My biggest issue is that you don’t get these straight away, especially the grappling hook. Running across rooftops, using the paraglider, and swinging with the grappling hook is tons of fun. I rarely jumped between Metro Stations to get across the map. When you choose to move across the map without fast travelling, you know it’s got you by the balls.

I always praise Mirror’s Edge for its approach to free running. With some fantastic upgrades to unlock that give you more freedom, the parkour is exhilarating. When you’re finally free to roam about the open world, Dying Light 2 is liberating. Whomever you side with, the developers want you to live with your actions. Having these difficult choices make you feel responsible for the fate of the city. It’s clear Techland wanted to tell a more personal and engaging story than the last. On more than one occasion, I genuinely struggled to know what to do for the best. The decisions you make have plenty of weight. The villain, Waltz, is a fascinating man that has ulterior motives, but shares a deep connection with Aiden that culminates in a big plot twist towards the end. He’s seen some shit, and has a hard time seeing a future that isn’t as messed up as the present is. She’s vulnerable, but has a big heart and plays an integral role in Aiden’s story.įrank is a deflated and jaded guy who doesn’t trust easily.
Lawan (voiced wonderfully by Rosario Dawson) is a bitter soul. The most interesting characters are the ones you build relationships with. However, as you speak to people and build friendships, the narrative becomes expansive and engaging. Arriving in the city as a pilgrim (a nomadic explorer), it takes a lot for people to trust you. The protagonist is still as generic as they come, but his journey to find his sister is one that keeps you hooked until the end. Dying Light 2: A much better storyĭying Light 2 features characters you care about. It’s a product of a lengthy development process, one that makes you wonder why it took so long. That’s not to say it isn’t an improvement on the original, but the visuals do feel somewhat dated. It could’ve quite easily released a few years ago. One thing I felt throughout the entire playthrough was that it doesn’t feel like a next-gen title. While the story was generic and predictable, it had responsive controls and plenty to do. Its predecessor was a fun open world action RPG that relied on fluent parkour and combat to survive the night and save the world. For nearly four years, the world has known about Dying Light 2.
