Below, we go over 12 tips and tricks to keep in mind when first heading into Dying Light 2's open world. These include building classes, how to most easily level up, where to best spend your hard-earned skill points, and more.

In GameSpot's Dying Light 2: Stay Human review, Mark Delaney writes, "Dying Light 2 is a perplexing game. Its story and characters are headache-inducing, and it appears to lack polish in many areas. But even a dozen hours after I rolled credits, I've found myself going back to the game to do another parkour challenge, rummage through another abandoned science lab, or just see if I can get from Point A to Point B without ever hitting the ground. It's rough around the edges and it asks players to invest a lot in its weakest element, but once you realize the story, like gravity, is only going to pull you down, you can begin to defy it and enjoy the things Dying Light 2 actually does well."
