Dying Light 2 features a map four times bigger than its previous one, intriguing mechanics and lots of ways to bash heads of zombies. As stated by Techland it will take around 500 hours of grinding to fully complete DL 2. This includes all the story quests, side missions, and exploring the entirety of the game.
