    Equipped baseball bat, cleared most of area, realized last 2 zombies were below me... Hit the hazmat zombie's gas tank and he flew wobbling into the air, knocked over the zombie next to him, and they both exploded. Laughed so much. 4/5 (-1 for some performance issues)

    The movement in this game feels great, and smashing zombies is always enjoyable. There are a few glitches here and there, and the game seems poorly optimized - with that said I'm still having a blast. When the issues get patched, this will be a 5/5 game for me. The plot is a little weak, but I'd suggest a different genre of game if you're looking for a thought provoking game. Make sure to do most of your activities at night time - that is when the game truly shines.

    Had to build a new computer to play this game, well that was my excuse for building a new computer as it was long overdue. Great game....fun, exciting, especially at night. The controls were easy enough to pick up and I really enjoyed the feeling for free reign throughout the game. Also, I highly recommend checking out the play as the night zombie once the game is complete.

    If you appreciate really great graphics Dying Light delivers however the threat of running from slow zombies or impossibly fast nightmare zombies at night doesn't really make for awesome gameplay. Since he bonus for playing at night helps you level it's silly not to play at night for the most part and that gets boring. All in all I'm glad I got this one on sale.

    PC ports aren't always good. This is a quality port. The game does suffer from some FPS drops that I'm guessing will get patched to resolve because they happen at weird times - not necessarily during hard to render scenes. Overall the game is an improvement over there last foray into this genre (Dead Island). I would recommend this game on PC.

    This game looks amazing, it's unlike any other zombie game I have ever played. It's definitely in its own category. The co-op is a blast with friends. Out of all the games I have ever played that sticks to memory, Zelda,Mario kart, halo, uncharted, old duke nukem, Conker...this game makes the list, and to be a multiplat is even more surprising.

    Great game. Fun. Typical poor performance out of the gate. On crossfire HD7970 system it locks the whole system and needs a cold restart. On single R9 290X runs between 24 and 45 FPS, still needs major optimization.. Deserves 5 stars when performance issues gets worked out. Splendidly fun playing with friends.

    With an excellent parkour system and the classic zombie bashing I've always loved, Dying Light is a big improvement over Dead Island, which I actually enjoyed overall. The graphics engine and polish on this entry shows that Techland can refine the open zombie brawling genre and I'm sure future entries will get better.

    This game is a ton of fun, has great multiplayer and ideas put into it to make a fine current gen experience. Beating down on zombies does get slightly boring after a while, and a few missions are very fetch quest-y, but other than that it's a great game, would recommend.

    Very good open world game. I like the sandbox approach and it creates opportunity for lot's of exploring (which you will need to do to collect parts and level up points to play the harder story based missions). I like the idea of the night time and how it changes the game play.

    Nothing exactly wrong with this product, game is fantastic, just the pc version had some issues at launch with performance, they are currently hopefully being fixed. Would of gotten a 5 star from me if it didn't have these issues

    This game is like if Dead Island Met WWE Met GTA 5. Its fun to run around and drop kick zombies off buildings. I'm not really even playing much story line, just mostly wandering around doing side missions and messing things up.

    This game is a very good game. The story is alright but the mirrors edge feel is very present. It is also a good game to people that like hack and slash games. I am also very impressed with the crafting system that they use.
