    I'ma split this rating into two parts because they're of hugely differing qualities. First and foremost, the gameplay was fantastic. The atmosphere was well done, the environment felt good, the day / night cycle added a nice touch, the leveling system was genius, the weapons were interesting and varied...

First and foremost, the gameplay was fantastic. The atmosphere was well done, the environment felt good, the day / night cycle added a nice touch, the leveling system was genius, the weapons were interesting and varied... I could go on, but you get the idea. Gameplay, great. The drop kick alone was about the most fun I've ever had in a three second span in a game. A few minor and personal gripes were the lack of gun variety (and a useless shotgun), the absurd weapon scaling (my machete does twenty times the damage of a lead pipe for example), and the maps felt a bit small for my tastes. But that didn't deter me from really enjoying the hell out of this side of the game.

    If I were rating the story alone this game would be in the red. I'm a story drive gamer, so this was important for me. The first three-fourths of the game were fine if bland, but about that three-fourths mark I ran into one of the most idiotic scenes I've encountered in a game. You have to be careful when using the damsel in distress dynamic, and this game botched it hard. They set up no real relationship between you and the woman in question beyond a few passing sentences so I didn't feel attached to her. She was also supposed to be a bad-ass so making her the damsel felt like a betrayal of her character. Though groaning, I dealt with this. It really died with the five minute over-the-top sappy diatribe that was so bad I found myself scowling on my couch. It was ridiculously dramatic. You were transported to a Dishonored style Limbo (apparently this is what turning into a zombie is like) and you chased her ghost while she was pelting you with the most droning self-sacrifice speech you've ever heard. This scene totally killed any investment I had in the story which really depletes my enjoyment of a game, but I persevered because of drop-kicking zombies.

    A bonus crime this game committed was the climax. I really enjoyed the climbing part of it and the combat even if I had to listen to Mr. Generic Villain 101 monologuing at me. Crane's motivation in the game at this point was all about revenge which made me dislike him as a character. Seriously, a woman you barely knew died dramatically, but so did a doctor I'd talked to just as much and I wasn't harping about him. And aren't there, like, a thousand other innocent people to save? ...Just dumb writing... Anyway, I reach the putz expecting some lame boss fight like the last two but instead, they end the game with the only quick-time even in the entire game. Yup, quick time event. That's they best they could do with their villain.

    There. I've ranted.    … Expand

    I wouldn't recommend this game for what it's being advertised as. It's not much of a Survival game at all. Not much of an open world experience. Not much of a story. It is however a good combination of tried and true game mechanics in a zombie-afflicted fictional middle eastern city.

    If not, don't expect this game to give you any thrills outside of what I already mentioned. Not to say that I can't have fun with it, I just can't recommend it.    … Expand

It even gets worse when you progress further into the game: similar to Shadow of Mordor the upgrade points you can invest after leveling up in various "masteries" make you quite strong pretty fast so that you quickly reach the point where the dangers (especially at night) are pretty easy for you to overcome. It is better than Dead Island for sure and the parcours is pretty okay (even though it feels clumsy compared to Mirrors Edge f.e.). The fighting feels inaccurate you often find yourself in positions where you wish there were two attack modes where you could possibly decide in which direction your character is swinging his weapons. Sometimes it works fine but often you strike and don't hit anything because of the weapon swing being totally wrong in that moment.

    Overall Dying Light is a pretty mediocre game. It is some sort of child between Far Cry and Dead Island and even though the first hours are quite fun the good feeling quickly disappears.    … Expand

    This game is a decent fps zombie game, too bad that the idea is overused and they tried to copy dead island idea, they failed miserably, but at least this game is interesting and somewhat fun to play.
    Buy it only if you really like zombie games.

    Basically dead island with free running. Multiplayer is fun and its fun invading other players game as a zombie. Single player is boring after a few hours. If your a fan of dead island this is a must buy. If your not I would recommend a rental or buying Resident evil.

Trite doesn't begin to cover it. If you are unable to figure out all of the plot twists and even better plot twists, shame on you.

