The much-hyped Dying Light 2 released to a mixed reception, with detractors lamenting the floaty feeling behind principal feature, it’s parkour. A shallow story and smattering of bugs also disappointed many. Whilst the former is largely set in stone, Techland have released a mountain of updates in the years since which brought many players who initially bounced back into fold: weightier free running, more visceral animations, sleeker combat, and a handful of new story elements means Dying Light 2 is worthy of a second chance.
