Combat is tense and bloody, with the same sense of weight as the traversal, forcing the player to get close to strike enemies, then dodge out of their way to avoid attacks.
While a lot of conflict can be resolved with pacifism and trade, Aiden is a skilled fighter often backed into a corner. This variety is key to the success of Dying Light 2, which is constantly evolving and rewarding the player with new experiences. Running and jumping as Aiden is effortless, as every movement feels precise and powerful, boasting an amazing sense of weight as, say, he bounds from one rooftop to the next. Parkour has been so thoroughly refined here that the game laps not only the original Dying Light but both Mirrors Edge titles, which are built solely around freerunning.
Outside of the branching narrative, Dying Light 2’s core gameplay is divided between traversal and combat. Aiden’s skills are invaluable to each faction, and each are willing to trade information for his help, leaving the player to decide who to ally with in pursuit of his quest. But within those walls, he finds himself in the middle of a conflict between warring factions trying to take control of the City and its resources. Outside of the City’s walls, Aiden is a Pilgrim, a courier in the Death Stranding mold, employed by survivors to deliver packages between the last human settlements. Set 20 years after the events of Dying Light, the sequel finds Aiden coming to the City in order to find information about the sister he was separated from during childhood. This concludes the morally reflective side quest, one that hints at the refreshing ideas and directions that makes Dying Light 2: Stay Human such a uniquely exceptional sequel. Aiden, a mercenary and survivalist, gears up to track down the culprit, but the victim stands in his way, explaining that he’d be happier to just go on living peacefully than take part in revenge, and then simply leaves. In the City, the game’s zombie-infested post-apocalyptic open world, water is a precious resource, and this survivor has had his water and fish stolen by a bandit. Early in Dying Light 2: Stay Human, Aiden Caldwell (voiced by Jonah Scott) has a chance encounter with a distraught person who’s been the victim of a robbery.