    What I would have liked to see though, is a scaling of difficulties when playing alone or with teams. 3 friends and myself rip through hoards of zombies like they are nothing. All alone, I cannot pick a simple lock without getting grabbed 3 or 4 times.

    With all that out of the way, I recommend buying this game. For people who didn't like the linearity of mirrors edge, this is an open world parkour environment done to perfection. The gameplay is what sells this game. It is also a sandbox game offering you most likely 60-100 hours of gameplay with side quests, some of which are worth doing, and a main quest line that has you thinking you are spiderman without a suite.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A good game at it's core but suffers from a few very serious mistakes. The voice acting is poor and the faces are repeated too often. The EPIC LAST LEVEL BOSS FIGHT is a dungeon where you run from point A to point B and then end it with a 7 button quick time even. Straight garbage. Then there's the DLC. You can't even call it DLC, it's two sidequests made to last hours. Buy the game, skip the DLC, stop playing once you've finished the story. Maybe a good rental but I regret buying the digital copy considering the DLC issue. This is a Gamefly game, not a game you own.… Expand

I dropped 59 on this garbage knowing it would suck. OK, so if you like to jump around like freakin spiderman and crack zombies in the dome with pieces of concrete on a pole, get this game and enjoy. For me, what makes zombie type games fun is the desperation, the lack of ammo and the struggle to survive with minimal supplies. This game has not sense of urgency, no semblance of a plot and no characters that are remotely interesting. You basically jump around rooftops, but not it a cool, graceful way like Assassins Creed or Batman, but just silly, cheesy motions that make you feel invincible. And I guess that's my problem, I don't think you should be a superhero in a zombie apocalypse. One final point here - the voice acting. Wow. It's worse - yes, worse, than Dead Island. Terrible sounding middle eastern stereotypes - and I'm just gonna say it and probably catch heat - I wish they sounded "American." That's my preference. If you found the accents in Dead Island annoying, you will want to mute your TV for Dying Light. What this game is NOT (and yes, I know it doesn't pretend to be) but it's NOT similar to , say The Last of Us, Resident Evil or even Dead Rising. So, say Left 4 Dead had a baby with Call of Duty, that would be Dying Light - with worse voice acting and lamer weapons. It's cheesy, did I mention the voice acting is terrible - and you're basically a superhero who only dies when you run into a huge crowd.

It's the first tease of an engrossing yet light-hearted experience in a zombie-infested metropolis that feels like a Rio de Janeiro in the Middle East. The city is quite large and detailed, rendered in impressive graphics. And the mechanics go deep, as you'll know if you take a peek at the various skill trees available.

    However, this game is such a grind before you get a proper foothold in the world that you may well get tired of the game before you reach that point. Earning experience is painstakingly slow, divided as it is across three initial categories before a fourth class opens up. I highly recommend finding tutorials to learn the nuaces of gameplay (which are manyfold) to maximize experience earning potential early on. This will save a lot of frustration. I appreciate that feeling underpowered for a large portion of the game makes the world feel deadly dangerous, but it's a bit overboard here.

    But the final nail in the coffin is how gratingly annoying and badly written every single NPC is in this game. From cliched villains to cliched allies, to whiny fetch-quest givers, to unfunny and tedious blabbermouths, it's simply a chore to speak to anyone. The immersion of the game is killed three words into any conversation.

    A more minor criticism is how samey the city feels. It's very easy to get lost because differentiating buildings or even cardinal directions is nearly impossible without the map.

Sometimes, it has few tricks up its sleeves, like awesome ragdoll physics, great multiplayer mode, and killer zombies. But all this is spoiled by the lukewarm game itself.

    Good incipit, but the story gets boring very fast. Within the first 30 minutes of gameplay you realise that the story starts to smack of “been there, done that”.
    There are a bunch of very interesting cues: the safe areas, the crafting system, and the overall idea of an open world zombie setting. Despite that the plot gets shabby pretty soon, leaving a bad taste of wasted opportunity.

