"The much-anticipated third installment" Dying Light: The Beast is a bold and exciting return to the Techland series, combining tense horror with a bloody and innovative combat system, and stunning graphics that elevate immersion. The game delivers the experience fans have been waiting for for years and proves that Techland still knows how to craft survival horror in its own right.

Dying Light: The Beast represents a welcome return to form, with a more focused narrative and improved parkour mechanics that harken back to the original game's strengths. While it forgoes advanced graphical features like ray tracing and suffers from a generic villain, the game's polished gameplay, solid performance, and satisfying core loop make it a worthwhile experience for fans of the series.
There are a few minor issues: we encountered a few bugs, and the experience penalty for dying can be frustrating. Are these bothersome? Considering the overall package: not at all. After the second installment, Techland identified exactly where they went wrong and fixed it with The Beast. We can absolutely accept that the story isn't particularly spectacular and that many of the missions are repetitive, because this is the best open-world zombie game in years. Fans of the first installment should run to the store like crazy. Do it during the day, though, because the nights are too exciting for now.

Dying Light: The Beast feels like the proper sequel fans have been waiting for all this time. While the new additions aren't amazing, the established facets of the game have been improved, making it a return to form.
Dying Light: The Beast is neither an expansion nor a sequel. However, it is another good opportunity for an extremely spectacular extermination of zombies in a beautiful, open world of reasonable size.
Dying Light: The Beast is the promised sequel we were all waiting for. Its new combat additions make fighting more enjoyable and visceral, while Castor Woods provides not only the best setting of the franchise but also the ultimate post-apocalyptic parkour sandbox.
A great sequel to and already amazing story
Despite minor flaws, "The Beast" impresses with its clear structure, exciting story, and challenging action. Fans of the series will enjoy a successful adventure, while newcomers will get an intensive introduction to the world of "Dying Light."

Dying Light: The Beast is simply astounding, and I’m actively seeking out my second walkthrough. The revelations I uncovered have me dramatically excited for what’s to come, and I’d bet my last dollar you’ll walk away from this game feeling the same thing.
“Dying Light: The Beast” is a sequel that successfully captures Techland’s signature grimy and eerie hostile environment. The new gameplay systems and neatly refined narrative are satisfying, but for an open-world game, it somewhat lacks the motivation to keep players engaged over the long term.

Dying Light: The Beast successfully returns to the roots of the series and will particularly delight fans of the first instalment. Kyle Crane once again takes centre stage, whose story is told in the dark, atmospheric world of Castor Woods - exciting, albeit straightforward.

As a sequel, Dying Light: The Beast succeeds in expanding on the foundations laid by its predecessors in ways that feel meaningful and player-minded.
The Dying Light series is now complete thanks to The Beast, which unleashes the continuation of our hero Kyle’s story as he seeks revenge to preserve his honour. It’s a remarkable tale and an adventure filled with horror and emotion, set in a devastated yet richly detailed world, with the same enjoyable gameplay the series is known for. This is how we experienced Kyle’s journey: the enraged beast, thirsty for revenge for the sake of humanity and dignity! Unleash revenge! Unleash the beast!

Top-tier movement and combat elevate a decent story into something worth your time.
During my 20-hour excursion to Castor Woods, I had a lot of fun with the game. The parkour system is the best and smoothest of its kind. The melee combat is wonderfully intense and brutal. The game's open world is full of activities, and the side missions in particular are exciting. Unfortunately, despite the excellent gameplay foundation, a feeling of saturation sets in as the game progresses. The missions push the game mechanics to their limits with lots of repetition and lengthy gameplay sequences. The bigger problem, however, is the annoying bugs that bother me, especially later in the game. They are the reason why I advise you to wait for a round of patches before you dive into the brutal zombie adventure with Kyle Crane.
