    9/10 instead of 10 - for those weird solutions like QTE fight with Rais or weirder one with Tahir. However, compared to so many modern games DL1 will be 12/10.
    Chrome Engine 6 looks great even in 23` - and much better than c-in DL2.
    Story line - many say its too simple, but I say its believable; main Evil ones - surprise, Techland predicted WHO of 20-22 spot on (WHO=GRA obviously,    9/10 instead of 10 - for those weird solutions like QTE fight with Rais or weirder one with Tahir.

    Jade and Rahim - simply amazing, grab not just your attention, but feelings as well... so does Brecken - wish there was more of him in game (i know he was originally one of player`s)
    Music - great and spot on in-game, 10/10
    After DL1 will be impossible to play Dead Island or Mirror`s Edge.
    Gameplay is good, but first-time night run to the tower (story mission) is simply unforgettable, and if you didn`t jump of the bridge (from the very top) - you didn`t play DL1.    … Expand

    It might make more sense to remake or remastered this game instead of making a second one. After playing the second game, I understood this much better. Even if it's not a remake, this game still needs a remastered version because the graphics are extremely outdated now. If it gets remastered, maybe they can make us forget the failure of the second game.

You'll getting really epic weapons after few hours. You'll addict the game give a change for a short time.

    Played this in co-op and finished both the base game and the DLC. I had a lot of fun parkouring, killing zombies, and exploring the world. Decent story with decent characters and a good soundtrack.

    Overall it was worth all the time I spend on it.

    My favorite game ever. Outstanding story, sometimes when I zoned out I felt like I was in game for a moment. Best music soundtracks in comparison to the games I've played, they really have a unique unexplainable vibe. Something about the zombies was different from the rest zombie games... Parkour is also outstanding and insanely fun to do.
    Easily a 11/10 game.

    I rate the story of the games so this one will be the main story and the following enhanced edition will be followings story review. I hate Crane as a character i hate him with my guts, for the choices he makes mistakes that he do etc. But overall has a nice story with unsatisfying dialogs and delivery in general.

    Having played both Dying light 1 and Dying light 2, I can say that 1 is better than the original in almost every way. Despite being 8 years older than the sequel, the original somehow plays and feels better and smoother. If you want to play Dying Light, just play the original as it will be cheaper and more fun. I always want to play more Dying Light 1 but seldom want to play Dying Light 2.

    Granted that the story is quite basic. But the game play is so, much, fun! The game gives you all the tools needed so that killing zombies and moving around the city feel amazing. The parkour is incredible only made better by the grappling hook you can obtain by upgrading your abilities. And the variety of weapons allows for a great experience.

    +Открытый мир, повсюду зомби, могут попасться выжившие и т.д.. + Так еще и не не пустой (мир).
    +Обширный арсенал, начиная от различного холодного (которое еще можно метать) заканчивая различными типами огнестрелов и по мелочи: молотовы,с4,хлопушки,петарды.
    +Рецептов в игре очень много ( так как я купил платинум эдишен мб из-за этого у меня было открыто много рецептов с самого начала)
    +Сюжет кидает нас в различные ситуации.
    ++Большой плюс это кооператив на 4 человек. Проходится бодро и с весельем
    +Атмосфера локального зомби апокалипсиса передана по моему мнению отлично!
    +Так же ночи в этой игре настолько опасны, настолько же прекрасны, а еще тут присутствует смена погоды.

    Excelente aventura. Un juego de zombies como solo la gente de Techland sabe hacer. Para ser sincero me fue convenciendo a medida que lo jugaba, ya que al empezarlo me pareció que era como Dead Island (juego que me encantó) pero sin aquel humor negro que resaltaba en aquel apocalipsis zombie en un resort paradisíaco de vacaciones. Y eso le restó muchos enteros al principio.

Y eso le restó muchos enteros al principio.

    Podría decirse que Dying Light es una continuación de Dead Island. No en cuanto a historia, ni mucho menos. Pero sí en cuanto a la idea del juego de zombies en primera persona en un mundo abierto con elementos RPG. Dying Light es Dead Island perfeccionado en su jugabilidad. Se mejoran cosas como el desplazamiento (parkour, en cuanto lo vas dominando es una gozada), el crafteo de objetos y armas que ahora podemos realizar sobre la marcha teniendo los materiales, etc...

    El juego está lleno de contenido para explorar. Zonas de cuarentena, que son como mazmorras donde meterse a investigar y conseguir recursos y equipamiento de calidad. Misiones secundarias a dolor, etc.... El aspecto gráfico es inmejorable y el rendimiento, en un pc como el mío de gama media con unos añitos encima es perfecto, ni una vez se me ha colgado o ha tenido bajadas de frames.

