Easily the most terrifying part of the original Dying Light was venturing out into the streets of Harran at night. Whilst out of your safehouse after sundown, you would have to run away from terrifying Volatiles as they chased you relentlessly through the back alleys and rooftops of the city. However, in Dying Light 2, those relentless moments have been toned down slightly when playing on the game’s base difficulty.
Speaking in the latest issue of EDGE magazine, Tymon Smektala, Dying Light 2’s lead designer, says that the opening hours will be more approachable for new players. Criticism was levelled at the first game in 2015 for how much pressure you were under early on, due to your lack of tools to handle the Volatiles.
Techland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dying Light with updates and events for both games. The new The Beast game comes out soon.
It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.

So unfortunate. I'd subscribe to premium in a heartbeat if I could play Resistance: FoM for real on there. But game streaming is and always will be trash.
I wish the Portal would do PS+ Streaming. I really want to play these handheld on it. :\
I wish they would release them properly. But have been playing Ratchet and Clank games om streaming and it works pretty well these days, where I live atleast, so will probably give them a shot regardless.
Until they remaster PS3 games properly for play on the 4/5... I keep my 3 hooked up for just these situations.
The new Dying Light 2 update is finally here, transforming the zombie FPS into a brutal roguelike that you can try for yourself right now.
