    This is how you do a zombie game. Excellent use of movement and physics, decent story, satisfying platforming, and all the gory action you need.

    The same feelings are evoked as with dead island, but now with parkour. Made more of a difference than expected.

    If you want to play a zombie game this is the one, it is absolute perfection. The best zombie game to date. One of my most replayed games.

    really fun game about dropkicking zombies, didn't really care about the story but that's a me problem. Graphics were amazing and the ragdolls were funny. Only 2 problems were that the grappling hook was a little weird at times which can kill you if not careful and there is no way of exiting or restarting a challenge short of either failing or pressing along.

    Zamanındaki en iyi oyunlardandı sadece hikayesi kötüdür parkur yakın dövüş mekanikleri iyidir

    Dying Light is the ultimate zombie game.

    After playing Dead Island in 2011, I was thirsty to whack zombies again. I hesitated between Dying Light 1 and 2, and I was absolutely right to take 1 when I see the face of 2. Good points : - The fights are excellent, being able to dismember the zombies is enjoyable - AI (of non-zombie enemies) very correct - The atmosphere of Harkan the    Dying Light is the ultimate zombie game.

    I hesitated between Dying Light 1 and 2,
    and I was absolutely right to take 1 when I see the face of 2.

    Good points :
    - The fights are excellent, being able to dismember the zombies is enjoyable
    - AI (of non-zombie enemies) very correct
    - The atmosphere of Harkan the city of the game
    - Very endearing NPCs and a pretty good villain
    - Long lifespan, with 50% of side quests which are good and the rest a little mediocre
    - Excellent soundtrack, very discreet
    - Main quest missions are fun
    - Incredible DLCs let's say it, The Following and Hellraid are masterclasses

    Negative points :
    - Some little worked side quests
    - Lack of balance of some zombies at the end of the game
    - The loot is quite boring, no big surprises with weapons
    - The crafts system is blah
    - The skill to run on the walls is a real ordeal, do not activate it

    The ultimate Zombie experience for so far.
    Do not take the 2 which regresses in any point compared to this one.    … Expand

    My favourite Zombie game of all time. I didn’t hear about it until after its release and got it for $10 off Kijiji. Best $10 I’ve ever spent in my life. I played this through twice and spent probably at least a 100 hours playing. Dying Light 2 however sucks really bad and I spent $130 on that.

    This game is a very good open world with a lot of side quest to do. In my opinion dying light is the best open world zombie game.

    I saw the story when the game came out and i loved it. I didn't have a good pc back then so i only watched the gameplay. Last year Dying Light 2 came out and i knew i had to play it now that i had a more capable pc . After i finished the second game i wanted to play the first one also and it was so good. Both games are awesome. The only thing that i feel is missing is the love intrest. YouI saw the story when the game came out and i loved it.

You kinda get a taste of that but it's very little. And maybe is just me , i mean , i get why it would't be space for love. In a world so **** like that maybe getting attached to someone isn't the best idea. Idk. But even with that missing i still loved both games.… Expand

    A truly fun well made zombie game. Gameplay is very responsive and rewarding especially when you're fully upgraded. Co-Op is implemented seamlessly and the more in your game the more fun it is. I've played this game to it's completion twice and every part of it never failed to entertain me. DLC is also a hoot too.

    One of the best ganes i have ever played. The combat is extremly satisfying and the zombie physics as well. The story is good, but a little short. They nailed the two maps both are really great.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    В момент своего выхода игра поразила меня в самое сердце своим испонением и уровнем качества. Для меня лично, эта игра, на ровне с Ведьмаком 3- игра поколения. Игра, на котрую необходимо равняться каждой студии разработчиков.
    Бесподобная графика, боевка, паркур, саундтрек. Интересный и в меру трагичный сюжет, Кадыр Сулейман надолго запомнился мне своей жестокой философией, примерно как    В момент своего выхода игра поразила меня в самое сердце своим испонением и уровнем качества.

    All I can say is this is one of my favorite zombie games. Also, the story of the hero is very interesting and we can see here the choice and change of the main character Kyle Crane. the mechanics are really well done especially parkour. Techland did a really good job.

    The best zombie game I've ever played, an excellent system of fighting and parkour, the story is not the best of all, but it's a good decision to be part of it in the first person and with good missions secondaries, it becomes very entertaining and fun.

    With some crazy fun online elements and a badass sense of actual achievement, Dying Light is the zombie game we've been working for. Just mute those terrible voices. [Issue#254, p.64]

    It's not perfect, but Dying Light is last, brutal and most importantly, fun. [April 2015, p74]
