Harran is a huge city with the huge number of zombies that are impossible to count, There's no cure yet found for the infected people but an medicine called Antazin will help the infected people to stay alive just for a short while, the main protagonist Kyle Crane sent from a large group called GRE to Harran for looking out if there's still survivors there,
At first the game force you to do not rush for killing or wandering around the city, you have to pass the tutorial first, after that finally you're free to go out, at first you'll ran out of breath so fast or you can't kill so fast but your skills will improve as you go forward through, I really like this strategy that some developers use for their games, it prepares the player for the adventure! it's what makes the game fun,
You can't complete the game without climbing over the walls and buildings, yes, it's like mirror's edge but with zombies, most of humans are afraid of heights but climbing over the walls while a group of zombies chasing you so fast is SO GODDAMN INTENSE, I really like this element in Dying light and it's unique, you can't find any other game like this!
Graphics are impressive, lighting's and shadows are beautiful and there's no doubt that this is one of those games that are completely impossible to run on last-gen consoles but I hate how same characters look like, the developer said they were working on the game for 3 years but if they could've make a specific face for each character it'd be great though it's not a big problem!
The gameplay at night is so much harder than during the sunlight, you have to keep your eyes open on the map at the corner because you should not EVER get noticed by Volatiles, Volatiles are big and fast and tough zombies that will kill you with almost 3 or 4 attacks but don't be disappointed you can skip the night by sleeping on a bed whenever you're at a safe house! overall the gameplay is ok, it doesn't much hurt the player for being limited in the city, you can feel the freedom in the game, you can craft every weapon, you can climb on every edge, that's what I want in an open-world zombie game! but it's still lack of some good elements that could've make it better, for example I didn't like the crafting system because it doesn't really seem effective or it's hard to find an hot weapon with lot of ammo's in it, I mean in a city with that much amount of zombies it's not fair to not have an good hot weapon, the controls in dying light are pretty much different than other games which made it hard to aim an pistol or any hot weapon, I experience a lot glitches while jumping over the walls, sometimes it doesn't work well!
The story gets better as the player moves forward through the game but it's kinda wasting time at first half of the game, the story didn't got me much into the characters, I felt like I was a slave doing the objectives alone, the writer could make the story much more emotional and more inspiring,
optional objectives are worth to play but the main story doesn't worth to play it for the second time, because it doesn't have different ending for the main story,
overall after too much delays and interruptions, I think it's worth it, it's an great game but it's no longer a masterpiece!
The Retouched update for Dying Light that improves graphical features has been released; here's how it compares with the Enhanced Edition.
I remember playing this for the first time on the PS4 and it knocking me sick and hurting my eyes due to the horrible motion blur and FPS.
Played it a lot on pc a year later. Then again on ps5 once they dropped the 60fps update. I'll be giving it another go. Mad how they have kept updating this game for 10 years.
Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.
It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!
But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?
For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.
LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
