Dying light is one of those games that I’ve always said I loved, but I couldn’t tell you a thing about the story. Also that first time when you’re stuck outside at night is one of the most iconic moments in any game

I love Zombie games, but they all get debunked with the human anatomy of rotting corpses decay along with all the diseases running ramped from rotting flesh that would kill the living eventually.
Love how the game makes you feel deeply isolated... remember the first week of lockdown in 2020. Watching the empty streets reminded me of the game. The game sound effects, original sound track, the game dynamic, the immersive experience. This is one of the best games I've ever played!
i feel that man! Right before lockdown, I live in hawaii and its crazy how everyone was going about their day and I was on my way to meet my girlfriend. I was on the bus and watching the news there has been reports that covid in hawaii but doctors denied so there wouldn’t be any panic. I looked at everyone around me and out the window. I was sitting in the back if the bus so I had a full view. I felt I was in a movie of a zombie apocalypse the first few weeks before the outbreak. What a year Haha
Same here. Bustling city became deserted. It had the eerie feeling of apocalypse and i stockpiled on tons of stuff before lockdown like before sundown in DL1
I remember the first time I tried fighting a Volatile I dropkicked it and it did nothing. That was the third most terrifying moment in the game for me, followed by every time there was a Volatile chase in the story
And personally I prefer how Dying Light 2 did the grappling hook. It's like I'm batman swooshing to the rooftops but Anorexic Spider-Man swinging around. Instead pulling myself like Scorpion on steroids
Was playinb with a friend and after shitting myself in the first story night time part, he told me volatiles are weak to shotguns. The fear i felt when i shot 6 bullets into a volatile only for it to stumble back a little, then lunge at me was unreal. Volatiles were so well done
I always remember the be the zombie was much fun and scary at the same time but the gameplay is spot on I love the mechanics it was built and the environment was amazing story was excellent and sad at the same time but overall still play it to this day
One time when my sister and brother-in-law came over to my house, I showed them the game and everything and my sister was like "Jesus I don't want to play that at night." so, close to dawn, I removed the music from the game and put "Yakety Sax" on UA-cam, I went to the streets after the volatiles and as soon as dawn came they ran to the caves, escaping, and I beating them with an iron pipe and a piece of wood on it's back while that song was playing, screaming "payback's a bitch, ain't it?" like Russel Casse in independence day. We pissed ourselves laughing so hard.
I think this is one of the best reviews you've ever done for a game. The commentary you provided for the game's world and its decision-making was very thought-provoking and immaculate. Well done.
Seeing you talk about how later on you are an unstoppable force of nature and aren't afraid of volatiles anymore REALLY highlights for me how bad I am at video games. I was never not scared of the night
Can we just take a moment to praise the music in this game. Every time I boot this game up, I wait for the intro of the music to end before I start the game because it's just so damn good.
It really is great. Once you get higher quality parts for the buggy it really doesn't break that fast. And I love holding the turbo button before hitting the gas. It really catapuls the car forward and you in the seat.
When i first played this game as a 9 year old not knowing anything that’s going on the game. The gameplay and the cinematic scenes alone was so good and beautiful(not all of it but)I remembered it being a masterpiece to this day truly one of the best and YOU my friend made me so damn nostalgic. Great video im surprised you only have 140k subs keep on grinding keep on making our boring days much love thankyouuu
I was a huge fan of Dead Island back when it first released. Despite that, I didn’t play Dying Light until recently. Safe to say I felt right at home but with even more freedom due to the fluidity of movement. Easily one of the best games ever made 10/10
got the game on sell about a 3 months ago and couldn’t put it down , made me a fan of the series instantly and i had to buy dying light 2 on release , this game is honestly in my top 5 games ever it’s so fun
I own the game both on PC and on my switch. I constantly play it to this day. I even loved their little battle Royal game they made with it and can’t wait to play the 2nd game.
This is actually a really enjoyable video I zoned out on this and watched the whole thing and I must say that I’m not disappointed at all this was such a good way of describing this game
I remember the first time I found out about the medical area on the bridge, at the time I was playing with one of my friends who already beat the game, when I got them online and showed them what I found we both looted the hell out of 3 or 4 times and we never had to look for medical supplies ever again,
Even though I like Dying Light 2 more, as it feels like they took what worked great in the first one and made it even better (plus Aiden is an amazing character) , the first game is will always have a special place for my heart. Excited to watch this!
