    This has to be one of the most intense games that I have ever played. At night it has a very creepy and adrenaline fueled vibe that only games like Dead Space have had. During the day, its all about running from zombies and finding new and innovative ways to kill them. The story... I can see why people might say that its generic, but I will be damned if it isn't entertaining! And theThis has to be one of the most intense games that I have ever played.

The story... I can see why people might say that its generic, but I will be damned if it isn't entertaining! And the parkour... oh the parkour.... Its one of the most difficult, but one of the most satisfying things this game has to offer. You'll often be questioning if you can make that jump or not, and when you do attempt to make it, you're holding your breath for that second that it takes for the jump to end. But then your guy grabs onto the ledge and you exhale. I've never played a game that's done that to me.

    The one gripe that's also praise is that **** is this game hard. From going across tight ropes suspended high above the ground to the combat, this is truly one of the most difficult games that I've played. Its frustrating at times however, because, for instance, your character is severely limited in his ranged attacks but your enemies aren't, so you have to be very strategic in going about beating them without getting torn to bits by their bullets.

    Overall, I would reccomend this game to anyone and everyone.    … Expand

    Really trying to like this game but when you die 3-5 times for every single mission(even side missions) it get's old really quick. Admittedly I may just suck.

    Graphics are nice and the thought is nice, but it's too frustrating for me to play. It seems more like a chore than fun to turn this game on.

What I found to be helpful is to stand on top of rooftops and plan out your path. If I had one complaint it's that as you start leveling up it starts making the game easier, I am a casual gamer though so this did not bother me so much as there are a ton of missions and side missions to keep you busy, and there are definitely still challenges. All in all if you enjoyed Dead Island I think you'll enjoy this game.… Expand

    Dying Light is probably the most detailed and ambitious open world zombie game I have seen.

Numerous side missions within two large open mapsDying Light is probably the most detailed and ambitious open world zombie game I have seen. It properly captures a good mix of zombie fun with zombie fear along with satisfying combat and a rewarding looting systems complimented with a good crafting system. Additionally, the story may not have been too compelling, but was good nonetheless. Numerous side missions within two large open maps to explore allowed plenty of content and the how the game handled combat, creative, and evasive mechanics kept all that content varied and fresh.

    I found its main story to be somewhat satisfying, there were some parts that shocked and amazed me. I actually enjoyed the main characters and the overall realistic and more serious tone of the story fit well with the game as a whole. Side missions became a very enjoyable part of the game; and the characters involved with them were are unique and I didn't feel like I was doing a chore, getting a reward, and moving on. Most of them had some extent of story to it which easily made up the fact that they were mainly errand boy missions; and the games many creative game mechanics allowed it to be very enjoyable as I could usually take a variety of approaches.

    Creativity is especially encouraged; I could use a variety of movement abilities and combat abilities to combo together and execute some very enjoyable and satisfying moves. The games 3 skill trees allowed me to get more and more abilities that all added to the game as a whole. Ideas like zombie camouflage were plain genius to have while abilities like drop kick and grapple are among the funnest to do in combination with other abilities. I almost always found a new skill to spend a skill point on that would significantly change my play style or at least give me an ability that would make a difference whether in or out of combat. Some others include snapping necks, using zombies as a pole vault, tackling, throwing my weapon, among many abilities that would allow me to craft awesome equipment.

    But the creativity doesn't stop there. A huge and overwhelming amount of weaponry allowed me to take up almost any combat style I felt like taking. And its not limited to just melee weapons, but various throw-able weapons like throwing stars, grenades, and Molotov. Not to mention guns, which seemed unfinished, but did not bother me one bit as I much preferred melee weaponry (which was not only funner but encouraged) and almost never used guns, but its good to see that the option to use them was there. The addition of weapon upgrades with elemental effects to both melee and thrown equipment created significantly more fun. These ideas really lived up to and surpassed the idea of creative brutality, not to mention many traps varied around the city. All these options gave me many tactical approaches that were so very satisfying to pull off.

    Yet there is still more; craft-able equipment like riot shields (with elemental options), firecrackers, flares and others like grappling hooks and the oh so important UV flashlight all had a place in the game. Possibilities became endless, and the fact that some of these required blueprints only encouraged exploration around the map which further encouraged the games smooth movement system.

    The two maps of Old Town and Harran were both very complimentary to the parkour system and the many various structures were located to allow and encourage smooth movement. Exploration was very fun as new areas felt fresh and the hunt for better loot, material, and blueprints fit well and did not at all feel like a farm fest.

    Looting was a core mechanic and finding that new badass weapon was always a thrill for me and, although durability would seem like a problem, I always found a better, cooler weapon before it was even half broken. Looting was rewarding and the lock picking minigame made sense to me and I was perfectly content with it.

    Combat feels and plays great. I've already mentioned many combat moves and there are many more still unmentioned. When I hit a zombie with a blunt weapon, it feels real, the sound gives a feel a realism and using sharp edged weapons are satisfying to use to dismember zombies.

    Graphically, the game is beautiful, even the zombies are beautiful in their own way (except the Toads). The only bad thing about this is that the facial animations on characters are sometimes dull, but mainly on the non-important characters.

    Zombies are as they should be: Dumb and slow, but very dangerous in numbers. Among the regular zombies are, however, many other zombie types that keep the challenges fresh and varied. one biter isn't a challenge and is rather a play doll I can enjoy messing with, 5-10 zombies will test my parkour and evasive moves, and 20-30 zombies is certain death.

    **Out of characters :(

    Night time adds in a real scare factor that is executed wonderfully.

    Multiplayer is VERY fun with friends and Be The Zombie is an AMAZING addition.

    Dying Light for the PS4 is like a girlfriend who is drop dead beautiful. She's not very bright but still enjoyable to talk to. And she is so absolutely amazing in bed that you don't mind anymore that the reason she doesn't know how to dial 911 is because she cannot find the "11" button on the phone.

