Feb 3, 2015Game is really good and creative. There ain't a lot of bugs but you do run into the assassins creed issues when trying to climb. The night hunter mode is garbage. It's so one sided they should put you out there with a diaper and binky and no weapons.

Mar 2, 2015In just a few words:
+ graphics are nice (runs smooth)
+ sound is good
+ parkours mechanics work better than Assassins Creed in my opinion
- normal zombies are kinda boring and no challenge
- battle system is very "dead-island"-ish (aka sloppy)
Overall impression:
Fun, gory zombie splatter experience which just makes way more fun with a few friend around -
Feb 24, 2015This was a surprise of a game a game that I wasn't planing on buying. I can said now that I almost make a mistake this game is great and fun better that dead Island. A must buy.

Mar 24, 2015I 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.

Mar 25, 2015Dying 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.

Mar 25, 2015This game had a few bugs and glitches, but overall it was an awesome zombie stomping ground. Story is paper thin, but who cares when killing zombies is so much fun. One of the best co-op experiences I've had in any game

Apr 2, 2015You know a game's free running mechanic is good when you just want to forget about the campaign for a few hours, and run around the map, satisfyingly bashing zombies' heads in.
Don't play for story, play for online and first-person free run simulator. -

Jun 11, 2015The story of this game is quite interesting, the gameplay is fun, but some little things makes this game just an ok game for me...One example would be that your items break way to often...I mean comon...since when does an iron pipe break if you hit 10 zombie skulls with it

Aug 27, 2015The Best Zombie Game ever made. It's Mirror's Edge Mixed with Dead Island It's just absolutely incredible. The graphics are spot on and with the new expansion coming soon with a whole new map, cars and even more story, I wouldn't be surprised if that dlc is better than Left Behind

Sep 6, 2015Definitely a good time for zombie fans, the story gets very cliche and the areas get repetitive. But the combat and parkour make it an awarding experience.

May 29, 2016Bought it as rated quite good on the listings. Bitter disappointment. It is extremely repetitive. No real challenge and gameplay just becomes boring and uninteresting very quick. Story not so good

Jan 27, 2016Scanning sucks, Have to keep pressing x to find things. Weapons break. Gay charaters. No hot girls. Not scarey . Lame. Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov 22, 2015A 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.

Jul 31, 2018Superb game that everyone should play. The player movement is so good that it makes it really easy and amazingly pleasant to traverse the map. I enjoyed every bit of it and can't wait for Dying Light 2.

Jul 11, 2020Dying Light Review: 8/10
This zombie game offers an amazing parkour playground open world with some of the best and most satisfactory combat system that develops in an engaging way throughout the entire game. -
