Should I start from the first Dying Light?

[Fibre🌹]

I've launched DL2 just for the intro but straight away quit the game when I got into the city part but before I continue playing, should I start with DL1 regardless of connection or not?

That's how I did it, seems to flow into DL 2 better.

You really don't have to but for those gamers interested in game backstories I would highly recommend it as DL1 is fantastic game. It was the very first zombie game that I played.

[inetd]

no, these are 2 different games with different target audience. You will see those who like dl1 always crying here and asking to make dl2 alike dl1

Have 300 hours on the first game and 400 on the 2nd. I enjoy them both for their different offerings.

[Bleydoka]

i think the first 1 is actually the better game. dl1 and dl2 don't share a story.

[Zoneshift]

No, unless you want to understand easter eggs from dl1 when you play dl2

Thanks to all those who replied. Yeah I'm the type of player who would play the first title before the second one, even if the stories don't connect or it's a different story altogether. It just feels right. I purchased the first one a long time ago and never played it, then I purchased DL2 a couple months ago, played the intro and then stopped. So I might start from DL1 since people seem to like that one better than the current one.

Thanks again for the replies.

I wouldn't play DL1 before DL2 only because everything is significantly worse in DL2.

DL2 should be the prequel.

I wouldn't listen to DL1 fanboys, they're just blinded by their hatred towards DL2 and refuse to see anything good in it.
DL1 is amazing if you never played any DL game, but after playing DL2 it will seem outdated in quite a lot of aspects.

By far, the only thing DL2 has outclassed the first game on is in its parkour mechanics. That’s not even a debate.

For OP, play DL1 because what you’ll get is one of the best zombie sandbox experiences on the market

Yeah just finished DL1 today, took over 10 hours to finish the main campaign. Will be moving onto the "The Following" DLC. So far I love the game mechanics. Will play DL2 when I complete everything DL1 has to offer.

for start play the first Dying Light and then the amazing DLC "the following" after that completely ignore the disappointing and mediocre Dying Light 2 and go straight for Dead Island 2, one of the most fun zombie games

p.s. ohhh and the best part is DL1, the following and DI2 have guns! in contrast with DL2 that still after more than a year has not, i mean can you imagine? a zombie game to have guns? LUL