    This is likely the first time I have had this much fun with a game since The Last of Us. Yesa, yes, I know. They are 2 completely different games.

What I mean is that it doesn't happen often that a game can totally submerge me into the "set" if you will. Just like The Last of Us, Dying Light is a Vast, and beautiful play ground. Sure, starting off the main character in Dying Light (Crane) is a bit under-powered, which makes fighting zombies real difficult. NEWSFLASH! It is supposed to be. :-) Part of what submerged me in this game is the realization that Crane is not a super soldier that blows everything up and puts fifty bullets into anything that moves. He is a survivor. He survives, not dominates. That being said, as you progress in the game you will experience the almost perfect skill tree system. Survivor, Agility, and power are what you can choose from and each category has (I think 20 or so) different skills to choose from. Survivor points are awarded mostly after completing story missions, and quests. Power points are awarded for each zombie, or goon killed. Agility (which is probably what I find most fun) is awarded by "parkouring" your way around the huge map called Harran. The parkour was the highlight for me. If you know what to look for, and you will after some play time, you can move seamlessly and almost effortlessly across village rooftops or highway car pileups. A lot of people are reminded of Mirrors edge when playing this game. I have never played mirrors edge so I cannot say I agree, but I will say that this is a MUST play. Techland out-did themselves. I tried and tried to get into the Dead Island games but i did not like them at all. I just didn't much like the overall "attitude" of the game. It was hard to take seriously, but this came has risen to my top 10 for sure. Give it a try.… Expand

    may be squalid and zombie-infested, but Dying Light's city of Harran isn't a depressing wasteland – it's a vibrant, ambitious, open-world playground.

    My experience with Dying Light has been an addictive, well rounded game mechanic with plenty to do. The XP upgrade system is excellent and worth pursuing, and the parkour style works really well in terms of it being a bit hard to master at first but then you can really start to rely on it once you understand it well. Visually the game is beautiful though I find skins a bit bland overall.

    The only real gripe I have - and its a big one - is the story and voice acting. Terribly boring and predictable scenario and characters you meet. Their accents are all over the place (and not in an interesting/good way) it feels 'b' grade in that category. Its the kind of plot that feels deeply immature and dated for its lack of fresh personalities or decisions. I'd rate the game lower but I think it would do a huge injustice to the efforts put into the rest of the game which are top notch.

    Also as I'm late to the game (few patches already implemented) I have found it to be glitch/bug free which was surprising given other reviewers reservations.

    Highly recommended overall. Varied, addictive and fun.    … Expand

    I waited a year for this game to come out. And when it finally did, i was not disappointed. The gameplay is incredible, and the graphics are nothing short of gorgeous. Just exploring the massive open world is a blast. The only downside is that the story isn't super original, and there is a very cliche hallucination level at one point. other than that, i loved it, and i still can't put it down.

    Dying light. A truly amazing game with so much content. The game itself looks gorgeous and the parkour system is absolutely fantastic. Dying light deserves a solid 9 rating. The reason being is because the story and the many clichés brings it down a little bit. Either way, an excellent game that I can't stop playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this game. I thought it was a great combination of Mirrors Edge Parkour gameplay and Dead Island with the Zombie Apocalypse build random stuff out of other random stuff. I was amazed on the graphics quality and the way the game handled. The down side is although the story line was great and easy to sink into it was met with bland ending of just an action sequence to finalize the game. I've seen too many games this day and age that giving you this huge rush of trying to get to the end to meet the final boss and the climax of the game ends up being near the low point. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a great time and laughs with friends.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At the time of release, I didn't really know much about the game or what incentive there would be to buy it. I ignored it, thinking it was an indie game (due to a huge lack of marketing in my area). Several months later, my next door neighbour bought the game and I had a playthrough. I was shocked by how brilliant the game was. i only played the first mission, but in that I already knew who the main characters were, as the game has an excellent way of telling the story. So I bought the game just before my birthday, and I've now played through the entire game. I will go through the story (there is one, and a pretty good one) the positives, and anything that could be improved on in the future.

    You start the game with a cutscene that explains about the crysis happening in Haraan, a small Turkish town which has been put under quarentine by the UN (best zombie apocolypse handling ever) and you are playing as a field agent used to salvage documents for your higher collective. You are Kyle Crane, an American male voiced by Roger Craig Smith (voice of Ezio from AC, Batman in Arkham Origins and the new Sonic) as you are airdropped right into the middle of the slums. You fall onto a light trap and badly injure yourself before being rescued by the runners of the Tower (your home base) and are patched up and welcomed to surprisingly open arms. Partly because you are nigh-on immune to the virus.

    You quickly meet the main group of characters: Rahim; a young and daring ambitious parkour specialist (who looks like the main character from Pyschonauts), Jade; a famous local kickboxer who is aesthetically stunning but also quite fiesty (cliched, kind of) and Brecken, the leader of the Tower (and also the guy from the trailer) who sounds and acts exctly like Jason Statham. Rahim gives you a quick parkour training where you soon impress (if you are good at the game) and are used to do shifts for the people of the tower.

    The main story is: Keep the Tower up on their Antizin intake (which isn't an actual mechanic in the game, which I wish would be) and either scavange from airdrops / buy from Rais (bad idea) and help Dr. Zere in his research to find a cure. The deals with Rais go **** up so you are forced into a Civil war of sorts with his men. As with Zere, he asks you to fight through the old disheveled parts of town to Dr. Camden, his co-worker. Not gonna spoil too much more, so you can play the game yourself.

    Pros include: There is a massive emphasis on realism and immersion. The game's amazing audio and vibe allow this with precision, especially early in the game where you are beating off zombies with nailed sticks. The zombies are graphically detailed and their AI is (mostly) well made. With the first person element, you feel like you are really Kyle Crane and you are really in a fight for survival. The protagonists are so well acted, I could see Crane's voice actor picking up awards for this year where voice acting has really not been strong. The open world is incredibly beautiful and feels more next-gen than 90% of next-gen games. The game is beautifully crafted and the art style is utterly superb, and when it turns to night, it holds this with its gritty dark tone that makes the dark something to be feared.

