I am not so hardcore that I want to spend a lot of time searching for goods to build better weapons. It’s one of the game aspects I didn’t appreciate as much. Some enemies are so challenging that I realize I may have simply not done an effective job of crafting. The buildings hold more surprises, and in order to proceed, one must scavenge for goods to craft weapons, medkits, tools, and more.

The sewers are interesting and many situations have you leaping from catwalk to pipe and elevated platform.

Stealth is important in this game, at least in the beginning. If you do, you die, especially if you make noise. Often you have little time to look around. The only element detracting from the visuals is the difficulty of survival. The graphics are beautiful (at least on my X-Box) and in particular, the lighting as the sun sets and night blankets the dangerous urban maze is a thing of beauty. The fictional city (seemingly eastern European, perhaps Balkan, or in Turkey?) consists of slums, towers, sewers, greenspaces, cliffs, marine villages, and more. The city is Harran, the site of a viral infection. TSJ Reviews Zombie Open World Survival/Horror Video Game Dying Light
