Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition is a great compilation and offers a huge amount of content. If you haven't tried this franchise yet, the Enhanced Edition containing two games that deserve your attention gives you another chance to do so.

The Following is basically just more Dying Light but with a car and that's perfectly fine.
It's recommend that you level up your survivor skill tree to 12 before beginning expansion – with good reason. The infected roam freely in the pastures, your enemies have guns, and there are fewer places to hide. I ignored this recommendation and started with a survival level of 5. It's not impossible to start the story this way, but be prepared to die. A lot.
The Dying Light: The Following expansion is by far one of the best DLC's that I have experienced in current gen gaming. It adds plenty to a game that was already great. Especially since it is $30 which is already a better price per quantity of gameplay than any of the Destiny DLC's. Of course it is not without its as it fails to create a compelling story and solid frame rate. This is a must buy for fans of Dying Light and really anybody who likes bashing zombies brains in.
"Dying Light The Following lifts players out of the mean ravaged streets of Harran to offer up a completely different world filled with new characters and a gripping storyline along with new side quests. While the Bozak Horde and other previous DLC for the game added extra activities and a competitive nature, The Following pushes the story in a whole new direction filled with twists, turns and conspiracy theories, seriously…what's not to enjoy!".
Albeit with improvements on the abilities tree and story, The Following suffers from bad checkpoints placement and a world that doesn't complement the usage of the car.

The Following is the type of DLC/expansion that should be industry standard. Its additions to story and gameplay, as well as the tweaking of bugs and glitches from the main game, combine to form a truly entertaining expansion.
Developers Techland have already been generous with free content support for Dying Light, and that generosity grows evermore with the insanely fun The Following (for a price of course)
Despite the fact that less use is made of the free-running parkour skills that Dying Light is known for, adding the buggy is a successful strategy. Your buggy is like a well-oiled zombie-killing machine that you want to take with you wherever you go in the new area of Dying Light. And just like the buggy, the game is a oiled zombie-killing machine in which almost everything is right!

The Following expansion pack is a fantastic, enjoyable addition to an already great game, you'll bound not to find a dull moment within. By the end you'll be wanting to do nothing more than get behind the wheel and creating chaos as you speed across the dirt roads, taking down zombies in a field of blood splattering glory.
'The Following' is the kind of expansion that by today's publishing standards could have easily been labeled as a sequel and given a higher price tag. It doesn't get everything right, but still has a lot to offer.
Amazing, beautiful, fun. One of the best zombie game that has ever created and one of the best games of this generation. Don't miss Dying Light: The Following!

The Following should appeal to anybody who enjoyed holidaying in Harran during the original outbreak, and provides the perfect excuse to electrify a meat cleaver and slice up a few more shambling corpses for old time's sake. Those yet to witness the thrill of evading a pack of hungry virals by shinning up onto the nearest flat roof can pick up the Dying Light: Enhanced Edition which besides including both the full game and The Following expansion also includes a further two DLC packs of co-op zombie-slaying fun.
Remember when you mindlessly ran over throngs of pedestrians on GTA 'just because'? Now you can do that with zombies!
There is nothing more satisfying in life than mowing down a group of infected with your Buggy. The Following is an exciting expansion to the already amazing base game, Dying Light.
Dying Light: The Following's nightmare difficulty setting and additional legend level system along with improved visuals and advanced AI make for a new experience for players of the original Dying Light. The Following content itself - whether bought separately or as part of the new Enhanced Edition - offers a very different but yet worthy test, with the open fields and buggy opening up a completely different set of rules to exploit and best the legions of undead.
Overall Dying Light's new DLC "The Following" manages to provide another fun filled few hours of zombie killing entertainment. Techland did not mess around with this DLC, it's not some lazy cash in or something that isn't worth playing. It's a totally new area, with a major new mechanic (vehicles), and an interesting story. If you was a fan of the original Dying Light game then this is an easy recommendation. If you wasn't a fan of the original then there's still a chance you could enjoy this DLC as it changes quite a lot to say it's just a DLC.
At the end of the day, The Following is everything we could expect from the Dying Lightexpansion, a memorable and extremely fun installment of last year's best zombie game because it continues the story of survival and follows to the letter a solid formula that we thought was appropriate. The Following debuts with the Enhanced Edition of Dying Light,which means that the base game received a lot of quality improvements. The best news for the owners of the original game is that they will have such a version without paying. On PC, the update is out of the box, while on console the additions should be ready as an additional downloadable package. The release of The Following is a worthy time to return to the best zombie survival and action game of 2015.

The Following may be different than its core game, but in this case I think that helps more than hinders. One of Dying Light's biggest strengths was that it proved that zombie games could still be fun, and The Following absolutely retains that. It doesn't really add anything in the way of enemy variety, and its story, while interesting, isn't as fleshed out as it perhaps could be, but it is a genuinely fun time.
