About Dying Light
Dying Light is a first-person, action survival horror game set in a vast and dangerous open world. During the day, players traverse an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population. At night, the hunter becomes the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more dangerous. Most frightening are the predators which only appear after sundown. Players must use everything in their power to survive until the morning’s first light.

My roommate and I took turns playing this after our night shifts ended, running on maybe four hours of sleep each time, still somehow always chose one more run before dawn.

But compared to Fallout 3, the parkour actually makes exploration fun instead of a chore.

Stop acting like this is some budget title. The movement system alone beats half the games ranked above it and people still act surprised when it wins duels.

What's the movement system got that Fallout 3 doesn't, exactly? Genuinely curious what makes people rank this over something with actual depth.

Para mí funciona sobre todo por el movimiento, o mejor dicho por cómo se combina con la noche, que cambia completamente el ritmo del juego. Merece estar donde está.

Oh sure, throw in a comparison to Fallout 3 while we're at it, because nothing says survival horror like a Vault dweller with a BB gun.

El día se me hacía repetitivo, correr y saquear sin mucho más. Pero de noche cambia todo, tensión pura, y ahí es donde el juego se gana su lugar para mí.

La noche cambia todo, dice (y tiene razón, la verdad).
LlewellynPilot
Night tension carries it, sure, but daytime looting gets stale fast if you're not chasing something specific.