I bought the definitive edition about 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it, already beat the story and 90% done with the following. This is one of the most unique games I have ever played and it's in my top 5 games of all time
This game shows what happens when U let DEVS SHINE. such a fantastic game 50 year's from now this will be a vintage classic. How many call of duty can U say will retain this title.
I remember the first time you encounter volatiles at night in that mission, I was playing co op with my friend and did not even look back once, I had 0 regard for him and that mission alone sold me on this game, it was amazing.
This game was my favourite of the last generation. Also, I was today years old when I found out the night cycle is only 7 minutes long! It definitely doesn’t feel like it!
Looking through your videos now, you cover most of the games that I hold dear to my heart. This is one of my favorite games of all time alongside dying light 2. I love this game so much.
That thing was not a grappling hook. It was the Bathook. Dear lord did I love that thing. Really the best part of the game was killing zombies. I absolutely fell in love with that game. The bathook was physics breaking but it did save my azz a number of times when I jumped off a roof and otherwise would have died but grappling the ground saved me. The story gets far more hate than it deserves. It had a clearly defined villain, good characters, and actual motivation behind actions. Edit: OH HELL NAW! Don't tell people to not kill them. THAT challenge is half the fun of the combat. Dear lord, me and my friends had so much fun with it we only did dark zones and GRE facilities in DL2 during the day and the volatiles are MORE boss in the sequel. What made the combat so great was its fluidity and the fact that you had a clear progression from when you were weak and couldn't take on the volatiles to when you were strong AF and on the level of volatiles. You are never so boss yourself that volatiles were weak but you could clearly fight them. They gave decent money and higher level loot too. I mean, I maxed out single hand and two hand weapons in the legend levels as fast as I could because I loved fighting the volatiles. Now, there really wasn't a reason to farm them like in the sequel. DL2 kinda killed the fun of chases and then incentivized farming of the virals, volatiles as well but to a lesser degree.
My friends and I were playing one night and some random dude joined us, dropped high tier boomerang blades, then left the game. After we figured out that you can drop and dupe items we were running around at night with decked out boomerang blades and stacks of x99 UV flares. We proceeded to bully the shit out of any volatiles we could find.
A very amazing special game, and still better or the best in 2023. Found this game very unnerving and very scary to, from the realistic zombies and there movement and stuck outside at night with the rain pouring down. There's very few games that make you feel this way or any compared to this. And I must mention the music and the atmospheric music to, reminds me of a George Romero 70s or 80s zombie movie, just outstanding.
Although I may be a little late with the advice I still hope it may be useful to someone. If backwards dodges aren't helping with the goon or any other enemy try sideways dodging. You say the goon always hits you even when you dodge but I've always seen that you dodge backwards. Yes, the hitboxes may be broken and way to long but their width is small and you should be able to dodge them pretty easily.
even 7 years later, it is still one of the best, or for many, the very best ZOMBIE game there is even nowadays. The story is a lil clunky at times but the real strength of the game is in its gameplay, a pure awesomeness, served with great musics. If you haven't played this game, just go and try it now as it really aged well !
How Techland could go from intense, atmospheric, panic inducing, and immersive (DL1) to empty, boring, uninteresting, and pointless (DL2) has been a tragedy to witness.
Give it time mate it took about a year for dl1 to become as good as it was, don't get me wrong always greak but they have been tweeking it for 7 years str8 to make it the powerhouse it is today. I'm enjoying dl2 but yeah can't wait for the next 3 years of updates it's going to get savage
Honestly DL1 wasn't very good at release either. Before I learned not to buy games on release in the modern era, I remember sourly putting it down and uninstalling it a few days after buying it. Went back to it like 5 years later after finding out it had received constant support through that time, and absolutely fucking loved it. Wasn't a No Man's Sky level of feeling like an entirely new game, but it was very significant nonetheless. I'm betting DL2 will be the same. Looking forward to playing it in like 4 1/2 years lol
@@christaylor9674 There is no update, no patch that will add atmosphere, tension, and horror. The game is dull and empty, I can't play it for more than twenty minutes without becoming completely overwhelmed with boredom.
The Issue I faced with Bows in this game, is the automatic aim correction it had with it's projectiles. I never really figured out how to remove it, but if that wasn't in the game, or atleast give me the option to turn it off, the bow would've easily be able to get the #1 spot on the weapon list personally.
