I used to love the eery atmosphere and immersiveness of the first installment, but I remember missing these aspects from DL 2 at launch day (pirated it), but I wanna buy it at the summer sale perhaps now.

If anyone played DL 2 recently, did the game get some more immersive improvements or perhaps are there mods that can make it have a more atmospheric feeling?

Hard no.

We loved the first, but the second adds the stupid infection thing, and was in the "ok, playable" pile at the start, but all the glitches and bugs made us stop. Between day/night not working for non-hosts, buildings with huge map holes in them, and very poorly scripted quests we dropped it. The final straw was when we were doing side stuff, ignoring the main mission, and passed over a building that was part of a later stage in the main mission, causing us to softlock, then on restart being at the later step in the main mission. Just trash programming.

If you really want to play it, pirate it. Don't give money for it.

Oh that does sound unconvenient. When did you play DL 2?

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
