Dying Light 1 was fun. Lots of fun actually. I had great time playing it and I loved almost everything about it. With Dying Ligh 2: Stay Human, this isn't the case. While it's an enjoyable game, it reminded me why I stopped playing such games altogether.
Although the game has seen big improvements with the latest updates, the gameplay just makes you mad all the time. The third time I got mad, I've just uninstalled it from my PC, saying goodbye once and for all. I'll never download it again, even if they improve it. And - of course - I'll probably never buy anything from the same company again.
A good example: As you play and unlock more and more skills, you have a few options such as "press space to jump even higher". It never does that. Sometimes it does that out of the blue. It says "tap E to jump higher". Never does that either.
The grappling hook is also a big mess. It just never works as you'd expect, and sometime you find yourself dying again and again over a wrong jump just because you accidentally removed it as an option when using the mouse's wheel.
A game should be fun, not making its players angrier and angrier over little things such as double clicking the space and just never working, or not being able to use the grappling hook because the mouse wheel just keeps removing it. There were lots of times that I was thinking if the developers actually played the game by their self.
Such a bad gameplay for such a good game.
