    Fantastic game. Graphics are amazing, gameplay is smooth, and the grappling hook is a blast. I just changed a game I had at 15% to hard mode after finishing the game. Night time is longer, and man is it tough. This is the game I've been waiting for since Half-Life. Waiting for the DLC. After the bar that this game raised, other developers really need to step up.

You have always something to do in the game, you can choose what you like to do now, there are random encounters which are so refreshing. Also you have fear because of the zombies, but when you know the environment it is normal fear, you don't have to worry about some super monster appearing out of nowhere because you picked up some storyline object. I hate game which just want to create fear in you just for the sake of it. Were nicely and balanced game. I did not have so much fun since years. Also difficulty is very balanced, you can choose weapon and strategy for fighting. I love this game !!! And you are always jumping and running over the rooftops or cars, it is so much fun, and the controls are perfectly made. Unbelievable cool game, definitely my favorite for very long time.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "It's like far cry 3 with zombies"

    Real Score: 8.5/10

    I'll give it a 9 because they announced some really cool content coming in the future.

    Gameplay: Killing zombies with different melee weapons never gets old, really, it's so much fun to just run around the map killing zombies, opening chests for better weapons, doing these little random events like save some guy from zombies or from Rais's (bad guy) men. The way the game scales is simply brilliant, you start weak, you have to avoid zones full of zombies most of the time because your weapons are weak, after some missions you get EXP, you start leveling and getting new skills, finding better weapons until you get stronger, and you'll just 1 shot zombies or multiple zombies at the same time, your parkour skills will get better aswell so jumping from house to house will get easier and more fun. On top of all that, during the day the game is a survival game, find loot, get weapons, do some quests, lvl skills, during the night is more of a horror/stealth game, because at night, really strong, fast and vicious zombies roam around the map and they will chase you and pretty much shred you to pieces if they catch you. The multiplayer (COOP) (Recommended) is really fun, people can just join your game and help you around with some quests of main story, you can get invaded by a special zombie, controlled by another human. The coop is up to 4 players. 9/10

    Story: Now serious, it feels a lot like far cry 3/4, and it's full of cliches: the bag guy is crazy, you appear out of nowhere and you volunteer for everything, you can do everything people there couldn't do for ages, long story short you are the typicall hero. So for the story I would give 6.5/10

    Graphics/Environment: The graphics are amazing, the environment is perfect, it does feel like you are in a post apocalyptic city, it's really immersive. The 2nd and last place you go to is actually really beautiful. 8/10

    Content: Main story, around 40 side quests, lots of challenges, little events, some chests/cars to lock pick to find better weapons and outfits. I finished the main story, all side quests did some challenges, events and wandered around just killing zombies and lock picking chests/cars to find better weapons, and I have 35 hours of gameplay, but I'll probably play more later since they already added (free) new content like 50 new weapons, new weapon rarity, some outfits and difficulty, and they teased us with CARS! to be added in the future. 8/10

    So much better than Dead Island...The game shines on every single aspect, game play is fluid, graphics are amazing and the story is pretty damn good thus far. I can def recommend the game!!
    The only slightly negative thing is the dynamic day night cycle...Its actually linked to quests and doesn't cycle like an actual day night cycle would. Other than that its a fun and solid gaming experience.

    Beautifull landscape graphics, the sea didn't have any motion whatsoever though, it looked like a copy and paste picture, didn't move, very weired and took me out of the immersion a lot of times. It actually looked so akward I'm wondering if it was a bug.

    It's a game that doesn't take your hand, it's pretty hard and died numerous times. I enjoyed my time with the game, I did all the    Beautifull landscape graphics, the sea didn't have any motion whatsoever though, it looked like a copy and paste picture, didn't move, very weired and took me out of the immersion a lot of times. It actually looked so akward I'm wondering if it was a bug.

    It's a game that doesn't take your hand, it's pretty hard and died numerous times.

    I enjoyed my time with the game, I did all the side missions in Harran which gave me far to much money way to early in the game, a bit imbalanced there.

    Found that two hand weapons or weapons with that are slow to swing are underpowered compared to the faster ones, you can get an ability to 360 with a two hand weapon which helps but the cost of stamina per swing doesn't justify using one compared to a quick sword by example.

