    Dying Light just stepped up the game in a genre that has gone stale. Color me impressed.

    Dying Light is a great survival horror, with a very well executed parkour system, a visceral and engaging combat system and some nighttime sequences of pure, crushing terror.

    Dying Light falls short of Dead Island in terms of novelty and setting, but gains on other fronts thanks to parkour and a crafting system more streamlined and instant. If you love the genre, this is a great game.

    Dying Light mixes elements from Dead island, Mirror's Edge and Far Cry efficiently. Crafting, action, exploration and free running are all well-implemented in this open-world survival game. And you can expect to be genuinely frightened when the night comes. With a lot of content and satisfying ways to play in multiplayer, this game can, indeed, please a wide audience, even if everything is not perfect.

    Dying Light is an interesting mix of standard, now over used gameplay features but with a (mostly) well-implemented parkour slant.

    Dying Light has some issues when compared to its forbears, but it also sets itself apart in some remarkable ways. The parkour really is as good as you’ve heard and is the first bit of innovation we’ve seen in the zombie genre in far too long. The RPG systems definitely allow you to hone your character in a natural fashion, but it would have been nice to see some extra classes for variety. Night play isn’t for me, but I won’t knock it for that. Techland never hid its brutal nature. As a piece of zombie fiction, Dying Light isn’t the most original tale. As a way to experience the undead apocalypse first-hand? It’s hard to beat.

    Dying Light should showcase everything Techland learned from Dead Island. Instead, it showcases everything they haven't. [March 2015, p.57]

    One of the best zombie games I've ever played! It has a satisfying and addictive combat system, huge world, lots of gore and a great story.

    Great co-op game which keeps you engaged with story and side missions . Singleplayer experience is also interesting.

    Solid visuals and traversal mechanics makes this a fun game to fart around in. Combat is solid and the story is passable.

After some time there is even more zombies on theThe game was definitely a blast and it gets more and more challenging as you progress. After some time there is even more zombies on the streets and there is no real reason to kill them, it gets tedious real fast. Crafting aspect is fine but I lacked the option to craft multiple molotovs or grenades at once... Co-op is mostly not lag, I didn't stumble upon any major issues with connectivity. The fact that tutorial and the last phase of the game can only be played solo is a bad decision... The phased scripted ending did not appeal to me. The amount of ammo you can carry is low too.… Expand

Evlere şenlik, %76'ya kadar sohbet muhabbet geldiğim oyunu en son sinir krizi ile bıraktım, hayatımda yaşadığım en tatsız deneyimlerden biriydi.
