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 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.

Dying Light: The Beast is a return to the zombie-slaughter, parkour-jumping form we needed, and it never disappoints. From huge hordes to new enemies, human and not, it’ll not only have you running for your life, but desperately seeking out shelter in a way the franchise has been missing for a while. Horror fan? Zombie fan? Parkour fan? All-out-carnage fan? You won’t regret getting Techland’s latest offering. HOURS PLAYED: 29 PLAYED ON: PS5 - Visceral combat with an added onus on gunplay. - Claustrophobic, terrifying and utterly unnerving night time play returns. - The new Beast Mode powers offer a new aspect to the gameplay that'll be hard to ignore going forward. - Parkour can be frustrating if you're not paying attention, with it being far too easy to fall. - Without spamming your Survivor Sense, it can be awkward to travel to where you need to, especially indoors. Dying Light: The Beast is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For more Thumb Wars, don’t hesitate to go and check out our review of Borderlands 4, or our interview with Chris Stone, Ready or Not General Manager. Luke Addison is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Thumb Wars.
