You even have this hook shot type thing that lets you zip around like you are freaking Batman! Wall running and being able to pull yourself up a ledge quickly make getting around the city a lot of fun. Parkour is what this game is all about and you are able to nip around the map very quickly. The Gameplayĭying Light is well known for its quick-paced gameplay. Not just that, but the lighting effects when day turns to night and you see the shadows of the Zombies that want to have you for lunch are very well done. However, I love the detail they crafted in this decently sized open world. It is very easy to look at this game and say that it looks just like every other game set in a zombie apocalypse. I really like the art direction of Dying Light. Also, I really like the way it gets across the point that survival in this world is super tough and it is only ever going to get harder! The Presentation It does a good job of setting up this zombie apocalypse. While it may not win any awards or anything like that. I actually like what they did with the story in Dying Light. If you want a zombie first person shooter that kicks the intensity up to 10, Dying Light is the game for you. While it may have taken forever to come out (and the sequel is the same) it really impressed a lot of people. When it comes to zombie games, Dying Light really does a lot to stand out from the rest of the crowd. However, it is also a lot easier for you guys to be seen and to make noise, alerting the zombies to where you are. What is kind of cool is that when you venture out at night as a team, you do have more chance of survival thanks to your numbers. You can actually play through the whole campaign in co-op and I think that is really cool. Also, when you play with friends it makes you work as a team as you can coordinate attacks on the zombies. I have had fun playing Dying Light on my own, but it is an absolute blast when you team up with some friends. This to me was always the incentive to go and explore that little bit further in the hope that I would find something that will help me out. You can fix up your weapons and if you have the right resources you can actually craft better and more powerful weapons. These weapons are not going to last forever so you need to keep an eye on them as having them break in the middle of a fight is a nightmare, especially if it is at night! It is very tense stuff and it is awesome! Smack Them In The Headĭying Light is all about melee combat and there are over 100 different items that you can use to take the undead down. Going out at night before you are level 8 is sure to end up in your death! They do not mess around and you will have to sneak around, use distractions and just pray that you do not get caught.
Then at night, all hell breaks loose! The Zombies become super strong, nearly as fast as you are and much more alert. You will find that you can get around them quite easily and they are only super dangerous when there are a lot of them.
The zombies during the day are more docile and easily managed. During the day you need to go out and scavenge for supplies that can make your weapons and make sure you have other items to progress. Watch Out For The Darkĭying Light has one of the most interesting day and night cycles of any game I have played. Many times, you will find that you will avoid the undead rather than engaging them in battle. Being able to move quickly is a huge part of what makes Dying Light so much fun. As a result, you can run on walls, pull your self up quickly, make cool jumps and you even have a grappling hook that allows you to zip around. This is a game where you play as a character that is very nimble on their feet.
DYING LIGHT FREE RUNNING PC
What made me really excited in the months leading up to Dying Light on the PC coming out was the parkour mechanics. In that regard the story is fine, but you are certainly not getting anything like Resident Evil or The Last of Us here. I do feel that it gives you enough information to let you know that this is a messed-up world, the zombie outbreak is getting worse and survival is only going to get harder and harder. To be fair to Dying Light though while the actual story may not be super interesting. Let’s face it there are only so many ways that a zombie outbreak can happen and we have had so many movies and games at this point it is hard to tell a super original zombie story. The weakest point of Dying Light for me is the story.
