With a medieval vibe to the city, it feels like you’ve stepped into a fantasy game, akin to The Elder Scrolls or Fallout, and is therefore more memorable and less bleak than the majority of fictional post-apocalyptic wastelands.

With the zombie outbreak occurring several years ago, survivors have begun to rebuild the city with towering windmills acting as the main source of power and a cathedral converted into a community hotspot that’s crammed full of families, traders and sketchy thugs.
In the meantime, Aiden finds himself embroiled with the conflicts of various factions in a fictional European metropolis, completing quests in return for information on Waltz’s whereabouts. This central story thread is pretty simple, progressing at a snail’s pace throughout the 30-hour campaign. The two siblings are eventually separated, with Aiden spending the rest of his life attempting to track down his sister, while also obsessively seeking revenge on Waltz.

A series of corny flashbacks show us that a barbaric scientist called Waltz conducted scientific experiments on both Aiden and Mia when they were young. Storyĭying Light 2 focuses on a new protagonist called Aiden, who is roaming the post-apocalyptic world in search of his sister Mia. After hitting the credits with 33-hours of gameplay under my belt, here are my thoughts. This may sound very familiar to those who have played the original Dying Light, but with a brand new story and protagonist, as well as a greater focus on action over horror, Dying Light 2 feels like a very different beast. There’s even a day-night cycle in play here, with zombies becoming more hostile and dangerous at night, and hiding inside buildings during the day to prevent you from scavenging loot. You wouldn’t expect a zombie game to feature one of the absolute best first-person perspective platforming yet, but here we are. With the undead roaming the streets, the best option for survival is to stick to the rooftops, allowing you to leap from building to building, and climb the tallest skyscrapers in sight. Dying Light 2 may look like your average zombie slayer on the surface, but it stands out from the likes of Resident Evil Village and Back 4 Blood by featuring a fleshed-out parkour system.