    Run errands, avoid zombies, and deal with the grainy graphics. If you liked dead island, you'll probably like this. Sadly, I did not. The voice acting is pretty bad, you can't turn off the "film grain" which gives the graphics a crappy look, and I can't really recommend this. It's pretty "meh".

It was bad enough how hard the game is in the very beginning, but you couldnt change the difficulty. AT ALL. (unless you update) SO I get completely leveled up and Im enoying the game. I was getting towards the end of the story, so I decided to let the game update for the DLC. Now the ENTIRE damage system has been reworked. I could understand adding a higher difficulty, which they also did, but for the casual player...someone whos already got 102 fugging hours in the game, to so drastically change the way you have to play....its very frustrating. So now my options are 1) quit playing it and dont finish a game i have over 4 solid days in 2) accept it and try to finish a game im no longer really having fun with 3) Delete the whole thing and start completely over again. I think this is Techlands first major success and so maybe they are still things out, but this seems so amateur, and I simply cannot understand their though process.

Şimdi önce oyunun iyi yanlarını söyliyeceğim. Oyunun parkurları falan eğlenceli ama oyunun sonsaatlerinde sıkmaya başlıyor, oyunun en iyi kısmı ise vuruş hissi kesinlikle vuruş hissi zombilerin neresine vurursan o yerden güzel bi tepki alıyorsun ve bu çok tatmin edici oyunu tek oynama sebebim bu vuruş hissiydi. Efektler falan grafikler yeterli yılına göre ve göze çarpmıyor. Bence oyunun iyi yanları bunlar.

    Dying Light can be summed up in one sentence uttered by my wife: "It seems hard to make that boring." And I'll admit, it does seem difficult to make a game about a special forces operator during the zombie apocalypse boring, but somehow they've managed to do it. The other, more specific one line summation would be: Dead Island with parkour.

    Dying Light starts off on a great note with a    Dying Light can be summed up in one sentence uttered by my wife: "It seems hard to make that boring." And I'll admit, it does seem difficult to make a game about a special forces operator during the zombie apocalypse boring, but somehow they've managed to do it. The other, more specific one line summation would be: Dead Island with parkour.

    Dying Light starts off on a great note with a great opening cutscene and good opening scene, and goes down hill from there. It doesn't make me feel very good to say the highpoint of the game was the opening cutscene but it's true. Once I had control and was actually playing I was all hyped up and looking forward to what appeared to be a lengthy and immersive zombie survival game. And then...it just wasn't very fun.

    I'm not a huge fan of parkour in games, or really platforming in general, but I can live with and it won't stop me from playing a game I otherwise enjoy. Dying Light's parkour, however, is frustrating and a bit arcane. Mission objectives will be above you with no path up to be found that left me jumping around trying to find a way up, only to discover some path that seemed completely unrealistic after a frustrated ten minutes. Not only can it be frustrating to get from point A to point B in a mission, but the missions themselves aren't very good. It's a game of fetch quests for the most part which left me having to force myself to do another mission.

    The world itself is beautiful, and the game overall looks very nice. The voice acting isn't very well done and detracts from the game. I found the characters I was interacting with grating, and the story not very enthralling. Combat isn't very entertaining, and the crafting system wasn't overly inspiring.

    I'll admit, I didn't finish the game, which for me is pretty rare. I tend to go for platinums in games, and feel bad about not finishing them. I tend to be someone who sticks with a game for a while. But I just couldn't with Dying Light. It just wasn't fun. I wanted to like the game. I liked the idea of the game. For two weeks I kept trying to play the game over and over, but it was a chore, and to me a game is meant to be fun. I know it's not the most in depth review, and there is more to write, but it would just be repeating "it's not very good" in different ways, which isn't fun to read.

    I would recommend avoiding Dying Light altogether, though if you enjoyed the Dead Island series you might enjoy the game. I would still recommend, even then, waiting a month or two until the price drops and buying it on the cheap.    … Expand

    A promising game with so many good things about it, but the fact of the matter is that some truly awful game design, some painfully cliched characters/writing, and a raft of infuriating bugs make this a case of what could have been. Still worth playing, but you'd better have some patience if you're going to make it all the way through.

