Dying Light: The Beast Dying Light: The Beast, the zombie action-adventure that continues Kyle Crane's story from the original, launched on September 18th. Players are loving the new installment, with the game earning a 92% approval rating on Steam.

Reviews are praising the game's beautiful graphics, dark atmosphere, strong optimization, excellent combat system, the removal of parkour stamina, and the return of Kyle Crane.

Dying Light: The Beast is INCREDIBLE! Techland nailed it. The new world is huge and terrifyingly beautiful, exploring it is a pure joy. Parkour is even smoother, and the fighting is more brutal. The night is now much scarier, and the appearance of that Beast is just unforgettable. This is a powerful, cinematic horror experience with a perfect atmosphere. Verdict: The best installment in the series. A must-buy! 10/10.

Just finished my first few hours in the latest entry in my favorite series, and I'm blown away! The Beast truly feels like a fully-fledged release, not just another add-on.

What can I say? It was worth the wait. The optimization is great, the story is intriguing. Europe, a forest... A good review for a good game!

Finally, a proper story-driven sequel to the first Dying Light. Dying Light: The Beast has brought back the atmosphere and tension of Harran. The plot is captivating, the gameplay is polished, and the experience is far more compelling than Dying Light 2 Stay Human.
