    Surprisingly good. Although it's a railroaded story, it's well told and will appeal to the adult gamer. Kyle Crane is a very pragmatic hero who is out to do his job at almost any cost, even if it means being a bit dark sometimes.

    There is a lot of exploring to do, and a decent amount of questing. The game is mostly well balanced, and pleasantly difficult. Normal mode feels normal and    Surprisingly good.

    The down side is that you'll be killing the same things over and over. The zombies respawn, and what is unforgivable is that the loot does too. You'll be looting the same chests hundreds of times. It would have been better without respawning.

    The graphics are decent enough, but not too innovative and not particularly well optimized. With a GTX780 I should get a better framerate than around 40fps on high settings.    … Expand

    simply amazing. The best zombie,parkour, game i've ever played. Dying Light is 10/10 but dlc is not good enough for this price.

    This game is the best zombie gane you are going to play.. until DL2 releases I guess.
    If you are reading this in 2020 I just want to tell you this game looks and feels much better then many games that have released recently.
    Best gameplay and coop I have tried in a long time.

    The definitive Dying Light experience. Contains both the main game with the city map and parkour AND the countryside map with vehicles, plus additional mini-DLCs that are basically just extra single missions. Crazy cheap in 2020. Buy it. Really.

    Dying Light was a fabulous and fun game, although definitely a bit flawed. I never regretted my playtime or purchase and would buy the second one for sure, so that's a great endorsement of it. The Following expands on it by keeping the original game, adding a fun and upgradeable buggy, and having a good story and side quests to go with it. I had a lot of fun and that's the point of most games!

    Five Word Review: Best of the zombie genre.
    Favorite Thing: The free running is so smooth, it's a blast.
    Least Favorite Thing: Lockpicking and looting. They waste so very much time yet are completely necessary.

    Date Completed: 2018-03-03
    Playtime: 29h
    Enjoyment: 8/10
    Recommendation: Absolutely.

    I get stolen copies of all the games I try before I pay any company, which saves me from buying games like "Fallout 4" but I can happily report that I buy ALL of the good games that I like.

    I bought Dying Light after nearly finishing the game, then shortly after, they provided an "Enhanced Edition," which I played through TWICE.

    This game is worth $100. This developer did an awesome job. BUY.THIS.GAME and if you don't want to play it yourself, buy it for someone you love because they will love you for it!    … Expand

    Avid PC Gamer here and I am currently playing Dying Light. This is actually amazing, first time I have been completely sucked into a game in a while. I am about half way through and I was impressed to the point where I wanted to log onto Metacritic and leave a review, something I haven't been motivated to do in a minute. The graphics on max are stunning, I feel like I am in this world. TheAvid PC Gamer here and I am currently playing Dying Light.

The graphics on max are stunning, I feel like I am in this world. The combat is awesome as well and you need to scavenge and work hard at obtaining and keeping weapons. The conversations and quests are well written and interesting, which flow in pace with a good story. Things get scary at night, play it with the lights out and see what I mean. If you are undecided on Dying Light or not that into zombie stuff, I would still definitely recommend trying this because it's a very very well made game.

    I spent 76 Hours with this Game (including dlc) and had a great time. The comparison with far cry is justified, and since I love far cry 3 & 4 a very good one. The fact is, this game is hard to beat in atmosphere and if you are among the lucky ones to be able to play in 4K also fantastically looking.

    This one has raised the bar to a remarkable level of quality. I wished all developers would look at this one.
    Techland has corrected the mistakes they did with the first game and this version has raised in my books from a 7/10 to a very strong 9/10, maybe even 9.5 out of 10 when played in co-op.

    This game is underrated compared to stupid Witcher game.
    I am hooked up and enjoying the game.
    I feel some companies hire people to rank their game. Don't buy Witcher. Buy this and I guarantee you will enjoy it.

    Dying Light and Days Gone are the best two zombie games I have ever played.

    I am looking forward to Dying Light 2.

    Great game. Plus, a huge improvement over its predecessor "Dead Island" in every aspect. This series is really one of a kind. The gloomy atmosphere and the sense of abandonment is great, the adrenaline, the tension, the constant feeling of insecurity are just perfect.

    Dying Light is the best zombie game i have ever played. The Following keeps this level aswell. There is co-op mode and its very fun. This is a zombie/parkour/rpg. The flow is very good. One thing bothered me, The lots of driving with the buggy between quests in the following dlc. Maybe less driving parts would have been better, but I recommend for everyone, who likes zombie games.

    Probably the best zombie game i have played, it has so much content that u don't know where to start from, so much secrets, crafts, weapons, type of zombies and mission, the only complain is improve optimization, is a heavy load game, but still the best zombie experience ever.

    In conclusion, Dying Light is a terrifying open-world zombie game with an excellent story, intent on scaring the living hell out of you. The thrill of rotting flesh, blood, guts and quite often my own tears has left me with an ironically refreshing outlook on what a game can be when it truly delivers.
