Is Dying Light a scary game?

[DanielStoSve]

I really dislike scary horror games, most of all jumpscares, however I do enjoy playing games and watching movies that has a horror theme to it yet it isn't really scary. I've played games such as L4D2, KF2 and other action games that has a horror theme to it, but isn't actually a horror game. I'm also a huge Slasher movie enthusiast, but I absolutely hate proper horror movies.

so I was wondering if Dying Light is more of an action game similar to L4D2, KF2, DBD and such, or if it's more of a horror game with action elements.

If its an action game with a horror theme (but not actually a horror game) I think im going to start playing it right now. I need something to play and Dying Light is one of the games I'm thinkin about.

Only certain parts of story / side quests may be scary, such as first volatile chase in the air drop mission. I wouldn't call Dying Light scary game, it can be just creepy at some places and that's it. Dying Light has slightly more scariness added to it due to its atmosphere compared to KF2, but nothing serious. Definitely more action as well.

Right when you come out of Brecken's tower in Prologue you're pretty much in open world, depends on what you do afterwards. Mess around in open world or do quests.

ok good, whole place is filled with tons of zombies right? oh when I for example go into a house and kill all zombies, will that house be clear or will there respawn zombies after a while? oh and ive seen some gameplay the parkour stuff looks pretty cool, looks complicated tho, is it hard to learn?

It depends on the area, some are clean and some others have some zombies in, for example infamy bridge is full of zombies. Yes they respawn, not instantly but eventually areas will be refilled with zombies, especially upon sleep / save reload. Parkour is extremely easy, in the beginning it'll feel slow but it becomes better as you level up in Agility.

DL isn´t more scary as my neighbours are.
Sometimes i do think that the sweet Zombies are more lovelier and friendlier as that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ppl in my neighbourhood.
So, turn off the lights, set the headphones on loud and start the game. You will be in the Lalaluna-Land.

There aren't many safe zones, but a lot of areas. And yes, once you clear out zombies from safe zone and take it, zombies will no longer be able to ever enter it.

Well, while I won't say there are not jump scares in some places that are scripted, theres no *long hallways with gaint screaming copy pasta monsters*

I think the most scared I've ever been was more of an annoyance. A bomber was hiding behind a door, and as Im used to standard biters doing the same I slapped it with a hammer... Did't work out too well.

Action is pretty Dead Island-y (Ofc, this is just of dead island was better, both are good games but this one is better), zombies either slap or grab and bite you which prompts a button smashing QTE, which becomes more of an annoyance than anything midgame, and killing said zombies is slapping them around, shooting them, or (My personal fav) going Chuck Noris and just kicking everything

You should play with headphone at least to know where the danger is comming from. And it's better expérience.

There are some scary/suspensful parts to it, but Dying Light is mostly an action game. Even in night, you will feel more like the need to rush than be scared.

headphones are not a better experience and you can locate the danger way better with an at least 5.1 sound setup compared to headphones

Right, can't play without headphones personally. Especially when living in place where cars often pass causing distracting noises. Headphones ftw.
