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.