1:02:38 Wow, that DDLC reference came out of nowhere. Both of these games were unique, in their own way. Dying Light remains the only game in my history that has made me alter my gameplay because one of its mechanics made me too nervous to deal with (going out at night). Doki Doki Literature Club remains the overall most unique gaming experience I've ever had, and literally inspired me to learn coding and MMD animation. Both games are easily in my "Top 5 ever".
Its how the game still holds up far better than most zombie titles, even the sequel continually had further for its 5-YR support to the community and the upcoming standalone DLC is what makes me hype for this franchise. Techland did an enormous inflluence for the players to its replayability and the amount of content they implemented from the developers shows their intergrity and passion of what makes this game so special and memorable for decades to come. I believe no other than Dying light still holds up to this as one of the best zombie games.
For anyone that is looking to get back into dying light and you use a pc, get the nightrunner mod. I highly recommend it. It’s honestly better than the base game. More skills, cut dialogue, harder, new items, new blueprints, overhaul of mechanics, etc. I’ve been hooked on dying light ever since I got this mod. It’s on nexus mods.
I cheezed this game by using the ranger bow from the dlc, it’s a max level unbreakable bow that is easy to craft by just searching trash cans and the arrows are even easier
19:03 i knew another thing was missing in dying light 2 (amongst like a hundred other missing things that were in the first game and not in the second one) ... something missing that made the melee feel so much less realistic... they did not put in the animations of the weapon bouncing off of enemies when your using "long sword type weapons" like katan's and machetes. a sword would not just always slice through the zombie rotting corpse... it would bounce off of bone and deflect some of the time... you would think so anyways. obviously i am not well versed in the mechanics that go into hitting a person (let alone an undead zombie zombie) ... but it just feels so much more realistic and satisfying... because you just bonked the sword on the zombie's skull. the animation is so awesome when it happens, and it happens on the right part of the body making it look like a supernatural thing that would happen when you're using a katana to attack a zombie with. like when it hits it on the forearm and bounces off it looks super clean.
minor correction at the beginning, zombies as we know them only became as ubiquitous as vampires, slashers, and other horror monsters in the 60s with romero's "night of the living dead". otherwise zombies were relatively sparse in horror media. edit: realized you were most likely talking about horror _video games,_ where zombies are much more of a bedrock for that particular genre. oops!
Dying Light was the first game on my steam account when I got my first laptop at 11. 7 years and nearly 1000 hours later Dying Light is one of if not my absolute favorite single player games of all time. Every once in a while I get the itch to restart and play through again and it is always fun. I just wish DL2 was as good as the first. It really sucks that i have nearly 1000 hours in the first game yet dont even want to do a second playthrough of the sequel. I finished the game and havent played since.
Bro I love your hard work these video was recommended me and watched full video and I loved it you are very hard worker ☺️ love to see people like you keep growing 😍
as a 10 year old boy, this game has to be on my top favorites. The storyline is so cool, and it's one of the only games that made me scared. (this year 2023)
Be The Zombie was TONS of fun when it was multiple high leveled players against each other. My friend and I would go all night fighting players that had every upgrade and it was some of the most intense PVP sessions I've ever had. It's also just as fun when YOU'RE playing as the zombie and you're facing off against FOUR players of equal level to you. Human players definitely have the advantage in this mode, (I remember the shield being able to completely negate the spits, even if it was stuck to you, but I believe this was patched) but beating a whole team with those odds is really satisfying.
1:09:40 - For the elevator challenge, you can just run and push zombies into the walls, they fall between the wall and the elevator and get insta-killed
i have good news to anyone who suggested helraid dlc. Though i cant say its a complete comparison if your looking for the game i belive they turned the game into a multiplayer dungeon loot rogue lite similar to tarkov and they call it "Dark and Darker" its pretty fun albiet a lot slower than helraid i definitely reccomend
I played this when i was 13 with so many Jump scare. One of the scariest games I have ever played. I can't play it at night because I know I will dream about it.
When i finished the gazzy quest i felt bad for the poor guy. Than i found a glitched hole in the map and kicked a couple zombies down into it. I uploaded it because i think its a funny glitch and i wanna share it with other's
I remember playing dead island riptide and didn’t think anything could top that but then this released and it completely redefined the zombie game genre, it combined things you would assume to be stupid and made them work like a hot knife through butter 🙌🏼
When I was younger I played it on console and tv and every time I played, my dad was joking he would destroy the cd with screwdriver for how violent I treated those ,,poor zombies"
At around 36:00 when ur talking about the goons. I replayed dying light on hard difficulty about a month ago and had this issue neither then or when I first played the game. So either my game is blessed or you just need to get good
I will never forget opening my 1000th wardrobe and a fucking zombie scares the shit out of me. It has happened to me like 3 times. I now tense up every single time.
