In fact, there’s plenty to do in this game, even when you aren’t pursuing the original campaign. It’s not the game’s most popular mode, but you can even assume the role of an Infected and enter another player’s session. Dying Light dangles greater rewards to tempt you into venturing out at night, but there’s a very real risk of being mauled by a Volatile – hyper-aggressive hunters that won’t give up the chase, even when you climb and leap between buildings to create some distance. This is where the game can get truly terrifying. Now with drivable vehicles, you can get across the terrain much more quickly, while the parkour and melee combat continue to shine in certain scenarios.Īs Dying Light fans will know, once the sun goes down, the game’s nastier Infected come out to play. Sure, there aren’t many humans left though the streets are flooded with infected, most of them milling around in massive herds.Īlternatively, you can step outside the city bounds and into the verdant countryside nearby for the expansive The Following DLC pack. Then you have to consider the population of Harran. It’s not just a huge map, it’s a labyrinth of urban structures, a gauntlet that’s designed to put players’ parkour skills to the test.

The most important takeaway from playing Dying Light on Switch is that the game’s scale, immersion, and character all remain intact, and in some ways enhanced. This Platinum Edition is an impressive port that cleverly pares back only what it needs to, and while there have obviously been comprises, they’re hard to pick out unless directly comparing the Nintendo Switch version with Dying Light on PS4, Xbox One, or PC. The Nintendo Switch has already proven itself capable of handling heavy hitters that many assumed would never work on the hybrid handheld, and we can now add Dying Light to that list.
