Why Dying Light is a good game for TWD fans
If you wanna remove the bad taste that ANF left in your mouth, then Dying Light is the perfect Walking Dead game.
Granted, the story isn't the best. And there aren't that many choices, but still, the gameplay..
Oh baby..
..The GAMEPLAY
Imagine The Walking Dead, ok? Now imagine you're playing as the male version of Molly from TWD season 1. That's Dying Light.
Zombie killing feels realistic and meaty. You can bash their brains in or decapitate their limbs. You can roam around the world and do parkour, which is a plus. I know TWD doesn't have any parkour, but still, it's cool none the less.
Bandits have good AI for the most part. If there's more than 1 bandit they will try to flank you and distract you in order to kill you, and they will also throw weapons at you in order to damage you. You can also make bandits throw their hands up in the air if you point a gun at them. They will stop attacking you afterwards.
You can scavenge for loot and items. There are interesting side quests and activities to do. You can drive cars. (Only in the DLC, though.) And so much more.
You can even cover yourself in zombie guts to move through a horde of zombies untouched.
There are different types of zombies, and one of them are scary as fuck. The Volatiles.
Look at how intense this game can be at night.
Comments
I played Dying Light and I agree completely with OP. I strongly recommend to set it to hard mode to get the most of the game.
The following DLC killed it
killed it in a good way or bad?
I loved Dying Light but imo I wasn't satisfied with the ending.
you might be satisfied with the dlc's ending idk
You know, I completely forgot there was even DLC for the game. I haven't played it in so long!
Are there games very similar to Dying Light but where you can customize a character and give them a name if your choice? I prefer my own character over a random dude I just start playing as. Thanks if so lol
The DLC itself was good, but the ending was atrocitous which killed it in my opinion
You can customize your character's clothing but you can't customize the name.
You can make up your own name as your own head canon and your own looks because the entire game is in first person so you never see your own face. So you can pretty much just imagine your own story and your own character easily.
I really liked dying light although I never thought of it as a walking dead experience.
It does feel like a Walking Dead game at times.
Especially when you cover yourself with Walker blood in order to walk through a massive horde of zombies.
Do no characters refer to the main guy as his name or not?
Eh, that sounds rude but just know I'm just asking politely.
No, they just refer to him by his last name all the time.
Ah, yeah. This game has been on my wishlist-backlog for a while now. Too bad I had other priorities instead of it. I'm just waiting until it goes on sale again for a good price, then I'm getting it.
"Parkour? Zombies? Scavenging? YES."
Try State of Decay, too.
This game is amazing, I haven't played the DLC yet though.
Because they will both bore you to tears
The story, yes, but not the game itself.
