When I first glanced at Dying Light 2's expansive skill trees, my eyes immediately hunted for a certain ability that I knew would carry me through the apocalyptic wasteland.

It's wildly lethal for a move that can be unlocked so early in the game.

After that I start hitting dudes to add a little rhythm, but in the background I'm lining up the vector of my next dropkick, inching closer to a rooftop's edge and baiting the next moron to their gravitational demise.

I've even killed stuff with the dropkick that really seemed
