I can only imagine the head-scratching that went on behind closed doors before the developers settled on calling the new world ‘ The City’, but that’s where we are. Will Aiden and Mia ever be reunited? Will Aiden ever be able to rid himself of the innate guilt he has been ridden with throughout his life? Only time will tell. It’s now 2036 and our protagonist has happened upon a clue that may well lead to the location of his estranged sibling. During the disaster he and his sister are lost and unable to find each other and leaving her behing has led Aiden to live a guilt-ridden life since. Experimented on as children, the two are separated when a fire breaks out at the facility.
Playing as a brand new protagonist, Aiden Caldwell, as he battles his way through the undead hordes in a bid to reunite with his long-lost sister, Mia.īy the looks of things, Aiden and Mia were born into a world devoid of ‘freakers’. While not a deal breaker, it can be a little distracting.Dying Light 2 is to be set 20 years after the apocalypse and 15 years after the events of the first game. There’s just a lot of noise in the image that isn’t there on the console.
PINK JUST LIKE FIRE REMIX MOVIE
It reminds me of watching a movie on VHS. On the Switch, however, when you stand to talk to an NPC, everyone has a fuzzy static quality about them. The facial motion capture has always been a little eerie but it’s part of the charm. Dying Light isn’t a realistic looking game but that’s never been an issue. That being said, I do love that I can play Dying Light anywhere and I just pretend that the small buttons are extra hard mode.Īnother downside is the graphic quality. No one’s hands are that small, even children’s hands. The Switch’s tiny ass buttons are a nightmare and I hate them but that isn’t specific to this game. There’s nothing scarier than trying to jump across a large divide when you have big hands trying to manipulate itty bitty little buttons, inevitably falling to your death. For fans who already love the game, playing it on the Switch is a fun, new adventure.
So, is playing Dying Light Platinum on the Switch worth it? Yes and no. Since its release in 2015, Techland has been really good about releasing DLCs and continuing special events each year to keep people playing Dying Light and now there’s even more of a reason because Dying Light 2 Stay Human is coming out next year and I am so excited that I could spit. On top of all that, the gameplay changed through the day/night cycle making the hours of darkness a lot more difficult to survive. Dying Light is so special because not only can you create some of the craziest and most OP weapons you have ever seen, but you can parkour across the island like a spider monkey. I always like to say that Dying Light is the Dead Island we wish we had always gotten. If Dying Light feels a lot like Dead Island, that’s because it was developed by Techland, one half of the creators of Dead Island. Crane must do all of this while assisting survivors, fighting off dangerous dudes, letting the outside know that there are still survivors while trying to not let the virus take him out. Zere, who is working on a cure for the Harran virus. Due to the change in plan, the GRE commands Crane to not only recover the stolen file from Suleiman but also to collect the data from a Dr. Thankfully for him, there is a medication called Antizin that can stall the virus’s progression from turning those afflicted into bald and vicious monsters.Ĭrane is taken to a survivors hub called the Tower where he learns that the supplies are running low and Antizin isn’t easy to come by anymore. Immediately after landing, Crane gets attacked by the undead and is bitten. Crane is being dropped into Harran to find Kadir Suleiman, a man who stole some very important GRE documents and is holding them hostage in the quarantine zone. Harran is now quarantined and the GRE air drops supplies in for survivors. You play as Kyle Crane, a GRE (Global Relief Effort) agent who is going undercover in Harran, ground zero for a deadly outbreak that has ravaged the city. For those of you most unfortunate to NOT have played Dying Light this 2015 release was FIRE.
