REVIEW: Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition

Synopsis:
RUN. DRIVE. SURVIVE. Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition takes parkour-fueled zombie survival to a whole new level. Enjoy the definitive Dying Light experience with the brand-new Legend system, improved visuals, major gameplay enhancements, and more. This package comes with all the available bonus content, including Dying Light: The Following - a massive story-based expansion that brings mysterious characters, deadly new weapons, unexpected quests, and fully customizable and drivable dirt buggies.

Review:
When I first loaded up Dying Light, I thought it would just be another open world Zombie game, but you soon realise it is so much more than that. The parkour element takes things to a completely new level.

Of course you still get to kill zombies, but you also get to set traps, search building for items you can use to craft new weapons, and as you progress through the games, the awkwardness at the beginning soon transfers into you racing along rooftops without a care in the world, well apart from the zombies below who want to eat your brains.

The game is much deeper than you first thing and the more you player and develop your character the more you get out of it.

With the various online modes, story points, challenges and so on, this is a game you will be playing for quite a while. And although it can be quite frustrating when you first start playing, as soon as you start to build up your character, that frustration soon turns into satisfying achievement when you unlock a new weapon, or figure out how to get to the point on the map you previously couldn't figure out.

Dying Light is a great game, and with the new content drops (see below) and new additions to the game, it can only get better.

I give this game a strong 8/10
