There are more options and a greater sense of reaction and response to enemy attacks. There is, at least, a fair bit of improvement to the original game’s melee combat mechanics. It’s a very tense, very dark, very grim game, and while there’s a lot of very beautiful tech on display here - from some environmental destruction, some impressive lighting and shadow effects as Aiden falls into the depths of a sealed off building full of infected and struggles to make it out alive - it looks even more oppressive and brutal than the last game. I’ll stop here to say that “Dying light 2’s” tone and content is, from what I’ve seen, more or less what you might expect from the trailers, or its aesthetic. This being an action adventure game, nothing is ever, ever allowed to go right, and, of course, things go sideways, forcing Aiden to make decisions about whether to chase after a group of assassins or seek medical attention for a leader of the enclave, and Techland quickly made it clear that Aiden’s decisions here are life or death. As Techland’s E3 demo begins, Aiden meets with one group of NPCs that run an independent enclave whose reservoirs are about to go dry, forcing them to make an uneasy truce with a militarized band of survivors sitting on the city’s last source of water. Now, the survivors live precariously - everyone in the city is infected, barely keeping the disease at bay, and slowly running out of resources, particularly water. Granted, in this case, The City is an appropriate name for what may well be the last human settlement on Earth after the events of “Dying Light.” The infection from that game spread beyond the quarantined city that contained it, wiping out most of the Earth’s population. “ Dying light 2” wants to force you to make, substantive, difficult choices you won’t be able to take back.Īt E3 2019, “ Dying Light 2” developer Techland is emphasizing the scale of consequences on the table in their long-in-development sequel to 2014’s “Dying Light.” “Dying light 2’s” main character, Aiden Caldwell (voiced by Troy Baker), will have numerous scenarios put in front of him that might lead not just to character deaths, but also the destruction, or, in some instances, the addition, of new locales, with new effects on the the generically “European” setting of The City.
