This game not only has great graphics but is also a lot of fun with some good story lines. It's ipen world which affords tons of playtime and options if you wish to take a break from the main story line. Would highly recommend this game for anyone with a love of zombies and games that play similar to assassins creed.

This is what I w been waiting for. It's got tense atmosphere, at times unnervingly freaky. You feel like you can navigate safely during the day, then when night falls it crazy scary. It handles great and feels good. The story is good and the rpg elements for your character and weapons keep it interesting. I love it.

It's been a couple years since finding a game that I can't wait to get off work for. Dying Light is great!
The open world is amazing. As you gain experience you get insane new ways to kill zombies. The graphics are tight, the gameplay is well thought-out and responsive. And, most important: Dying Light is FUN!!!

You're thinking, another zombie game?!?! It is but you have different functions, different game play, amazing graphics, great story and best of all great zombie AI. It can be a little frustrating learning all the moves,etc but once you get the hang of it, hold on for the ride or make sure your laces are tied and RUN! Very fun and thrilling game.

It combines elements from Dead Island and a bit of Shadow of Mordor, it's really fun to explore the huge sandbox area and survive, it's difficult at the beginning but once you start leveling up it becomes fun. Looking forward to the sequel.

Honestly didn't think it was going to be all that at first until I finally got to play it through and beat it. The story was well done and the gameplay is just so smooth and well done. Playing with friends especially against a night hunter zombie (pvp) is probably the best experience I've had in a while

Overall, the game is good. I liked that you could play the entire single player campaign with friends. Game dynamics are good. I wish there was a bit more challenge in the secret areas/Quarantine areas . They were listed as hard or very hard, but found them quite easy. The drawback is that the single player campaign is rather short.

I was on the fence about this game, but I'm glad I got it. Awesome game play mechanics, fun day and night cycle that makes it seem like a different game, really gory, addictive side missions that don't feel like chores, decent story, and beautiful graphics make for a game worth buying.

This game far exceeded my expectations. The gameplay feels smooth and unique. So far (only about 10 hours in) the story and side quests are fun. Looking forward to exploring this game further, so glad that I took a chance on it. Would highly recommend it to anyone, even if you're not a fan of the whole zombie thing.

Dying Light is a great zombie horror game from the makers of Dead Island. With this iteration they have added parkour movement to your character to help get around the city better. This is definitely an upgrade over previous Dead Island games. The location is wide open from the start and you can traverse where every you like in the map but you probably shouldn't until you upgrade your character. Your character does start out as a sorry sack that cannot run more than 10 feet without needing rest but over time you build up your movement skills and weapons through an RPG like upgrade system. The one big drawback to this game and a game mechanic I cannot stand is weapon degradation. Your weapons will degrade pretty quickly after a couple of uses and will need to find new weapons quickly. This wasn't as much a problem in Dead Island because most things found around the map could be used as weapons something Dying Light did not continue. This is a definite recommended purchase for any Zombie game fan or for someone that doesn't like to sleep.

If you're a fan of the survival-horror genre, then you'll most likely love this game. After the prologue, it truly is open world, with something always after you. Stay on the rooftops or you'll never survive. The graphics are also top notch, taking full advantage of the next gen consoles' capabilities.

This is very exciting and vast. The climbing and parkour is hard to get used to and the controls are confusing at times. Graphics are similar to a far cry 4, background scenery looks amazing.

This game I would say is a more realistic or real world version of the dead rising type gaming. Graphics are great. The missions can get a little repetitive and I found the controls took a little time getting use to but overall a very fun game. A must have for fans of zombie themed gaming! !!

This game is great. When you really get a hang of the running controls, you really feel like you're doing parkour all through the city. Joining up with friends is great as well. Night time gives me anxiety but a zombie game should scare you from time to time lol

If you liked dead island you will like this game. I thought the story was good. The best part is running and jumping around while killing zombies. The chase scenes can get pretty intense too. Lots of side missions to do too if you wanna build your character up!

This game is a nice change of pace. Every game released for the Xbox one has been sequels to another game, it's nice to see something new that has smooth, fun gameplay and wasn't release with 1000 bugs that needed patches. I am having a blast with this game!

If you like zombie games, get Dying Light. If you like role-playing first person action games with zombie mayhem, destructive weapons, scavenging for supplies, and the feeling of desolation, you're in luck with this game! As an obsessed fan of The Walking Dead, I have been interested in the zombie genre for many years. I've never played a good zombie apocalypse game, but I'm really loving this one! In Dying Light, the story is sort of lacking. I believe the side quests and random encounters are where the real fun is. You can even co-op through the game.
I've actually reached the final mission to fight the ultimate villain, but I will finish side quests in certain extra map areas because after game completion, these extra areas will become unavailable. You even get to see a warning pop-up before the final mission. That is one thing that I believe to be a negative.

I wasn't sure when I bought this game as no reviews were out yet but after finishing the game it was a great surprise. Very fun to play, great story and game play. Moving thru the city was loads of fun and creating items was limitless!
We happy with the results and glad I picked up!

The story was so so. But the Combat in this game really shines. The multi-player is spot on very challenging for both the survivors and the zombie. The open world is co-op from beginning to end. Which Is something I wish more game developers would do.
