If you draw more than 3-4 standard enemies at once, you’re better off just pulling back and parkour-ing your way onto a rooftop for some relief. This also provides a pretty effective alternative to combat encounters. You can bound from one rooftop to another, scale the sides of buildings and jump over crowds of zombies, effectively playing a giant game of “The Floor is Lava”, except instead of Lava, it’s flesh-eating zombies that’ll bite your face off. This makes traversing Dying Light’s open world incredibly fast, smooth and fun. Gameplay-wise, Dying Light is what would happen if you combined Dead Island’s combat, crafting, environment design and overall art direction with the parkour/free-running mechanics and level verticality of Mirror’s Edge. Without wishing to spoil anything further, the game’s world opens up very similarly to Dead Island and the game’s overall plot isn’t much to write home about it’s perfectly satisfactory, but you’ll probably guess where the story is going by the time you hit the half way mark. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Rais screws over Crane, which leads to him and “The Tower” survivors to find other means of survival while trying to formulate some kind of rescue plan. Rais seemingly agrees to allow Crane to help him, leading Crane to being forced into carrying out some morally questionable tasks around the city. However the situation at “The Tower” turns desperate and Crane finds himself needing to strike a deal with Rais for some crates of “antizin”, a drug that suppresses the zombie infection. Indebted to his rescuers in “The Tower”, Crane offers to help them by carrying out various missions to help improve their overall safety such as repairing light traps, electric traps and car traps, as well as various quality of life improvements.
They serve as the “good guy” faction whereas the other faction is run by a savage and ruthless warlord know as Rais. Crane is saved by a few members of a survivor camp know as “The Tower”. The air drop goes off the rails, slightly, and Crane finds himself being attacked by a group of thugs and then by a recently turned, ravenous zombie known as a “Viral” who turns Crane’s forearm into hamburger meat. You play as Kyle Crane, a GRE operative who is air dropped into the city of Harran in order to recover a highly classified file from a local politician who has gone rogue after a quarantine was issued for the city. I’m not sure why I stopped playing and I’m not sure what the impetus was for me picking it back up again roughly 4 years later, but ultimately, I’m glad I did play and finish this game. I remember initially picking up Dying Light almost a year after it’s release, logging about a dozen hours worth of gameplay and then… just kind of stopping.
