Finally, us small indie publishers can play the game and put together our thoughts. A full review is coming within 1-2 weeks, but until then I wanted to share initial impressions after a few hours of playtime. Usual disclaimer: You can tell a lot about most games within the first few hours of play. My first impressions of Dying Light 2, however, are going to be missing a fair amount of content just because the prologue is more like a Final Fantasy game than a zombie-themed FPS (in this case, First Person Smasher). Let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dying Light 2: Bugs-a-plenty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Literally every large open world game will have numerous bugs at launch: That’s not something limited to Cyberpunk 2077’s rocky launch<\/a>. I’ve basically encountered the standard amount, which is enough to be noticeable and (mostly) easily replicated. Parkour can be buggy; I’ve had it somehow slide me up a tree as I walked up to it, my mouse wheel doesn’t function (which is absolutely critical in order to change quick access items, so I’m unable to heal unless I rebind the keys), and one really, really bad bug for stealth..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was NOT intending to get wrapped up fighting a bunch of undead here..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

..I’ve had my controls freeze multiple times for no obvious reason. The worst was when I was in the hospital and was sneaking through a group of infected; right when I was getting spotted by one doing a patrol path my controls froze, not allowing me to step back to my hiding spot. These freezes appear to be triggered by in-game events, and not a random occurrence, and there was no storytelling magic here trying to make me fight these foes.. That, or it was really ham-fisted in it’s delivery, because it FELT like a bug. Thanks to a lack of manual saves, I’m not going to be able to replicate that unless I replay the game from the beginning.. Which I don’t want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
