Dying Light 2 Stay Human is the sequel to 2015’s hit zombie game, taking everything we loved about the original and taking it to the next level.
This time around, you step into the shoes of Aiden, a pilgrim wandering the infected world as a post-apocalyptic Amazon driver, in search of his long-lost sister Mia.
It’s set in the walled city of Villador, the sprawling post-apocalyptic cityscape that’s humanity’s last stronghold – the problem is, zombies roam the open world too.

It is here that the Parkour upgraded really shines, providing a fast and completely fun way to navigate the environment.
Combat is equally satisfying with an ever-growing roster of melee weapons, customizable using the scrap you pick up as you explore. Do you want a hammer that breathes fire and knocks enemies on impact? Dying Light 2 has it.
The story is more engaging than ever, with more player decisions than I’ve seen in a game in a long time, and these can impact the overall story, so you better watch out.
The only downside is that there are large areas of the map (which can be seen with binoculars on tall buildings) that are inaccessible at launch, in the form of paid DLC later. The first, titled Bloody Ties, is coming to consoles and PC in October.
