Dying Light: The Following Reviews
"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!".
Dying Light: The Following is an impressive expansion. One might worry that the addition of an entirely new mechanic like driving would either ruin the game or feel like a gimmick, but Techland sufficiently built an experience that feels like it belongs, with a scope that could have easily been released as full game itself.
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.
'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.
Dying Light's latest DLC supplements the full game's first-person parkour with customizable dirt buggies, drastically different environments, and a conspiracy-driven mystery.
Dying Light: The Following adds a whole new countryside to the zombie infested Harran and a brand-new buggy to ride across it. It's a strong expansion to a great game, continuing the original game's survival aspects into a new, open arena. This is almost a different game hidden in DLC.
The Following is extensive, exciting, lasts 20-25 hours and adds to the main game many new elements, while losing something (parkour) with the addition of vehicle and not excelling in AI enemy of humans.

The buggy, like the rooftops, is a temporary form of safety. All of the enhancements in the latest edition – new loot, new levels, new end-game excess – are icing on the cake. Dying Light is about creating moments of safety, empowerment and comedic triumph in a world that wants nothing more than to tear you down, and The Following is a perfect expansion of that central tenet.
Dying Light: The Following is a treat for anyone into surviving a zombie apocalypse. It takes all of the best parts of Dying Light and manages to use them as a launchpad into something new and fresh.
The Following is a powerful and well-made expansion, if considered individually, or an even gigantic experience if purchased with the full game, in the Enhanced Edition. The introduction of the Buggy does not obscure the gameplay of Dying Light but is still very well cared for, as well as consistent with the original spirit.

Dying Light The Following is a decent length expansion that will last players around ten hours and adds a nice little chunk to the core gameplay that can extend the overall package of Dying Light, even with newer features in the be the zombie mode also.
A big 'ol chunk of game with a lot of things to do, and just as importantly, new ways to do them.
Just like the original Dying Light, nothing works quite as well as it should and although there are some interesting new ideas here none of them are realised without significant flaws.
The Following is an example for anyone who wants to develop additional content. A year after the release, the development team gives us a new adventure that, in terms of quantity and extension, has little to envy to the original one. The plot, mysterious and intriguing, lets us discover little by little the customs of the Sons of the Sun, a sect of fanatics immune to contagion, and puts us in front of interesting personalities and revelations.

It lasts a lot, adds interesting gameplay elements (the buggy above all), can count on a plot much more interesting than expected and offers a level of difficulty calibrated upwards that will please many fans of Dying Light.

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.

Dying Light: The Following manages to include a new fun-filled environment to explore along with a vehicle to do so that mesh together well with a story that's slow to start but ends with a powerful punch.
