Makes you vocalize higher notes than you thought you were capable of.

The Dark Souls of First Person Shooters.

Soundpad is unofficial DLC for this game.

Before downloading this magnificent game I was under the impression that it was a mere simulator of running around on a wet field of grass, throwing rocks at another man who is just as plump as you. After getting my hands on this my eyes were opened along with a third eye, and I understood the true beauty dwelling inside this hell of a creation, or should I say heaven? It is exactly that. a game where you tread the grass as an absolute unit in a diaper, and use your immense strength to carry and throw two boulders which you use to topple another titan. What more could man want in his life? Paunch is a miracle brought to the mortal world from a greater place, beyond. This is the limit of human comprehension of reality. This is the pinnacle of indie gaming industry. This is Paunch.

The best game in the franchise, the actual masterpiece of Visceral Games, and a true classic. Still one of the most playable "older" games in 2020. Dead Space 2 is the true combination of horror, disturbance, isolation, and being badass - or in other words; an engineer who is really angry at the mutated corpses he has to mow through.
+ DS2 is the most improved sequel over an original game that I have seen in the video game industry, yet. Dead Space was something, but this game... is just amazing.

R.I.P Visceral Games. Murdered by EA.
I hope Sunscorched Studios has something promising for all the DS fans it's going to adopt.

My review now... a little over 4 years later:
Dying Light is surprisingly still holding up a fairly big playerbase for a game of it's release time. If you've got good connection, finding matches shouldn't be a problem. (The game is peer-to-peer, by the way. Which does take away a slight bit of the good PVP experience. And I should say a few things about the... PVP gamemode - Be The Zombie / Invasions
It is a typical monster versus survivors gamemode, from 1vs1 to 1vs4 players. But made in Dying Light's own, unique setting. It is not newbie friendly, but once you get the hang of it. The fun will last for a while. And if you're the type of person who likes rather challenging pvp, you'll probably be coming back a lot. While the people who give up easily might try the gamemode and quit forever. It's just the way it is. And there is one important thing about it, that I need to mention, and it's that currently (during spring 2020) the PVP mode is being updated to the best version of itself, yet. And the cheater infestation is finally going to get eradicated (Balance, finally!)

Next I will need to talk about the offline aspect of the game, which was what originally brought me into it... based on the gameplay I saw back then it looked like an interesting game where you could free roam and explore a slum city, an old town and a countryside wrecked by a zombie outbreak.
And the truth is, it is like that... for the most part. But that's not the main focus of the game. Every place and building isn't as accessible but you'd be surprised by how many places you can actually get into.
What Dying Light is really made of, is the best first person parkour I have seen yet, satisfying but not extremely advanced melee combat, wonderfully brutal ways to slice your enemies apart (infected or not), and some very neat world building (main storyline is commonly called cliche but most quests in the game are side quests, some of them are simple fetch quests but the rest have rather intriguing aspects to them, and you'll learn more about the world through them than the main storyline, to be honest.), and lastly but not least, the leveling system should keep you interested for a bit, you'll get to progressively unlock parkour and survivor skills through gaining experience. (You'll get everything in the end.)
And by the way, the game has one of the best executed day/night cycles, which really turns the tables when it comes to who is being hunted, you, or the infected.

In the beginning there are just so many things to do you'll get easily overwhelmed, but once you've completed New Game +, and also when you've completed the amazing expansion pack "The Following", you'll probably find the game quite dull at that point. And that's sadly the truth, Dying Light is not very replayable. The first experience of it all is definitely worth the money, but in order to find something to keep you there...
Rather than to keep mindlessly slashing at AI zombies, most people either start playing PVP, or join the quite active speedrunning community, or perhaps... start creating custom maps with developer tools, which is a special treat of a program for DL owners on PC. You're basically given the tools to recreate any part of the actual game yourself. Takes some time to understand how it works, though. There are some seriously good custom maps that talented creators have made and ironically, they give the game lots of replayability through the community's effort rather than the developers'.

Although some people have a lot of things to complain about, most of them still play the game.
I would say Dying Light is a pretty good game.
just "pretty", though. :steammocking:
