I wasn't expecting for this to be a day one purchase, but since my region of the country is snowed in right now, I picked it up through Steam. It's overall a pretty solid game. The visuals, soundtrack, and ambient sound design are all really good. I find the parkour seemless and smooth; some people have even compared it to the Mirror's Edge parkour. The melee fighting is good, but the zombies take insane amounts of damage. From what I've played so far, there seems like a ton of content. I'd recommend a purchase.

A word of warning, though. If you're going to get this on PC, make sure you have a state-of-the-art computer. My three year old gaming laptop is struggling with the game. It's probably because the game (like GTA V) takes place mainly on one huge open map. Loading times are short, but because of how massive the map is, looking at the distance can cause massive framerate stutter. If you're not sure about your specifications, definitely try it out on console.

Anyone else get the game yet?

It has Pewdiepie's seal of approval.

It must be good.

All of a sudden, I regret my purchase.

How does it compare to Dead Island in terms of gameplay? I was watching someone play a press-release version and it looked awfully similar (The LPer avoided combat most of the time though, which was cool because parkour) and I'm pretty burnt out of that kind of game/zombies in general.

And another thing I wanted to know was how the guns felt, assuming anyone has made it that far to acquire one.

I haven't played a zombie game in a couple years or so, so this one didn't feel too wrote for me. I never played Dead Island but the Steam reviews I read before buying the game said that the combat was fairly similar, but improved somehow from Dead Island. I find the melee to be well executed. I will say, however, that I remember one of the main complaints with Dead Island being the poor side quest execution and the side quests in this one can definitely be tedious and unenjoyable. I would say that's my main complaint with the game's content so far.

It's not so much him as it is the idea of marketing types using YouTubers like him to appeal to consumers. It suggests that the marketers are trying to appeal to his audience (in my experience a younger-skewed demographic) for a game that's also trying to seem "mature." It reeks of lowest-common-denominator marketing. It's also an appeal to his fame. The quote doesn't actually say anything about the game-- even if it said 'scary' or 'fun' or 'challenging' or something like that, I wouldn't really have a problem because they'd be appealing to his assessment of the product rather than just his popularity.

Then again, like Dead Island, Dying Light has a couple of in-universe websites dedicated to marketing via world building (there's a website for the fictional city they created) that are pretty clever and clearly have a good bit of work put into them, so it's probably unfair to base everything off one poster.
