Our analysis
Best combat in the series with brilliant melee and visceral gore. Weak story and repetitive loop.
Our analysis
Techland tribute act combining their greatest hits. Engaging world but monotonous fetch quests.
Our analysis
Techland pulled it off with a closer sequel to the original. Returns original protagonist and scarier nights.
Our analysis
The most enjoyable Dying Light to date, leaning into horror and tough, stamina-driven combat rather than the series' usual power-fantasy excess. Strengths include weighty melee combat with a gruesome damage model, genuinely scary nighttime stealth-horror sequences in the wooded Caster Woods, restored verticality, and a tighter, leaner 20-hour story free of bloated live-service filler. Beast Mode works well as an emergency escape rather than a crutch, though guns feel underused and some late-game racing side quests fall flat.
Our analysis
A solid continuation that delivers a compelling single-player experience with excellent atmosphere, great environmental graphics, and well-crafted side quests, though it suffers from predictable design, dated character models, and insufficient parkour.

The reviewer enjoyed the game but found it disappointing compared to Dying Light 2, with a weak talent tree and few meaningful innovations beyond darker atmosphere and darker nights. It feels like a transitional episode rather than a full sequel.

WatchOur analysis
A solid continuation that successfully addresses many of Dying Light 2's flaws by refocusing on the series' core strengths: zombie slaying, exploration, and nighttime survival tension. While not perfect due to lingering tedious elements and a weak plot, fans of Techland's action-parkour gameplay will find much to enjoy.

WatchOur analysis
A significant downgrade from Dying Light 2 with weak storytelling and tedious quest design. While the melee combat is exceptional, the game's poor AI, lack of fast travel, and artificially padded content don't justify its $60 price tag, making it a mistake for DL2 fans to buy at full price.
The Co-Op Bros👍 positive
WatchOur analysis
A solid step forward for the franchise that delivers on improved co-op and boss design with tighter pacing, though it doesn't innovate significantly or push genre boundaries.

After many hours, the series feels complete — Kyle's story continues successfully in an adventure full of emotion and action. The most bloody and action-packed entry in the series, with the night atmosphere still terrifying, new mechanics like driving, and noticeable parkour and combat improvements in a beautiful, devastated, richly detailed world, though bosses and lighting fall short.
