Dying Light: 8 Years Later… (2024 Review)

Happiness is starting and playing Dying Light every year. One does not speedrun such a game. One simply enjoys every second of it.

Not gonna lie, the Volatiles scared me so badly that the first time I ever killed one was because I was flailing desperately out of fear

DL1 is hands down one of my all time favorite games, regardless of genre. It nailed so many things, but it's especially the fantastic ambiance that made exploring such a great experience, day or night.

Dying Light is a really awesome game, if you haven't played yet, it's time; you going to love it! On the side note: OniZombies captured the best moments in his video, I got goosebumps all the way to the end of the video! Great video!

I like playing at night 😅

The night isn't so scary once you know the enemy. Water is 100% safe, and diving can throw off chasing volatiles. The gunplay is... not great, though. Even when fighting gun-using enemies, I prefer to pelt them with grenades, use stealth, and carve 'em up quick with one of the short blades.

Its my one of favorites game

Fun fact about the night time it was so scary and difficult techland had to nerf the night a lot it used to be terrifying back then now,it is just very scary

DL 1 is GOAT.

16 year old you? How old are you?

Uugh god seeing MGS:S makes be so fuckin' sad and angry, the super troops (I can't remember the name, just the mission Lingua Franca pops into my head) from 5 are cool as hell but Survive just absolutely ruined them. Same goes with R6S's Outbreak event for Op: Chimera, it was so damn cool with the creature design and all that just needed more story, but what's that? Here comes Extraction to completely do a 180 and die withing a week completely trashing that idea.

Wow those endings are fing stupid. Glad I saw this video before I spent time playing the game only to be pissed off at the end.

FORGET F.E.A.R. FORGET FUCKING DEAD SPACE,

DYING LIGHT AT NIGHT IS LITERALLY, THE MOST FUCKING TERRIFYING SHIT I HAVE EVER WITNESSED IN A NON-HORROR GAME!

I LITERALLY ALMOST PISSED MYSELF WHE I HEARD THE SCRFEAMS OF THE VOLATILES! 😭

All I hear when I play this game is Chris redfield and that's not a bad thing

Fun Fact: A particular game with possibly the best parkour mechanics in the history of gaming YET, known as Mirror's edge, inspired Dying light with its movement system.

I bought DL this week and at first the night time scares me alot. But as time progressed and I've gotten used to the parkour aspect of the game, night-time has turned into fun running time for me. Sometimes I deliberately get seen by volatiles just to get that rush of running away from them, it's amazing.

Parkour in a field, more like Parcorn. I apologise for nothing.

My first time playing the Airdrop mission was the day I turned from a boy into a man. I was 14 at the time. I just made it into a building and lost the chase, hid in the building for a little bit until I built up the courage to head to the tower again. Nearly as soon as I left the house, a volatile spotted me. They almost got me, bought me down to 1hp, but I saw the purple lights getting closer. I finally got back to the tower full of adrenaline, knowing that I had just grown up and that I could do anything. For those of you wondering, dying light is my first new gen (at the time) horror game. Techland changed gaming in my eyes forever.

Seemed kinda janky when I played the demo back in the day. I’ve been thinking about picking it up though to get through this horrible year of gaming
Lol

Bros not a prokoo pro he's a prokoo god

DL1's first night traumatized me so bad that I actively avoid night in OTHER games.

I loved dying light 1 so much that I think I bought it 6 times I bought it launch with season pass bought it for Xbox and played there and bought it for two different friends then I bought the dying light digital edition when it was on sale for ps plus

Dying light one was so great compared to the second I loved the terrifying aspect of it not to mention fighting the night hunter was my favorite beat them so bad they ragequit plus the Easter eggs were more fun in my opinion DL 2 just feels more boring like nothing real big that gets me afraid happens in DL2 like fighting the nighthunter

I’ll never forget the time my dad took me to Walmart and bought me dying light

Both these games so under appreciated

The skill trees... I like them. Other games dot his where they fill up the skill tree with inaignificant stuff like +0,3% increase in damage, but dying light... Everything is a new skill, not a little buff to a kick, but a dropkick, not a damage increae for heavy weapons, but a heavy slam, they are actual SKILLS.

Honestly the fight with Rais was underwhelming... The mission just uses enemies before you just do whick time events

I hate night time not because of the scare, but i generally hate dark games. It's like that little siblings who like to prank you by covering the monitor screen. It's an excuse to make the player felt disadvantageous. It always irks me to no end.

man back in the day when I don't have any other way to level up my parkour skills, i have to venture the night packed with A LOT OF FLARES and fFIRECRACKERS just to get those x2 exp in the night.

this game was so magical to me and the very first ever single story game that I've finished. i still play the game on steam PC cause i like playing with random players cause they suddenly drop/give you GODLIKE shotguns that have infinite ammo

Just got the definitive version for £10! Dying light 2 was a disappointment to me so I'm happy to give the first game a re-run!

The details i love in the game is that during the night if your on antennas in the slums or high ground you will notice the city lights slowly turn on outside of the quarinteen zone and after a bit it is fully lighted up like cities in the real world and the second ome is that the viral that recently turned they have a shed of humanity have low power aginist the virus and have to watch a bit of what happens until you fully loose humanity then fully turn into a viral is just brutal like imagine you get bit and turned 3 minutes ago then you can still see whats happening but have absolutely no power and you watch as you start eating a person and cry inside and sometimes when you hit a recently turned viral they show signs of humanity left begging to not kill them yelling NO PLEASE NO NO and then in less then 4 seconds the virus immediatly takes back control shows the true brutalness of what an actual zombie acpocolypes wpuld be like no badass stuff only pure terror and fear if the harran virus becomes real we would experience the true horrors i love that techland always shows the true brutal and horrifying nature of an apocolypse.

Worst video game ever made. Completely broken mess. The worst climbing mechanic ever made. Bad level design, dreadful controls, random infinite spawning zombies even in locked room. Its unfun. If cancer was a game it would be Dying Light 1/100

dying light night time got me affraid of the dark as a kid

European? You mean middle eastern?

Place❌️ pwace✅️

Your videos r well made i enjoy them

I got Xbox points, got the game, all dlcs, add ons, weapons etc for free. It's still really good and loads to play.

To be fair it’s hard to draw out a fight between two people as a ‘boss fight’ and it not feel silly. Otherwise it would be like dead island where the cliche bad guy mutants so you get a big set piece boss.

One thing I didn’t like about dying light 2 is that everything cool introduced in the following (mystery, car, etc) all get dumped into the bin

The first night was scary.
But what rly made nighttime scary for an rly long time
was not knowing if u can even fight back at all.
If they are invincible we would have an problem.
But not knowing means fear of fighting an losing battle if we are not fast enough.

Let’s just say this.

I don’t even like most zombie stuff, but Dying Light is one of the best game I’ve ever played. These aren’t nostalgia goggles because I started playing a few weeks ago.

Currently playing DL2, and Im not in a camp that thinks its a bad game. I still love DL2 too, but definitely will play DL1 again after completing this.

What you have to fight them?

Just bought this and started it on 1st November 2024.

Honestly to this day I still play the first dying light and I've actually come to Really enjoy and appreciate the second one now but even when I Go back to the first 1 it's just nerve-racking being out at night and hearing those screams of The Zombies as they get aggravated for some unknown reason and Then vol tiles just start showing up and chase you all Over the place. It is why I will always love dying light one and I think it is without a doubt the best zombie game.
