Before I entered this game, I thought that this would be another game representing the world in a zombie apocalypse and there would be nothing different in it from the others. When I came in and saw that my character was just parachuting from a plane into an area full of zombies, I realized that the game would be very good.



•Combat:
The gameplay takes place in a city full of zombies named Harran. The battles are mainly in melee range with melee weapons like swords, wrenches, knives, pipes etc. I say mainly because they are not just melee weapons. There are also guns that are used mainly to eliminate bandits, as they block many melee strikes and can take a long time until someone is killed by such a weapon. Some of them even have other rifles.

•Weapons:
Melee weapons are a lot of fun to use because you can cut off the heads of zombies and see them flying around, and as for guns, they are pretty straight forward. There is no bullet drop, which is normal. I doubt anyone would get into the game and start thinking about bullet drop, i mean this is not Battlefield. Something that impressed me, however, was the bow. Shooting with it can be a little bit weird and take some time to get used to. There's a arrow drop on it.

•Day and Night:
Dying Light has day and night and the two are completely different not only because it gets darker or lighter. What distinguishes night from day are Volatiles and the fact that other zombies get damage buffs and can also climb walls like the runners. Players can also use environmental traps, such as spikes and electrified fences to kill the infected. Daytime will last for approximately 64 minutes, while night time will last for approximately 7 minutes.

•Crafting & Blueprints:
Crafting in this game is something very important. Whether you want to get seriously involved in modifying weapons or you just want to make a simple medkit, you have to craft. You can upgrade your weapons, which increase their stats, make modifications that add some elements to your weapons, such as electricity or poison, or you can make some potions, medkits or lockpicks.
I told you the sweet tales of crafting, but as you know, if something is too good, then there is a catch. To craft such things, you first need their blueprint. Then you have to gather all the materials that the blueprint wants and then you can craft.

•Level & skills:
You can raise levels in many different ways. From jumping on buildings to killing zombies. Each level up gives you a skill point that you can use in certain skill trees. There are five perk trees: Survival, Agility, Power, Driver, and Legend. Survival is your overall skill tree. You will see how to earn points in each category while you play. Just to mention that Driver skill tree is available in The Following DLC.

•Multiplayer:
I personally haven't played much online. Only a few times with a friend, but I haven't been to ''Be the Zombie'', for example. Co-op allows a maximum of 4 people to play together, pass quests or make challenges. In "Be the Zombie" you can play as the Night Hunter, which is considered the most evolved type of zombie in Dying Light . The players who are playing as humans are tasked with destroying the infected nests and surviving attacks performed by the Night Hunter.


Dying Light is an action survival game presented in first-person perspective. In the story of the game, you play the role of Kyle Crane, an undercover operative who is sent in Harran to find an important file from a rogue political figure. I personally find the story very interesting and obsessive. The game really grabbed my interest and managed to develop some connection between me and the characters in the story, especially with Jade. (💔)


At the beginning of the game it is quite difficult because you have almost no weapons, and the ones you have break easily and are weak. However, when you get to the point where you find weapons more often and open enough chests, the game becomes fairly easy at least on normal difficulty. For comparison, I will say that after the normal difficulty there are 2 more difficulties. One is Hard Mode and the other is Nightmare Mode. Things naturally get rough there, in case the game seems too easy for you. I should also mention that playing at night is not easy even on normal difficulty with all these volatiles and I don't even want to imagine what a night run in Nightmare mode is.


The graphics are beautiful. The zombies are really well made and I just love the animations of killing them. The way the picture slows down to see how you cut off a zombie's head is just an indescribable sight. I should also mention how beautiful it is when, for example, Volatile catches you. It's only beautiful if you watch them catch someone else and not yourself tho.

21 tracks totaling 1 hour and 10 minutes, in YouTube Music
A very nice soundtrack. It really fits in very well with the game and gives you that feeling that makes you stand on your toes even when you know there's nothing scary around.


The game focuses on people who like scary, zombie apocalypse and parkour games like Dead Island, 7 Days to Die or Mirror's Edge, as well as fans of story-rich games such as Metro Exodus.


The game performed very well with the few exception I put up in the cons. For some reason, when Alt + Tab the game crashes and i have to restart my computer.

Game tested on:


The game is really worth it and you should not miss the opportunity to add it to your library. Although the game is worth the full price, I recommend you wait for a discount, as the game is already 5 years old and gets discounts quite often. I also recommend that you get the Enhanced Edition, as there isn't much difference in discount prices anyway.


At this link you can see the compilation I did with my best moments in this game and get an idea of ​​how much fun it really is. My channel also contains all the videos in which I go through the story and the quests in case you don't wanna play the game but only watch it. I hope you like it.
