Our quick take
Dying Light - 4.0 / 5
Genre mash-up
Fight for survival
The face-off between zombies and different human factions provides one great mechanic that leads to interesting gameplay, but perhaps the game’s most significant mechanism is the disparity between night and day. Harran is a terrifying place after dark, since that’s when the particularly exotic zombies come out to play, notably the Volatiles, which are fast-moving and sufficiently aware to annoy those who maintain zombies should only ever shamble at best. You can daze them with a UV torch or flares, but running away from them is your best bet.
