A very addicting gameplay loop. Combat is satisfying and the parkour mechanics are implemented very well. I've done pretty much everything available in the game, yet I'm still never bored with it. The maps are geared towards utilizing the abilities you're given, and there are so many playstyles available to experiment with. Additionally, the day/night cycle in this game is brilliantly unique and genuinely created a stressful, horrific atmosphere that complemented the tone of the game.

However, I do have some gripes aside from the gameplay itself. For instance, a few of the main missions felt out of place, and the level design in some were somewhat lackluster. Plus, pretty much every side quest is a fetch quest, making the narratives feel very redundant even though the core gameplay remained enjoyable. Along with this, the story is just cliche after cliche told in a superfluous manner. That being said, I don't think people play zombie games looking for a good story, but it did lower my opinion nevertheless.

Even with the flaws I think it has, I still loved playing Dying Light and will definitely recommend it to anyone interested.
