![]() ![]() Shortly after that, you get your bacon saved by a smooth-talking survivor and resident of the next area you’ve entered, known as the ‘Bazaar’, and notes that the citizens of the area almost executed you due to not having a ‘bio-marker’, an essential tool for all citizens, whom are also all infected just like you, to track the progress of the infection and has to suppress it using UV light and/or inhibitors.Įventually, you do get a bio-marker and shortly after that you are put at a crossroads: You find out that both sides of Villedor, the survivor group of Bazaar, and the ‘Peacekeepers’, a militaristic group whose sole purpose is to keep Villedor safe by any means necessary. After that, the informant gives us a working GRE key that allows us to open up areas that cannot be accessed through traditional means and unlocking some high-value materials, resources, and loot. However, very early on, Aiden is bitten by a variant of a zombie known as a ‘volatile’, and is infected for the rest of the game (more on that later!) until the informant comes along and save him from certain death and them thrusting you into a short tutorial on basic human-to-human NPC combat mechanics. Spike later tells us that he cashed in all of his favors and tells Aiden that he came into contact with a man who has information about Waltz and possibly his sister’s location. Waltz, a doctor who experimented and tortured children like them, and will not stop at anything to find both of them, dead or otherwise. During this time, you are put in a tutorial session where you progress throughout the beginning hours of the game on how to harvest materials and craft items, the basics of combat, and how to maneuver around the environment like the world’s most dangerous game of ‘floor is lava’.ĭuring this time, you also find out Aiden’s main intention for the game: Searching for his sister that he was separated from at a young age, and Dr. Pilgrims are individuals in the world who roam around the zombie-infested world with no permanent home and just getting by with their years of experience in surviving in the open world all on their own. After your close shave with death, you are greeted by longtime friend Spike, a pilgrim like you. The opening parts of the game starts out with you the player, Aiden Caldwell, is running away from the group of zombies and just barely escaping from them. ![]() Thankfully this wasn’t the case and the entirety of Dying Light 2 takes place years after the first Dying Light. I was scared that since I didn’t play the original game, I would feel left behind on the lore and the events that happened in the first one. Even though I haven’t played the original Dying Light game released back in 2015, I now understand the well-deserved hype behind it and why the sequel won the Grand Winner prize in the 2022 NYX Game Awards. And I’m grateful that I came in with no expectations, because Dying Light 2: Stay Human gave me a brand new and unique experience that I desperately needed in the zombie genre. When I was asked to playtest Dying Light 2: Stay Human with a PC review code submitted from an entry submission from Techland, a Polish game developer, I came in with little to no information other than watching the trailers. ![]() The thing is, though, that throughout the years, I have already played many PVE games that are just better in every other way in terms of challenge and gameplay. I enjoyed both of the Left 4 Dead games, the Dead Rising series at its absolute peak in popularity, Zombi U when the Wii U came out, the first Dead Island game still remains as one of my favorite zombie games to this day, and I’ve always looked forward to a zombies game mode in every yearly release of the Call of Duty games. I already had my fun with a good selection of zombie games for a time. Being all alone with nothing but your gear about to crumble and standing in front of a horde of thousands of enemies is a fantasy that we all would like to experience at some point in our lives. Yes, the appeal of the whole one-versus-all concept is extremely appealing to most of us gamers, and I can’t fault that. I’m going to be brutally honest with you: Zombie games? Definitely not my thing. ![]()
