    Quite good game, slashing zombies with home made burning swords/katanas cannot be better but getting boring too early, no boss fights at all (just bigger monsters), final boss in retail is disappointment (no real fight), endless resources farming and endless zombies spawning.

I liked graphics and design, as a polish player there is so many familiar things from my country, especially from communism era, like bikes, ovens, analogs TVs, settlements, sewer pipes, fuses etc. I really liked it.… Expand

    There is a misunderstanding when a game that gives more for the player to do, that it instantly is deemed only a pro without understanding how well done the content is.

Dying Light's definitive version is one that only zombie fanatics and those that have friends on with them alot will find the most enjoyment in the game. The story is cliched and through the expansion blows up and turns to ash in terrible fashion. The gameplay is good, but the challenge and merit is too simple even on harder difficulties once you obtain powerful weapons. The game is simply "another zombie game" that doesn't push anything forward or tries anything creative that many zombie games have done. This is not to say it sucks, but it's disappointing how some people think that adding more means its more value when really it can actually dilute it instead. The Following expansion and other DLC is lackluster and ultimately forgettable, which doesn't bold well with the base game already having a crowded foundation that has nowhere to grow organically. With weak add-ons and a flawed base game, the definitive version becomes more niche than it would like.… Expand

    buen juego en verdad , lo unico con el tempo se hace algo monotono es ir de punto A a punto B la historias tampoco es que tenga el suficiente salseo para que te interese demasiado , lo bueno que ha metido es su ultimo dlc ya que amplia mucho el juego y le da de nuevo algo mas de jugabilidad

    When I first started the game I thought to myself... it's just assassins creed with zombies.

However as I began to get more into the game, hearing it's intriguing sound tracks and deathly zombie hallows as I traversed the big open world of Dying Light, I found myself enjoying it more and more. Even now I am going back to it now and then just for the experience of jumping around killing zombies and completing side quests to get that sweet XP. Building on the XP RPG system of the game, jumping around rooftops actually rewards you agility XP, while combat has its own skill tree along with survival for completing quests. Traversing the world at night for bonus XP felt satisfying and very rewarding watching that meter slowly rise up the more complicated moves you do keeps you entertained throughout.

    The plot of the story is nothing special which is a little more of a let down however in The Following DLC it was much more interesting and original which I liked and felt real progression whenever I found out anything new. Moreover the following adds a car into the mix rather than simply going around rich or poor cities jumping around their rooftops you're presented with a much more open world with not as much rural activity but a whole lot more zombies.

    Overall I feel this game is a definite worth buying as it isn't that expensive now and runs very smoothly on PS4. A new and fresh game with a gritty feel to it that keeps you on your toes.    … Expand

    Dying Light is an improvement from Dead Island, and the Enhanced Edition is well worth the price you pay for it with over 50 hours of total content. However, most games with parkour tend to suffer from AI and control and clipping issues, and Dying Light is unfortunately included in that bunch.

    The good bits: bashing zombies' skulls in never gets old. And the music is nice & synthwavy.

    The not so good bits: when parcouring works is great, but more often than not it doesn't causing you to crater to your death (or something like that). Also, the lock picking gets old pretty soon. And the finale was a real let down to me, I mean talk about ramping the difficulty up to "crazy"...    The good bits: bashing zombies' skulls in never gets old. And the music is nice & synthwavy.

    I REALLY wanted to love this game, but every zombie is a damage sponge. I’m looting for an hour and spending it all in just a few encounters to do quests, and then I have to go out and loot again. It feels tiresome. The amount of damage that the zombies can absorb without dying makes me cringe every time I arrive at a new quest zone and see there’s another fatty in an orange jumpsuit—ohI REALLY wanted to love this game, but every zombie is a damage sponge.

And if I take the easy way out and just use a gun, a million virals come and try to climb down my throat at once.

    The game shows a lot of promise, but I’m done.    … Expand

    From time to time I mention that I'm not the greatest fan of the zombie survival genre. It often becomes very stale gameplay-wise and the stories are generally quite bad. It is also true that remarkable games like The Last of Us and TellTales' The Walking Dead also exist as a saving grace in this crappy genre and I would say Dying Light also offered a worthwhile experience.

    Dying Light mixes excellent exploration thanks to its parkour mechanics and decent and straight-forward combat. It's fun and addictive when played with friends. Unfortunately, the story pulls it back. Just like most works in the zombies' genre it sucked and the final mission/ending almost ruined the game.

    It's no perfect game by any means but within the genre, it is quite good and very fun to play if you ignore its cliché plot. The DLC is cool but gets old fast though.    … Expand

    Remember when you mindlessly ran over throngs of pedestrians on GTA ‘just because’? Now you can do that with zombies.

    A DLC that has all rights to be considered a proper expansion, The Following adds so much to Dying Light that it almost feel like a proper standalone game. This is a great example of how DLC should be made - with new map, incredibly fun addition of vehicles and even improving upon the familiar gameplay.

    Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition is an excellent package from Techland. It’s filled with content, and will keep any enthusiast of the zombie genre hooked for a good, long time.
