Is Dying Light 2 worth it? (sopuli.xyz)

I used to love the eery atmosphere and immersiveness of the first installment, but I remember missing these aspects from DL 2 at launch day (pirated it), but I wanna buy it at the summer sale perhaps now.

If anyone played DL 2 recently, did the game get some more immersive improvements or perhaps are there mods that can make it have a more atmospheric feeling?

DL2 really loses the immersion and atmosphere that made the first soar.

The parkour and melee combat is improved from the first, but I know some people will be put off by the lack of guns though for me that was never an issue.

The new mechanic with the infection thing is annoying as hell.

It did get an update that added the original darkness of the first game but with the differences in gameplay it doesn't really do much to improve the game.

I just remembered getting through a few days before I just realized I wasn't enjoying the game.

In terms of darkness do you mean how the night system worked in DL 1 and how brutal the volatiles were?

Strictly a visual change, nothing more.
