think it could be tied to a difficulty level. The night runner mode

Wait wait wait wait….. did I hear a night runner difficulty??? Like similar to nightmare mode??? I can definitely tell that dl2’s difficulty caters to newcomers. For us veterans we need something that’s harder in my opinion. Beat the game 4 times and hard feels like easy or a knockoff normal mode.

God DANG I looked forward to this vid - nice work Oni, really doing a lot of work lately 2 things I instantly noticed in this game I dislike: 1. Roof top assets being reused, A LOT. Every single rooftop with loot, is identical (think windmill rooftops) 2. Revenants are boring, even on Hard mode. How come the normal spitter zombie, spits faster than the Revenant? So many issues with that "boss"

The Revenants should be so much stronger, they need to buff their health and make them equal to the Devastator in my opinion, right now they are pushovers even a normal zombie in the streets is more intimidating 😔

Most day 1 players and those who loved the franchise enough to pre order won't be still be here in June when the DLC finally drops. I've fully completed the game and I really took my time with 150 hours including a 79 hour first playthrough for the trophies.

Overpromising is one of the main factors that led to its downfall. The combat and parkour are amazing and such an improvement from its predecessor, but the story is almost the same. But what really kept me engaged was Jonah Scott’s voice acting, it was just brutally crucial to Aidens character. The amount of work and dedication Jonah put into it was just amazing. Overall, I wouldn’t get it currently, but wait until a huge patch is released that makes the game polished and playable for all consoles.

A review as if I said it all myself, this was awesome man! A well thought out video and covered every thought I had when playing the game. I would just really hope Techland makes a comeback with a DLC like The Following. I didn't mind the story, thought it was okay but nothing memorable. The Colonel mission shocked me and like you said, had me super confused and had me going "This was the last mission? Really?" No doubt in my mind that they cut out a lot of things, possibly internal disputes. Really REALLY looking forward to a DLC like The Following though, a really do think a HUGE comeback could be made possibly.

Thank you very much. I’m hopefully for what their DLC

Too add on to what u said about the night chases, chargers and bombers should also come out at the higher lvls and maybe introduce a lvl 5 chase. The only time we got tu see a charger was in the car factory mission which was a waste of a new infected type

All points made I would 100% agree on I would also like to see -Make night time darker doesn't give of the same vibe as dl1 did -Add a thunder effect similar again to dl1 (at night) -And that end cut scene could defo get finished

Congratulations, that was a very well informed and insightful dossier on the game, absolutely spot on. As a console player I can tell you with complete honesty that I have never experienced a more frustrating and enraging experience while playing a video game ever, Sad but true .................. I missed those awesome all nighters I used to have with DL1, I was always looking forward with excitement and trepidation to the challenge, I am specially fond of those solo night time explorations of sweaty hands slipping through the controler and white knuckle terror hoping the Volatiles wouldn't spot me. The feeling of rewarding accomplishment I experienced with DL1 was what kept me coming back for more, You built Kyle from the ground up, and as he became stronger you also became embolden and empowered enough to confidently roam Harran's streets and show the Volatiles who's boss............ Gameplay was fluid and extremely enjoyable .......................Unfortunately at this stage the only positive thing I can say about DL2 is how beautiful it looks and sounds...............the soundtrack is sublime.................in console at best is a convoluted, unresponsive and sluggish combo of buttons commands that tend to utterly fail in crucial moments when you need them the most, not once, not twice but many times...................Quiting the game several times halfway through a session is an integral part of gameplay for DL2.....................Do I need to add more ..........hardly.................I still love it though ...................I am sure these issues will be amended with time.

Great review, you really touch on everything important.

I was also under the impression that you looted the pks base they would turn hostile towards you but they don't woulda been cool if they became hostile for a bit then after some time became docile again

The part where you talk about Spider-Man web swinging on uncle Ben really got me.

Definitely agree with this review. Big fan of Dying Light 2 and was well worth the wait being a big fan of the first, but so many missed opportunities. The current Night time mechanics and the lack of engaging endgame content (it's a bit filler and repetitive) are my 2 biggest dislikes at the moment. Really hope future expansions and patches fill in all the gaps of the game. Dying Light 2 could absolutely be a masterpiece with the foundation they've set.

Awesome review! To echo most others I totally agree. I'm VERY hopeful they will keep adding DLC's that will expand on the original story and maybe open new maps, exactly like The Following!

Playing on my 2nd save and I got so excited for a Banshee spawn... 49hrs after the prologue 😅 I agree with most of what you said but I'll disagree with the volatiles part. I believe roaming volatiles are partly to blame for most players skipping night in DL1. And of course it being super dark, I'm one of the them who skipped night. My reason mainly is because one of the updates added the alpha volatile, and eventually I had dozens of them roaming around so I just decided to skip night from then... My first playthrough took a while because I was selfless, kept choosing to help rather than advance. We have basically played the same amount of time, I'm over 160hrs both saves considered. When I saw the epilogue message it surprised me, and I do agree the ending was rushed. I wasn't expecting the Colonel to be such an honest and somewhat peaceful guy, moreso someone like him leading people worse than savages.

What would be more freaky deaky is if out of nowhere a banshee pounces on you at a random jump like in the cinematic trailer

the change regarding banshee and volatile was bang on man... i hope techland sees this

Techland has a good track record of listening to their community so if we voice out these things maybe they will come true. I know techland will keep this game going

@OniZombies

Indeed

the easiest fix is for techland to release a free C-Engine Development Kit. and let the modders run wild. turn this into the skyrim/fallout modding community. cuz techland games have had non existent modding communities due to their game engine being closed source and hard to mod.

