Playing dying light now I really don’t think it’s anything special. Would probably rate a 6.5/10. My reasons why:
Combat is very basic and clunky fighting humans is torture they just block everything yet you can’t block? Only dodge.
Parkour can be clunky at times but overall the best aspect of the game
Story is decent but nothing amazing
Characters aren’t interesting really
The inventory layout is awful having to scroll through everything it should be sub sectioned into categories
Facial animations are bad especially for the time it was released, in some dialogue have even had black patches come up on npc’s faces where the skin isn’t designed correctly
You can’t tell when zombies are dead as they get up off the ground quite often in combat so I know in the second game there are health bars which is easier.
It’s a very meh game for me, the second one looks better but the first game has put me off buying the second one for sure
