Review Zivid 3/5 · Jan 13, 2019
Good Game, Bad Ending
As the title says I enjoyed the game but found the endings for the main game and the following DLC pretty poor.
The following DLC was definitely weaker than the main game

Dying Light is a first-person, action survival horror game set in a vast and dangerous open world. During the day, players traverse an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population. At night, the hunter becomes the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more dangerous. Most frightening are the predators which only appear after sundown. Players must use everything in their power to survive until the morning’s first light.

A Dying Passion
I'm a very huge fan of Zombie media. I find the theme's and the concepts behind Zombies to be very interesting. And it's not that hard for me to enjoy something with Zombies in it. Dying Light made that a little hard. I should enjoy this game more than I did, but at the end of the day with a …
Read moreI'm a very huge fan of Zombie media. I find the theme's and the concepts behind Zombies to be very interesting. And it's not that hard for me to enjoy something with Zombies in it. Dying Light made that a little hard. I should enjoy this game more than I did, but at the end of the day with a boring setting and dull characters with little no personality, I was finding it hard to care about anything that I was doing. The game is fun, and it's filled with a lot of things to do. But I simply didn't find those things interesting or all that worth my time. In fact the most fun I had with the game was only ever had when I was playing online Cooperatively. There's really nothing all that wrong with Dying Light from a gameplay perspective, but I've come to expect a lot more from Zombie games. If I wanted a mindlessly fun zombie game to play without any real intelligence to it, I could go back and play Dead Rising.

It's a flawed game, and sometimes the parkour gets in the way of itself, but it's more polished than previous Techland games. And hey, it's still fun to bash zombies, isn't it?
