Dying Light - Review
Dying Light is a 2015 survival horror video game developed by Polish video game developer Techland and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The game revolves around an undercover operative sent to infiltrate a
quarantine zone in a fictional city. It features a zombie-infested,
open-world metropolis with a dynamic day and night cycle. It was
originally planned to release in 2014, but was pushed back to 2015.
Multiplayer
Online multiplayer features up to 4 players in the co-op mode. The game offers an asymmetrical multiplayer feature.
There's a game mode known as "Be the Zombie" that allows the player to
play as a zombie and join other players' worlds. At EGX 2014, lead game
designer Maciej Binkowski revealed that there will be challenges
throughout the world for players to engage in for experience. Two
challenges were showcased with one being a fight to kill as many zombies
as possible and the other being a race to an airdrop.
Setting
Players assume the role of Kyle Crane (Roger Craig Smith), an undercover operative sent to infiltrate the quarantine zone in the fictional city of Harran, based off ancient Turkey, as his mission is to find Kadir "Rais" Suleiman (Jim Pirri),
a political figure gone rogue who has a file that could destroy the
reputation of his agency. But when he arrives, he must decide between
completing his mission or helping the other survivors, who are being led
by Harris Brecken (Matthew Wolf). Watch as the rules that govern civilization crumble to dust.
