    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.

    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

    One of the best games I've ever played. The only thing I'd have improved was the story, specifically the relationship between Kyle and Jade. It would have made "certain" scenes more impactful.

Hats off guys, just plain awesome...anybody who hates this politically correct censorship in video games nowadays ought to buy the game just for that reason !

    Graphics are real beautiful, short loading times, no performance issues, great story, i could go on and on. Almost flawless game, the looting and lockpicking gets a little much sometimes but thats really the only dowside u could possibly ever find. Masterpiece, goes into the collection !    … Expand

There are usually ways to avoid fighting is well, which is a nice approach. My biggest "YES!!" moments though, were the tense atmosphere in the hotels, hospital, and any other small areas. Lighting is incredible, and I found my flashlight to be a close friend as I traversed The Slums, The Sewers, and Old Old Town alike. Techland, please keep making games like these.

Man of man, do I careless about those when I play this game. The gameplay is so good, the melee, the gunplay and the parkour are so enjoyable. I played both dead island games and dying light is a huge improvement upon dead island. I am a little shamed of myself to truly enjoy this game just for pure fun gameplay.. I don't care about the voice acting and the characters... I found them stupidly fun, even the story is enjoyable for me. They added a better level system and day-night cycles which are so scary. I first played the game on hard but I cannot survive a minute in the night time so I changed to normal. It is still challenging and scary sometimes.... imo, dying light is so much better than dead island, which I recommend to everyone who likes zombie games..... I know the game has tons of obvious flaws, but I dont think I have this much fun playing a video game. I got addicted badly and played around 100 hours to finish everything in the base game and the dlc, ;the game has tons of missions and things to do...this is one of the most fun games I played!… Expand

    One of the best games of 2015 and this is an amazing package. It includes all of the DLC, but that's just the icing on the cake. You also get new game play additions like the legendary skills, new weapons and new moves. The following is an amazing piece of DLC by itself and will last you 25-30 hrs of game play easily. Must have for gamers who love fun and atmospheric games.

The path finding is horrible. I ran into missions where you have to go the pharmacy for the gunsmith and the map shows that the pharmacy is the place where you are standing at but there are no ways to get in it, this shows you how lazy the developers are. Would it have killed the game developers have a hint or something to the locale of the actual opening where you can get into the pharmacy?

    Even when you completed missions, you have to look everywhere in the apartment building and there is no indicator where the mission giver is, no audio clue, no nothing so you might have to go around from 19th floor, 20th floor to 1st floor, the game doesn't tell you where you are. It's utterly frustrating.

    Later in the game you get a chance to craft a lot of arrows, etc but you cannot craft bullets? Really, this is stupid on the game designer decision, the fastest way to kill a zombie is pretty much a shot to the head but no, you cannot craft them at all, even though you can craft other weapons. And whose idea was it to be allow you to able to carry 15 guns and only have 40 ammo? This is utterly the stupidest decision I ever seen, every other games would only allow you inventory spots for as many ammo that you're carrying, like in Resident Evil, you have 50 bullets per slot and one gun slot, that could've easily be done here but no, this is just laziness on part of the developer.

    Overall, Dying Light is pretty crappy due to its major problems and that won't be fixed anytime soon, I doubt I will play Dying Light 2 unless the developer fix all of the problems in Dying Light.    … Expand

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 was a fabulous and fun game, although definitely a bit flawed. I never regretted my playtime or purchase and would buy the second one for sure, so that's a great endorsement of it. The Following expands on it by keeping the original game, adding a fun and upgradeable buggy, and having a good story and side quests to go with it. I had a lot of fun and that's the point of most games!

    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.
