    This is the most enjoyable,fun game I' ve played. Dont bother the journalists dumbass review. They don t even play the game. Parkour,and crafting are really fun. Techland has done what other devs forgot about games: funny games! The system combat is a really nice feature,it s cool when you blow a zombie head,or when you electrocute them with your electric pipe. Congrats techland

    Так и с самой игрой. Пробежать сюжет, выполнить десяток второстепенных заданий и вдоволь покрошить мертвяков в компании друзей может быть очень весело. Но возвращаться, чтобы исследовать Харран и добить все второстепенные задания, захочется немногим.

    Хотя тот единственный забег легко растягивается часов на двадцать — а ведь Dead Island надоедала на порядок быстрее. В конце концов,    Так и с самой игрой.

    •Хорошая графика
    •Не самя худшая физика
    •Разнообразие оружия + авто )
    •Хорошая поддержка разработчиков + нормальная оптимизация.

    The best game to play with friends I have ever played. If you are into zombie survival, open world, fun character movement, and rpg elements and you have one friend who is too, you will literally love this game

    A brilliant game in the zombie genre. An open world city filled with different kind of zombies, melee combat you can "feel", environment that matters when you play, beautiful graphics and sound. This is a game that did not deserved the negativity that it has. Best thing is that you can play coop the campaign with your friends (or other players) with a drop in, drop out coop.

    Dying light is one of the best zombie games that i ever played in my life, is just a mix of parkour, violence and zombies, resulting in one of the most fun games of the genre.

    Очень годно, однозначный рекомендасьён. Чуточку есть кривоватые вещи, но все компенсируется с лихвой, динамикой геймплея и паркуром. Только берите с дополнением ибо там ну просто слишком супер важный поворот сюжета в жизни Кайла Крейна. Будет ошибкой пропустить настоящий финал.Очень годно, однозначный рекомендасьён.

    This game is just amazing. I played this on co-op mode with a friend of mine and after finishing the DLC and the main story we looked for games similar to this but couldn't find any. There is nothing that can compete with Dying Light. This game just feels great and has such a unique feel to it.

    Pros and Cons: Pros: - Feels good, the controls are pretty good. Move around, look around    This game is just amazing. I played this on co-op mode with a friend of mine and after finishing the DLC and the main story we looked for games similar to this but couldn't find any. There is nothing that can compete with Dying Light. This game just feels great and has such a unique feel to it.

    Pros and Cons:

    Pros:
    - Feels good, the controls are pretty good. Move around, look around and parkour, slash arms off of zombies and grapple around. It all feels good to perform. It isn't buggy nor delayed.
    - Amazing loot system. Leveling up and gaining better weapons than before feels great. Having a high level weapon is a pretty amazing feeling, especially when it dominates a zombie.
    - Good variety of zombies. There are normal walkers, runners, big angry dudes and many more variations of zombies. All require a certain tactic to defeat. You can't go face to face with the giant zombie because it will crush you and you shouldn't waste your ammo on normal walkers because they are easy to kill using melee weapons.
    - The game has a fitting story. Although it has some flaws, I find that for the most part the story is pretty good. Yes, it has it's ups and downs but for me it was mainly ups. I found myself having fun with some of the missions and feeling pretty immersed.
    - Amazing physics. Drop kicking, pushing zombies off roofs, shooting heads off of zombies, sticking an arrow in one of Rai's goons, you name it! You can do it all and it always feels so real. Nothing more pleasant than watching a zombie plummet to it's death from a 5 story building.
    - Online mode is fun and rewarding. It keeps the game alive and can give you good loot if you were to succeed in your objective. This is a good alternative to those who have finished the game and are looking for more.
    - DLC's are mainly great. The following DLC was pretty fun. One thing I really liked though was that some DLC's allowed you to complete objectives for in game loot. It was kind of like an arcade game that gave you high level loot if you were to accomplish the tasks properly.

    Cons:
    - The leveling up system can get complicated. It took me a few days to figure out why the zombies weren't dying from my higher level weapons only for me to realize that the zombies level up with you.
    - Easy to duplicate. I'm not gonna lie, I duplicated some things and it really made the game more fun for me. I had already finished everything and I decided to duplicate some things. I see how this can be bad though, it can mess with competitive online PVP matches.

    There are a few other cons but they really don't mean much. What I'm trying to say is that this game is just amazing. I highly recommend you play this game and if you have a buddy then it makes it twice the fun!    … Expand

    The filling of the world is also impressive!!! Namely, the quantity of NPC, detailed and meticulous detail work, AI is smart and unpredictable. It’s not just Zombie City, this city is alive and it’s breathing, it’s feeding you its Atmosphere and its oppressive Zombie Apocalypse: screaming, moaning, ruined destinies, survival, virus, daily struggle for life, decline - all this makes Dying Light unique and alive Zombie Apocalypse!! Atmosphere - it is in the game just Magnificent, thanks to the filling of the world, the sound design, the soundtrack, ordinary citizens, zombies and all above mentioned before!!!

    The Parkur system - is also excellent and professional! Parkur in Dying Light is a kind of Unique, one of the pleasures of overcoming obstacles, moving around the city, climbing buildings or using in combat!

    The optimization was also done very well, it is about the PS4 version of the game! Critical moments in the game - Not present!!! Excellent frame rate, small drops fps are available, but they are small! Optimization in general is very and very pleasant!!!

    Dying Light is definitely a success!!! He’s fascinated, impressed, fascinated and immersed in this Zombie Apocalypse! The number of copies sold is also pleasing, trusting and wishing - Development and Growth in Future Projects!!!    … Expand

    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.

    Honestly one the greatest horror rpgs that I've seen. The weapon variety is just a chef's kiss, along with the characters, the parkour elements, and skill trees which combine together into an amazing horror rpg.

    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.
