Is the game good? Probably. It seemed fun enough during my short playthrough. The main issue with the game is that it is an open world RPG but you can't change your main characters gender. Those of you who hate playing as a different gender than your own will know that this is a pretty big deal breaker.

This game is not incredibly narratively focused to the point where your protagonist has to be male, They literally have a character in the game whom you could easily swap leads with and they would be just as effective in the story.

This game and the Witcher 3 both have lead protagonists that do not inherently have to be male and are both Open world RPGs. I hope that developers realize that 51% of the worlds population plays video games too.

Edit:

Hahah you all are very adorable, getting mad over an opinion.

Some clarification I guess,

First off, Games like Metroid/Uncharted/Tomb Raider/Last of us are not role playing games, not in the sense that you level up a character and fine tune them to your playstyle while affecting the world with your choices. In the aformentioned games, You are witnessing a story. Drake is in Uncharted and your choices are detached from his enough that his feels like a seperate entity from you. You are just watching his adventure. There is no need for a female version of the character because you have little to no agency in that world.

This game and the Witcher 3 are vastly different in that respect. For all intents and purposes you are the main character. You make decisions, you level them up to suit your playstyle. They are your visage in that world. Dying light has less of an excuse than Witcher 3 does, Atleast Witcher 3 is based on literature where Geralt is a main character.

The plot for this story would be no different whether it had a male or female lead. It would be like if Skyrim or fallout were gender locked, it makes no sense.
