#DYING LIGHT 2 REVIEW SERIES#

There are standout characters that you will begin to care for with backstories spanning years prior to your arrival in the city, and with optional dialogue, you'll often find yourself digging into their pasts to get a better sense of what came before. In fact, while the branching narrative is certainly flawed, it is a marked improvement on the excessively dull story of its predecessor. Siding with the Survivors is nearly always recommended, purely because it makes traversing the city that bit easier.Д¬ome For The Zombies, Stay For The CharactersДЄll of that isn't to say Dying Light 2's story is all bad. Where it is supposed to indicate who runs each district, in reality it's just aligned with whichever perk you prefer from each offering. This disappointing lack of obvious impact trickles down into side content such as electrical or water power points, which allow you to assign control to one of the game's two factions. And even on a simpler level, having a Telltale-like 'X will remember that' warning system would have been a warmly welcomed addition to help keep track of how your choices were impacting the narrative. Techland is clearly going for a dynamic system where you can chop and change sides, but more often than not the system proves to be lacking the nuance and complexity that it really needs.
