Dying Light 2 Stay Human is an action game that continues the events of the first part. After 15 years of fighting the virus, the disease began to win again. People managed to close themselves in the last major city, isolating themselves from the outside world. Despite the absence of a deadly virus here, the number of victims is constantly growing.
The city is mired in an internal struggle for vital resources and power. Civilization itself has slipped into the distant Middle Ages, but hope for a return to better times still glimmers in the eyes of dreamers. You will get the role of a real wanderer who has exceptional features.
| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is supported Windows 10/11.
The priority and main graphics API for Serious Dying Light 2: Stay Human is DX11/DX12.
| GAME ENGINE |
Dying Light is based on the Chrome Engine. Chrome Engine is a series of game engines developed and supported by the Polish company Techland. The first version of the engine was developed in 2003 for use in Techland’s own fantasy 3D first-person shooter “Chrome”. Later, the engine was successfully used by the company in games of other genres, not limited to shooters.
The 1C company licensed the engine to developers collaborating with it, as a result of which it was used in the “Full Drive” series of car simulators, as well as in the games “Expedition Trophy: Murmansk-Vladivostok”, “Black Sea Motor Rally” and “GM Rally”. Another company, City Interactive, which develops and publishes games, uses Chrome in most of its own developments. For example, in the shooters Code of Honor, The Hell in Vietnam, Mortyr 3, Sniper: Ghost Warrior, etc.
“Chrome Engine” is constantly being improved and refined by the developer company. There are currently six versions of the game engine.

Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes of 1920×1080, 2560×1600 and 3840×2160 high DX11, high DX12, ray tracing and high quality ray tracing graphics quality settings. DLSS и FSR tested during setup quality.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GTX video cards are provided by LLC Business Development Center.
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920×1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
