I don’t normally leave reviews, but after playing this game and nearly giving up playing it, something I don’t do ever, I felt I should.
My review is based on my gameplay on a PS4, though I have heard the PS5 and Xbox versions share similar issues.
My first real issue with this game is the bugs and glitches. This game is absolutely loaded with them, every time I try to play the game I am bombarded with issues. Getting trapped through a wall, and die because you can’t move, and lose all of your parkour and combat points.
Second issue, how your upgrade equipment. You need an ungodly amount of infected trophies, the uncommon trophies are more rare than the unique trophies.
Third issue, the skills, I felt there was a very limited set of skills that were useful, I have several unused skill points because I don’t need to use them, the skills acquired for those points would remain unused.
My last issue, and this is probably just a console issue, certain buttons do certain functions, but R1 has a dozen functions. Tap R1 to jump, hold R1 for 1.5 seconds longer jump, hold R1 while you jump and you might grab onto a ledge or run across the wall. R1 might be grab onto a ledge or to grab onto a ledge and jump off.
Just my opinion. But Dying light one is one of my all time favorite games, this one doesn’t even come close to the original game in any aspect.
