Games like Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition
Discover new adventures that match what you love.
Open WorldActionChoicesCo-op
A city you re-plumb with your choices: assign districts to factions and watch ziplines or car traps reshape your parkour lines, while paraglider flow turns Villedor into a vertical playground. Years of updates made the sequel the definitive modern package.
Similar-game research
Dying Light 2 ties parkour, melee, and a ruined city together: you pick routes in daylight, decide whether night is worth the risk, and faction choices can alter districts with ziplines and traps. These games retain its movement, dangerous journeys, or open-world combat in different measures; none carries all three across unchanged.

Rise of the Ronin
Open WorldActionRPGPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Rooftops, a glider, and Yokohama's verticality make route choice part of travel, while counter-spark duels retain some of Dying Light 2's close-range tension.
- Choose it when
- Pick it when you want to keep moving through an open space and practicing melee reactions, but prefer a clearer story and mission structure.
- But
- It trades a zombie apocalypse for Bakumatsu characters and missions. Combat cares more about blade timing, with no night chase, scavenging loop, or co-op city survival.
Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT
Open WorldActionAdventurePublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Riding across wide country, following the wind away from the main route, and studying an enemy camp before entering can give Villedor explorers another reason to slow down and look for the next landmark.
- Choose it when
- Choose it when what you miss most is an open world explored by instinct rather than the apocalypse itself.
- But
- Jin's conflict is built around samurai-film stealth and duels, with a calmer and more spacious rhythm. There are no parkour chains, infected, or pressure from the night.
Dying Light
Open WorldActionSurvivalPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Finding a route across Harran's rooftops by day, then fleeing Volatiles with a UV light after dark, creates the same pulse of deciding whether one more trip is worth it before night fully arrives.
- Choose it when
- Start with it when you want the version where night truly makes leaving a safe house feel dangerous, or want to see where the series began.
- But
- The original city is tighter and its parkour-and-night risk is more direct. Dying Light 2's glider, faction alterations, and larger district choices are not here.
Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition
Open WorldActionRPGPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Gliding, grappling, and mounts keep your eyes on the next ridge, while machine fights also ask you to study weaknesses, choose a weapon, and decide how to enter an encounter.
- Choose it when
- It works when you enjoy constantly changing routes between city and wilderness and are happy to trade survival fear for more deliberate machine combat.
- But
- It is a single-player sci-fi adventure about hunting machines and following a character story. Movement is fluid, but it lacks Dying Light 2's suffocating scramble to find an escape through infected crowds.
Dragon's Dogma 2
Open WorldRPGActionPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- A trip that is derailed by an ogre, a broken bridge, or nightfall feels familiar: the map does not continually lay out a safe route, and the journey itself produces stories.
- Choose it when
- Try it if your favorite moments are the ones where a simple errand turns into an expedition.
- But
- There is no parkour or zombies, and movement carries more weight. Its core is vocations, pawns, and large monsters rather than chaining a movement kit through a city.
