<\/a>Dying Light<\/p><\/div>\n
So, what are the real hooks of Dying Light?<\/h3>\n
Well, for one it truly is an open-world experience, and everything that happens in between accepting and completing missions makes Dying Light a joy to play.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the unique free-running abilities of the character, you do have the free-rein to scale, vault and navigate your way over, under and around just about anything in the game world.<\/p>\n
Clambering up walls while the undead snap at your heels is a fantastic rush. You\u2019ll have to use melee weapons to get you through the tough situations, and while you can get firearms, your real weapon is your agility and speed \u2013 and you\u2019ll need to remember this.<\/p>\n
You see, the game has a real-time day-and-night cycle, so in the day, things are a pretty standard zombie-fare. The undead clammer towards you and are alright in ones or twos, but if they surround you, your life expectancy meets that of an ice-cube in the Karoo.<\/p>\n
But at night is when the real danger emerges. You\u2019ve got to keep an eye on the sun, as when it sets, a whole bunch of other creepy creatures\u00a0that like killing things come out to play.<\/p>\n
The hunter is a mutated zombie\u2026 thing, that can chase you up buildings, over walls and just about everywhere.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no use in fighting them, so it basically becomes a terrifying cat-and-mouse game where you have to run for your life until you get to a safe zone or home base.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the safe zones, they\u2019re essentially like the radio towers in Far Cry 4.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re spread across the map and require you to \u201cliberate\u201d them, so to speak \u2013 basically kill everything and turn the power on. After that, you\u2019ve got a new hiding spot when the hunters come after you, or if you want to store some of your inventory.<\/p>\n
Picking up derelict objects is no collection-game, but rather a tactical strategy. Items can be crafted to make weapons, bombs or usable tools, such as lock-picks or throwing stars.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a great sense of scavenging and risk-reward, as you\u2019ll have to decide whether to use your alcohol to make a Molotov cocktail or medkit.<\/p>\n

With all that said, the real star of the show is the city of Harran \u2013 it\u2019s dense, broken yet beautiful, and full of interesting areas to explore. And it acts as the concrete playground of death in Dying Light.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard not to commend Techland on the innovation and ideas brought to the setting of the game.<\/p>\n
So, you\u2019re asking yourself: “Should I buy Dying Light?”.<\/p>\n
The answer is another question: “Do you enjoy Rambo movies, George Romero-esque zombie flicks, and\u00a0drop-kicking zombies into spikes?”<\/p>\n
If the answer to these questions is yes, you\u2019re probably already on your way to the store.<\/p>\n
