    A very fun game to play and watch!
    The gameplay is very fluid and fun, the visuals are good and the combat, despite some flaws, is solid and easy to learn.
    And, of course, parkour [the main element of this game and the reason I bought it] is fantastic, maybe the best of the generation.

    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.

    This game aged like wine. Parkour is entertaining, Combat is satisfying and there are event's that enhance the sandbox. You must give this game a shot!

    Невероятно зрелищная и залипательная игра. Паркур и шинковка зомби - две крутые вещи, которые вместе становятся ещё круче. Сюжет достойный, не чувствуется скучным, хоть и геймплейно всё сводитя к приди, собери, повзаимодействуй, спаси, убей и тд, но подаётся всё так хорошо, что ты даже не обращаешь на это внимание, ну и к тому же РУБКА ЗОМБИ ААХХАХАХАХАХХА РЕЗНЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯ P.S.: неНевероятно зрелищная и залипательная игра.

    jogo bom pra caralho, jogabilidade bastante divertida e achei o coop sensacional, infelizmente acabei zerando rápido demais e provavelmente deixei de notar alguns ótimos pontos da história, mas amo a continuidade do jogo e tem belos visuais, sejam cenários ou até mesmo os zumbis. jogaria de novo!!

    Great co-op game which keeps you engaged with story and side missions . Singleplayer experience is also interesting.

    Great game, one of a kind. Almost a masterpiece for its time. I regret not passing it in the year of release. The variety of zombies, weapons and side quests was a bit lacking, but otherwise the game is excellent. I recommend passing. Solid 8/10.

    There are few games today that you could enjoy in 2021. Dying Light is one of them. It has many advantages: First of all, the price. The game is cheap, and if you buy the game on sale, it will cost you a penny. The second game is really interesting to play.

The second game is really interesting to play. The graphics to this day are not the same as in Call of Duty (and in Call of Duty the graphics are pretty bad, just look at the grass under you). Elements of survival, craftsmanship, parkour - are wonderful. The third the game does not require a powerful PC. I have a non powerful computer and the game is running at high settings. 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

    There‘s so much to do, it doesn’t get boring. The Graphics are phenomenal and aged really good for a game released in 2015. The Story is well written too and the side quests have a good depth with cutscenes, unexpected plottwists and good but short character building. Nice and many features!

    Одна из лучших игр в которые я когда либо играл. Интересные фишки, геймплей, паркур, графика - это часть того, за что я люблю этот продукт от Techland. Да, сюжет сыроват, с этим сложно поспорить, но всё равно, в нём что-то есть.

    Плюсы
    +Саунд
    +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.
    +Последняя миссия заставила попарится) Злодей не хотел помирать с первой попытки)

Самое интересное наступает ночью, когда увеличивается множитель опыта и можно найти самый интересный лут и ... на охоту выходят НОЧНЫЕ СТАЛКЕРЫ... Они прекрасно бегают за героем по крышам, трубам, находят почти везде и убивают за пару ударов. Это вам не Assasin`s Creed, где от любой стражи элементарно уйти по крышам, попивая чай. В игре не самый интересный сюжет, но много побочных квестов интересных, мрачных локаций для исследования, испытаний в духе "пробейся через толпу зомби к выходу за 30 секунд" или "обгони другого паркурщика" и , конечно же, орды различных зомби. Я не фанат зомбаков, но игра вполне неплоха.… Expand

    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.