    As for the environment, I found dead island far more interesting, colourful and varied, and to be honest I enjoyed the game more. The enemies in dying light are boring and seem to have had little to no effort put into their design...they're just grey.

    All in all I think this game was poorly put together, the voice acting and gameplay make it seem like a rush job, along with the unnecessarily fiddly controls (going against the tried and tested button layouts never pays off.) I didn't enjoy this as much as dead island.

It works until you run and avoid the zombies or enemies , but if you try to face them and/or fight them is inevitable to die constantly because your weapons are useles, the bullets and guns are rare (the aiming system with R3 button is the most idiot thing I ever seen in a videogame), and when you die , your last experience points earned are reset, the game respawn randomly , and always away from the mission . The problem is that after the first missions, you have to fight and the game becomes frustrating and unplayable , your weapons immediately deteriorate , they do little damage , so during the missions you waste time looking around for other weapons .

Far Cry meets The Last of Us, intriguing concept, yet very poorly executed! The combat is ridiculous and you die all the **** time! Now, some of you Mamma's boys living in her basement, may consider me a "noob", well I am a little bit. I have played over a hundred different games on all of the Playstations, but I sold my PS3 in 2009 one year after I had gotten it, for financial reasons, and I've only just gotten my PS4 last fall, and only got 6 games of completely different genres. Well, guess what, I didn't live during the NES era so I don't appreciate ridiculously hard games where I die all the time like the Angry Video Game Nerd. I appreciate games where I can chill and play pretend I'm God. Like InFAMOUS or Minecraft or WoW (yes the only two PC games I play). You do die in those games, but at least you don't loose your **** XP every time you die!!! The skills are all ridiculous, and not at all worth upgrading to, because you could easily play this game without upgrading, and yet have almost the exact same gameplay experience as if you hadn't. I appreciate games where you have to think a little bit before you react, in order to advance, but even when I do, if I'm surrounded by a zombie crowd of more than 4, I loose almost all my health and I have to constantly heal myself WITH A MEDKIT!!! The **** developers might as well not have put "food" in the game, because they only heal you for about 5 **** H **** P! The materials for a medkit is actually pretty scarce, so unless you want to roam the city for materials all day instead of completing missions, then good luck, because it's gonna take forever! You could buy them from the "shops" but even they've only got 1 medkit a day IF YOU'RE LUCKY! When you're not fighting zombies then you're fighting the bandits, and they are even more hardcore than the zombies, and ALWAYS IN PACKS OF 3 OR 4, you almost always have to use your molotovs on them and even then, every time there's always 2 that survives, and you have to hit them a million times before they die, and you still gotta watch out for zombies attacking you from behind... The shield doesn't matter, and I hate that you cannot have both your 1h weapons and shield active at the same time, instead of one of each. Don't even get me started on the 2h weapons and the laughable skill "upgrades" you can get from them. Oh, and the side quests... Are too **** LONG!!! They're called side quests for a reason Techland! You only have to complete ONE GIVEN TASK, on a side quest, but somehow you still have to complete 2 or 3 or FOUR whole tasks, running around from one end of the city to the next in order to finish them! And when you do finish one quest, then it's already night and you've got to go to your nearest safe spot, unless you want the super hardcore **** zombies to kill you instantly and chase you around. It's no use to "sneak around" them because even if you do, you never know if the slow lazy zombies are right next to you because of the P.O.V. and your poor flashlight. The day is too soon gone in this **** game, so it feels like you practically don't really have a choice between choosing day or night gameplay, which is **** up, especially since the developers think that 9:00 PM is NIGHT???!?! HAHAHA! Where on earth is 9 o'clock "night" unless it's winter time, which it clearly isn't supposed to be in Harran. I'm only like 36% in the story line and this is the first time I can honestly say I'm very tired and very close to giving up and putting it on my shelf, next to all the other games I've completed 100%, this early in and just spend my hard earned money on another game! This is just a big slap in the face, and I don't appreciate it! What ever happened to difficulties??? The quests, the game's telling you are "easy" or "medium" are more often than not as difficult as "hard", even the lock picking! You can't tell the difference. If game developers don't know about or the difference between difficulties and the joy of letting the GAMERS CHOOSE THEIR OWN BATTLES so to speak, then there is no hope for this industry that's becoming increasingly snobby and "artistic". And not in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic or GTA or Assassin's Creed kind of way, but in the French art house movie kind of way.

