Jan 29, 2015Great game. One of the best games I have played in a long time, and the best zombie game ever. The game is beautiful from the environment to the expansive map to the weapon and crafting selection and the parkour running system was amazing. This game got me instantly hooked. A brilliant game and I cant until the next.

Jan 28, 2015This game is mindblowing, the parkour aspect is great and free running is flawless, you definitely should get this game. Dead Islnd should go cry in a corner after playing this.
10/10~IGN -

Jan 28, 2015Basically 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.

Jan 28, 2015Fun, scary, and pretty. It follows the gameplay style of Far Cry 3&4, which is not a bad thing. The melee system feels nice and brutal. It's a lot of fun to dropkick a zombie off a cliff or into spikes. A few bugs here and there. Overall I'm having a blast.

Jan 28, 2015I'm enjoying it so far! I can't wait to try the multiplayer now! I must say that I cannot believe the discrepancy in scores so far. One 94 critical review and one 50!? WTF?? Did they play the same game???

Jan 28, 2015One of my favorite PS4 games so far. Nice graphics and immersive atmosphere. I really like the parkour style gameplay and the roleplay elements. Crafting and leveling up your skills motivates to keep going. Even the story and characters are interesting and well written. Great game!

Jan 28, 2015By far without a doubt the greatest PS4 game to date. From the atmosphere to the loot and the ambient sounds to the moment you bash that zombies brains out with your newly crafted weapon, this game is a solid 10/10.

Jan 28, 2015Put about 4 hours into Dying Light yesterday. Great game. Have to say if you own a new gen system its a must. Graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth. The storyline is definitely enough to keep you interested. I preordered it back when it was originally suppose to launch and waited forever for it. Im glad I did cause its one game where its seems they put some time into. 10/10 for me.

Jan 28, 2015I am impressed, I must admit I was skeptical, Dead Island was fun but disappointing (all the bugs), I'm only about 5 hours deep in the game, the night time is extremely intense & thrilling, the mechanics are solid & graphics are above average, the main thing is this is ten fold better than Dead Island, it has the fun factor and is challenging enough to keep me wanting more!

Jan 28, 2015AWESOME. Its a fun Game and an awesome parkour with great mechanics and a real satisfying gun,-fightplay. Dont listen to the trolls. It´s worth its money. Especially 4 Player coop will hit you hard!
