Dying Light Puns

I've been playing Dying Light on and off for a couple of months now, solo and co-op.

The start of the game is really difficult as you got weapons that break in 2 swings and do no damage, and you feel like you can't really fight against any zombies and the only sollution is to run, which I didn't really like and it's why I forgot about it numerous times.

Gameplay is just fun, slash heads off, parkour through a dead city, be batman basically with the grappling hook, it's like Mirrors Edge on steroids, I could honestyl just spend hours running on the city rooftops. Combat is as I said difficult at the beginning but as you progress it becomes way easier, your weapons one-shot most zombies, you can modify, the guns just make the game extremelly easy. Only thing I didn't like about the gameplay are the night sections, don't get me wrong they are scary as shit but I feel like there is absolutely no reason to spend the nights out, don't feel like the 2x Survivor points are worth it at all, hope they improve on that in the sequel.

Story was pretty basic, even though I really enjoyed Kyle Crane, he felt very natural in this setting, and not forced at all, his voice actor did a great job. The villain was awful, complete 180 from Kyle, he was evil for the sake of being evil, nothing driving him to be a psychopath and just felt forced. All other characters too while we're at it, when some important characters die, I really didn't feel anything either because they were annoying or vanilla. The story is all over the place, pacing is dreadfull in my opinion. Some story missions have great atmosphere though, like The School, The Pit and Old Town just looked very beautiful even in a post-apocaliptic landscape.

Side stuff was mostly fetch quests but there were some interesting ones where you could really see what a zombie outbreak does to people, how it breaks people, and how there are some people that are even worse than the zombies. Graphics still look beautiful even 6 years later.

Overall this game was quite enjoyable, mostly for the gameplay and how much fun there is to be had in here, especially in co-op. Story while pretty mediocre was a good way to carry the gameplay and I'm pretty tempted to 100% the game as it doesn't seem that difficult, firstly though got to get through The Following DLC which I'm pretty hyped about.

This game is amazing with a friend, but is also pretty good solo. Some of the quarantine zones are really easy and can be farmed for xp and money, to get really good weapons and upgrades. It can be a beat them up/shoot them up zombie game if you want it to be, farming the quarantine zones.

In multiplayer there are competitions you can start such as 'find the most loot in 1 minute', 'kill the most zombies in 1 minute', or 'get to the airdrop first' with the winner getting extra points to level up abilities.

By far the best part of the game is the parkour, and my favourite part: drop-kicking zombies off of roofs (and you get an achievement if you do it to 100 zombies). I also unlocked the ability to stomp on zombies heads and watch them explode.

The story is pretty good too, and I find myself really rooting for the survivors. The night-time is extremely challenging too, and I sometimes find myself shouting and swearing at the screen as I get into a situation that's too challenging.

The early game is extra difficult as you will only have melee weapons, which constantly break. The game gets really good once you unlock guns and can shoot everything.

PC version is coming and i'm looking if, as a big fan of the games mentioned in the title, Days Gone will fit.

I love exploration, collectibles and challenging quest, has Days Gone all of those?

EDIT:

I forgot to mention Horizon Zero Dawn!

EDIT2:

Thank you all for the replies, i really appreciated, you convinced me and i will buy it on Steam, now i only have to wait the 18th of May!

EDIT3:

To all the people that are suggesting to play Ghost of Tsushima, i know is a very good game, but i am a PC player :)

- Dl 2 will have 5 MAJOR endings, 3 of them will have to further options affecting the final outcome

- 26 main quests with internal choices

- Targetting a September release date/ announcement at e3 live event with a story trailer which was leaked online few months back

- The game will have severe optimization issues running on current gen consoles/ especially base consoles. Techland plans to ditch 1080p resolution and stick with 900p on the on baser consoles ~ 80 lower resolution scaling

- The view distance to be significantly low on current gen (this is done to make the game run with minimum 30 fps at all times) to a point where only things afoot are visible clearly

- Techland is planning for two expansions, 1 free to make up for their silence and other will be a standalone expansion which takes place on a new location with a different character

"Dying Light 2 Stay Human" has been trademarked.

Recently I’ve decided to re-join the DL community again after a long hiatus, and conveniently a dev update video dropped yesterday. https://youtu.be/DRM2Tc84rb8

The dev update seems relatively innocent at first glance, but if you go into the comment sections or check out the subreddits reaction it’s quite lukewarm. I’ve heard mentions of the game being in “development hell” and of lacking dev communication for over a year. So what is going on with DL2 and techland?

Dying Light suffered from it's 30fps lock just like Prey did when it came out. Now with 60fps it's transformative and feels like a new game. Highly recommend playing this masterpiece if you haven't already. Also a good time to jump back into Harran.
