honestly, it's just a vibe, dude. Like, it's a vibe. It really is. ... it's just one of those feel-good fun games.

I'm loving it, too. I'm really really liking it. I kind of forgot how much I like Dying Light 2's fluidity of gameplay... right now, I'm having a really good time.

I'm glad I played this game and I'm glad the gameplay is awesome. The gameplay in Dying Light The Beast is and feels great... but man, it is getting to the point where the story and the writing is so bad, it is detracting from the other good parts of the game.

It's really fun. I think this is substantially more fun than Dying Light 2 was for me.

so far the game has been really fun to actually play. There's certainly been a few issues... I hope it actually feels like a full game as they are charging a full $60 for it.

I would say that this early preview seems pretty positive. A lot of these mechanics and settings are more in line with what I was hoping Dying Light 2 would be.

Is that worth a buy? Yes, it is. It scrapes through by its nipples.

This was a lot of fun. I'm a huge sucker for the resource gathering, crafting, zombie slaying. Like the melee in this is so good. It's nice and crunchy and chunky. And every weapon feels like has some real heft to it. Love it. And the parkour is so smooth.

I enjoyed what I played. It ran well, sounded pretty good overall. And when it comes down to it, the idea of these expanded expansions that we get where they're a little bit larger than the normal expansions... well, at least what I played seems like it's going to hit that perfect.
