is the second game a sequel?

and it's as good as the first one?

(I can't ask this in the Dying Light 2 discussion section because I don't have)

Depends, really. it has the same sort of issue as dying light 1 where the story kinda sucks, although the problem is much worse. the combat is on par with the original tho.

Like, story wise? It’s set two decades later -- after the fall of humanity. There are a few minor references here and there, but nothing pivotal.

As for how it compares to the original, it’s made significant strides since launch -- though it started off much rougher than the first game, it’s improved over time, much like the original did. You can’t go wrong with the second game, but don’t expect it to completely reinvent the Dying Light experience for you. :)

the story of the both the games is pretty mid honestly, dl2 has way better and improved mechanics than dying light 1 now, since the devs actually cared and gave alot of updates, its pretty good i'd say, the combat is also better than dl1

I skipped DL2, and I don't think it's much of a direct sequel to DL1 (which I loved).

I'm going to wait and see what the reviews are for the next one (DL The Beast) and buy it if it looks good. At least Crane reappears in that one.

Let me explain this in a simple way.
DL 1: Zombie game with parkour
DL 2: Parkour game with zombies

The graphics in DL2 have no personality. It has the same washed out look that a lot of newer games have that try to pass them off as looking more realistic. This game is more vibrant and memorable. I just can't get into DL2. I keep coming back to the original.

It is not the sequel. It is absolutely new story, it has nothing to do with the story of the first game.

ikr? it makes everything that HAS color look super out of place and almost oversaturated

DL2 is trash

[Sir Cats Meow]

I played DL2 day one and have had 2 playthroughs; I'd list DL2 as bad s*x.
It starts off great, feels amazing, but then it drags on too long and you notice all the issues, how it doesn't /feel/ right, how it wasn't as good as the last time, etc.

ok thanks everyone

The melee hit detection is way worse on dying light two then dying light 1..

The guy swings his weapon at a group of zombies but then stops halfway when it hits the first zombie on dying light 2 (say there's four zombies in front of me I would only be able to hit two of them).

On dying light 1 The character would swing his weapon through all the zombies in front of him..(there is four zombies in front of me I'm able to hit all four of them).

Dying light one I am able to swing a single-handed weapon and hit zombies 140° radius in front of me..

Dying light 2 I am able to swing a single-handed weapon only I'd say 90° radius in front of me.
