The new area is a giant playground, rammed with zombies, crawling with worse, and littered with broken down vehicles. When he gets there, he discovers something which changes everything - cryptic much? That's all you're going to get. Lets face it, I'm not going to spoil the story for you, Kyle Crane - the hero, sets off to find out the truth behind a mysterious place he hears about from a dying man and a map. It's a huge addon to the base game, a whole new massive area which in terms of size is probably larger than Harran and Old Town. This isn't a review of Dying Light the base game though, packed with new challenges and loaded with extra content thanks to the additions and extra stuff from the Season Pass. Gain a Legend Level, drop a point into say: One Handed Weapons and you'll boost the damage, eventually you'll become a zombie slaying badass again - around Level 250. Dying Light just got real fun again, real fast. The hunters are vicious, they take you down fast and even the regular zombies are nasty. I went back to the Tower in Harran and waited until nightfall, setting out on my usual blase way to take on some zombies I soon found that night is back to being as scary as it was. A brief: What the Hell? thought followed and then Experiment A. A few more slices and I finally managed to take the bugger down, not before it'd ripped off at least a third of my health. Wait, this was a powerful melee weapon and the damn thing laughed it off. didn't fall down, it kind of staggered a bit. I'd got super powerful weapons, a load of stuff from my previous save and it all carried on. I started out with all my skill trees maxed, and since all you need to do to get into the Legend Levels is max one, I set out to kick ass and kill some zombies. Now there's Legend Levels to accrue and rather like Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition (Reaper of Souls) Paragon System you can spread points out into various categories as you level up. The changes to Dying Light altered all that, and I couldn't be happier. I didn't care if it went dark, I was max level, I was a GOD. At one point I was a zombie slaying badass during the day, and a whirlwind of volatile murder when the sun went down. Having extensively played Dying Light from the get-go, it's amazing to see the changes in action and to feel the atmosphere of the game shift at night. If you haven't played Dying Light yet, this is the best value for money too, because you're going to get the base game, the Season Pass, and the Following (which also comes as part of the Season Pass if you already own the thing). Without the Following, Dying Light is still a game worth playing, because the Enhanced Edition adds in a boatload of fixes, polish, new graphics, new animations, new challenges, and even more to the base experience. The result, Dying Light - The Following: Enhanced Edition. See, Techland have gotten into the same kind of vibe as CD Projeckt RED - they're into supporting their community and rewarding the feedback from countless gamers since Dying Light's release. and you're not the one doing the hunting. Well, Good Night, Good Hunt is the new motto. It sums up Dying Light in those few words, a game where the night was to be feared until you got to max level, maxed out all the skill trees and ended up with a badass flaming katana which could sever a volatile's head from its shoulders in seconds without you breaking a sweat. It's between me and the UV lights which promise safety and warmth through the night.Įver since I had my eyes on Dying Light, way back when it was first announced I loved Techlands marketing, and the one thing which stuck with me all the way through to the game's release and the countless hours I poured into Kyle Crane vs. I'm hunted across Old Town by a pack of howling flesh-ripping madness, claws inches from my back as I scramble, jump and grapple hook my way toward a safe haven. The guy shrugs off the first round, but the second and third find their mark - he drops, but the scream isn't from him. The volatiles, the zombies, they're all tougher somehow and the gun was the only thing I'd got which wasn't broken. I've just escaped from a pack of wandering feral zombies, my health's low, I've been doing this a long time and I thought I'd got this zone licked.įat chance now, something has changed. I knew I shouldn't have panicked - but what can you do, you round a corner and there's a dude in your face with a machete. It's my fault, I knew I shouldn't have squeezed off that round.
