While running from point A to point B is not a hugely inventive or engaging objective, Dying Light 2's parkour mechanics ensure that players are having as much fun as possible when they're performing these tedious tasks. But that doesn't mean there isn't some fun to be had. Character personalities and opinions of Aiden swing dramatically from one end of the spectrum to the other in a way that feels abrupt, unnatural, and unearned.īetween the excessive talking and the repetitive objectives, with players often tasked with running from point A to talk to one character then to point B to talk to another character, Dying Light 2's campaign is a mess. Along with the poorly-written and endless dialogue, there are some strange logic jumps in the story that don't do it any favors when it comes to getting players immersed in the game world. But despite some of the actors' best efforts, the Dying Light 2 script is beyond saving. Jonah Scott of Beastars fame provides the voice of Aiden and does a great job delivering his lines, and Rosario Dawson does well in her role as Aiden's ally Lawan. Sitting through Dying Light 2's dialogue is a chore, though the actors do what they can with what they're given to work with. The characters Aiden interacts with throughout the main quest aren't much better, with players meeting one bland side character after another, all of whom talk a lot but never seem to have anything interesting to say. It presents a mystery that players won't care to solve, with some predictable "twists" thrown in that will have most players rolling their eyes.ĭying Light 2's main story quests are a slog, largely thanks to its uninspired main character, who is completely unmemorable. Aiden's memories about his childhood are fuzzy, with details filled in through flashbacks that do nothing to make players emotionally invested in his plight or care about his sister. The sequel stars generic protagonist Aiden, whose goal is to find his missing sister that he hasn't seen in decades. Anyone hoping for Dying Light 2 to rectify those issues will be sorely disappointed. The original Dying Light earned mixed reviews at the time of its release for a variety of reasons, including its weak story and poorly-written characters. Now, seven years after the launch of the original game, Techland is back with Dying Light 2, a sequel that, unfortunately, fails to impress. It ended up releasing a new kind of open world zombie experience called Dying Light, which retained the quest structure and action-RPG elements from Dead Island, but added an impressive parkour mechanic to vastly improve player mobility. After the commercial success of Dead Island, all eyes were on developer Techland to see how it would follow up its popular open world zombie game.