    Como aspectos negativos..... quizás la no inclusión de un mecanismo de viaje rápido entre zonas seguras. Hay veces que patearse el mapa de un extremo a otro puede ser tedioso. La historia, ojo, no es un aspecto negativo en si, pero me pareció algo manida y al perder el humor negro de dead island es un meh.... te importa menos, pasa a ser un vehículo para hacer las cosas que haces, sin más.

    En conclusión si te molan los RPG en primera persona en mundo abierto, es un gran juego. Te va a dar unas 30 o 40 horas de partida fácil en su versión estándar. Recomendado    … Expand

    I've played through the main story and did all the side quests in the main game. Personally I think the plot was weak as well as the characters. Nothing in it stood out to me. It was either pretty generic and bad at times.

Personally I think the plot was weak as well as the characters. Nothing in it stood out to me. It was either pretty generic and bad at times.

    Side quests however were pretty interesting and while most of them were fetch quests their premises and stories they've told were immersing and thrilling, But the most fun I've had surprisingly was from going to those quests and just traversing the world.

    Core gameplay which is melee, parkour and crafting all come together to create a gameplay loop unique to this game and one that I've not seen anyone try to replicate. It's absurd how much time I've spent just fighting zombies on the street without any particular reason. The amount of things you can do with parkour moves, melee weapons and physics of zombies is tremendous and it keeps me coming back to it.

    Progression is another part of the loop. Every single point you gain feels earned and upgrades the game allows you for are almost never just stats up. They allow you to do new things with your kit of weapons or parkour moves. You won't see upgrades that are just pure stats up. That's why progression in this game feels so meaningful.

    The map of the core game is split into 2 sections. One of them is slums which is a starting area. There's a bit of verticality there but mostly it's just mixes of different terrains without much to it.
    However 2nd area which is sector zero or old town is much better. That is because there's an actual structure to it with high buildings and street levels. For me moving through sector zero felt a lot more freely than through slums. I could sense a rhythm in it's design which perfectly crowned the gameplay.

    The Following is a dlc which contains a completely new map and as the title suggests is a follow up to events that happend in the core gameplay.

    I think this time around the story is a lot centralized and knows what it wants to be about. The proggression of the story happens through system similiar to FarCry 5 where to advance you have to complete certain objectives which then grant you points towards next main story missions. A lot of people dislike this system I personally don't mind it as much.

    For me the game under utilizes it's feature that made me invested in it the first place which is the gameplay loop. They crafted an interesting however huge map and to compensate for that you are given a vehicle - a buggy. This undermines the foundation the game has built originally. Personally I see the addition of the buggy and the size of the map as the biggest flows of the dlc. Some however may like it and see it as a great addtion.

    The buggy has it's own skill tree which allows you for all kinds of upgrades to it. From better speed to UV lights which allow for easier drives at night.
    Zombies feel more aggressive in this game and there also not as spreaded around the map as they were in Harran. They are condensed in the areas which were very populated before like a small town or fields around the farms. It adds to immersion.

    One more con I have is with how the game feels a lot more like a Ubisoft open world. The game constantly bombards you with new activities and new live events for you to chase. It feels a lot more forced and while I know I said that I don't mind the system of main progression it feels like it forced upon devs to deliver more rather than better.

    Overall I sadly think dlc while delivering in small portions more of Dying Light feels a lot more like a different game with mechanics of previous game. Some may find it more enjoyable and like it a lot more than I do.

    The base game is 9/10 for me but The Following is around 6 or 7/10 so the overall package is an 8/10. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in it.    … Expand

The game has no bugs, in general, the game is very well developed at the time of 2021. The plot, missions are also very interesting. The game has only two disadvantages: The first is the artificial intelligence of zombies. Sometimes their intelligence is buging, but during the game you will not see this if you do not look closely. The second is that I recommend playing a game with someone, because it's really boring to play it alone. So to sum up I really recommend this game to you!… Expand

    If the game paid more attention to the story, we would have the perfect originality for the zombie genre. The ambient is great, the idea too, but the characters are hardly striking not because they don't have potential, but because the story wasn't the main part of the game.

    Don't let the Dead Island affiliation sway you one way or the other, Dying Light is its own game and it's rightfully fun, but it's not something that is Game of the Year material to me. If you like zombie games and open world games then this is worth the pickup, but otherwise I'd skip it until it goes on sale, because it's still a really fun game no matter how you dice it.

    It’s a game of a thousand house calls, in which everyone needs something they can’t get or do for themselves. Catastrophe has made every doorstep a welcome place, with disease and death the justification for an openness that might seem unthinkable under other circumstances.
