There’s a single coastal town that’s interesting to explore, but it factors into maybe three quests at most.īy trading its core hook for a far more pedestrian open-world experience, The Following suffers. The Following trades that for a buggy and mostly giant open fields, all straight out of Far Cry. Escaping the more dangerous “volatile” zombies is best achieved with clever navigation. A clear line of sight is a rare blessing. Though the controls have aged a bit, Dying Light remains a novel experience, not due to first-person zombie bashing’n’slashing, but rather its verticality.Įxisting in a truly 3D space that you can fully harness changes everything.

The challenge of Dying Light: The Following is it’s trying to follow up one of the best open-world urban exploration games in years. So, of course, you parkour your ass over there and find there’s some mysterious cult allegedly achieving these wonders. Rumor carried by a dying smuggler reveals that someone has allegedly found a way to stop the virus from infecting farmers in a neighboring farm valley just outside the city. With Antizen drops stopping and more citizens falling to the “Harran Virus,” time is running out for Kyle’s friends in the city.
URBAN EXPLORER DYING LIGHT FREE
Set after the events of the main game and its other extensive free and paid DLC mini-expansions, The Following sees protagonist Kyle Crane seeking a cure. Maybe it fills a gap in the original campaign’s story or offers a new protagonist’s perspective, but these narratives rarely matter. Normally when a game like this receives an actual expansion pack, it’s some standalone experience. However, Dying Light: The Following already exists, and that story expansion seems to make a sequel… unnecessary? Or maybe The Following itself is unnecessary?

If You Want Harder Nights And Enemies Then The Hard Mode In Dying Light Is Just Right For Youĭying Light's hard mode patch adds quite a bit more than just what the name implies, first of all it makes the game harder ( you don't say?), the nights are longer, you do not see the 'Volatile' zombies on the minimap and now healing and stamina regenerates at a much slower rate. Both of these will be out tomorrow for Europe. And with the new patch a new piece of DLC is also released, titled The Ultimate Survivor Bundle. The patch itself brings a new difficulty setting as the name implies, as well as a couple of new weapons and a new tier of rarity for the weapons.
