It's like Dead Island and Mirrors Edge combined. Open-world survival horror game with zombies, RPG elements, and first-person parkour mechanics? Give me two, please! I have already played 30+ hours and don't want to stop. The story is a bit cheezy, but I don't care because the gameplay makes up for it. Also, this game has really good side content. I often find myself doing side quests and activities for 3 hours straight or just running around town drop-kicking zombies off the roofs, and interacting with all the game systems Dying Light has in place. The gameplay feels repetitive occasionally, and when it happens, I usually take a break from the game for a day or two, but I'm always coming back. Overall it's a solid experience that no other game can deliver, other than maybe Dying Light 2, which I plan on playing in the future.
