    Ultimately, we’ve enjoyed what we’ve played of Dying Light: The Beast so far. To a lot of people it’ll come across as more of the same — which it almost certainly is, to some degree. However, we think Techland has been smart to improve or alter small things to make it a better overall experience. It’s not as expansive as the second game, nor as original as the first game, but if you like cleaving zombies and jumping around rooftops, then this may just be the most refined Dying Light yet.

    It was explosive and fun, with a decent story and stellar gameplay loop. The blend of parkour and zombie-killing made for an adrenaline-packed experience, enhanced by the intricate crafting, scavenging, and leveling up systems. It’s a worthwhile pick-up for any zombie-killing fan.
