Dying Light 1 is just better overall than the 2nd game. The feel, the soundtrack, etc. DL1 really feels special the first time you play it- especially with friends.
There’s no better feeling than the first time you hear Jade come over the radio and start warning you about sunset. Then that final “good night, and good luck” damn it’s so awesome.
Honestly DL1 was the first horror game to genuinely terrify me without just spamming jumpscares everywhere every 2 seconds which is probably why I liked it so much I didn't need to get bombarded with sensory overload and loud screams to be terrified I didn't even need to see a volatile at night to be scared just the night itself scared me because "there could be something there" it's the same fear I had as a child of something lurking in the darkness of my closet or bed and DL1 hit that note perfectly
This was a very good take on dying light, I think dying light nailed the zombie horror genre compared to all the zombie games I've played and I'm a huge zombie fan, I own all the resident evil games, and all of techlands zombie games, starting to play the walking dead, The Last of Us games which are my favorite games of all time. I'd like to say dying light has impressed me in atmosphere, Dying light 2 is alright I honestly was hoping for better atmosphere but I don't blame them cause first game was already like really good atmosphere so it's hard to nail it again. Go ahead and try dying light 2 it has a decent story and I'm gonna sub to see a take on dying light 2. Goodluck on your university man much love <3.
Honestly I love how during the night you can look over across the bridge and see the lights of a normal functioning city.. but you’re stuck here in a hell scape
The game has a design that doesn’t let up the horror aside from a few safe houses, it constantly spawns zombies around you basically anywhere and you can tell from the background ambience being full of zombie sounds and fire with no nature sounds or anything peaceful, that you won’t rest, making it more of a constant horror game than a actual open world
The devs at techland really knew how to make you feel a certain way. In dying light 1 it feels like a dying inescapable city with an inevitable end. At the start you are curious, and by your first night you are fearful, very fearful, you are not going to make it outside. In dying light 2 it feels like a beautiful but dangerous place, there is safe places but a lot of them are dangerous. When you first unlock the open world, you're filled with curiosity, you could do so much, and by night, it's not really scary, but chases are exhilarating, and honestly they're really fun.
ive been a techland fan since dead island , their unique formula for zombie games has a special place in my heart and it peaks with dying light. I mean it when i say if you consider all metric, dying light is probably THE best zombie game ever made. Funny i did a comprehensive replay last year around this time but im thinking about this game again so soon lol.
Honestly Dying Light is single handedly my favorite game of all time, and as such I’ll give you a small warning for if/ when ya play Dying Light 2, DL2 despite being more graphically enhanced from DL1, doesn’t capture nearly any of the elements of DL1 very well or at all in some cases but is overall quite alright. Apart from that, this vid was framed amazingly and your voice over was done extremely well, I hope to see some more vids from you in the future!
Dying light is the best representation of “your fucked” when night comes without the flashlight your seeing complete darkness and it’s honestly the best experience
