Dying Light 2: Stay Human is the follow-up to Techland’s 2015 release of the same name, and from what we’ve seen in our review of the game, it confidently leaps into the zombie genre with only occasional missteps.

While the first game was set in the fictional Middle Eastern city of Harran, Dying Light 2takes place inside the walls of Villedor, a central European settlement, 15 years after a viral outbreak that has turned the world’s population into zombies.

We’ve had our fill of zombie-related games sure, but what sets Dying Light 2 apart is its parkour-like traversal system. In a focus on fight-or-flight, moving through the destroyed city of Villedor with wall runs, paragliding and rail vaults is just as valuable as standing your ground to fight off the infected.

In a recent tweet, the official social media account for Dying Light 2 claimed that to complete the game 100 per cent, it would require 500 hours of gameplay, so expect plenty of content.

If you want to find out more about where you can buy Dying Light 2 and what content to expect after launch, then read on.
