Dying Light Review
When it gets dark you know it’s time to run!
What happens when you make a game which comprises of zombies, free running, wall climbing, weapon crafting and an open world? You end up with Dying Light. From playing the first few hours of the game, you might get the idea that this is just another zombie game. But as you progress deeper into the game it grows on you and you will be hooked. This Dying Light review is aimed at bringing the game to the people. Get ready to run!
The story basically starts with the protagonist, Kyle Crane, who is an undercover agent sent to retrieve a file from a rogue politician, Kadir Suleiman, known as ‘Rais’, that can possibly tarnish his agency’s, GRE’s, reputation. Suleiman is using this file …show more content…

Initially, Kyle’s primary objective was to retrieve the file from Rais. But he can’t retrieve it unless he does something for him, which he is obviously not fond of. And there, are the survivors who look up to him, in the hope of getting Antizin and possibly a cure. Who will her serve? Rais, the survivors or the GRE?
Gameplay
The USP of Dying Light gameplay is definitely the dynamic day and night cycle. According to the developers, the day lasts for 64 minutes, while the night lasts for a mere 7 minutes. Even though this is a bit less, the excitement that you get while playing 64 minutes in the daytime will be achieved in less than 7 minutes during the night time.
The lighting of the game also deserves a special mention and you can clearly see from the screenshots, how well the lighting is done.
What I didn’t like
Even though the game is beautifully made, it has its share of cons. The weapons’ durability is a major issue and is quite frequent. There will be situations where you are attacking hordes of zombies and your weapon suddenly decides to stop functioning. And then you will have to hold ‘R’ for repairing it and by the time you are done, you will probably be …show more content…

The missions can be a bit boring and you feel like it has been added just to extend the gameplay. The characters, too, don’t have much depth like the ones in Far Cry or Assassins Creed.
Conclusion
Dying Light is the best survival horror game of 2015 without a doubt. Apart from a few negatives, the game excels in almost all other aspects. The day and night cycle, ability to craft tons of weapons, parkour and the beautiful open world makes it a must play for any gamer. I rate it 8 out of 10. Dying Light is available on Steam for 20.39$ which is a fair price for such an amazing game.
Techland, the publishers of the game, is also releasing a DLC package in February 2016, titled Dying Light – The Following – Enhanced Edition. This new DLC brings a lot to the table like legendary player levels, drivable and customizable buggies, new weapons, side quests and a few mysterious characters. Drivable and Customizable buggies
That is the end of the Dying Light review. What do you think of this game and how many times did you go out at night in the game? Leave your answers in the comments section

1. In my opinion, I like how death is the main character. I also like how he tells the story, and how he talks about his experiences. Death gives the impression of a caregiver, rather than a taker of souls.

Before the sun is up, a woman is scrambling around her house, searching for a clean dress to wear. It has not rained the last few days, so she has had to cut her shower to only three minutes and hasn’t been able to do the laundry that has started to pile up. The woman finds the proper outfit — a blue, floor-length dress and a white bonnet that she ties under her chin. She peeks out of her bedroom window, the first burst of sunlight now streaking across the black water.

When humans are surrounded in an endless chasm of darkness, they find it necessary to grasp onto whatever dim hope may be near them. They find it necessary to set their minds onto a mission or action, however feasible or relevant, and turn all thoughts away from death or despair. Light and dark are words commonly thrown about, usually to describe gradients of color. But humans need light in the sense of comfort, a way out, or the promise of salvation. They have to find this light in life, to turn away from the darkness.

Darkness can be a comfortable place for anyone. Without having to look at yourself or have people see you, one may not feel as judged or insecure. Light is revealing. In a bright room, you can’t hide tears, blemishes, or emotions. Blanche, from A Streetcar Named Desire, knows the pain of light all to well.

This can be attributed to it being a “Metal Gear game for everyone”, likely targeting all gamers, not just hardcore fans of the franchise. Quite honestly, it’s hard to immerse yourself into a game without knowing much of the story, right? Moreover, some of the missions you do aren’t related to the story. The backdrop and setting is mostly on the Afghan desert (see Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the mid 1980s) and the Angola-Zaire (now DR Congo) border. The plot takes a backseat in this installment to make way for the gameplay, which is

In middle of a swamp forest called "The Mourning Bog”. A tall figure covered in rags walked through pulling a thick chain attached to something which looked like a coffin and was 15 feet long, 6 feet wide and 7 feet above swamp water with rest of it submersed in the murky water. He stopped for a moment and looked around as barely any sunlight came through emitting some areas while the rest of the area was pitch black at some places. He could see everything using his robotic eyes which make him awkwardly smile inside because it is at times like this he feels grateful for losing his organs and having them replaced! "Don't stop now Captain!"Celine said projecting herself in front of him wearing some sort of tracking clothes in his view "If we keep going at this rate we should reach our destination in about 5 hours!"Celine said as Razael looked around seeing several heat signatures counting up to 43...they are generally

In my descriptive piece, my character stays out in the open streets until the sun starts to set and the night sky starts to spread. And once the character makes their way to the alley, it becomes so dark that they can barely tell when their eyes are closed while possibly being chased, giving the impression of being in an obviously unsafe environment in the dark, therefore connecting with my title. I made the title a bit of a ‘show-it-don’t-tell-it’ type where it is actually much deeper than it lets on. The darkness links with my idea of contrast in the first paragraph, “The earth that bares no life at all is dull under the few glares of the sun that tries to fight its way through the black barriers that doom our city.”
