DS: It might disappoint you to hear that Dying Light shares many a similarity with Techland's Dead Island, a game that failed to keep pace with a hype machine fuelled by THAT emotionally engaging reveal trailer. Players are once again forced to explore a zombie-ravaged open-world environment, running errands for various factions while scavenging for makeshift weapons to stave off the undead. Fortunately, however, Dying Light does have some tricks that it can call its own, including a speedy new navigation system and a tension-inducing day and night cycle.

Stephanie Burdo from The Koalition writes: "After spending countless hours grinding in Techlands new open-world zombie game, Dying Light, I found myself feeling an overwhelming sense of deja vu. With a fair amount of similarities to Dead Island, it occurred to me time and time again does this qualify as a new I.P? Or am I simply replaying Dead Island for third time? After a lot of deep thinking and comparing the two titles, I finally found my answer. Dying Light is the intelligent, better-looking older brother and Dead Island is the sociopath younger sibling who eats glue and farts in public."

Saving Content: "Dying Light is the Dead Island game Techland always wanted to make. As a result, it is a gritty, more serious take than the previous games theyve developed. Because of this, it is better than what has come before, but not without its faults, foibles, and reptitive mission structure and fetch quests. Dying Light is a fun excursion into the open-world with crafted melee weapons of destruction that I only wish we had gotten sooner."

Dying Light presents a simple formula, Dead Island mixed with Mirrors Edge. That is the core concept of the game. On top of that the game sets out to make sure you fear the night time. But with it being developed by the same company as the abysmal Dead Island Riptide as well as the original Dead Island the goals may seem too lofty for this company. Will it succeed where the Dead Island games failed? Or will it simply be another game for the bargain bin?

The cocktail of one part Mirrors Edge and one part Dead Island is a drink I would happily drown myself in. So, have they pulled it off? Writes FGUK's Ian

Technology Tell writes, "Other than the somewhat oxymoronic risk of karoshi, Techlands Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide are fundamentally similar to Dying Light. All three are packed with zombies, and it is the primary goal of the player to make them less packed with zombies. With that said, Dying Light is head and shoulders above any of Techlands prior undead outings, and makes for a far more engaging survivor experience."

Techland's glorious pseudo-Dead Island sequel is arguably the first true must-have of 2015.
