Dying Light - The Following Review Thread

Excellent reviews, but it was to be expected. My GOTY last year, and have been looking forward to the new version with expansions, I'll happily repeat it.
And these reviews really right a wrong this game had been served upon launch (a 74 metascore). I still think reviewers were holding a grudge against Techland from the Dead Island days.

I have the base game on PC. No expansions. What do i need to do to get this? CD keys have it at £9.99. Is that all i need?
All you should need is the base game! So yeah you should be set.

Sorry, I mean the base game of Dying light. What do I need to buy to upgrade to the new version?
You need to buy Dying Light: The Following expansion only.
There's this graph, if it helps:
Why surprising? Dying Light was incredible so it only makes sense that the game size expansion with changes to the main game gets solid reviews
It's good to see it getting better review than the launch version - easily last years best hidden gem, and not sure why it scored so (relatively) poorly on release.
It's a shame that Ihave no interest in the expansion though - can't stand driving games, and the fact the main point of the expansion is a buggy to drive in really doesn't excite me at all.,

So my review isn't published yet, but while I enjoyed this, I had some conflicting feelings. The focus on driving is huge and thus getting around the map in a timely manner requires it. Which means expect to drive around A LOT. It's fun, but you won't get close to even making a dent in the skill tree for it by the time you finish. Also the parkour seems like way less of a focus now, which was half the fun in the original. It's still here but more segmented. I enjoyed the expansion, it's a great epilogue to the game with lots of new additions and enhancements to the core game. Just if you folks don't like the driving, they could end up feeling a bit dissapointed with how much it's a focus.

Rated it a Buy
A couple little issues here or there but ultimately exactly what I had hoped for. A return to form with an additional set of layers added that adjust the game enough to BE an expansion versus just some small changes. Also absolutely loved the gameplay loops.
Did notice that the GFX changes are very subtle and so many might expect something big and bombastic when it comes to the updates but thats not really how it works here.

For a game where the story was about how to get you to run around and kill things and thats about it? Nah your good brother. Thats sort of expected lol