    (*Minor Spoilers in next paragraph)
    Found that side missions should of had specified which were more essential like the witch woman (which I didn't get the reward till finishing the game) and missed on an essential potion trough out the game which would of made it much easier, as well as the dynamite one which gives you the ability to trough grenades (wich I also got at the end of the story).
    Did over 40 other side missions and the rewards weren't nearly as good, mostly just gives you a worthless blueprint and some cash.
    Also my major criticism at the game is getting the grap hock so late in the game, and I did all the side missions! Can't imagine for someone who didn't do any?! They might not of even unlocked it by the time they finished the game, major flaw.

    Side mission were quite boring, just fetch this for me quests.

    Looting is not rewarding enough, especially late game.

    Plot was great not the best way executed but the concept was great.

    Combat wasn't the best, but really enjoyed the animations of slicing zombies up, greatly animated.

    In general, I enjoyed my time with the game, parkour is very good, and enjoyed the leveling system although I think some abilities could of been there from the start of the game.

    Would I recommend this game?

    Yes, definitely, even though I listed so many negatives is because I wanted it to be a GOTY game, unfortunately it won't be but hey, best game I played this year so far..?!!!

    Spent roughly 30 to 35 hours with non stop looting and 90% of side missions.

    Played it solo but think it would be better with a friend in coop.

    dying light is an open world rpg style game from the developer of the original dead island and it shows
    dead island is very cartoony compared to the more mature toned Dying Light
    This is a much grittier game that takes itself much more seriously
    you’re an undercover agent named Kyle Crane sent to infiltrate a quarantine zone
    as soon as you get there you see that the place is crawling with zombies and other survivors
    you’re instantly bit and infected
    you’re rescued by a woman named jade and she takes you back to the tower because she trusts you can help the remaining survivors,
    And to get into their good graces this is exactly what you do..
    You’re an errand boy...
    you do all of the tough tasks that others are afraid or too weak to do...
    As soon as you’re healed up you’re taught how to do parkour and this unlike in Dead Island gives you the opportunity to travel through the roof tops assassins’ creed style….
    Unfortunately though, the parquor system isn’t the greatest….
    There is no flow to it, and this lack of flow really stands out towards the end that I won’t show to prevent spoiler, but unlike in assassins creed, if you don’t stop before you make a leap, your character is going to do a half jump and fall to his death,
    This no flow needs fixed for a sequel, and please let us climb down…
    jumping down while I grab ledges is a little too risky for my taste…
    awkward parquor asside, I was in love with the game for the first few hours, I loved exploring the city and scavenging for weapons and items to craft better weapons but dying light is missing the magic dead island had for me
    While dying light is the 2nd most believable zombie games I’ve played since the last of us,
    nothing about this world feels real or previously lived in… the world in dying light feels insanely generic
    There’s no moments, unless I overlooked them where you see a zombie stuck in the loop of a past life
    sure some will be locked in the bathroom in houses but they just feel like a gamey jump scare not like they belong there..not like they once lived in the house youre going through
    There is no human left in these zombies, ultimately turning them into a nuisance rather than a victim of their circumstances like dead island or even tell tales the walking dead does near perfectly
    It would’ve been so much better for the tone they set out to hit if there was a dilemma or struggle to kill
    Maybe if it were more about panicking humans than just a bunch of zombies…
    Because this really is just completing tasks while zombies bother you
    that’s it
    And it’s a shame…
    Theres so much potential here and it becomes repetitive too fast
    I was so impressed with how difficult the zombies seemed in this game.. id try my hardest to avoid conflict with them, even with insanely powerful weapons…
    There are random side quests and side activities that pop up on the screen where you can help survivors or take supplies from the rival gang..
    You can even use the zombies to attack rival enemies for you by throwing fire crackers to attract them, or just getting them to chase you..
    Helping npcs, climbing buildings, and killing enemies all level up a different skills,
    You have a survivor, agility, and and power skill tree,
    Leveling up can get you awesome perks like added health, learning how to use traps in the city, taking less damage from falls.. and at night all of your xp earned is double..
    Except for one little problem
    At night zombies are on steroids especially the volatiles
    The zombies at night are fast, powerful, they can climb and chase after you,
    It’s a thrill to try and make it to a safe spot before you’re killed and sleep til morning
    Or you can stay out at night and test your luck…
    About 50 percent of the way through the story though dying light kind of turns into more of a first person shooter and this is really where the game starts to fall apart..
    I was so happy thinking, they got it right this time.. one giant city for me to explore.. they didn’t make the dead island mistake of making me go to different places
    Wrong
    In the back of my mind while playing I was thinking..
    If they dare send me to the sewers like every zombie game in existence does…
    and guess what
    they did….
    Just like in Dead Island they send you through the sewers and you end up in what I’m convinced is the exact same place you end up in in Dead Island... I definitely got smacked with some dejavu
    But you end up in a more crowded spot in the city, that’s just no fun….at all…
    I didn’t have even the slightest urge to explore this section…
    and worst of all, you cant fast travel through these 2 spots I understand the lack of fast travel in the actual city The fun of the game is making it back before the light dies. .but at least let me hop back and forth between the 2 sections of the city… “I hate sewers It’s so disappointing how predictable dying light ended up being... at least progression wise… The actual story was throwing me all over the    … Expand

