If you try to run you will die, if you stand and fight without your UV torch out you will die. The action isn't all about free running. There's also a fair bit of melee combat, complete with cool-looking improvised weaponry and satisfying slow motion head shattering.
There's also a scattering of more explosive weaponry. There is little more satisfying than standing on a rooftop and tossing some firecrackers in to the street to draw in the large herd of stumbling infected and then nonchalantly tossing a Molotov cocktail in to the milling mass and cackling with glee as the fire spreads, clearing out a whole section of road, giving you enough space and time to pick the lock on a police van and claim the goodies inside.
It's also worth noting Dying Light's multiplayer 'be the zombie' mode. Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent. See PlayStation.

Parkour was, as Smektala told me, the thing that Techland thought it could bring to the crowded zombie genre, even beyond games. In Dying Light 2, that signature element seems to be markedly better.
While parkour feels like a strength being made stronger, the first game's story wasn't as impressive, so there's arguably more room for growth with Dying Light 2. Based on my time with it so far, I'd say things are more interesting, even if still a bit uneven. The somewhat muted emotions each character wears on their face is not a new issue to RPGs--Bethesda has been getting by with virtual mannequins for decades--but Dying Light 2 doesn't look like it will break that mold.
Similarly, with so many characters to meet, from merchants to major players and everything in between, I've already seen a wide array of performances and characterizations. I do wish the game would go all-in on its fascinating Modern Dark Ages setting and stick to the more serious stuff, but as before, it seems Techland will mix in plenty of off-beat characters who may screw with the overall tone more than I'd personally enjoy.
Where the story does seem to have improved is in its emphasis on player choices and consequences. This was, by Smektala's account, the hardest part of development, leading me to understand that beyond the ousted writers and covid obstacles, Techland has simply had its hands full trying to keep all possible stories on their tracks. Major choices mostly appear to be binary and often revolve around siding with one of two factions: the ragtag survivors or the authoritative Peacekeepers--PKs for short.
Binary choices can feel a bit dated in given that so many games have moved on to swim in greyer waters, but even if the system isn't revolutionary, it does seem to improve this particular series.
It never allowed for this type of player-agency before, save for a dramatic final scene. Each decision, I was told, changes a great deal of what players can see in the game from that point on. Some characters will simply cease to exist and close off narrative branches for players. On top of altering the story, you'll alter the world around you. An early decision I made would've given me car alarm traps with which I could distract the infected, but as I sided with the survivors, I instead saw ziplines installed across the city.
There seemed to be about 10 major decisions to make according to an unlock tree I saw, meaning going down opposite paths across two playthroughs would result in starkly different cities in the end. Sometimes changes will reveal consequences hours later, which I saw when I made it to the game's second major region, the Central Loop, with its highrise buildings taller than anything the series has ever featured.
Now available in its expanded form, taking the gameplay experience to a brand new level. Features: - Dying Light — the full award-winning game. From new characters and skins, through weapons and blueprints, to new zombie and human enemies, two stylish buggy paint jobs, additional quests, and the Prison Heist game mode.