    The gameplay is incredible. The dynamic parkour and the environment go hand in hand in a beautiful display which feels like heaven if you've just finished playing Cod. This really helps both at day and at night, in every situation. The combat feels like a massive improvement from Dead Island is gets even better when you move further down the skill tree. It gives the gain replayability when it is this fun to bash zombie's brains in. How ironic.

    Now for the negatives. It is best said that the cliches could drive a nitpicker round the bend, especially with all of the comparisons to Far Cry. The antagonist is very flimsily portrayed, who rightly is just a Turkish Vaas knock-off. Turkey are 'good' on their knock-offs. Also, the AI can be laughable at times, mainly with Rais's men and grounded zombies, especially with the voice queues. Unfair to say, they weren't given that good a script. Said script which makes half of the characters in the game unlikable. The character models on most NPCs are the same and are similar to that of the Marines in Halo: CE. It doesn't help when most character have the same body language besides the ones that have had effort given to them. And finally, the online. It may be good in co-op, but Be the Zombie is pretty damned broken. Just stick to the main game.

    I played this game almost fully on my own, so my experiences are from playing alone. My experience: the game is brilliant. This is possibly the best zombie game ever in terms of immersion and playability. I love this game, it is some of the most fun I've had in a single player game. One problem though: When you run out of missions, it gets boring quickly. Very quickly. I give this game a 9/10 on the fact that it plays so damn well.    … Expand

    Dying light on the ps4 is a very fun game. It's a amazing open world zombie action game. If you like zombies buy this game right now! The story and characters are cliched but you will not care one bit because you will be having to much fun. There have also been no bugs as I played. The graphics are amazing thanks to the ps4 and it works very well on the ps4.

    Dying Light is a really awesome open world zombie game with great graphics, gameplay (thanks to the parkour and fun open world), and has lots of replay value. Where it falls a bit short is in the story and voice acting, but it is definitely still worth your time if you enjoy zombie games.

    Dying Light is an amazing game with stunning graphics and fluid mechanics this game is one of the best games I've played, However, the only con of this game is that there's so much tension throughout the game, that when you eventually complete it the ending is very abrupt.

The game is pretty, stable and fun. The story so far (12 hours in) is better than I expected. The parkour is fun but would be much better if the jump and grab worked all the time unstead of just 2/3 of the time. It is so annoying jumping up and down uselessly while trying to grab a ledge while zombies are breathing down your neck (why do you need to look up to jump up - seems unnecessary). I wish they would get the code from Uncharted or Assassins Creed or Shadow of Mordor for parkour and this would be one hell of a game. Yet I am still playing because it is still fun and I seem to care what happens. Combat is decent, but you feel pretty underpowered at first and the game pretty much encourages you to run away from most fights (although you will have to fight to clear safehouses). I can see it getting tedious if one played the game nonstop start to finish (which is what the reviewers are doing more or less), but in 2-3 hour chunks it is good fun. The quests do bring this game down a little. That much is true. Just when you think you have finished a quest, they say, "Oh and one more thing you have to do before I give you your reward." Yet, they are fun enough to keep me playing longer than I have played in a long time. Night is scary and I haven't ventured out much yet because I am a wuss. So far I have 2 quests that require night and I did the one mandatory one. It wasn't too difficult (avoid vision cones on mini map which makes you move slower - if you try to speed run you will have 5 of them - special night zombies - on your butt in no time and they are fast). One other thing. The city design seems like it could have been better thought out to make running the roof tops faster and easier, but it adds to realism when your rooftops run out (not that jumping like this game is ultra realistic - but who cares - its a game). Also, a way to climb down would be nice (currently the only way down is to jump in trash bags or jump and hope it isn't high enough to kill you). Many have listed the facial animations as a detractor and while the characters are not super expressive, its not bad enough to take me out of the story (the animations are not robotic or anything). Upgrades and crafting are rewarding and well done. I am glad I took the chance on this game! Good fun that I see playing until the end (which I can't seem to do with most open world quest slogs).… Expand

Dying Light features three distinct skill trees that level up based on the objectives the player completes, the amount of parkour one does, and how many enemies the player takes down. The skill trees were one of my favorite mechanics behind this game as everything contained within was of great use; I actually felt rewarded by leveling my character. The open world is huge, and separated into two distinct zones in which the player can travel back and forth. There is no fast travel in Dying Light, which I found added to the game. It meant that I had to learn the terrain so I could make my way around quickly and strategically which added a good deal of immersion to my experience. The day/night cycle were a good addition to the experience as well. During the night, the enemies are harder to escape and will chase you down usually resulting in death. The trade-off is that you get bonus experience towards your skills at night, which makes leveling up quicker. The story isn't bad either, but the one-dimensional characters aren't going to win any awards either. I played Dying Light on the PC and would say that it's worth playing.… Expand

This game is more or less the same, vehicles are replaced by parkour, core gameplay remains the same with mostly melee combat, with loot used to find better weapons/ or to create items, throwables, medkits, etc. But It definitely feels like a sequel and is no Dead Island 1.5. Now, the story is just as generic as Dead Island (maybe more?), it really is cliche as a zombie story you can get. Now for the pros and cons of this game. The pros are the parkour of this game, it adds a fresh twist to the game and is generally fun, especially with the grappling hook. The general game play (open world, combat, graphics, looting/crating, etc) to me is good and fun, but everything is limited. You'll be using the same weapons throughout the game, just with stronger stats. The blueprints to create stronger weapons was also limited; its basically adding fire, electric, impact, and toxic; except they make it look like a lot by giving it different names for different classes of weapons. It gives the illusion of tons of blueprints to collect, when there aren't. This is definitely not Dead Rising when it comes to crafting weapons, its like a watered down version of it. The worst part of this game is probably the side quests, the majority of side content are either unrewarding, a grind, or copy and paste of each other. However protection quests are fun,challenging, and rewarding, and clearing safe houses are also fun. Overall good core game play, with a lot of so-so elements added to it. To recap the good: The Parkour, general game play. The Bad: Cliche Zombie story and grindy/ unrewarding side quests. When it comes down to it, I can't recommend this game to everyone as it can get repetitive like Dead Island, but guaranteed anyone who enjoyed Dead Island WILL enjoy this game just as much, if not more.… Expand

    The largest and most noticeable change is with the running mechanic which when comfortable with is done amazingly well! The night time fights and mini games are loads of fun and add an additional element to the game that I was a little leery about but now look forward to.

