The verdict
A big open-world zombie parkour game with excellent movement and fun combat, but a weak story, bugs, and a recently cut prologue. Skip it if you expect a Dying Light 1 successor.
Great for
Parkour fans and co-op players who want a big zombie sandbox and can overlook a weak story
Main risk
Weak story, lingering bugs and the removed prologue make it feel like a downgrade from Dying Light 1
What changed in the last 30 days
156 recent reviews
Many recent negative reviews cite the 1.28 update that cut the prologue and Spike, plus microtransaction/UI changes and persistent bugs. Fairly confident this drives the dip.