    The characters could have done with a bit more...Character, and perhaps the game feels a bit muddy in areas (Early melee combat and the stamina bar don't go too well together), but it strikes me as Wolfenstein did - It's just plain fun to play. The game is geogeous and the world is huge. There's lots to do, and hey, it doesn't do a lot of original stuff - But who doesn't like Farcry with zombies?

    Lots of good ideas from other games composed into one one solid game. Story line is so so, but overall is not bad. Technically, game is very good. No problems, no issues. Graphics is very good, sound and music also (voice overs could be better). Nice touch witch coop. Highly recommended even to those that don't like zombi apocalypse mood much.

    Dying Light presents a clear disparity with what it wants to be and what it actually is.

On one hand, the game wants to be treated like a serious, mature story set in an unexplored setting engaged with the zombie apocalypse yet manages to hit almost every zombie cliché that I started to wonder if it was satire. This proves to be the spiritual successor to Dead Island's greatest weakness, which is a rather uninspired plot that hardly picks up the pace until the last fifth of the game. This hardly distracts to what I would consider one of the best sandboxes I have had the pleasure of spending the zombie outbreak, killing zombies with electrified cricket bats while traversing city blocks via grappling hook. The gameplay is well balanced and is complemented with a deep progression system which has an immediate effect in gameplay rather than it being passively mundane.

    The visuals, without a doubt, are stunning. The city of Harran where the game takes place is well realized and is accentuated with great details and superior lighting effects. Speaking of effects, the day-night cycle, which is Dying Light's biggest draw, works very well with night time being a rewarding, yet terrifying venture when Volatile zombies chase you in the dark streets. The combat system, while being relatively simple, is made all the more satisfying with every crunch and splatter of zombie limbs being well realized. Another well realized feature is the parkour mechanic, which I have to say is actually among the best among first person games, even passing Mirror's Edge. It's forgiving, yet still makes your heart race given how many zombies are able to chase you through the rooftops.

    The one thing I loved most is the music, its techno synth reminds me of John Carpenter's soundtracks and that's always a good thing. It's subtle and appears in the right moments. These upsides do not downplay the aforementioned last fifth of the game, which is a tense, exciting dash towards the ending which tests all your skills and has proper buildup unlike the rest of the story, which is drowned with below average acting and poorly written characters. At one point, a certain character death triggers an unnecessary drug induced sequence which really goes nowhere and evokes no real emotion. The sidequests are very good though, with them being multi-staged quests that continue later on rather than them being one and done on the spot sidequests.

    Dying Light is a major step up from the Dead Island games in almost every department except storytelling, which at this point should just go satirical rather than serious, macho undertones. Other than that, Dying Light is an amazingly fun game to play with yourself or friends that has strong foundations in game design and is a step in the right direction for Techland and shows great promise in a genre that is seemingly saturated.    … Expand

    Worst story I finished in a game...so why DID I finish it? Because the game play is very solid. It's super fun to just parcours around at night and play fetch with super active zombies. The best part is, that guns are not more effective than melee weapons. They are loud (zombies will get you) and do less damage later on...that makes the game still kinda challenging over the whole game.Worst story I finished in a game...so why DID I finish it?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been playing DL for 20 hours now (ONLY SINGLEPLAYER) and here are my impressions of it so far. However, first of all I want to say that I did not play any of the Dead Island games, which according to some people were used as a base game for DL. I can neither confirm nor deplete it.

