Dying Light

SurvivalStory RichAction
7.5/10

What I liked

The parkour is probably the best part of the game. Running across rooftops, climbing buildings and finding different ways around the city makes exploring much more fun than just walking from one mission to another.

What I didn't like

Some missions and activities become repetitive, and the game can feel a little slow before you unlock better skills and weapons.

Story

The story was interesting enough to keep me going, but for me the gameplay and exploring the city were stronger than the actual story.

Combat & Gameplay

Melee combat becomes much better as you get stronger and find better weapons. I also liked how nighttime completely changes the experience. Going outside at night feels much more dangerous than during the day.

Exploration & Open World

Parkour makes exploration one of the strongest parts. Instead of simply following roads, you're constantly looking at buildings and thinking about how to get across or on top of them.

Final Thoughts

A fun zombie game with great parkour and exploration, although I enjoyed the newer Dying Light games more.
