I'm about eight hours into Dying Light's campaign and it is shaping up to be quite the experience. Once you get the hang of it, the game's parkour feels great and combat is effective in a pinch. But, that's not to say that Dying Light is a game you can fly through. While you are well equipped, the game poses a large challenge and it is very easy to get over run by zombies if you are not careful. Doing your best to stay vigilant during combat and knowing when to run away is necessary to avoid death.
Dying Light's highly advertised day/night cycle adds its own dynamic to the game. During the day you have a slight upper hand over the zombies, but at night your chances of survival are reduced to very slim as zombie numbers are increased and more powerful foes are introduced into the mix. The game becomes a fight for life and it is an exhilarating and terrifying rush that keeps players on their toes.
I haven't found much in the way of story that is very interesting, but as of yet I don't have too many other complaints about the game. The world is beautiful, the game plays well, and Dying Light is unique enough to feel refreshing compared to other recent open-world games. Look for a full review and a Twitch stream of Dying Light from PBG within the week!
