2. Dying Light 2: Stay Human – Feb. 4 (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, XB1, PC)
Best Open World Games 2022
If you prefer a flavor of the undead in your open-world outings, then Dying Light 2 has you covered. With a blend of zombie-slaying combat and parkour traversal, you’ll be tasked with reshaping the world following the fall of civilization after the virus outbreak.
With one of the largest human settlements torn by conflict, its up to protagonist Aiden to shape its future and reunite the survivors that live there. The decisions you make along the way and the actions you take in quests will all go to shape the story and the way things unfold, so take no choice lightly.
This isn’t just a basic undead open-world game, though, there’s also a day night cycle which forces you to explore with caution when the sun sets, as the Infected begin hunting survivors and leave their lairs free to explore. Will you dare risk venturing inside? Only time will tell.
Dying Light 2’s been in development for six years, so you can expect this to be a pretty enormous open-world game with plenty to see and do.
