Just playing through Dying Light again it’s a good solid B+ title.

But what pushes it to great and easy to recommend is the Following DLC which, instead of being more city-bound parkour based gameplay it throws you into the countryside with a vehicle. Almost like a new game in itself.

    I played it for about 20 hours, which for me took several weeks. I enjoyed it, but mostly played in the daytime unless something particular required me to go out at night. I like my zombies like I like my coffee, slow and defenseless against me.

    When Dying Light 2 was promoted as having hundreds of hours of content, that was just a big turn off for me. Having said that, once it has been out for a couple years and I can pick it up for $10 like I did the first dying light, I wouldn’t be against buying it and playing for the first 20 hours.

      I may have been a bit impatient compared to most, but I can say Dying Light 2 is pretty good in terms of content - I’m currently playing through it right now as my active evening activity (waited for the first sale then grabbed it.)

      But I also like the “ohshitohshitohshit” running aspect of the first one at night, and the second one continues it. So if that’s not your thing then definitely wait for it to become quite cheap.

    I have that one sitting in my library for ages. Saw your post, asked my friend if we should give it a shot, installing now :).

    I spent hundreds of hours in that game (before and after I bought it on steam) I love it. Was difficult to get in Germany though.

    I just started The Following co-op last night. It reminds me of Dying Light mixed with Far Cry 5; instead of The Father and his cult you have The Mother and her cult. Farms, tractors, mountains, fields, a lot of similarities. Gunplay is better in Far Cry, melee and parkour are better in Dying Light. Grappling hook is the best. We are having fun so far but the volatiles are ridiculously hard when there are more than 2 or 3.

      I’m definitely in the play mostly on daytime in the game camp, creeping into the lairs though in the following - thats fun.

    I personally love this Game for its Gameplay and replay some parts of it.

    If you now think to buy DL2 befire you buy it see current Gameplay of it.

    The Atmosphere is not as strong as in the first part.
