Dying Light PS version | Not Dying Light 2! ｜

The old man born in 1967 decided to play for the first time from the old work even though the new work was released. Those who were fans of this work will be fully enjoying the new work by this time. I’m stingy, it’s a style that touches the series from cheap old works. 😁

It’s still about 10 hours of play, but I’d like to introduce a part of the beginning of the game, including what I felt. It would be greatly appreciated if it could be used as a reference for those who are worried about playing.

Let’s do the first Dying Light!

Dying Light PS version | First person zombie game

“Dying Light” is a work that has been praised and played by many players from the time of its release to the present. Therefore, there is a great expectation for the new work, and there is an era background that the long-awaited second release was released on February 4, 2022 for Dying Light fans.

I knew “Dying Light” myself, but I was reluctant because I was not good at first-person perspective. Recently, by playing Skyrim SE, I became accustomed to the first-person perspective, and I decided to touch on the first generation of the super popular game “Dying Light”.

What is Dying Light?

For those who don’t know Dying Light, I would like to introduce a little. This work is an open world action survival craft zombie game from a first-person perspective released by “Warner Entertainment Japan” on April 16, 2015.

The story progresses in a quest format by operating a man dispatched to carry out a certain mission in a city where evil zombies roam. Of course, there are also subquests that arise from conversations with NPCs.

By using the day and night cycle and using the aggravating zombies, the player is given a sense of urgency.

Personally consider why Dying Light is so popular

This work incorporates many elements that will immerse the player. Character training using skill trees, materials and blueprints (for strengthening weapons) existing on the map, drop items when zombies are defeated, crafting weapons and items, etc. It contains ideas that will make you do it.

I personally felt that the following factors were the reasons why Dying Light became so popular.

① Transportation that incorporates parkour

Even if you are unfamiliar with the movement at first, if you get used to parkour, you can run around the city in a refreshing manner.

② Collect materials to create / modify / repair weapons and craft items

By making the weapon a consumable specification, the importance of planning is added to the sense of urgency.

③ Online multiplayer support

In addition to capturing quests in co-op play, you can also enjoy 4 to 1 hunting side and hunting side play such as DBD (Dead by Daylight).

A brief introduction to the beginning of the game

The main character, Kyle Crane, is hired by the GRE (Church of World Messianity) and the game starts with a parachute descent into the infected city of Haran to retrieve top secret documents from a person named Kadir Suleiman.

In other words, the player seems to control Kyle Crane and advance the story.

Injuries and infections early on

Immediately after the descent, he was injured by being entangled by three armed groups. Immediately attacked by zombies, the left arm was bitten. Amir and Jade who appeared there will help, but Amir who tried to prevent the pursuit of zombies on the way to escape will die.

Awakening

Crane wakes up with the noise of a child. From here, you can actually operate Crane and enjoy the world of Dying Light.

The place where I woke up was a building called a tower, where many survivors were trying to survive, fighting zombies and trying to get supplies. Among them, the infected survivors seem to be called by number.

Always check the upper right of the screen

As I mentioned earlier, the story progresses in a quest format. The purpose and location of the quest will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, so it is unlikely that you will lose track of it.

Markers in the minimap at the top right of the screen often have additional small arrows. This shows the height difference of the open world, and if the arrow is up, it is higher than the current location, and if the arrow is down, it is lower.

In addition, it is possible to determine the location of the infected person and whether or not he / she is aware of it. It is a good idea to make it a habit to always keep an eye on the mini-map, especially when traveling in dangerous areas.

Tutorial-like quest

The first main story quest, Awakening, is a tutorial element that traverses the tower. Learn to collect materials and craft to help survivors on the infected dangerous floor.

After helping Mark on the 13th floor, I’m going to have a little quarrel between Jade and Raheem. Here, it becomes clear that the cheeky little brother Raheem is Jade’s younger brother who saved him. It doesn’t matter, but I personally like Jade.

Next, you will learn parkour movement from Raheem. The place where I was called to come to the gym is the rooftop. Even if Raheem told me to come early, I was confused at first where I was.

When observing the surroundings, the arrow guides me halfway. If you follow the yellow crane, you can reach Raheem.

When you talk to Raheem, you are forced to follow Raheem who jumps from an impossible height. From here, it will be the part to learn parkour. If you do not climb the crane even if you reach the goal, you can practice for weeks until you get used to it.

Onset

As you try to cross the crane to return to the tower, the initial symptoms of infection from being bitten by an infected person appear. From here, the production, a quest set in the world open world outside the tower is waiting.

Outside the tower

Infected people seem to be taking a suppressant called Antidin to control their symptoms. Antigin seems to be included in the supplies dropped from the sky, and it seems that those who arrive at the supplies collect them and bring them back to the group to which they belong.

It seems that the goods collected in the first-come-first-served style are collected at the risk of a person called a runner.

You will be taken to a safe area near the tower to receive Antidin. In the outside world, there are items in various places. It seems good to carry out the quest while exploring with the feeling of collecting everything that can be collected.

Items include parts, weapons, and cash needed for crafting and weapon repair. There are many chests that need to be unlocked, and the difficulty of unlocking is also set. It is also fun to craft picking metal fittings by yourself and unlock the chest.

Going around in the city

Infected people said they were taking Antidin to control their symptoms, but the zombies that flock to the city are the end of those who couldn’t. In the early stages, there are only slow-moving zombies, but as the story progresses, various violent zombies will appear.

Even if you say that the movement is slow, when you stop, it will gather in a blink of an eye. If you are surrounded by the ground, you will die in a blink of an eye. It is not a game that can be knocked down like a grasshopper like a warriors game.

・ Minimal battle aimed at escape without trying to defeat everything

・ Escape to high places immediately after predicting death

・ Weapons are consumables, be careful during continuous battles

Zombies also go wild at night. One way is to crouch down and wait until morning on a balcony at a high place such as an abandoned building.

Get an antigin

After having Doctasere administer Antidin, the game will finally start. Currently, I have released some skills and have become accustomed to the game.

thoughts

If you like action games and don’t have first-person sickness, I think it’s a good idea to play. It will die with a little carelessness or a treat, so it is recommended for those who like death games like me.

Weapons are consumables and can only be repaired a limited number of times. The main parts for repair are found in the field or dismantled and obtained from weapons.

My first impression is that the work is packed with immersive elements such as crafting and strengthening items and weapons, releasing skill trees to train characters, and earning survival points at high-risk nights.

You can see why it’s so popular by playing.
