In the video, Hitman89 reviews "Dying Light 2," highlighting both its improvements and ongoing issues after two years of updates. Graphical enhancements are modest, particularly on consoles, but the game is still plagued by numerous bugs, poor AI, and a poorly written story featuring an unremarkable protagonist named Aiden. The skill tree system initially restricts basic gameplay features, and co-op mode suffers from significant synchronization problems. The PS5 version's New Game Plus mode is appreciated for its unlocked skills and tools, along with improved combat animations and added features like guns. Nighttime gameplay has become more dangerous, especially with the presence of more volatiles, and the drop kick mechanic is notably enjoyable. Despite these upgrades, the first 10 hours can be tedious for new players. Overall, while the core gameplay can eventually be enjoyable, Hitman89 concludes with a rating of 6.5 out of 10, advising potential buyers to consider waiting for a discount due to ongoing bugs and narrative flaws.
