As more and more zombie-survival and zombie-focused titles are huddling together, the genre has almost become a reflection of itself: shambling and worn-out, yet the hordes of titles with some variation on “dead” in the title just keep on coming.
Though many titles within the past decade, like Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty‘s various zombie modes, Day Z, The Last of Us, and more have been some of the most popular titles to have players hack away at the end dead, finding ways to keep the dead fresh (already difficult due to the smell alone, I’m sure) is much easier said than done.
This all makes Dying Light a more curious entry in the zombie canon. It ticks off all the usual boxes of what’s in a zombie-centric game — horribly ravaged environments, a loss of hope, humans struggling for survival.
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!’
This game at least is a 7.5...
sites need to drop the Scores on Review.
Really love this game, for me: 9/10
I personally though it was a 8.5 but to each his own.
I'd say it's a 9.5 - I've had a lot of fun with this game.
A six? I'm going to have to strongly disagree with this score. I think an 8 is deserved, Dying Light is some of the best fun I have had so far this gen..and when you get to have other players with you it becomes a blast.
I love the traversing around the area too, and when you get the grappling hook...oh man does this game become even more fun.
I miss when reviews were based off specific categories like: Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, Replayability, etc. rather than just a number pulled out of a general opinion.
