    me parece un mierdon así de grande jugarlo en difícil, estoy en la misión de "busca un sobre con unos planos" hay un chaval que no para de disparar y yo con una puta tubería de agua, me estas tocando los cojones, encima para matar a un zombi, si, UNO tienes q pegarle 40 patadas para que se muera, incluso mas, no se si ni he exagerado, no lo jueges en dificil, es una mierda.

    This is how you do a zombie game. Excellent use of movement and physics, decent story, satisfying platforming, and all the gory action you need.

    The story seems good at first but takes a nose dive after the first few missions. The world is beautiful but too small. Side quests are all Ubisoft fetch quest trash. Parcouring never feels as smooth as it should and the combat is one of the worst I have seen in a video game. Old Bethesda games are better than this. The gore is very over the top but if you die you lose story mission xp?The story seems good at first but takes a nose dive after the first few missions. The world is beautiful but too small.

    The same feelings are evoked as with dead island, but now with parkour. Made more of a difference than expected.

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

    If you want to play a zombie game this is the one, it is absolute perfection. The best zombie game to date. One of my most replayed games.

    really fun game about dropkicking zombies, didn't really care about the story but that's a me problem. Graphics were amazing and the ragdolls were funny. Only 2 problems were that the grappling hook was a little weird at times which can kill you if not careful and there is no way of exiting or restarting a challenge short of either failing or pressing along.

    Dying Light is the ultimate zombie game.

    After playing Dead Island in 2011, I was thirsty to whack zombies again. I hesitated between Dying Light 1 and 2, and I was absolutely right to take 1 when I see the face of 2. Good points : - The fights are excellent, being able to dismember the zombies is enjoyable - AI (of non-zombie enemies) very correct - The atmosphere of Harkan the    Dying Light is the ultimate zombie game.

    I hesitated between Dying Light 1 and 2,
    and I was absolutely right to take 1 when I see the face of 2.

    Good points :
    - The fights are excellent, being able to dismember the zombies is enjoyable
    - AI (of non-zombie enemies) very correct
    - The atmosphere of Harkan the city of the game
    - Very endearing NPCs and a pretty good villain
    - Long lifespan, with 50% of side quests which are good and the rest a little mediocre
    - Excellent soundtrack, very discreet
    - Main quest missions are fun
    - Incredible DLCs let's say it, The Following and Hellraid are masterclasses

    Negative points :
    - Some little worked side quests
    - Lack of balance of some zombies at the end of the game
    - The loot is quite boring, no big surprises with weapons
    - The crafts system is blah
    - The skill to run on the walls is a real ordeal, do not activate it

    The ultimate Zombie experience for so far.
    Do not take the 2 which regresses in any point compared to this one.    … Expand

    My favourite Zombie game of all time. I didn’t hear about it until after its release and got it for $10 off Kijiji. Best $10 I’ve ever spent in my life. I played this through twice and spent probably at least a 100 hours playing. Dying Light 2 however sucks really bad and I spent $130 on that.

    This game is a very good open world with a lot of side quest to do. In my opinion dying light is the best open world zombie game.

    I saw the story when the game came out and i loved it. I didn't have a good pc back then so i only watched the gameplay. Last year Dying Light 2 came out and i knew i had to play it now that i had a more capable pc . After i finished the second game i wanted to play the first one also and it was so good. Both games are awesome. The only thing that i feel is missing is the love intrest. YouI saw the story when the game came out and i loved it.

You kinda get a taste of that but it's very little. And maybe is just me , i mean , i get why it would't be space for love. In a world so **** like that maybe getting attached to someone isn't the best idea. Idk. But even with that missing i still loved both games.… 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.

    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.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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