I gave the water tower to the PKs because the no talking glitch happened and I had no clue what was happening so on my way to the bazaar church running from some volatiles I vaulted inside, figuring that the lights not being there was a glitch until I realized that I vaulted in as opposed to run inside of the building. Nearly killed me...

I REALLY REALLY hope that techland watches this and implements all of these. Some great ideas.

I do think the epilogue is where you can team up with the renegades and unlock their faction. It was also stated that the renegades have inhibitors in them. But I don’t see them coming close to aiden’s feats. They should atleast be stronger than a regular bandit.

I have 40 hours and finished the game and I have yet to see a banshee other than the one in the prologue

Gotta agree with the zombies. When I first saw the banshee in the beginning I was thinking "oh God night is gonna be terrifying! what else will there be!"..... I was only in a chase twice dying my playthrough. Never got past chase level 1. Aidens a super soldier. He could handle a challenge.

i rlly hope that ng+ comes out soon, it would be so nostalgic just to play the story and go over all the choices again or use different ones.

it has a lotta bugs they did delay it like 3 times but ur kinda right tho like if we can wait 3 years then whats the problem with waiting 2 more months?

I totally agree with you. Also the amount how many time you pass out in the end of the game is hilarious. You would imagine that passing out in a zombie apocalypse is a death sentence but not to Aidenbabayden some how.

Thank you!

Things to fix dying light 2: - Have volatiles roam freely during the night but increase there spawn rate the higher your chase level. - More quest and interesting characters for the renegades. - Make the story longer with much better pacing particularly near the end. - Add in volatile nest like the ones they had dying light the following - Have vehicles that you can drive but only in certain districts or zones. - Have a faction reputation system. - More random events. - Bring back wild card factions. - More quest for the sunken part of the city. - Improve the drowner infected don't just make them fast bombers. - Make the players actually care about Mia (I noticed a lot of people didn't which kinda surprised me).

You can tell by the beginning that they came in ambitious and excited to make the game but once you get to the central loop they really rushed the game, the night runner hook basically made the radio tower game feel like a game physics tutorial for a mission that was meant to be hard, hearing the buzz about a volatile nest and only running into a single group a volatiles really was really disappointing and lack of variety in the infected sucked

Happy to see it lol. I love the game but it has problems

To preface, i'm having an absolute blast with the game - it's incredibly fun, and i think they've made great improvements over DL1 in regard to most of the aspects of the game that i really enjoy and care about (DL1 is one of my all-time favourite games). But, absolutely agree with literally everything you said here; perfect summary. All the points you made and suggestions for improvements are things i've thought myself while playing. None of them are game-ruining. They don't make me want to stop playing, but they do break immersion etc. I absolutely wish they would make nighttime 'harder' with more special infected. Love the idea of volatiles roaming the rooftops - great idea! I've actually seen quite a few banshees throughout the game, but i think that's because i always go after the 'special infected' thay appear at nighttime, and whenever a banshee spawns, it feels exactly like a bolter; like 'prey' that i'm supposed to catch (which i usually one/two-shot with my bow) as opposed to something that's hunting me, which is what i want it to be. I want the challenge and the feeling of fear, the feeling that one wrong move will be my demise. Granted as a DL1 vet (max legend rank etc), DL2 was never going to be 'hard'. But it can still *feel* like it's challenging without genuinely being super difficult. Again, having said that, I'm absolutely loving the game and having just as much fun as i was hoping for! Overall, kudos to techland, and can't wait to see what additions the bring to DL2 over time

the ideas you talked about for night time would make night time feel WAY better

I totally agree with your points. I was kinda disapointed about one thing, not being able to choose the audio language on Xbox One. Maybe it will be out later i don't know, but i had to turn my console fully in English to hear Jonah. But i loved this game very much. I'm almost 100 hours now since February 10th. And it's hard for me to stop. I didn't have a lot of bugs besides audio ones on coop and crashes. And yes the epilogue is coming way too early, like it's a lot of information and i didn't wanted it to be over like i was so depressed at the end. It's a true struggle not to do it again lol. But i'm very thankful and happy that Techland is listening to us and to finally be able to play DL2 after almost 7 years of waiting (for me).

Very very true

The banshees never spawned in for me in the first play through but when I started a new game they were everywhere.

The farther I come in the game, the better it gets. They didn't lie when they said there something about swinging a meaty weapon. Almost addictive. And have you tried the Inferno mode with the blast function where you press right trigger and A, (on the Xbox)? I love it. It's powerful. Almost like having a gun. Very helpful.

This review is the best review I ever seen

9:01 - in what world is this kind of encounter an improvement over the 'night time experience' from DL1? "Yeah I'm just gonna float up here for a bit.." followed by the 'air stomp' 🤣

Idk why anyone else hasn’t mentioned it but the volatiles actually do spawn on the rooftops, that is, only after I completed the main mission, I guess that happens as after you complete the main mission the game tells you that combat will be more difficult.

I loved this review really good giving ideas to techland to make this game the ultimate best. Love you Oni i even think youre the best youtuber on terms of dying light 2 . I just want them to fix the grey and frozen AI on ps4 thats all. And i would be very happy, but i think they dont relly care about ps4 and old gen players :(

One thing about the Howler is that I want them to be able to much faster and more easily detect you. And about the chases, each Howler should be able to instantly make the chase jump a level. For example, you started a chase at lvl 1 and you're running around and suddenly you hit another Howler, that Howler should be able to increase your chase level by 1 point instantly. This is such a small feature but would make chases and especially Howlers way more scary.