    Hiccup free play online, great graphics, great soundtrack. Much like Dead Island, the atmosphere is top notch! If you're like me and like to play online with friends, this is a must have for you.

    I agree with others, there should be more vehicle's in the game and I've noticed so far there are less weapons available for pickup than Dead Island but that just means a greater need for inventory/weapon management which I like.

Dying Light is generally a darker, more serious game then the former title, however the main antagonist Kyle Crane has some of the most bland and generic dialogue moments I've ever heard in a game. I'm not a big fan of Crane at all - he's about as generic of an American antagonist as can be, and most of his dialogue is just cheesy. That being said, the game's main story is engaging, and there are many side quests to do to keep you on your toes as well. I'm a fan of the new parkour elements implemented throughout the game - they seem to add an even greater element of tension and exploration. The soundtrack from this game is also very unique, and almost serves as a 70's/80's horror film throwback. The game can be a bit buggy however; the key things I have noticed is that the parkour elements can be somewhat unreliable at times, and when moving through the open world at a fast pace there seems to be some frame dropping occasionally. The durability and stamina systems would be more fair individually, however when put together they can make combat very frustrating early on. Fortunately, you level up fairly quickly by gaining experience for doing just about anything and everything. It's also fair to point out that the graphics for this game are great - they may not be the best that the PS4 has to offer, but it's a definite step up over previous gen titles. Dying Light is sure to develop a cult following just as the Dead Island titles - if you are looking for a first person zombie basher with rpg elements and a fusion of parkour gameplay, then you'll probably enjoy this game.… Expand

    An immersive combat and weapon customization system successfully smooths over the cracks of an imperfect story in "Dying Light," Techland's much-improved spiritual successor to "Dead Island," where the parkour may be a bit cumbersome at times and the side quests might be a tad too monotonous for my tastes, but overall, the experience is nonetheless noteworthy and satisfying.

Just so you know where I'm coming from, I did NOT play Dead Island AND I have never played a "parkour", Mirror's Edge type game... so this was pretty new and exciting for me. Love the music, love the open world and level of detail. Night is scary enough but when a player invades your game as a hunter it gives a whole new meaning to the game... My heart was pumping the first time this happened, kind of like the first time I was invaded by an enemy player in Dark Souls.

    It's not a perfect game.. Every person you meet for the first time decides to confess all their life secrets to you which is odd. Melee combat against zombies can get a bit tiresome.

    But I have to say, if I've been playing the game all weekend.. Its good enough for me.    … Expand

Combining Mirror's Edge style parkour movement with Dead Island style combat and a zombie open-world to go parkour though is genius and makes for a very fun gaming experience. Then thrown in a day and night cycle where being out a night is much more dangerous and the last thing you want is to be caught out while the sun is going down and you've got a very scary atmosphere. Combat is very satisfying and is similar to Dead Island but much more improved. For the zombie genre fans out there, this is a very good game which you'll enjoy but for people who can't stand the zombie genre, I don't feel like this will do much for ya. They've also continued to support the game with paid and free DLC four years after release. I mean that's pretty cool.… Expand

    Never played the dead island games so I can't give any context on those, but I found this mostly enjoyable, the plot isn't gripping, the characters are forgettable, but the player is given a lot of freedom on how to progress through the story mode, and the amount of unlockable special moves allows you to play the game how you want, which is to me what saves this game. When it works well,Never played the dead island games so I can't give any context on those, but I found this mostly enjoyable, the plot isn't gripping, the characters are forgettable, but the player is given a lot of freedom on how to progress through the story mode, and the amount of unlockable special moves allows you to play the game how you want, which is to me what saves this game. When it works well, it's great, I found it immensely enjoyable to perform combat stunts such as vaulting over a zombie to drop kick another into a wall of spikes, but when it doesn't work it can be incredibly frustrating, and there's no game manual and often no explanation of what's happening, a few times, my character exploded or just died without warning and with no visual cue as to what happened, sometimes enemies would pop up mere feet away and in one mission, a large enemy's hammer would end up hitting me no matter what I did. The game uses a checkpoint system to save, there's no manual save options, and I think the developers knew what they were doing when they implemented that. Large open world games, like fallout for example, tend to have unexpected glitches in them, some fun, like characters accidently being flung into the stratosphere, or annoying, like getting stuck in the geometry and falling into a bottomless gray abyss. Thankfully, there are few and far between, and the game respawns you quickly and you're back in the action, although with a stiff penalty, the 'survivor points' which you use to purchase general skills and abilities, and which is also tied to the loot system and vendors, takes a big hit, and when it's not your fault it feels incredibly unfair. Speaking of loot, Techland pretty much ripped off Destiny's color coded loot system, although personally I think they did it much better. Each weapon has stats for base damage, durability, and handling, where rarer weapons will be better in all categories. There's also an option to upgrade, which increases these stats further, in addition to that, you can also further upgrade these weapons with improvised modifications with junk parts you find around the city to add electric shock or burning damage, which also give a nice visual modification. The system is fairly complex and should give you plenty to mull over, and the melee weapons are visually pleasing, the firearms on the other hand have little variation, and are rare, and using them will attract more enemies, although they become a necessity for certain points in the game. Ammo is even more rare in the game world, and the developers have limited your ammunition reserves to what you can carry on your person, which is around 60 pistol rounds and 100 rifle rounds, which can go pretty quickly, and which you cannot stockpile in your player's stash bag, which seemed to be a little useless after the beginning of the game, since only weapons take up space in your inventory. Co-op mode changes this a little since you can save a weapon for a friend and drop it for them, and just in general co-op mode can be a lot of fun with the improvised traps around the city, which is definitely the strongest part of the game, the wonderfully designed zombie killing sandbox.

