If you are a die hard fan of the first game like me then you might be slightlyโฆ disappointed or perhaps confused with DL2. Itโs almost a completely different game. The first one was more of a serious situation, the second game comes off a bit more arcadeโฆ sorta. DL2 is definitely DL1 dressed up like a RPG. I get itโฆ the story takes place 15 years after the event in the first game so the world has found a new way to operate as expressed with the factions and whatnot.
I guess I just miss the realness of the first game: The business types lost on roofs crying because they are cowards and only survived this long because of that fact, the mothers desperately trying to look after their remaining child.
THE FIRST DYING LIGHT WAS COMPLETE GOLD. A rare gem in a sea of fakes, and almost. So to hold anything against the first game is not fair. If you go into this new one understanding that it is a completely different thing then you will not be disappointed. It is a great game.
