Honestly I found it pretty enjoyable. The story isn’t much to write home about but the parkour movement and just traversing the open world and bashing zombies is a great gameplay loop and it’s pretty fun. Missions and objectives are varied enough to be consistently fun and exploration is enjoyable. I recommend it.

MODERATORS
Imho the parkour feels smoother than Dying Light 1.
The game in general is way less challenging than 1 and combat balance is super easy to break to the point that before I'd even finished the story I was easily one-shotting volatiles with an axe.
The protagonist (Aiden) is bisexual and there's a whole bunch of queer characters all over, which is something I really didn't expect out of a zombie FPS.
Guns are a tacked on mess they introduced long after release and it feels kinda weird to have only Aiden using them.
The main storyline is mid and the conflict between the two main factions is really generic authoritarians Vs plucky individualists sorta thing.
The DLC story feels like it was pulled from an entirely different, goofier, setting and while I liked it, the tone shift is really jarring.