    Pros: melee combat, weapon crafting, loot system
    environments are fun to use in zombie dispatching, parkour, well designed
    sounds are above average, not amazing but zombie howls in the distance are chilling
    night/day gameplay experience changes dramatically
    mostly well balanced

    cons: some angering, but not completely game breaking glitches
    controls wonky at times, setup is a little hard to get used to, no alternative control scheme
    story could have been improved, pacing especially
    gameplay mechanics will sometimes not work when you need them to, doesn't happen often but when it does it's aggravating

    All in all, it's worth a rental, even more if you have a friend to play it with, just don't expect a lot of gunplay, and look around the internet to get some tips since the game doesn't offer any, I was trying to decide if I should list that as a con, but I think I was just expecting more on screen hints since most new games tend to hold your hand and I've gotten used to it.    … Expand

The game looks very good and so far has very little frame rate drops and the sounds and voices are superb. This is a long game with estimated 20- to 40 hours to finish it. And the game play is fun. The be the zombie mode is pretty fun and the zombie is really agile and overpowered unless players shine a UV light on you the you are basically dead so surprise is your friend.

    The story so far is good but predictable and that is OK as some things are expected to happen when the zombie apocalypse strikes. Co-op is fun and the game remains a threat to you if you are not careful but it does take some of the tension off the fighting.

    In all a good game with plenty to do and see. I give the game an 8 its a must buy for fans of zombie games but like I said in the beginning it does suffer some significant technical hiccups that hold it back from being scored higher. Definitely worth playing.    … Expand

I understand these weren't introduced to allow players to make use of the parkour movement system.

    Graphically they game is pretty outstanding, I think it looks better than some of the videos and screenshots we have been shown for so long. I have seen some odd to downright hilarious things while playing this game, nothing game breaking, but like zombies stuck in cars or watching them fall over and over again.

    Combat is very similar to Dead Island but feel far more natural. The games level system with combat makes it seem like your weaker than you should be at first and then way stronger than anyone should be by the end. I get this is probably to give the player a sense of learning to fight and survive and while its entirely possible you will survive even the most intense swarm, just keep in mind that in most events early on its always best to just run. Once the levels start rolling in and the weapons get better and better you effectively become the Rick Grimes of Dying Light and just start mowing through the undead.

    The audio of the game is pretty spectacular, probably my favorite part. The voice acting is pretty sharp with Roger Craig Smith (Known for playing Chris Redfield & Ezio Auditore) taking the lead. The ambient noise provides great atmosphere, especially at night when things are at their creepiest. Most firearms sound average, neither great, nor bad. Weapon impact on melee weapons sound great though and add to the brutality of the actions on screen.

    As some have stated, the story is well more than I expected it to be, so I have to give them kudos for trying, the game is at it's best when playing co-op or even more so when terrorizing players as a Zombie. The only real thing I feel they missed out on was leaving out vehicles (like I stated at the start) but otherwise its a solid zombie game for next gen consoles.

    Anyway, the game will tax your skills most of the time, and some parts are really difficult if you haven't paid attention to scavenging and upgrading weapons/skills. On that note, having to pick locks in order to get the better pickups is really annoying, especially when you get swarmed by zombies as you are halfway through a pick. We could have done without the lock picking bit.

    Amazing. Colorful without looking cartoonish. Excellent animation for the free running, whose mechanics work just fine. Some of the weapon animations are weak in my opinion, but such things can be forgiven by most. I thought baseball bats would be a little more satisfying. Good detail.

    Gameplay
    Mostly tight. glitches and some faltering here and there, but over all the game works. That's more than can be said for a lot of other games. Haven't had the luxury of coop yet, so I can't comment there. Loot system, upgrade system, skill tree, level up system all seem to have been tested and balanced very well. Nothing seems wasted, nothing seems superfluous. Side missions are acceptable. Nothing super memorable, but they seem to generally add something to the story, however minimally. Experience and rewards are given at a steady pace.

    Over all, Techland did a good job. It's not epic. It doesn't revolutionize anything, but it's a solid, fun experience for me so far. Monotony doesn't shake a grinder such as myself as easily as some, even so, the monotony in this game is not as painful as other games I've played.

Another fact that I somehow don't like is a timing issue let's say. Example: you have this mission which sound so urgent and you have to go immediately in a certain place, but actually you can do all the side missions including bringing crayons to children during a span of 4 5 game days and then go to the urgent place. It kind of loses first impact you get from the game, impact you get in first missions when there is no side mission.

On the gameplay front, it is not half bad - It really is a different game during the day and at night, the day time zombies are slow moving dimwitted things but at night, it is genuinely terrifying as you hear noises everywhere but are in complete pitch black darkness. More than once I found myself genuinely a bit scared and my heart racing as I ran back to the safety of a blue light.... The story and quests are OKAY, they're nothing extraordinary but it is nothing to shake your head at.

    The only negatives are that the crafting and economy is a little frustrating at the beginning, particularly with weapons only being able to be repaired a limited number of times. The parkour can be controller smashingly frustrating at times - when you run and jump for a ledge only to find yourself smashing into a wall. The real gripe I have is the key layout and why on earth this cannot be changed for jumping and climbing... seriously annoying.

