![]() ![]() Above the corpse-littered streets on mossy rooftop terraces, children play and attend school lush gardens grow crops of food and medicinal ingredients and countless quest-givers loiter, waiting for a willing pilgrim to take on some task that inevitably requires the cricket bat to the head of some feral creature.īecause of the hazards on the streets, it’s best to stick to the high ground. You see, the streets and sewers of the city are teeming with zombies, so most people have taken to the relative safety of the city’s skyline to survive. It was a great setting and an absolute joy to traverse either on foot or in your trusty buggy, which was introduced in the game’s excellent DLC, “ The Following.” Make no mistake, Dying Light 2 still offers a vast world to explore, but it focuses much more on verticality this time around. When it was released in 2015, Dying Light featured plenty of wide-open valleys and tracts of lush Turkish farmland to explore. While the rooftops serve as sanctuary to the living, Villedor’s streets belong to the walking dead. Still, I’ll be damned if I won’t sing the gospel of a stationary cannon that can reduce even the nastiest Volatiles to twitching gristle. After all, I may not be crazy about the jackbooted PK’s ideology. Overall, I loved this feature and found it quite tough to choose which faction to help more. They’ll add more zip lines around the city, launch pads you can use to get a boost, and even heavy bags that you can snatch from atop a building and use to cushion your fall when you land. On the other hand, Survivor bonuses tend to augment your traversal abilities. For example, you’ll be able to set off car bombs to eradicate groups of ghouls patrolling the streets or trigger electrical traps to unleash a shocking surprise upon your foes. ![]() Entrusting structures to the Peacekeepers generally rewards you with more offensive options. Once liberated, you’ll be able to assign them to either the Peacekeepers or Survivors to receive various rewards that make getting around town easier. Structures such as windmills and electrical substations are scattered across Villedor. Throughout the game’s campaign, you’ll have to decide which of these two groups you’ll side with on your quest to find Mia, with your decisions not only ultimately shaping the game’s ending, but the city itself. Without going into spoilers, after arriving in town, Aiden quickly finds himself thrust into the middle of the conflict between these two rival parties. One of humanity’s last strongholds, Villedor is governed by two warring factions: the Survivors, everyday people just trying to make it in a ruined world turned upside down by the viral upbreak that’s transformed most of the world’s population into flesh-crazed ghouls, and the Peacekeepers, an authoritarian group of former soldiers whose obsession with law and order borders on fascistic. After receiving a tip that she may have ended up in the city of Villedor, Aiden sets off for the crumbling European metropolis to uncover the mystery behind his sister’s whereabouts. Set 20 years after the previous game’s events, Dying Light 2 puts players in control of Aiden Caldwell, a pilgrim who has been wandering the wasteland for years searching for his missing sister, Mia. The Survivors are the first faction you’ll encounter in Dying Light 2. ![]()