    Warning: Contains spoilers! Trying to avoid them as far as possible.

    You are thrown into the game - [spoiler] literally, since you parachute down into the city of Harran as a part of an infiltration mission [SPOILER END] - and at first the characters you encounter seem not as believable as you wished for. This is resolved as you get settled with the game and its central characters while you finish the first two or three objectives. To add to the RPG character of the game, there are main and side quest, which play well into the story line and motivate the player in different ways. For example, there are not that many "fetch quests" as in mere RPGs.
    Motivation comes from all sides: You find a vast amount of loot. Loot of the "crafting", "valuables" and "consumables" family can be collected to infinity, which I found very nice and rewarding. You need this stuff to craft or to heal yourself almost all the time. Weapon pickups have a restriction in amount, which can be expanded through skills.
    Let's talk about crafting first. You've seen it before in games like DayZ, How to Survive or similar RPGs. Where some do it unnecessarily complicated or just plain stupid, this game hits the spot! You have your basics (lockpicks, medikids, molotovs, etc) and you can either find or get blueprints as a reward from quests or random events (saving survivors, eliminating patrols) in the city of Harran. There also is a lockpick "minigame" every time you come across a closed door or crate, which gets boring really quick. They could've just put in a XP system for that, too (like in the Elder Scrolls series), so you have an easier time with locks. Since you can gather as much craftable stuff as you want, you will not be restricted by that and you will be able to have collected much stuff by the time you actually need it. The game focuses on melee combat, which is not a bad thing. This only means that you would like to use melee weapons for a great amount of reasons (loud noise lures dangerous types of zombies, ammo is usually scarce or buyable at certain shops, etc) prior to ranged weapons. This is why the game focuses on letting you modify close combat weapons - with blueprints AND certain buff items which fit in sockets (much like in Diablo II). Unfortunately, on low levels this is not profitable, since your weapons waste away like butter. I am talking about 10-15 zombie kills until you have to repair your weapon (very annoying!) which depletes "repair points" (usually between 2 and 4) every time unless you level up.
    This brings me to the skill tree, which is separated in three mayor experience trees:
    1) Survivor score (points through quests, etc)
    2) Fighting score (obvious)
    3) Agility score (running, jumping, etc)
    Every tree has an own skill asset and you skill them separately, which I'd call quite innovative. As you progress, fighting gets much easier, you find your way running around Harran much more comfortable and you get certain perks being a great survivor. I am not going to get much into detail, but it has to be said that you have a great amount of freedom leveling up. This is an additional motivation to actually do all three things mentioned above.
    Lastly, I want to address another amazing thing, which is the day- night cycle. Yawn, right? No! Because at day, there are only four kinds of zombies you encounter with different difficulty/threat levels, where at night both your and their skills double and you encounter more special zombies, which you better run from instead of fighting. Alternatively, you can scare them off (they are sensible to UV light) or mask yourself (again, level up before). Also, you earn double the XP at night for ANYTHING you do and there is so much more to it.
    One mayor letdown is, that after 18-20 hours into the game, it seems to crash rather randomly, which you apparently can only resolve (WARNING: it worked for me and a couple other people!) by cranking down your resolution a notch. You might not encounter this problem, though.
    All this leaves me with a rating of about 8/10. I think, in some ways this game could be the pattern for multiplayer survival games.    … Expand

    Its parkour is very unique and has a leveling up system which you can use to unlock new abilities by getting skill points. Through the game, you can find items and use them to craft different weapons like molotovs and throwing stars. It is a truly Amazing game that stands out among other zombie games. It is probably one of the BEST zombie gammes to date!

