A rhythm adventure game with cute birbs and animations. While some gameplay mechanics couldve been better (randomization of certain rhythm sections) it is still a nice and charming game.

I LOVE Dead Island, so much I was skeptical about getting Dying Light even though it was from the same company. A zombie RPG is fantastic fun but I didn't know how well it would work in a city versus a moody tropical island.
Now I've played it and Dying Light is like Dead Island on steroids. Everything good is still there (except the ability to throw weapons which I miss) but there are also additions which really make it all the more fun. The parkour system is incredible! If you've ever wanted to play 'the floor is lava' with zombies, this is your game.
You can know build and repair items anywhere, not just at repair stations. You can fight humans as well as zombies. There's more to explore, more to do, more people to meet. An excellent upgrade in graphics too with a lot of nifty lighting effects.
It takes a heft rig to run this game, but it's worth it.
The DLC is a little silly, but the main game is solid!

I loved the atmosphere, the story, the characters, the choices...this game had it all!
It only dropped the ball for me at the 'quick time events' that requires a series of button presses at certain moments to accomplish things. This system only obscured what was going on (because you're looking at the buttons instead of the game), arbitrarily makes you fail some tasks of have to restart, and the buttons pressed themselves have very little to do with what's going on.
A beautiful, moody detective thriller with a supernatural twist would have been excellent. I guess I just have to 'git gud' at all those darn button presses....

Decent and simple action adventure games. Will likely not appeal to more season players but younger children could still enjoy it.
Nvidia inspector and dgvoodoo can help in making the visuals look cleaner.

This is another great Griddlers game for people who don't mind taking their time, considering alternatives and making deliberate decisions. This is a thinking game, not an action game, but it is challenging and rewarding without making the player tense up. It is relaxing, but challenging.