I think that "no skippping nights" thing would be a good addition to a harder difficulty. I don't mind a bit of challenge, but I cant play horror games really & disliike Souls-esche games. So a player like me, who only went out at night when forced to, playing on normal wouldn't have to deal w/ that. But I think its rather interesting when harder difficulties add new game mechanics rather than just stuff like making the player weaker & enemies stronger.
Dying light is one of those games that I’ve always said I loved, but I couldn’t tell you a thing about the story. Also that first time when you’re stuck outside at night is one of the most iconic moments in any game

Picked it up super late, actually a month ago ish.. And oh my, what did i miss out on?! Such a great game, so invested in these games now.
1:02:38 Wow, that DDLC reference came out of nowhere. Both of these games were unique, in their own way. Dying Light remains the only game in my history that has made me alter my gameplay because one of its mechanics made me too nervous to deal with (going out at night). Doki Doki Literature Club remains the overall most unique gaming experience I've ever had, and literally inspired me to learn coding and MMD animation.
Both games are easily in my "Top 5 ever".
Its how the game still holds up far better than most zombie titles, even the sequel continually had further for its 5-YR support to the community and the upcoming standalone DLC is what makes me hype for this franchise. Techland did an enormous inflluence for the players to its replayability and the amount of content they implemented from the developers shows their intergrity and passion of what makes this game so special and memorable for decades to come. I believe no other than Dying light still holds up to this as one of the best zombie games.
This is the only game which I completed like 3-4 times and it still surprise me to this day
You can cancel lockpicking after 4 tries & then try again so that you don't waste lock picks.
For anyone that is looking to get back into dying light and you use a pc, get the nightrunner mod. I highly recommend it. It’s honestly better than the base game. More skills, cut dialogue, harder, new items, new blueprints, overhaul of mechanics, etc. I’ve been hooked on dying light ever since I got this mod. It’s on nexus mods.
I cheezed this game by using the ranger bow from the dlc, it’s a max level unbreakable bow that is easy to craft by just searching trash cans and the arrows are even easier
19:03 i knew another thing was missing in dying light 2 (amongst like a hundred other missing things that were in the first game and not in the second one) ... something missing that made the melee feel so much less realistic... they did not put in the animations of the weapon bouncing off of enemies when your using "long sword type weapons" like katan's and machetes. a sword would not just always slice through the zombie rotting corpse... it would bounce off of bone and deflect some of the time... you would think so anyways. obviously i am not well versed in the mechanics that go into hitting a person (let alone an undead zombie zombie) ... but it just feels so much more realistic and satisfying... because you just bonked the sword on the zombie's skull. the animation is so awesome when it happens, and it happens on the right part of the body making it look like a supernatural thing that would happen when you're using a katana to attack a zombie with. like when it hits it on the forearm and bounces off it looks super clean.
59:53 the fact this is modern day Sonic’s VA too is all the more funnier to me
Wrong! Gozi wasn't keeping antizen. It was loritrax; for mama's seizures.
The following dlc is so cool especially with the freaks of nature.
those cinematic shots of harran are really nice
minor correction at the beginning, zombies as we know them only became as ubiquitous as vampires, slashers, and other horror monsters in the 60s with romero's "night of the living dead". otherwise zombies were relatively sparse in horror media.
edit: realized you were most likely talking about horror _video games,_ where zombies are much more of a bedrock for that particular genre. oops!
Dying Light was the first game on my steam account when I got my first laptop at 11. 7 years and nearly 1000 hours later Dying Light is one of if not my absolute favorite single player games of all time. Every once in a while I get the itch to restart and play through again and it is always fun. I just wish DL2 was as good as the first. It really sucks that i have nearly 1000 hours in the first game yet dont even want to do a second playthrough of the sequel. I finished the game and havent played since.
Bro I love your hard work these video was recommended me and watched full video and I loved it you are very hard worker ☺️ love to see people like you keep growing 😍
Crane ended an entire bloodline off the face of the earth. First with Amir, then Rahim, then Jade.
as a 10 year old boy, this game has to be on my top favorites. The storyline is so cool, and it's one of the only games that made me scared. (this year 2023)
Huge respect for being considerate for those who are wacthing this at 3 am, you just earned my follow and my respect.
