Dying Light: Platinum Edition offers something every survival game should – constant split-second decision-making. Gameplay is king here, and the freedom of parkouring across buildings while ducking and weaving through the zombie horde. I wasn’t able to get too invested, but I don’t think it’s meant to really do much but bridge together fun missions. The story is generic zombie apocalypse flair but it’s entertaining if you go in with the right expectations. They come from a place of needing to sell a game on the Switch rather than sell a good game on Switch.Īs a game, Dying Light is a wonderful time and an example of a AAA game with more than meets the eye. I’ve danced this dance before, most of these kinds of ports end up rough. When I saw this was announced for Switch, I was admittedly cynical.
One that only comes from a very hard-working and passionate development team that understands the Switch hardware backward and forward. Dying Light: Platinum Edition is one of those rare miracle ports. Add in an open world? No way, I’d have to be pulling your leg. If you’ve played a lot of Switch ports of games made on the PlayStation 4, then you definitely don’t believe me. If you’ve played a lot of Switch ports, you probably don’t believe me. What’s even crazier is that I can say that the Nintendo Switch version is a totally adequate version for you to play. Dying Light: Platinum Edition is one of the most fun zombie games you can currently play on the market right now.
I was more surprised to see that it existed as the properly fleshed-out version of Dead Island’s rough idea.
It was an hour into running around Dying Light’s world that I started to remember my time playing Dead Island, and I was surprised to see that this was made by the same developers. Maybe you felt differently, and that’s okay, but for me and many others, it was quite the disappointment. As a 15-year-old without a job, I didn’t really get the opportunity to buy many games, so I put a lot of faith into such a cool-looking zombie game. When I was a teenager, I bought into the hype by the rather breathtaking Dead Island trailer.
