    This is on of the Best DLC i've ever seen. It's really incredible mechanics, artificial intelligence is powerful on the game. Also Dying Light it's a beautiful game. Thanks for the amazing game.

    What an amazing game. Physics are incredible. So much to do. Beware. The first two hours aren't fun. But once you're in, my goodness the game delivers time and again. Best single player zombie game I've ever played.

    Normally I would not write a review for this game, but considering a huge pile of poop that is coming out in 2017 from AAA publishers I decided to take a step back.

    Firstly I would like to thank the developers for making a solid game. Its truly enjoyable. Without a doubt it's the best zombie game I've played so far. Really beautiful and offer enough content to keeps you going. When I players the first 2 maps I thought it would be nice to have something else, like car and more open world... and there it is. :)

    At the moment this is the 2nd game in my life where another DLC would be much appreciated. Techland and CD Project RED guys are the best.

    PS: no microtransations :D

    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.

    For me,this is the best zombie game ever. Rich game, stunning visuals, nice story. The thing i need to especially compliment is the MUSIC. Both in the original and in The Following, music is one of the best gaming tracks ever. Worth your money.

    yes yes yes, they made a great game even better with this DLC that feels more like a sequel. and unlike those crooks bungie who gave their destiny Taken King Edition as a DLC code that can be redeemed only once , you really get what u paid for here, the whole package. main game, all DLCs and The Following.

    The Gore Level shown in dying light and its DLCs should be industry standard,

    The Gore Level shown in dying light and its DLCs should be industry standard, (wink @ Ubisoft !!!). chopping off heads and limbs, hacking bodys in 2 parts , blood spurting from decapitated torsos and the likes. 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 !

    I started the game a little skeptical. Once a huge zombie fan, I've played Dead Island as well. I won't say they were bad, but a few glitches in the cinematics and the style weren't my cup of tea. This game though, beautiful, beautiful Dying light made me fall in love with the genre again.

It brough tme back to the glory days of RE: 4. I love the free running, and then tense chase sequences and the freedom to play how I wanted to really sealed the deal. The fighting is fantastic. 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. I would rate higher if I could. Expand

    Awesome game and dlc , best stress reliever after a hard days work . Love running around seeing how many zombies I can take on. One of the top zombie game packages out at the moment. Every encounter feels tense and personal. Found the bladed weapons the best for dismembering and decapitating. The day/ night cycles add a great depth to the gameplay as the hunter becomes the hunted.Awesome game and dlc , best stress reliever after a hard days work .

    After the disappointment of no Left 4 Dead 3 announcement at E3, i decided to try this game and while the similarities end at zombies, i was not disappointed.

    I should start by pointing out that the graphics for this game are amazing, and the gameplay at times is extremely suspenseful if not genuinely frightening. Certain aspects really reminded me of Far Cry 4, from the climbing of towers, beautiful visuals, the antagonist, even the protagonists voice. I must say though that as much as i enjoyed that game, this one was evern more rewarding of an experience.

    This is truly one of the most suspenseful, or "scary" games I've played. And it should be said, THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR CHILDREN, it is extremely violent, disturbing, and has plenty of adult language.

    If you like zombie games, open-world games, or survival games, I highly suggest this game. It may not be one for your girlfriend, but I'll definitely recommend it to any gamer with the nerve to stomach an intense game like this. As far as horror games go, this one gets an A+

    I highly recommend this game.
    This is the best zombie game I played. The map is huge and full of fun stuff to do.
    Playing with friends is also very enjoyable. It feels like being in a walking dead world.
    For 30$ it's a steal!

    Dying Light + DLC are my personal Highlight for PS4. I played the game x times and it is fun since the first play. Dying Light contains tons of easter eggs and fun things. I can't wait for Dying Light 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Отличная игра, контента просто завались. А кооператив создаёт ещё большее разнообразие для игры. Все сделано очень годно. Дополнение как по мне затянуто, слишком много миссий принеси-отнеси. Но тоже довольно неплохое, чуточку хуже основной истории, а финал :'( 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.

    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!

    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.