    Technically the game is very good, with very beautiful graphics for early 2015, specially the light effects which is obvious thanks to the day/night cycle. Everything is detailed and you don't feel like the city was built using only a few models of building thanks to all those details. The animations are top notch too with great realistic feeling when you're running and such. Also it is important to point the lack of glitches (very rare in open worlds game) and the solid framerate even when there's a lot of zombies on the screen.

    Concerning the gameplay we find everything we encountered in Dead Island : focus on melee fights, very important looting system and the use of mods to upgrade your weapon, the possibility to play in coop, an open world with a lot of side quests, and the introduction to modified zombies the further you progress in the game. But we also had the parkour abilities of our character which enhance all the trips you have to make in the city making a run in the rooftops equally fun to a brawl with zombies and the previously mentioned day/night cycle that introduce a new kind of gameplay (at night) when you're the prey of the strongest kind of zombies (who might be a player if your enable the option) that also allows new emotions. Those two additions make for a worthy (unofficial) sequel. The only downside is the repetitivity of the game, a flaw that plagues many open worlds and you won't encounter new situations during the second half of the game.

    Concerning the story, it's pretty classic for a zombie outbreak with themes such as the search of a cure and the biggest threat being other humans. It won't win any prize but it's efficient and you can rely with the characters. The game also offers a lot of side quests and it's good to see that most have their own stories (a few of them are just request on a billboard) that makes them more interesting and you want to see them through, some will even impact your environment. If you want to finish the game at 100% you can expect more or less 30 hours of gameplay with 12 for the main campaign, it's in the good average for this kind of game.

    In conclusion Dying Light improves on the Dead Island formula and it's without a doubt the best zombie game available for PS4, but it misses originality in its gameplay and its story to appeal for gamers that aren't interested in zombies. But if you like to smash the heads of the undead I definitively advise this game.    … Expand

    Not just another zombie game
    dying light is an open world rpg style game from the developer of the original dead island and it shows
    dead island is very cartoony compared to the more mature toned Dying Light
    This is a much grittier game that takes itself much more seriously
    you’re an undercover agent named Kyle Crane sent to infiltrate a quarantine zone
    as soon as you get there you see that the place is crawling with zombies and other survivors
    you’re instantly bit and infected
    you’re rescued by a woman named jade and she takes you back to the tower because she trusts you can help the remaining survivors,
    And to get into their good graces this is exactly what you do..
    You’re an errand boy...
    you do all of the tough tasks that others are afraid or too weak to do...
    As soon as you’re healed up you’re taught how to do parkour and this unlike in Dead Island gives you the opportunity to travel through the roof tops assassins’ creed style….
    Unfortunately though, the parquor system isn’t the greatest….
    There is no flow to it, and this lack of flow really stands out towards the end that I won’t show to prevent spoiler, but unlike in assassins creed, if you don’t stop before you make a leap, your character is going to do a half jump and fall to his death,
    This no flow needs fixed for a sequel, and please let us climb down…
    jumping down while I grab ledges is a little too risky for my taste…
    awkward parquor asside, I was in love with the game for the first few hours, I loved exploring the city and scavenging for weapons and items to craft better weapons but dying light is missing the magic dead island had for me
    While dying light is the 2nd most believable zombie games I’ve played since the last of us,
    nothing about this world feels real or previously lived in… the world in dying light feels insanely generic
    There’s no moments, unless I overlooked them where you see a zombie stuck in the loop of a past life
    sure some will be locked in the bathroom in houses but they just feel like a gamey jump scare not like they belong there..not like they once lived in the house youre going through
    There is no human left in these zombies, ultimately turning them into a nuisance rather than a victim of their circumstances like dead island or even tell tales the walking dead does near perfectly
    It would’ve been so much better for the tone they set out to hit if there was a dilemma or struggle to kill
    Maybe if it were more about panicking humans than just a bunch of zombies…
    Because this really is just completing tasks while zombies bother you
    that’s it
    And it’s a shame…
    Theres so much potential here and it becomes repetitive too fast
    I was so impressed with how difficult the zombies seemed in this game.. id try my hardest to avoid conflict with them, even with insanely powerful weapons…
    There are random side quests and side activities that pop up on the screen where you can help survivors or take supplies from the rival gang..
    You can even use the zombies to attack rival enemies for you by throwing fire crackers to attract them, or just getting them to chase you..
    Helping npcs, climbing buildings, and killing enemies all level up a different skills,
    You have a survivor, agility, and and power skill tree,
    Leveling up can get you awesome perks like added health, learning how to use traps in the city, taking less damage from falls.. and at night all of your xp earned is double..
    Except for one little problem
    At night zombies are on steroids especially the volatiles
    The zombies at night are fast, powerful, they can climb and chase after you,
    It’s a thrill to try and make it to a safe spot before you’re killed and sleep til morning
    Or you can stay out at night and test your luck…
    About 50 percent of the way through the story though dying light kind of turns into more of a first person shooter and this is really where the game starts to fall apart..
    I was so happy thinking, they got it right this time.. one giant city for me to explore.. they didn’t make the dead island mistake of making me go to different places
    Wrong
    In the back of my mind while playing I was thinking..
    If they dare send me to the sewers like every zombie game in existence does…
    and guess what
    they did….
    Just like in Dead Island they send you through the sewers and you end up in what I’m convinced is the exact same place you end up in in Dead Island... I definitely got smacked with some dejavu
    But you end up in a more crowded spot in the city, that’s just no fun….at all…
    I didn’t have even the slightest urge to explore this section…
    and worst of all, you cant fast travel through these 2 spots I understand the lack of fast travel in the actual city The fun of the game is making it back before the light dies. .but at least let me hop back and forth between the 2 sections of the city… “I hate sewers It’s so disappointing how predictable dying light ended up being... at least progression wise… The actual story was throwing me all over the    … Expand

    I'm only a few hours in so I can't say much of the story yet, but the voice acting and cutscenes are good enough. The freerunning, while it starts out slow and requires practice, turns into quite a bit of fun as you progress and unlock new abilities and get better with the controls. The combat is also very satisfying. I don't think I've felt as much satisfaction with a metal pipe to the head since the Condemned series. Good stuff. This is all made even more fun when you factor in the 4-player co-op. Nothing like freerunning the streets together and knocking zombie heads with friends.

