    • “A game with nice graphics, detailed characters, and textures.”

    • “For a $7 game, I wouldn't expect the ultra graphic setting to be worse than 7 Days to Die.”
    • “A good survival game for such a price with acceptable graphics, but it could use improvement.”
  • optimization6 mentions

    Overall, players express mixed feelings about the game's optimization, noting significant issues that hinder performance, especially in early access. While some appreciate the graphics and gameplay, many hope for improvements in optimization before the full release, as current settings often require lower performance than anticipated. Despite these concerns, a few users found the optimization better than expected given the game's early stage.

    • “But the benefit of the game is in early access; I hope the release will be at a good level of optimization so that I can return and enjoy this wonderful game without freezes.”
    • “The game, though in early access, has pleased me with its monsters, weapons, graphics, and optimization; I thought it would be much worse.”
    • “Good optimization and nice graphics.”
    • “Given that this game came out less than 2 weeks ago, I can forgive the poor optimization forcing you to keep settings lower than expected.”
    • “The requirements of this game also gave a pleasant impression; at 21 years old, such games require one and a half, or even twice as much performance from your hardware.”
  • story6 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of clarity and direction, leaving players feeling lost and frustrated due to numerous bugs and glitches that hinder progress.

    • “I'd say hold off on your purchase if you're thinking about buying this game until the developer fixes issues with it, if at all, because the previous patches didn't do anything and created more bugs or glitches instead.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players have noted that while "Dying Light 2" starts off engaging, it quickly devolves into a repetitive grinding experience, likening it to a walking simulator. Additionally, some have mentioned an annoying grinding noise during the initial moments of gameplay.

    • “When you first start this, it will play and feel great, but slowly you will realize that this game is just a grinding and walking simulator.”
    • “My rig can easily handle Dying Light 2, but I have to sit through a loud grinding noise in the first 15 minutes of playthrough.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization of the game is perceived as a cash grab, typical of many early access titles, but its low price point of $5 makes it more palatable to players.

    • “I feel this game is nothing more than a cash grab like so many other early access games.”
