As a hardcore Dying Light 1 fan, the sequel is mostly OK. The story was pretty boring and the characters weren’t really memorable, but the gameplay was fun. The problem is that after playing the first game for hundreds of hours and waiting patiently for the sequel ever since the trailer dropped (about 3 years of waiting). The game felt underwhelming. If you want to play, get a friend or two in order to have a better and more fun experience and try to get it while it’s on sale.
Personally, I think the first game is better.
