The writer for dying light was let go for good reason and he was the main talent. This is why dying light two was so plain story wise because the replacement writer wasn’t up to the task.
No reason to hype that the beast writer is up to the task also. Only time will tell.
I survived it for a few hours but ultimately succumbed to your issue exactly but with the added annoyance of having to get in and out of the car repeatedly. Not my game either…
