    This game looks pretty damn nice. The combat is decent and the parkour is great. The story isn't the greatest but it gets the job done. The progression system is nice and the upgrades you can get are great. It took me about 11 hours to beat the main campaign which is pretty good.

I played a bit of this game with my buddy and we had loads of fun. My favorite thing to do is to drop kick zombies off of high places. One aspect of the game that I didn't really enjoy was the pvp invasions. It felt annoying to deal with the enemy zombie and it was just a tedious task to take out the nest. after the first few times It happened I turned it off. overall a great game. Expand

    A truly fun well made zombie game. Gameplay is very responsive and rewarding especially when you're fully upgraded. Co-Op is implemented seamlessly and the more in your game the more fun it is. I've played this game to it's completion twice and every part of it never failed to entertain me. DLC is also a hoot too.

    Dying light has unique world, specially parkour and open world zombie, sounds great. I played this game at ps4, and game optimaztion is really bad, sometimes you cant get even 20fps. I'm sure it is better at PC, but since game realeased with full priced, i have full rights to say, this game, need tons of work
    Enemy respawn is ridicilous, sometimes i feel like game dont let me move forward,

    Enemy respawn is ridicilous, sometimes i feel like game dont let me move forward, i died many times, cuz, zombies keep respanding next to me. Easy side quest, sometimes harder than main missions. I played 53% story line and couldnt play more. Easy mission , i have to take object and leave place, but zombies keep attacking you, it doesnt have an end. It feels endless. They really need to work on this. I hope new dying light wont repeat same mistake as the 1st game.
    I'd love to finish the game, but already deleted, and will never come back, no matter, how much effort you put, you dont feel like, you are developing.This game d oesnt deserve full price

    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!

    Interesting story: intriguing, exciting, well-crafted characters, great acting! The excellent and Magnificent soundtrack (I love) and the sound design of the game is also magnificent (the very high level of sound development in general, really very impressive and immersed in this Zombie Apocalypse).

    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!!!

    Muito bom. Só a mecânica de luta mano a mano é ruim, bem desajeitada. Mas a ação é boa.

    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, I don't know why so many people are saying the story is bad, it's pretty good imo. Mechanics of the game are great too. While the AI is alright, there are a couple problems and glitches with it, same with the grappling hook, which is why I took 2 points down. Overall, it's a decent game.

You can’t even compliment it on being unique. It isn’t. It’s another zombie game except for some reason you get a plank of wood to start and it takes 20 bashes to hurt them. Others you’re just supposed to run and do stupidly impossible jumps and make them look easy. Also you’re supposed to just have basic electrician knowledge, for example what a power box looks like and where to find it. They’ll just send you out to turn them on and not even show you a picture. Weird huh? Common sense doesn’t exist with these developers. But like I said, fanboys are gonna fanboy. Buy it if you are into the hype. I can’t stop you from wasting money. Expand

    Геймплей. Геймплей тут безусловно хорош, есть древо навыков, возможность крафтить оружие и разные вспомогалки, бить зомбаков интересно и весело, присутствует расчленёнка, что прибавляет +1 бал.

Ben bu oyunu önceden hep isterdim almak isterdim sonra indirimler gelince de aldım oyunu 20TL gibi bir fiyata. Oyuna bir hevesle başladım ve 15 saat oynayıp oyunu bitirdim. 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. Oyunun kötü yanlarına gelirsek senaryo ♥♥♥ gibi direkt başka bir şey söylemeye gerek yok, görevler aşırı tekrar ediyo ve sıkıyor, bosslar tırt yani baya kötü hatta şöyle söyliyim oyunda yaptığınız boss fightları ileride mini boss olarak görmeye devam ediyorsunuz ama neden bossların zevkinin sikiyor bu olay ve benim için bosslar aşırı önemlidir ve bu oyunun bossları tırt maalesef sinematikler ♥♥♥ gibi 2 kişi animasyonsuz mal gibi konuşuyor ve izlerken sıkıntıdan izlemek istemiyorsunuz bunları. Oyunun hızlıca diğer yanlarını da söyliyeyim oyunun açık dünyası kötü yani sıradan assasins creed açık dünyası gibi yetenek ekranındaki şeylerin çoğunu nerediyse hiç kullanmadım 1 2 yetenek işe yarıyor ama. Benim için oyunun en en en en en kötü yanı son göreviydi buradan sonra spoiler yazacağım isterseniz okumayın oyunun son görevinde Ağa yı öldürmeye gidiyoruz ve ben ordayken lütfen en azından son boss iyi olsun yumruk yumruğa dövüş olsaydı mükemmel bir son olurdu ama ADAMLAR SON BOSSU QTE YAPMIŞ QTE QTE gece 4 gibi bu oyunu arkdaşımla konuşarak oynuyordum ve sövüyordum oyuna ayıp ya qte koymak ne ya son boss yüzünden oyundan nefret ettim benim diyeceklerim bu kadar oyunu 20 lira gibi fiyata bulursanız alabilirsiniz ama fazlasına sakın almayın Expand

    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.
