    Great combat mechanics and engaging characters. Unfortunate, because they turned it into nothing but a parkour simulator. Also has the cheap trope of punishing players that want to explore an open world on their own in a linear story: enemies are overpowered and quest lines makes no sense. To give a better idea on how reliant on grinding and repetition this game is, there is no fast travelGreat combat mechanics and engaging characters.

Also has the cheap trope of punishing players that want to explore an open world on their own in a linear story: enemies are overpowered and quest lines makes no sense. To give a better idea on how reliant on grinding and repetition this game is, there is no fast travel in the game. I would not recommend this game for most people, but for "hardcore" gamers that spends their hours doing nothing but play video games then by all means.… Expand

    Even though the graphics and performance took a hit, Techland manages to maintain the speed and excitement of Dying Light on the Nintendo Switch.

    Dying Light: Platinum Edition is a fantastic conversion to the Nintendo Switch, one which shows that it's possible to bring a technically ambitious game to this platform while delivering an engaging experience. With very competent mechanics, solid gameplay, and a demanding difficulty level, this version of Dying Light also includes all the additional content that has been made available since the game's original release. A true gem and a real example of what Nintendo Switch conversions should aspire to.

    There aren’t really any other games like this on the Switch, so as long as you’re okay with — or at least willing to tolerate — visuals that pale in comparison to how they look elsewhere, then you’re in for one of the last gen’s best zombie games.
