Players meet different factions and have to make decisions that fundamentally change the state of the game's world and how non-playable characters view Aiden. As the player explores the city, they will find inhibitors, which can be used to increase Aiden's health or stamina.

Players can activate windmills to attract survivors and merchants to set up settlements. When exploring the city, players can scavenge for scrap and resources to craft new items and weapons. The map, which is four times bigger than the first game, is broken into seven distinct regions and each has its own landmarks and locations. The game is set in the city of Villedor, a massive urban open world set in Europe that players can explore freely. During the latter time of day, players can avoid zombies roaming the streets by staying on rooftops, who would otherwise hibernate inside buildings to avoid sunlight or explore the safe interior of buildings to find items. Like the first game, the zombies are slow when exposed to sunlight, but they become more aggressive and hostile at night. Aiden can utilize superhuman skills due to the infection. Weapons can be upgraded with different blueprints and components which can be found by breaking down weapons for craft parts. Long-range weapons such as crossbows, shotguns, and spears can be used as well. The melee weapons have a limited lifespan and will degrade as the player uses them in combat. The game is mostly melee-based with the majority of fighting using melee weapons. Aiden can also use the undead to break his fall. Tools such as a grappling hook and a paraglider also aid traversal in the city. It was confirmed that there are over 3000 parkour animations to give a more fluid free-running experience. Players can perform actions such as climbing ledges, sliding, leaping off from edges, and wall running to quickly navigate the city. Set 22 years after Dying Light, it stars a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell (voiced by Jonah Scott), who has various parkour skills. Aiden uses a paraglider to quickly traverse the city.ĭying Light 2: Stay Human is an action role-playing survival horror video game featuring a zombie apocalyptic-themed open world.
