Dying Light pairs the best first-person parkour in gaming with a terrifying day-night cycle that makes Harran feel alive and dangerous in equal measure, and while its story stumbles through familiar zombie tropes, the sheer thrill of its movement and combat loop keeps players coming back years after release.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human offers some of the best first-person parkour in gaming and a sprawling open world that rewards vertical exploration. The co-op experience remains a blast, and years of post-launch updates have smoothed out the roughest edges. But the story never finds its footing, the choice system fails to deliver on its ambitious promises, and combat can feel repetitive over the long haul. Players who loved the original's movement and want more of it will find plenty to enjoy here. Those expecting a meaningful narrative or deep RPG systems will come away disappointed.
