The parkour zombie sequel has come along in leaps and bounds since its release two years ago.
There’s a visceral kind of joy to bounding over the heads of the walking dead like they’re squishy little stepping stones in a rancid pond, before leaping off the last one in the crowd to land a wrasslin’-style double-legged dropkick to the face of a Howler. That’s just one of the reasons why Dying Light 2 remains one of the best co-op zombie-slaying games out there (and that’s not for lack of stiff competition, because the allure of zombie games, like their subject matter, is undying).
Now, with the game celebrating its 2nd birthday, developer Techland has released Dying Light 2: Reloaded Edition, which bundles in all existing DLC and updates for the game, along with a new Firearms Update. The game is also running a Free Weekend on Steam right now, so you can paraglide in to see what all the hype is about for yourself.
The Reloaded Edition is the best way to experience Dying Light 2. It comes with the Bloody Ties DLC for a start, which sends you to the new setting of Carnage Hall to prove your mettle in a fighting tournament. Inevitably, the action spills out of the arena, as you get embroiled in a high-stakes story of power and betrayal.
Beyond that, the Reloaded Edition will also get you access to new Survivor Missions and Board Quests, which will give you a substantial new supply of expeditions to head out on in the city. that have been added to the game these past two years. The game’s receiving a bit of a facelift too, with higher-quality textures, new skyboxes, and improved environmental storytelling; you’ll even notice the zombies looking a little better (or, well, worse, depending on how you look at it).
