Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a parkour-focused open-world RPG game from Techland. Currently, I’m only a few main missions away from the end of the game. Parkour is the biggest part of this game, and it feels wonderful. I'll never get tired of climbing buildings, jumping across roofs, and zooming across the environment.

I used the glider to enjoy a nice glide back to the ground after reaching its roof, taking in the beautiful surroundings around me. Unfortunately, the combat is unexciting. Blocking, counterattacking, and dodging are all part of the simple melee combat system. This system is not awful, but it's also not that engaging. Unfortunately, the story isn't any better. As a whole, I’ve been disliking it, though this could be due to the fact that I haven’t been able to connect with it. There are still a few hours of story and an ending left ...
