>>1482839To expound, Dying Light had good parkour mechanics, and the zombies (especially the night-time ones) actually made for a decent threat up until you're nearly done with the game and have enough perks/items to play around with them. Combat-wise the primary focus is on melee combat, and it shows because the gunplay is fucking terrible. You can get through most of the game melee only, but the human enemies (most of which are from the story, but there's a handful of open-world encounters) require you to either stealth through it or otherwise pull out a gun. As for the story, it's generic at best, and pretty tedious throughout, more of an afterthought compared to the rest of the game.
Multiplayer-wise, you can have 4 people hopping around doing missions, and there's a multiplayer mode where a fifth can control a zombie and try to hunt players down.
tl;dr, solid early-midgame, falls off lategame, story is meh.
Dead Island still a shit though.
