Dying Light: The Beast

A rather enjoyable game. Compared to the second game, it follows in the footsteps of the first, bringing back the truly terrifying and dark nights. The gameplay has become less casual. Instead of scouring the map for upgrades for the main character, we only unlock upgrades for our berserker mode, with all other upgrades unlocked through leveling up. The map isn't as large as the second game, but it's filled with various details and interesting mini-locations. In my opinion, The Beast, while shorter and less expansive than the second game in the series, is well-rounded and never gets boring.

As someone who was hooked on Dying Light from the first game and still hasn't let go, I simply have to speak up. The Beast is exactly what my soul was craving. I stayed up until three in the morning, playing mission after mission, and it was impossible to tear myself away.

Look, the story: Crane returns, and he's no longer just a survivor with a bat; he's become something more. His beastly nature awakens, and it's not just a plot device—it actually works. You run around the map, tearing apart infected with your bare hands, roaring, jumping like a man possessed, and it feels damn cool. It's like you've finally been given that power you so desperately needed while hiding on the rooftops in the first game.

The Poles have once again revealed their creative impotence, spitting out what was originally planned as a standard story DLC for Part 2 under the guise of a standalone game. A soulless reskin, the only major innovation being a dreary attempt to capitalize on cheap nostalgia and dig up a flight attendant in the form of Kyle Crane, who was somehow turned into a spineless errand boy for strong and independent women. Parkour has been safely buried, replacing a proper city with endless empty fields through which you're forced to trudge gloomily in a cardboard pickup truck that stalls after hitting a wooden fence and drains its fuel tank in two minutes. Dark zones have been casualized beyond belief, turning into a stuffy vent-climbing simulator, and the much-hyped Beast mode has turned out to b… Read full

Более оказуаленная версия игры, особенно если сравнивать с прошлыми частями, но существенно лучше в сравнении со второй. Правда хуже чем первая как минимум в плане геймплея и пачки талантов. Зомбаки тут не такие болванчики как во второй, им вернули анимации из первой части, но ещё случаются казусы и тупняки. Ощущение что их иммерсивность с миром урезали. Но это всё ещё отличный опыт борьбы с зомбаками в этой вселенной, а если выбирать между второй и этой, то вторую я бы пропустил.

Dying Light: The Beast is an interesting return to the atmosphere of survival and the brutal zombie world. The game boasts tense nighttime raids, dynamic combat, and the familiar parkour that remains one of the series' signature features. However, in places it feels a bit lacking in innovation, and some mechanics could have been more nuanced. Overall, it's a worthy sequel for Dying Light fans, bringing back the sense of danger and the struggle for survival.
