This is such a good expansion to Dying Light and in some cases I prefer it to the original map and story. If you enjoyed Dying Light, this is an absolute must play through.
The story picks up right where you left off in Dying Light and you enter the farmlands outside of the city. All the quests tie in with progression, which as an achievement hunter, was kind of awkward. I advanced my level beyond the story by doing every side quest and event before the story-line, which meant that I had a higher faction reputation than what the story would suggest. This storyline gives a new mystery and conclusion to a zombie story - but not the zombie story. It's really interesting, and somewhat spoiled if you're following Dying Light 2 news. So dig into this first.
I really love farm maps in any game I play, which means I love this one a lot. I understand how it can be frustrating, because it's a flat open land where you will try to evade some zombie pursuits. I'm in New Game+ and infected will spawn randomly in the distance every 3-5 minutes, making it difficult to walk around and force me to drive. The driving is very nice though, the buggy feels better as it upgrades as well as very vulnerable, which is important in a zombie game.
Some minor gameplay tweaks were added that make sense for this kind of level. No new additions of zombie types, unfortunately, but they change some interactions, which is necessary considering you're driving most of this game.
The Following is really a change of scenery in the most-part. If you liked the base-game, this is essentially more of that with a vehicle and new terrain. Both of those things are awesome.
