    -Гонять на машинках было прикольно
    -Живописные пейзажи
    -Сюжет до конца не понял
    -Концовка с возможность выбора, оч. понравилась, и стоило действительно подумать, что выбрать

    One of the best zombie post apo. games i ever played! Especially with covid all around ;)
    Single player game launched 5 years ago with cool CO-OP and asymetric pvp.
    PROS: -I love control system ( response speed and accuracy) - 5 year old game with support and community events every 1-2months - personaly i liked the story line - nightmare difficulty is pretty challenging - game    One of the best zombie post apo. games i ever played!

    Extremely underrated game. Engaging story, fun combat and the parkour is fun as heck. Graphics and performance great on a good PC.

    Not as great as the original, but still very solid game. Gets rid of parkour and adds large open world countryside map and vehicles. Overall still great game, but not the same vibe. You can import your equipement from the main game for a quick start.

    Dying Light is the game you love, not only for what is in game but also for the whole environment. Just put this fraze in google - dying light no power source - enjoy! I love the games where developers have fun as we do while playing ! It's the special connection and i need to say it. I love Techland way of thinking and work! Keep up with good work!

    Dying Light The Following Enhanced Edition
    More than just DLC
    Techland had some guts making The Following just an expansion Dying Light The Following Continues the story of Kyle Crane Not only is this expansion a direct sequel to Dying Light, it’s the conclusion of Kyle Cranes Story and there are multiple endings. The Following does feel like an expansion, but delivered differently    Dying Light The Following Enhanced Edition
    More than just DLC
    Techland had some guts making The Following just an expansion
    Dying Light The Following Continues the story of Kyle Crane
    Not only is this expansion a direct sequel to Dying Light, it’s the conclusion of Kyle Cranes Story
    and there are multiple endings.
    The Following does feel like an expansion, but delivered differently and this could have been a full-fledged game…
    There is easily over 10 hours of content here.
    This expansion takes place in the country side, the map is huge, quests can be thousands of kilometers apart
    luckily for you the following introduces a buggy to the game
    The buggy has its own skill tree and its own craftable parts…
    You get parts and fuel from gas stations and broken down cars…
    You get xp by running over zombies and driving fast…
    The buggy is a great edition to dying light and makes traversing the country side a blast..
    At least while things are close by…
    because ultimately the level design makes the buggy gameplay not so fun…
    There’s a trophy called “I don’t approve of mindless fun” in the game, and this is apparent with how the world seems like it was designed specifically to slow you down, waste your time, and hinder fun…
    You can’t go far until you make it to a bridge clogged with cars, mountains or rivers you can’t drive over or through…
    They give you an awesome tool to have fun with then take it away with all of the roadblocks, turning this back into what dying light was... a chore…
    The story here is a little weird and based on some sun religion, you’re investigating because they’ve been able to stop infected from turning into zombies, so you want this cure, but to get close to the inner circle you have to help out the children of the sun, aka everyone that lives in the countryside
    Side quests are mandatory here, but not all of them.. you get to pick and choose…
    This is a little disappointing because some of the side quests I did are tied to characters I cared about and feel like these quests can too easily be missed by non completionists, and that they won’t really get to the meat of the story…
    I would have much rather seen a story with no side quests..scrapping the liberating and clearing volatile nests, and just deliver a branching story… which they could have done.. they have all of the quests here to do that…
    Had they delivered this way, the following would have ultimately felt like a $60 game rather than just a giant map with some stuff you can check out if you want…
    This expansion was so close to matching the level of Dying light for 1/3 of the price
    Dying Light The Following can be fun at times,
    but techland are against that sort of thing,
    I give Dying The Following Enhanced Edition
    a 7.5/10    … Expand

    This expansion is actually better than the main game itself.

    Pros:

    - Great amount of content;
    - Fun missions;
    - The buggy;
    - New skill trees and weapons;
    - Vast and beautiful map;
    - Intriguing ending

    Cons:

    - Checkpoint system still sucks;
    - Dumb AI makes it easy to kill bosses;
    - Some pop-ups while driving.

    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.

    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]