    All in all, I'd say if you're a fan of Farcry 4, Mirrors Edge, and Dead Island, you will most definitely enjoy this game. Go pick it up!    … Expand

    However the fact that it takes too many strokes to kill one is insane.
    Day-Night cycle is pretty awesome as you will never want to be caught outside at night because you will face some of the bad-ass super quick/strong zombies. One of the negative thing about this game is the re spawn system which will make you appear very far from where you died last time.
    As an overall it is a great game which is worth playing, specially during this season that there is no much good games out there available.    … Expand

    Takes a little while to get used to the unintuitive controls, but once you do it feels good. The parkour feels pretty smooth, and once you get the grappling hook you can move around the city real fast. Despite this, I would have liked a fast travel system between safe houses.

    The fighting system is pretty good, although some of the abilities you can unlock seem a bit overpowered and unrealistic, like the slide-kick which can outright kill two of Rais's men at once if timed correctly. The zombies are a danger at first but eventually even the scariest ones become easy to handle.

    The story is fairly decent, side quests range from "cool!" to "meh..", character writing could have been better. Crafting seems a bit limited but at least it has a crafting system unlike some games. The thing I would have most liked to see is a more 'Fallout-style' character creator, with maybe some exclusive perks depending on character type or something.

    I love this game I really do but it scores 8 of 10 because I feel like i was lied too about the be a zombie mode because it's not exaclty what was advertised, saying you can invade someone's game it's not really invading because when you do invade it swtiches to Vs type mode when i heard you can invade someone's game you would chase them down during the night and ruin their quest line, the night never ends when this happens and the UV lamp is over powered it only takes a quick flash from the UV and you will just stop in your tracks when pouncing lastly it is hard to see what is going on through the filter.

    Now that the worst part is out of the way on with the good, the freerunning is fantastic once you unlock a few skills such as the roll because it makes the free running more flowing, jumping from the roof and landing on a car/any soft landing area never looses it's rush. Running away is a valid tatic due to the free running. You might have heard people saying that the free running is like Mirrors edge, I wouldn't say that because in mirrors edge you could build up speed with everything being well timed but on Dying Light you move at the same speed all the time which is still quite fast also the free running is more simplified that mirrors edge.

    The combat is nice and visceral the weapons feel nice and weighty, one downside is that unlike dead island you can't opt to use your R stick to aim your swing which i really loved it because I could choose to break arms etc easier, although the auto is really good chooses vertical and horizontal swings acordingly but there is no reason to really aim to break arms as there are enough skills to make things easier with the killing. Guns are quite hard to find at early levels. but don't seem to level up when I came across a police rife the first time and at later levels they had same stats but are still deadly at higher levels, but the use of guns are not recommended because it will draw the zombies in but will also summon virals that can climb and sprint after you or who ever made the noise ;)

    Zombies in this games are to be feared, not because they are scary but because 5 or more WILL destroy you, there are special type zombies out there which help change things up as you level up and get better items you will start to breese through the low level zombies like they are made of tissue paper but getting over confident at this stage will still get you killed quickly. Human's are also to be feared a few bullets will kill you even at higher levels, they won't just chrage you they will wait for you to attack and throw knifes. I was surpirzed that you can cut the heads, arms and legs off of a human just like the zombies unlike dead island I know it's a small thing but i didn't expect it in todays up tight rating system.

    I have also seen people saying that the side quests are boring and fetch quests. the latter is true most of them are go here and collect x or speak to x who will ask you to go collect x but it's not straight forward as that one mission has you locate a video in a video store where they are all stored alphabetically, once you return you have to use the free running to find a way into a house to finish the quest and my personal faveourate quest was climbing the massive supports of a bridge getting right to the top and throwing my self off in the pitch black into the sea below and it was amazing! There is one mission type that returns and it will drive you mad, escort quests my god everytime i have done these they get smushed into the floor by one of the special zombies which just made me angry and i stopped doing them.

    There are tons of collectables: notes, zombie statues and flags. Notes are strange usually you will be asked to press a button to open it and read it or it would open automatically but it doesn't you have to go into the menu and open it if like me you don't realise you can read them and open them later on they can loose abit of context.

    In summary this is a 8/10 could have been more if some of the niggling issues had been ironed out but I still really enjoy it and plan to try 100% it. Also I haven't bought the season pass I don't think they are a good idea beyond CoD and Battlefeild.    … Expand

Face of the matter is, I was a fan of Dead Island in the regard that it did a decent job at building a fantastic atmosphere. There were times where I felt like a survivor in a zombie apocalypse during my time there. Now on to Dying Light....

    I took a leap of faith with this one and it appeared to pay off. I was never a fan of the breakable weapon system that is still employed here but it pays respects to the zombie movies of old in a way, where a slow, lumbering zombie is so deceptively deadly in a grotesque yet nearly innocuous package. Crane is agile, athletic, and very capable of maintaining a pulse but arrogance will get you killed if you aren't careful. The parkour system allows you to spring into action across a sprawling city and the camera work only serves to preserve the adrenaline it wants you to feel, especially during the night. The combat feels good, you almost can feel the thud of a bat on the undeads' collective skulls. Upgradeable skills allows you to be more defensive than most FPS games and your ability to haul ass when the cards aren't in your favor round out the package.

    The graphics are pretty incredible, with great draw distances, lush vegetation, and what i would consider amazing lighting. You see, I've never experienced the top end of PC gaming so the ps4 serves as the benchmark for I think is great. No complaints in this department and I can't even nit pick about frame rate or what have you because any drop proved to be negligible, short lived, and rare. Now on to the bad news....

