To recap

Stay Human is a sequel that has greatly benefitted from the wise decision to delay its release for more testing time. The end result is an accomplished, polished game that builds on its predecessor in just about every way possible. It has an enormous open-world setting, huge amount of main and side missions, and a branching storyline that is directly impacted by the choices you make in the game. Add to that some superb parkour running and jumping mechanics and great melee combat, and you have a triple-A title that sparks joy upon each load.