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. У игры очень много амбиций, оч надеюсь на 2 часть, первая очень далека от идеала, но все же хороша. Начнем с того, что сюжет очень сомнительный ( очень), а постановочные моменты смехотворны, сценарий игры по своей тупости я бы сравнил с какой-нибудь ларой крофт от Рианны Праччетт) Или того хуже с Shadow of the tomb raider. В дополнении The following сюжет мог бы быть неплохим, если бы не ужасный, мморгпшный квест дизайн, крч подача самого сюжета сосет, хотя он мог бы быть интересным. Тащит эту игру прежде всего геймплей - он идеален почти во всем, кроме стрельбы, ну и вождения в дополнении, от этих двух моментов ты вряд ли получишь удовольствие. Так же в игре слишком много ненужного, всякие гриндовые задания подай-принеси-сходи-убей, коллекционирование какого-то хлама, порой сложный и не особо полезный крафт ( не про расходники по типу аптечек, с ними все норм). Ну и не знаю как там задумывали разрабы, но игра не особо то страшная, да, моментами жутковато, но не более, не считаю это минусом или плюсом, просто факт. Графика более , чем норм для 2015, даже в 2020 смотрится игра отлично, арт дизайн мое почтение, атмосфера города, переживающего зомби-апокалипсис передана на ура. Персонажи интересные есть, но их не так много, к тому же это не главные герои и злодеи, а люди, у которых экранного времени гораздо меньше. Со звуком все отлично, управление подбешивает , но не слишком часто( бывает крюк-кошка тупит). Ну к тому же игра супер ценная т.к. поддерживает кооп, а годных кооп. проектов оочень мало.… Expand

    I got this game out of a gift from my friends during my birthday, and I never played this game at all.

The way how you unlock skills is very rewarding, like that moment where you maximize a skill and the game says:    I got this game out of a gift from my friends during my birthday, and I never played this game at all.

The way how you unlock skills is very rewarding, like that moment where you maximize a skill and the game says: "Congratulations! You now cannot get tired and kill enemies pretty quickly!" It makes you feel good.

    The items in the game are pretty unique, each item has something useful. You find a household supply then you think that this is pretty useless, but the game reminds you that you found something for a exquisite modified knife. But they are not unlimited, Imagine you spent countless hours trying to find a Toxic Lichen or trying to kill a Bolter to create a powerful weapon, only then to use it for 30 minutes for it to break and not be able to use it. You then look at yourself and say "I just spent 5 days trying to craft that weapon, for me to only use it for 30 minutes." It is a bad mechanic for me, because I am usually that more expectated person, who uses an item for almost a year.

    The enemies in the game are sometimes diffucult, I had to search up in YouTube at least 10 times trying to kill one of them, only to find out that you just need to put the enemy into a wall or hit him in the back. But soon I know how to beat the enemies without using help, So it takes awhile of discovery for it's weakness, and then you beat the enemy in under 10 seconds.

    The story is great, with Dying Light's moments being memorable, how killing Rais is satisfying, finally killing that bastard who killed your friends, the people who helped you along the way only then for them to be killed by Rais. The story definitely deserved a cliffhanger, Crane decided that the GRE could just **** off and instead help the people who are in the city.

    The world design is great, with Survivor Sense you can explore buildings, and having that Half-Life 2 level design that Half-Life was known for. And i loved these, and I never intended to just use help. I wanted to solve it on my own.

    What makes the game great is due to it's huge compassion and love for the game, although the visuals looks like they came from 2013-2014, but graphics didn't hit the game hard enough, It looked dated from 2015 enough though.    … Expand

    10/10, they managed to do what others did not. You would not find anything like this. Any other zombie game is less complex than Dying Light

Gráficamente es potente, tiene muy buena iluminación, pero la variedad de zombies deja bastante que desear, te puedes encontrar con la cara y vestimenta de un mismo zombie varias veces en una partida, la distancia de dibujado de los dos mapas me gusta, y las partículas en pantalla sorprende.Tiene fallos en algunos diseños en misiones secundarias que tocan a veces mucho los cojones, y ciertos bugs que no son para nada divertidos. Lo recomiendo, 30 euros es un buen precio para todo lo que tiene que ofrecer.… Expand

    A great immersive and at times ridicoulus zombie game. It gets kinda repetetive after a while especially the fighting and questing but the parkour is hands down the best parkour ive played in an open world game.

    i love the physics of this game. Parkouring around the amazing city environments is a ton of fun and i like the idea of avoiding combat to escape zombies or enemies. Really great gameplay here. Story, not perfect but I do like everything else generally.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
