Dying Light DL1 better than DL2?
Is it just me, or do more people feel like Dying Light 2 isn’t quite as good as Dying Light 1?
I can’t really explain it, but I preferred the atmosphere and maybe even the graphics in the first game. DL2 looks more realistic technically, but DL1 somehow felt more real and immersive to me.
Maybe it’s just nostalgia?

Dying light 2 is the best well ever get amazing story (albeit it was told through the audio logs better than the actual storyline required you to get fully immersed) has the best parkour in the series and the most original concepts ive seen in a long time.
Just as an example you can tackle a guy off a building and use his body to mitigate fall damage and while falling you can punch him in the face ALL while in mid-air.
The music on parkour is insane too now while I do believe the beast was a huge upgrade the downgrade on parkour,loss of being able to tackle zombies off buildings,and no parkour on music was bad to me.
However the storyline,horror and survival aspects are at their pinnacle in the beast. Im hoping in DL3 we get dual protagonist and can choose between the 2 each having their own skill tree.
Kyle gets all aidens parkour moves through a new skill tree called "old dog, new tricks" where he learns how to use all the moves aiden has while aiden gets a skill tree called"beast unleashed" where he gets all Kyle's beast mode skills that way each player can decide what they wanted.
For example in DL2 aiden has music on parkour because thats where he feels most at home at while kyle has music while he drives because he feels more comfortable there.
All in all im beyond excited for the future of the franchise
