However, the game’s assorted sidequests, while entertaining, can veer into campiness, which can create a distracting tonal clash. The main questline of Dying Light 2 often felt grounded and even depressing in preview, something the more horrific-looking zombies and overgrown locales reflect. Like with many things in Dying Light 2, the decision is yours, and there will be consequences. Choose the more aggressive Peacekeepers to spread car traps throughout The City, or side with the less-lethal Survivors to line buildings with handy ziplines. I was also shown a power plant, which contained a fun chord puzzle and enough electricity to send power upgrades to one of the two factions. I was told that a decision made earlier on in the story would have veered the narrative in a direction separate from the hours I had experienced to that point. This led to a fight with Hermann, one of Dying Light 2’s most interesting characters and a gentle giant I had no interest in killing. I thought this would mean a closer alliance with the Survivors, but my decision meant my favored faction found out I was communicating with the enemy behind their backs. One decision saw me choosing to aid Survivors Barney and Sophie instead of continuing my primary mission to meet up with Aitor of the Peacekeepers.

Even the PlayStation 4 Pro version, which I spent around a half hour with, looked great, albeit at a lower frame rate.Īs Aiden, you steer the course of the story with choices large and small, sometimes with unpredictable consequences. Some far-out views could look muddy, and facial animations were sometimes slightly awkward - but most of Dying Light 2 looks and sounds so good that blemishes are forgivable. I left wanting to know more about them, thanks in no small part to Techland’s often astonishing presentation. Even jackass characters like Barney have a mischievous side that teases something below the surface. Great!Īiden seems fine as a character, but the rest of the cast, like Sophie, Hermann, and Carl, really drew me in. Also, Aiden is infected and could turn at any minute. Things are not looking good for the Survivors and Peacekeepers, two of The City’s leading factions, as they are both lacking resources and not on friendly terms. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a parkour-savvy pilgrim looking for his sister, Mia, in The City, humanity’s last hope for civilization. No one played Dying Light for its story, yet it’s seemingly become a key feature in Dying Light 2, because the small cast of characters I met during my preview session gave me more to chew on than the entirety of Dying Light.

And in order to find out how it all actually plays, I went hands-on with Dying Light 2 on PC for about four hours of preview.
Notably, story has been given greater emphasis in pre-release footage, with Techland promising a narrative that can unfold with what seems to be hundreds of different possibilities. Techland has aimed to make Dying Light 2 Stay Human a much more ambitious follow-up to its 2015 open-world parkour zombie mashup.
