    I would have never thought parkour an zombies would be mixed into an actual good game. Glad I played this.

    This game is what i have to say one of the best games in the history of modern gaming. Its an action packed thriller survival game where you fight to survive against the zombie outbreak in Haran. Use knifes, guns, and the world around you to mutilate the undead. Not only is the game play fun it has an awesome story to it as well.

Its an action packed thriller survival game where you fight to survive against the zombie outbreak in Haran. Use knifes, guns, and the world around you to mutilate the undead. Not only is the game play fun it has an awesome story to it as well. The lore often times makes you want to beat the next mission even more to unlock more of the intriguing story. The only issues that i have with the game is that once you beat the game 1 or 2 times it starts to not be as fun. The zombie mode isn't that great either i feel that it could have been better.… Expand

    this game is just fantastic! I never play games in first person but decided to try this out off a whim and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Dying light will sink it's teeth in you and not release until the wild ride is over. Don't cheat yourself from this grade A experience.

    This is easily one of the most fun games I've played. It has excellent melee combat, which utilizes weapon durability, crafting, and a multitude of different weapons. Ranged combat is also very good, with a unique twist.

Guns kill the zombies (and human enemies) very quickly, although it alerts all zombies to where you are, so you have to be smart about when you use them, or you'll get swarmed. The parkour is what really sets this apart from other games. You wouldn't think first-person, parkour, and zombies would be good genres to mix, but this game manages to pull it off exceptionally well. The world design is phenomenal. Every car, house, and lamp post is specifically put where it is to make the parkour flow. For example, a flipped over car creates a ramp that you can jump off of to land on top of a lamp post, and then jump to the top of a house. The story is the main reason why I don't give this game a 9 or 10/10. It just isn't that good. It obviously wasn't the main focus, but I still feel like they could've done better with it. The main villain is an obvious rip-off of Rais from Far Cry 3, except not done anywhere near as well. The side-characters aren't very interesting and are quite frankly 1 dimensional. The story also in general feels kinda rushed. You don't feel anything when something bad happens to a character you're meant to like, because they barely have any screen time to get to know them. But besides the story, it's a very fun game and I highly recommend it, especially since the developers are still supporting the game even though Dying Light 2 is a few months away.… Expand

    Неоднозначное у меня отношение к тематике зомби-апокалипсиса.

Вот если, к примеру, взять кино, то вспомнить нечто стоящее, помимо средней паршивости двух частей Зомбилэнда, достаточно проблематично. С играми компьютерными же всё иначе! Тут вам и великолепный по жуткости сурвач Resident Evil 2 ремейк конечно же, старенький забористый мясной шутан от первого лица Left 4 Dead, кривоватый местами, но всё же достойный внимания Zombie Army 4, да и топовый Wolfenstein на все времена тоже весьма успешно использовал в Old Blood живую мертвечину. Люблю я, знаете ли, зомбячьи бошки поотстреливать из чего-нибудь пожирнее — двустволка наше всё, или метнуть гранатку в бесноватую толпу неуклюжих мозгоедов и наблюдать после за праздничным феерверком гнилой плоти. Вышеозначенные проекты в полной мере удовлетворяли мои эти самые нездоровые увлечения. Dying Light, как очередная зомби-адвенчура, для нас должна была стать неоспоримым антистрессом с широким применением конечно же всевозможного огнестрельного и взрывоопасного вооружения. Правда вот у поляков из Techland были свои мысли по поводу расправы с зомбарями, и как бы они шли сильно в разрез с нашими ожиданиями и соответственно со всем вышесказанным. Да! Вы правильно поняли, Dying Light это совсем не про стрельбу. Нет тут есть конечно один вид пистолета, одна двустволка, пара штурмовух и собственно всё. Если не соврать первый пистолет в процессе прохожджения мы с Ксюнечкой получили где-то наверное спустя четверть игрового времени и три патрона к нему. Выстрелили из него один раз, по-моему даже чуть ли не случайно, и потом по одному из допов просто отдали его какому-то пассажиру. Ирония была в том, что оставшиеся пару патронов мы жутко экономили для какого-то из ряда вон выходящего события, наэкономили, блин)))) Потом конечно с течением времени, углубляясь в побочки и собирая горы лута, мы могли себе позволить и двустволочку и штурмовушечку и патрончики с горкой, но весь прикол что использовать против зомби огнестрел в Dying Light попросту неэффективно, хотя конечно местами без двустволки в борьбе против тяжеловесных тварей не обойтись, да и эта мысль о жутчайшем дефиците маслят, с которой мы проходили первую треть игры не покидала нас и после, хотя с патронцами и деньгами на их покупку уже было не всё так плохо в дальнейшем. Гранаты, к слову, зомбарям тоже не сильно-то и вредили, помнится, чтобы положить одну небольшую толпу мозгососов пришлось накидать этак их штучки 2-3, что при их дороговизне по стоимости у торгашей и дефицитности материалов при изготовлении выглядело затеей совершенно бесперспективной...… Expand

    I don't give 10's often, but this game is amazing! Way ahead of its time, graphics, and story are good, could be better, but the gameplay is what makes this game. If you like an immersive zombie game, I would 100% recommend!

    Edit: After playing Dying Light 2, I came back to the first and I realized the first is a 10 (from 9) and the second one a 8 (from 9), making the first one, indeed, superior.

    Once you start playing Dying Light, it's pretty hard to put it down. It took Dead Island and added an amazing story and parkour. Recipe for success!

    Just finished after the game had been out for over 7 years. Had a great time with all the mechanics. Was probably the best Zombie game I have played ever. Can be challenging at times, but the parkour system feels amazing. The skill trees are nice, but I felt like I didnt use alot of the abilities/combos throughout gameplay.

    This is a sure shank redemption for Techland, and a big step up from previous Dead Islands. [April 2015, p.65]

    A lot of fun in small bursts, but not amount of polish, parkour or persistence can plaster over the cracks of the aging Dead Island mechanics and systems. [Issue#121, p.72]

    Though not entirely soul-destroying, Dying Light will leave you feeling like you've just eaten a box of budget chocolates - unsatisfied, underwhelmed and unsure if it was worth the money. [March 2015, p.72]
