Dying Light: The Beast Reviews
Dying Light: The Beast is a smaller but enjoyable addition to the series, with the return of Kyle Crane and the new mountain setting of Castor Woods. There's nothing groundbreaking here, but it's a very good amalgamation of everything we've seen in previous Dying Light games.

Dying Light: The Beast is a fun and enjoyable game that can keep you busy for hours. However, a number of problems, such as a regression in crafting, skill trees, and blueprint system compared to the first game, and an excessive similarity to the second version, have prevented this game from reaching its full potential.

Beast mode is the highlight, letting you wreak havoc on zombies with an adrenaline rush to match-but the game falls short in character development and technical polish, regardless this game will be the game Dying Light fans will jump into with high expectations if they can look past the technical problems the game has

Dying Light: The Beast is another terrifying foray that provides a unique spin on the survival horror genre. However, its horde of bugged missions and objectives damage its otherwise immersive terror.
While Dying Light: The Beast has some minor issues, the overall experience is fantastic and worth your time.
As Kyle Crane’s story continues, action-packed hours of zombie-bashing await you. What we have here is a tight, well-crafted game.

Techland made the right choice turning Dying Light: The Beast into a standalone entry in the series as it might just be the best yet. Taking control of Kyle Crane again is fantastic, especially now that he can tap into the power of his inner beast. But despite this, it remains mostly a tense experience, with a fantastic open world that begs to be explored.
Dying Light: The Beast is a solid return of the original hero in a new area of operation, with a new ability and old habits. It's still a game about running, collecting, and chopping up zombies, which makes you feel like this formula is slowly wearing thin. It's time to give the series a rest or rebuild it, but other than that, the rest of it is a good, engaging experience. I recommend it.

The Beast brings effective tweaks that bring Dying Light back to the level that has earned it so many fans over the years. While the mission and activity structure doesn't offer any major innovations, the game is a strong indication that good things are in store for the future of the series.

Dying Light: The Beast is faster, more agile, deeper, and without a doubt the best episode in the series.

A spin-off that maintains the same quality as the two previous chapters, while refining itself to deliver a more visceral and brutal experience.

Dying Light: The Beast provides highly entertaining and engaging gameplay elements, but falters with its lackluster narrative and mundane visuals.
Dying Light: The Beast, the franchise's peak, offers brutal combat, a modest open world, and intense nighttime chases featuring Kyle Crane. Despite a weak villain, repetitive bosses, few new enemies, and bugs, it is the definitive experience for zombie fans.

If you loved DL2 for its systems, you may miss some of those, but for those who missed Crane-era action, this is a treat.
It’s clear that the studio still hasn’t returned to the form it lost somewhere around the release of Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Their latest title feels like a work heavily inspired by the cult classic from 2015 but at the same time produced by the same team that screwed up the sequel. The lack of fresh, successful gameplay ideas is very noticeable here.

This is a fun and entirely competent action game that will find both old and new fans thanks to its dedication to getting the basics right. It's a little unfocused, a little too in love with its own ideas, and many of its mechanics are so old they could have grandkids. But no other franchise out now delivers zombie thrills on this level, and certainly not with this kind of thought to making a fun experience with a lower barrier of entry.
A game that goes back to its roots incredibly well. Dying Light: The Beast captures the horror and survival horror RPG of the first game, and really helped to build where the future of the series is going.
Dying Light The Beast is recommended because it delivers on its promise to return the series to a darker, more tense, and brutal setting. It refines the foundations of the series and adds an interesting twist with the Beast System. This title will appeal to those who enjoyed the first Dying Light and anyone looking for an open-world survival horror game with personality. It's not perfect, but it is the most coherent and enjoyable installment.

Dying Light: The Beast is a strong comeback for the series after the disappointment of the second installment. The game offers a short but thrilling story filled with impactful characters, with gameplay that blends action, parkour, and horror, bringing back the terrifying nighttime atmosphere the series is known for. The open world is smaller in scale but carefully designed, rich with details and side quests. The graphics have reached the highest level in the series’ history, despite some technical issues and the absence of ray tracing at launch. It can be said that The Beast represents the most cohesive and satisfying experience for fans of the series since its very beginning.

Dying Light: The Beast succeeds in delivering fun based on the mechanics and gameplay style that made the series popular. However, it can't escape technical issues and the fact that it occasionally feels outdated.
