Main Game:
Amazing, one of the best zombie games I've ever played. The parkour is so fun and the combat is fun too, both is very satisfying for the most part. The story is serviceable and the voice acting is good. Excellent game.
9/10

The Following DLC:
Who would have thought the parkour game would also be a really good driving game? The physics are nice and fun to drive in, the map is big and lots to do in it. The easter eggs in this dlc are cool too (the easter egg ending). Great DLC.
9/10

Hellraid DLC:
For how good the other 2 were, jeez man, this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. It's so repetitive, the story is so boring, the weapons aren't fun because you just use the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapons throughout the whole DLC. and I had to do this DLC a lot to get the 100% achievements. Waste of time playing this unless you want to 100% the game.
3/10

Overall:
Amazing game. Would recommend playing this before Dying Light 2, also play The Following DLC at all costs it's really fun especially with friends.
9/10

Forget everything you think you know about zombie survival games. Dying Light throws you headfirst into a terrifying world overrun by the undead, but with a revolutionary twist: free-running. Imagine scaling crumbling buildings, leaping across decaying rooftops, and maneuvering through narrow alleys with a grace that would make a professional traceur jealous. This isn't just about slow, methodical survival; it's about using your agility and the environment to outsmart and outrun relentless hordes of the infected. The innovative free-running mechanics completely transform the genre, adding a layer of strategy, exhilarating speed, and pure, unadulterated fun to navigating a sprawling urban jungle infested with the undead.


Free-Running Revolution: Scale buildings, leap across rooftops, and escape hordes with an unmatched free-running system. This innovative mechanic adds a layer of strategy and pure fun to navigating the infested city.
Terror by Day, Utter Panic by Night: The world transforms as the sun sets. The once sluggish infected become enraged "Volatiles," forcing you to adapt your tactics from parkour chases to desperate night-time survival.
More Than Just Mashing Buttons: Craft weapons, scavenge for resources, and master strategic combat to survive against the relentless undead horde.


Story Follows Familiar Lines: The narrative leans on horror tropes and doesn't break new ground.
Fetch Quests Can Hinder Flow: Some missions can feel repetitive, interrupting the fast-paced action.


While the story might not reinvent the wheel, Dying Light's innovative free-running mechanics are a game-changer. The world is a terrifying playground to explore, and the day-night cycle adds a constant layer of tension. For the price (typically under $20), it's a must-play for anyone who wants to experience a zombie apocalypse unlike any other.