Be The Zombie was TONS of fun when it was multiple high leveled players against each other. My friend and I would go all night fighting players that had every upgrade and it was some of the most intense PVP sessions I've ever had. It's also just as fun when YOU'RE playing as the zombie and you're facing off against FOUR players of equal level to you. Human players definitely have the advantage in this mode, (I remember the shield being able to completely negate the spits, even if it was stuck to you, but I believe this was patched) but beating a whole team with those odds is really satisfying.
I remember back in 2017 when I’d play with random kids my age and we’d go to the top of the bridge to look for dark sickles
53:00 in the harran tower there is a poster that teleports you to the docks of the prison which is a quite hard challenge even at max legend level
1:09:40 - For the elevator challenge, you can just run and push zombies into the walls, they fall between the wall and the elevator and get insta-killed
You gotta remember now matter what there always someone that is willing to pick you up at your lowest.
i have good news to anyone who suggested helraid dlc. Though i cant say its a complete comparison if your looking for the game i belive they turned the game into a multiplayer dungeon loot rogue lite similar to tarkov and they call it "Dark and Darker" its pretty fun albiet a lot slower than helraid i definitely reccomend
dying light is my favorite game ever created and i could tell you every part of every stage of the game and even list every move in the skill tree
I loved turning zombies into powder with the biggest sledgehammer I could find
I played this when i was 13 with so many Jump scare. One of the scariest games I have ever played. I can't play it at night because I know I will dream about it.
This game is one of my top 5 all time. I have countless play throughs on every platform ps4 xbox pc.
When i finished the gazzy quest i felt bad for the poor guy. Than i found a glitched hole in the map and kicked a couple zombies down into it. I uploaded it because i think its a funny glitch and i wanna share it with other's
I remember playing dead island riptide and didn’t think anything could top that but then this released and it completely redefined the zombie game genre, it combined things you would assume to be stupid and made them work like a hot knife through butter 🙌🏼
No wonder I felt gaslighted when the game kept telling me that Crane was only following orders.
When I was younger I played it on console and tv and every time I played, my dad was joking he would destroy the cd with screwdriver for how violent I treated those ,,poor zombies"
At around 36:00 when ur talking about the goons. I replayed dying light on hard difficulty about a month ago and had this issue neither then or when I first played the game. So either my game is blessed or you just need to get good
that one time with the zonbie in the closet made me shit my pants. never opened a closet again
From what i remember you can actually dodge the shockwave by jump.
I liked the Sam B/Dead Island music in the backgroud around 1:01:00
I will never forget opening my 1000th wardrobe and a fucking zombie scares the shit out of me. It has happened to me like 3 times. I now tense up every single time.
None could ever get as good a theme tune as dying light
Dying Light is such a masterpiece... can't even put into words how much I love that game lol.
the bolter quest i feel was for people like me who didnt go out at night before then
I don’t really understand your criticism of the buggy. Finding better replacement parts it’s easy with the military outposts.
I think that "no skippping nights" thing would be a good addition to a harder difficulty. I don't mind a bit of challenge, but I cant play horror games really & disliike Souls-esche games. So a player like me, who only went out at night when forced to, playing on normal wouldn't have to deal w/ that. But I think its rather interesting when harder difficulties add new game mechanics rather than just stuff like making the player weaker & enemies stronger.
You can dowload nightrunner mod, its pretty hard and ir has no skipping night in harder difficulties
Think you forgot about the prison? That is (for me) very challenging and a good way to grind weapons.
Right now dying light is free for a little bit in the epic games store
Probably one of if not my all time favorite game though I was surprised to hear he’ll raid wasn’t that popular as I enjoyed it
5:18-5:44 u know you ve been playing a bunch of dl when u know this is fhe cutscene when u open the game
Very nice Video.. i really like it when a video is over a hour long👍💪✌️
This made me sad because I used to play this game all day with my dad but then my dad died so now I can’t
Based on the Easter Egg in Dying Light 2, Gazi is alive for now.
Awesome video. I think I’ll go play Dying Light now
crane probably is still alive and is one of the few sentient volatiles in the world
the third mission stops me from playing it alone, I just cant...
The creators have said that crane coming out as a sentient volatile is canon, so that’s pretty cool that he was the reason the world went to shit