    The voice acting is atrocious, the story isn't fleshed out, the characters have room to breathe but they don't. Dead island never wowed in this department and this entry won't either. The main character being the worst offender. I think they grabbed the janitor as he strolled through the studio that day and asked if he wanted an extra five bucks an hour... goodness... Then again, The Last of Us pretty much spoiled it for everyone. I don't think this should be a detracting factor... Super Mario Brothers wasn't directed by Quentin Tarrantino either sooooooo.... I don't consider it a deal breaker although it only establishes a reason to run through a disease torn city.

    The mission structure is all fetch quests for the most part, but they... gives you a reason to enjoy the mechanics which are amazing. The character almost muses about being on the monkey bars and the city will appeal to those who remember that part of the playground. It's a true testament to the creators of the game that they can make mundane mission structures fun simply because you want to rip through the same streets because they always seem to feel new. Love it....

    If this game fails in the press it won't be because of the game or it's mechanics, it will be because you can't seem to care for anyone in it. I'm of the opinion that if you want to love a character, read a novel, if you simply want to keep your pulse pounding, then this might be the game for you, providing we are of similar mindsets.    … Expand

The gameplay is fluid, the parkour is fun and at night it's a rush and the gameplay dynamics change to a more stealthier last of us feel, and then you get spotted and it becomes a frantic scramble to escape, something i was very impressed at how exciting it was. Dying loght is of the same vein as dead island: craftable weapon upgrades, skill trees, coop, all things that work very well. I get that there is one protagonist, but i wish it was more like dead island with class based skill trees, which in coop could have had a better dynamic with different skills and abilities. Although the story is better than DI its lacking, and my only other issue so far is character models. With such a pretty game it's a shame the human npcs are so generic without emotion, and the star of the show, the zombies are so repetitive, its a shame there aren't many different models so when they're in a group it looks more interesting than six bikini wearing zombies and 4 red shirt one armed zombies.

    The day / night cycle changes the game completely by making it easy and fun to traverse in the day time but absolutely terrifying at night. The night is when the real nightmare comes out. There are more terrifying and fast infected that hunt and listen to your every move. Making much sound at night signs your death sentence which adds to the game so much.

    I was more than impressed with everything in this game, yet I found myself frustrated and upset with how it ended. Rather than ending with all the skills and experiences you've learned the last encounter with the main antagonist ends with a slew of quick time events that haven't even been exploited in the game until this very ending. I wanted the epic way to fight with Rais to be interesting and not just with a couple of button presses.

    Finally, even though i was disappointed with the final "boss battle" it left us with a good ending and left it open to a possible sequel. I would love a sequel to this game and see Techland experiment more and give the main character more relatability and personality.

There's a palpable underlying worry when faced with any group of zombies, that you'll be manhandled to death.

    Yes the plot is a bit thin and the voice acting could be better. Whilst the story and the missions are slightly under par it's a fun jaunt that's keeping me interested. In fact when looking at the sub par score blasted about by the so called critics I think it proves that Meta Critic should reverse the way it represents the games. To be less critic orientated and more user orientated. I have severe reservations that the critics actually know what they're on about. Even so I say play this game. It's fun. It's tense at times. The fighting whilst, overly clumsy rewards and punishes to the correct degree. It's not perfect and I wonder at people who expect 100% perfection are in fact being 100% realistic to any degree.

    There is clear progression as you gain more skills and better weapons. Zombies go from being tedious to kill with your iron pipe that you fished out of a dumpster, to being sliced in half with your honed katana blade. Parkour gets better with more skills, and becomes really exciting with the final couple agility skills. Some of the controls get in the way of themselves, such as the dodging mechanic which you will use to accidentally launch yourself off of cliffs. You'll also encounter points where climbing into the window and not on to the roof will be as enraging as it was in Assassin's Creed: Unity.

    The killing objectives get tired as enemies become repetitive, and the only changing factor is the number they throw at you at once. This didn't bother me to much, as the scenery and plot objectives kept me engaged. The zombies do become more difficult as you progress, and different types of zombies begin making appearances, giving you a bit more damage but failing to make you really change your strategy.

    One word: Platforming. It isn't always good, and you'll wonder why they made certain choices- particularly the ones that you find in the story objectives.

    I thought the story was pretty good. It was more than the banal, 'zombie apocalypse-must survive' cliche. I like the interactions between the characters, and I found your character's narrative to be fulfilling. Occasionally the main character would spout out my own thoughts about a situation- which felt pretty gratifying.

    The multiplayer is pretty bad. It's one zombie (whose player had to have purchased a new copy of the game) versus up to four human players. There's a lot wrong with this, so I'll try to keep it organized by chronology. As a human, your world can be invaded by a player-controlled zombie called a Night Hunter. Now, you can disable this possibility in the in-game menu, however often you get roped into this mode- and it is boring as it is pointless and broken. First, the game is designed to be four survivors versus one zombie, but often through connection errors or just the survivors saying 'no thanks,' you'll be left alone against the zombie. Often when I played as the zombie, I would enter a game only to immediately have the game end because all of the survivors quit. Playing as the zombie, if the game didn't end it was often because one or more of the survivors were afk. Easy points for the zombie, but really sucks for the survivor. Anyway, it's bad and it should be dismissed.

    Overall I enjoyed the single-player mode, and playing with friends in cooperative modes was engaging enough (honestly I preferred being alone so I could keep a steady pace during the missions). The horror moments in this game were few, with most of them occurring when the game put you outside at night, or exploring a dark and quiet place where you knew zombies would be crawling out of every crevice eventually.

    Good game, enjoyed it. 8/10, 8.5 in my book forever.    … Expand

    Pretty good open world game.. can get a little bit stale at points near the end but still overall a great game. Platting the game is not hard at all if that's what you are into.

    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]
