Zombies can endure even the most brutal of beatings. Just about anything can be used as a weapon, though that doesn't necessarily mean they are effective. Weapons scavenged in the city range from a broken 2x4 to a baseball bat.
Zombies have heads of steel in Harran, and I found that out the hard way. You must know when to fight and when to flee. For the first several hours of the game, it is beneficial to pick your battles wisely. Rarely did the game screw me over by not allowing me to grab an edge or pole.Ĭombat in Dying Light is its own beast. The majority of my parkour deaths were my own fault. Racing through the city is a blast and more importantly it's smooth, responsive, and the system mostly works as intended. The controls, while initially troublesome, turned out to be extremely intuitive. If you can climb it in real life, chances are you can do so in the game. Parkour is not a feature you see much in a first person game but Techland has handled it pretty damn well. Even though the story dropped the ball at times, Dying Light's superb gameplay was always there to pick it up. Also, the majority of the characters are quite uninspiring. There are a few twists I didn't see coming, but a predictable ending kept the story from being great. I found Dying Light's plot to be interesting enough to keep me wondering what would happen next. Crane is saved by two runners who proceed take him to a safe zone to heal up and prepare to look for a cure. Upon landing in Harran, Crane is attacked by bandits that he quickly dispatches of but is bitten and infected by one of the zombies. Kyle Crane has been sent to Harran to make contact with a rouge agent named Rais who has information that could damage their reputation if leaked.
GRE was formed after an outbreak in Harran. An undercover operative working for a company called GRE. "Goodnight, Good Luck" is the slogan Dying Light has been using and I can't think of a more accurate one. While Dying Light does have its share of action, survival is the predominant approach the game takes.
Admittedly, before I ventured into the hideous but ironically gorgeous world of Harran, I came in thinking Dying Light would fall victim to this very problem. Too many games use the word "survival" to advertise a game that turns out to be more action that survival.