    Really a bad game, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone honestly.

    The most overrated game of all time. Combat is beyond garbage, only decent part of the game is the parkour.

    This game is really great. however, what I like about this game is that I don't have to listen to the ITALIAN language. Bravo Techland

    Glad i've tried it before buying the 2. Not sure why it's loved and Dead Island trashed, maybe WB marketing power. Dead Island has a coherent survival gameworld, meaning a no Z respawn zone around the player and noises indicating Z presence nearby. In Dying light Z respawn near the player indefinitely and approach in complete silence. Simply broken as survival game. Associated with questsGlad i've tried it before buying the 2.

Associated with quests pattern based on searching the tiny entrance to some building it's a complete chore. Parkour is fun but forced by the absence of fast travel. And ultimately useless since the fast Z can climb on the roofs. The rest works just fine now and it's still updated.… Expand

    I don't know how this trash can be called a game.

    Literally everything in Dying Light does not work: the zombies are so OP that even with a lot of hits they still stay alive while those with an hammer have a “Wi-Fi” attack (they manage to hit you even if you are several meters away), parkour 2 out of 3 times does not work, missing the holds where you would like to hang, the missions    I don't know how this trash can be called a game.

    Literally everything in Dying Light does not work: the zombies are so OP that even with a lot of hits they still stay alive while those with an hammer have a “Wi-Fi” attack (they manage to hit you even if you are several meters away), parkour 2 out of 3 times does not work, missing the holds where you would like to hang, the missions themselves do not work (example: 2 secondary missions, such as "the outposts" and "radio tower", are almost impossible to complete following continuous crashes for no apparent reason).

    Side quests are boring, repetitive, very long and there are lots of them. Furthermore, the construction of the various rooms you visit is always the same, serving only to confuse the player.

    Dungeons where you enter during side quests (for example closed apartments) are mazes, each door either does not open from your side or it is impossible to interact with it and sometimes the doors with zombies behind them do not open due to some strange bug.

    The protagonist Kyle Crane can climb any type of construction (not even Spider-man is at the same level as him) but when you need to climb a rock he suddenly forgets how to hang on, resulting in a fall to the ground with death.

    During my gameplay I almost immediately dedicated myself to free all the shelters, but after a few days those in Old Town were to be freed again, and I honestly couldn't figure out why.

    Playing with my friends, we decided to dedicate ourselves to completing all the side quests and after completing several of them, we went back to our game worlds to see which ones we were missing and ... surprise! Some quests we had done together weren't counted as completed even though they were synchronized.

    As for the story it can be said that it is quite mediocre and the gameplay consists of going from point A to point B to point C, and then back to point A, meeting a few hundred zombies along the way. Throughout the story you will face like 3 bosses, while the rest are just enemies that you can either kill or ignore.

    To continue, even the DLC "The Bozak Horde" does not make sense: in fact, in addition to being frustrating and boring, it often happened that I or one of my friends crashes, but this only happened in groups of 3 (I don't know if even for groups of 4 is like this), making us waste only time, and in addition ALL the trophies are buggy.

    As for the DLC "The Following" we can not say anything other than yet another failure. The story that characterizes it is slightly better than the main game but still trivial, while the gameplay is not based on parkour, but in using vehicles to reach the indicated places: where is the problem? The map is huge but empty, so without a vehicle the road is really long and if you don't have enough materials to repair the only thing that allows you to actually play the game, you are forced to cross a wasteland on foot, losing dozens of minutes. On top of all this, occasional bugs can't be missing, such as various overlapping NPC talks or meaningless side quests.

    A warning to anyone who wants to try to get all the trophies: don't do it, it's not worth your sanity.    … Expand

    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]
