    One of the best games of 2015 and this is an amazing package. It includes all of the DLC, but that's just the icing on the cake. You also get new game play additions like the legendary skills, new weapons and new moves. The following is an amazing piece of DLC by itself and will last you 25-30 hrs of game play easily. Must have for gamers who love fun and atmospheric open world games.

    Ridiculous amount of content, I spent over 150 hours on this edition, the following is a new whole game, entirely.

    Great story, top notch graphics, unmatched gameplay (Insane AI - best I've seen since Fear and Black & white), the game manages to deliver pure fun...
    It is by far the best videogame experience you can have at the 8th gen of consoles.

    Regardless of what anyone else will say... Forget The Witcher 3, God of War 4, Halo or whatever first party or RDR alikes...

    Dying Light is the definitive game of this console generation... until

    Dying Light 2, of course! It would be tough to surpass what the first game have accomplished, but if Techland manages to deliever a similar experience, only with small enhancements, it is fine for me.    … Expand

    Love the game, it have so many fun easter eggs that you 'can smile in the middle of a zombie apocalypse! The world, movement and story are really great! Every fan of games should just play it for a minute at least :)!

    Honestly, this game is probably my 2nd favorite game of all time. I love the way it merges the zombie world with parkour. Some of the coolest moments were just running from roof to roof. The Following gave me a lot to do, and it kept me happy. Once you beat it, it does get a little stale, but other than that, this game is amazing!

    Dying Light:
    Lets get the bad out of the way first, Dying Light's story is lacklustre at best. Its not bad but it is incredibly cliched and generic right down to its antagonist, Rais, who is little more than a Vaas Montenegro rip-off that even the protagonist, Kyle Crane, remarks on being really annoying. There is a weapon durability system in place here that is terrible simply because it is a weapon durability system, though it is tolerable and not nearly as bad or annoying as games like Silent Hill: Downpour or most especially Breath of The Wild.
    That pretty much sums up all the glaring flaws, now its time for the good stuff and boy is there some good stuff. I mentioned that the story is lacklustre but it does do a fantastic job of putting the player in fun and interesting scenarios. The main quests are great (for the most part) and while the side missions can be very hit or miss, I did enjoy the majority of them.
    The game is playable in 4-player co-op and functions great in both single-player and co-op, you also get a large variety of outfits to wear including a plethora of national outfits. Killing zombies NEVER gets old, it simply remains fun throughout the whole game, even on New Game+ and theres even a 4th post-game skill tree called "Legend Levels" that goes up to level 250 and provides permanent stat boosts as well as a number of unique outfits unlocked every 25 levels. All of this makes the game highly re-playable.

    The Following:
    The Following is an expansion for Dying Light that is bundled in with the Enhanced Edition and is almost as long as the main game. This time around the story is unique, interesting and genuinely unpredictable. There are new weapons, outfits, a new area called "The Countryside" and even a new skill tree, "Driver". Buggies are a new addition that really spices up the gameplay quite alot and they can be upgraded, painted and decorated. The Countryside is beautiful and you can spend hours simply exploring this lush, new world.

    Be The Zombie:
    Be The Zombie is a PvP Invasion mode where you invade other players games as a deadly Volatile and attempt to kill them before they destroy all your nests. As a Volatile, you'll have your own level and skill tree and you'll gradually gain more and more abilities that can be used to crush the humans. This mode is incredibly fun and will provide hours of entertainment.

    Dying Light really surprised me with its quality and I would definitely recommend it to any and all zombie fans out there.    … Expand

    Very enjoyable. I 100% completed the game. Look forward to Dying Light 2. Zombies are still great.

    The vibe of the game is very cool. The moment you realize how limited the gameplay and missions are is the moment you know if you wanna keep going or not. The expansion made it better, however at this point (2021) I’d say wait for the sequel.

    This is THE Best Zombie game I have ever played.

    Story isnt bad, but "infected" and parkour are the best combination of a zombie game i have played in a while.

    The Following is the kind of expansion that by today's publishing standards could have easily been labeled as a sequel and given a higher price tag. It doesn’t get everything right, but still has a lot to offer.

    Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition offers so much more than what the base game did, while also improving upon the already solid base game at the same time. This is easily the definitive way to play Dying Light.
