Dying Light: The Following

Techland reminds us what a proper expansion pack should look like. The buggy is a great addition, along with a lot of other ideas. The Following only makes you think how many great concepts are in store for a proper sequel, which could also eliminate the minor defects, like the AI of human enemies.

Dying Light: The Following manages to include a new fun-filled environment to explore along with a vehicle to do so that mesh together well with a story that’s slow to start but ends with a powerful punch.

Excellent DLC, almost like Dying Light 1.5 [March 2016]

If you didn't like Dying Light, you're not going to like The Following but if you're still sitting on the fence or you're interested in smashing some more zombie skulls with all the visually stunning gore that Dying Light: The Following has to offer, then I don't know what you're doing still reading this and not playing it. All in all, the expansion is well worth the price and a really excellent addition to an immensely enjoyable game.

The Following expansion pack is a fantastic, enjoyable addition to an already great game, you’ll bound not to find a dull moment within. By the end you’ll be wanting to do nothing more than get behind the wheel and creating chaos as you speed across the dirt roads, taking down zombies in a field of blood splattering glory.

Quite the satisfying DLC, this one. It adds a lot of interesting elements to the gameplay (the dune buggy is particularly well made), poses a decent challenge and it even has an interesting storyline. The new setting is not as interesting as the old one, but it’s vast and full of content, and all for a reasonable price.

The Following is an excellent expansion by any measure, combining a fascinating narrative and enjoyable gameplay into a great piece of content for fans of the original game. It’s a shame parkour takes a back seat, but running zombies over in the buggy is an attractive alternative.

The Following is extensive, exciting, lasts 20-25 hours and adds to the main game many new elements, while losing something (parkour) with the addition of vehicle and not excelling in AI enemy of humans.

The Following is a great addiction to the Dying Light experience, thanks to a compelling new story and some interesting mechanics.

The Following is a great old-school expansion for Dying Light, and a DLC that offers an excellent value.

An expansion pack that is more like a 2.0 version of the original Dying Light than a simple DLC. Much more varied, colorful & deep, and as crowded with zombies as the original game.

It offers a lot of fun and a few shiny new toys (such as the buggy) to everyone else who greatly appreciated Dying Light, and it does so with great value thanks to a strong longevity for its price. Unless you really dislike zombies, The Following is a worthy purchase.

Dying Light came back to life with the spin-off and for a small penny it adds a lot of fun. Buggy races pleasantly enriched the gameplay and zombie-infested courses are hilarious. [Issue#262]

Everything you loved about Dying Light expanded and improved upon, with a new setting and new elements including buggies, bosses and general badassery. [Issue#249, p.50]

With The Following Techland shows it still knows how to create an excellent zombie game and again we have been totally sucked into this game.

The Following is the definition of a true expansion with rich content and more gameplay from the core game Dying Light. The buggy is also an important addition with great fun-factor.

If you skipped the original, now is a great time to drop in and see what you missed, and The Following adds dozens of hours of new missions and things to do outside the city.

The Following is a lot like Dying Light. The same rough edges, basic story and annoying characters. Even the bugs and other technical issues are still there. However, this add on does bring enough new features to make it worth while to play Dying Light again. Plus, it is still a game with strong gameplay and amazing co-op modes.

Regardless of a few underlying faults with character development and the occasional fetch quests, Dying Light: The Following is undoubtedly among the best story-mode expansions I have ever played.

Dying Light: The Following adds a whole new countryside to the zombie infested Harran and a brand-new buggy to ride across it. It's a strong expansion to a great game, continuing the original game's survival aspects into a new, open arena. This is almost a different game hidden in DLC.

Dying Light: The following has great additions like sidequests system and Buggy mechanics. Stills first person adventure with survival elements, but it's more solid and fun than de original game. However, has some AI enemy issues and lack of parkour mechanic.

Dying Light The Following is a decent length expansion that will last players around ten hours and adds a nice little chunk to the core gameplay that can extend the overall package of Dying Light, even with newer features in the be the zombie mode also.

A big ‘ol chunk of game with a lot of things to do, and just as importantly, new ways to do them.​

The Following is a solid and consistent open world experience; a true evolution of the original ideas that made Dying Light fun and engaging to play. The agile and frantic parkour experience is now powered by an all-terrain, high octane buggy, which is your primary tool to explore the farmlands of Harran. More importantly, the vehicle is seamlessly integrated with the structure of the game.

An excellent DLC that could claim itself as a full game without blushing. Dying Light style is still here, with an interesting plot and ending, and still efficient. The massive map is quite perfect to roam in the new - and very pleasant to drive - buggie and find more and more zombies to slay, alone or with friends.

If you enjoyed the original Dying Light, The Following keeps its base gameplay but adds a fresh perspective with the wide-open rural setting, mysterious story, and the dune buggy.

The Following, a big expansion to Dying Light, is a quite interesting game that will make some fall in love with it, and some will be left with a bad taste in their mouths. The story is more interesting, character development - deeper and driving the buggy is extremely fun. Unfortunately The Following makes parkour almost redundant and changes the unique gameplay model. There are good parts, there are bad parts, but all in all Dying Light looks more like Far Cry than ever before.

At points where the car’s unusable, The Following is just more Dying Light, which is still a fun but flawed experience, and those are also the points where the expansion is at its best.

If you like the idea of cruising around farmlands in a weaponless Half-Life 2-style buggy by all means pick up The Following, but don’t expect a smooth ride.

This massive expansion refines Dying Light's yummy formula, though it still suffers from some of the main game's faults. And at just $20, it's a steal.

Expansion what extends above-average game, can´t be much better than original by definition. Although The Following improves the original a bit, it mostly sticks to a similar standard. For your money you get a lot, but none of this is unfortunately unique. And one of the few innovations – 4-wheeler buggy car – has no effect at all. If it wouldn’t be for the multiplayer, it would be an average expansion.
