Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Let’s Play on Geek Node This week I will be playing Dying Light on the PS4. Due to some technical difficulties with my capture device killing itself the video was recorded using the built in function on the PlayStation 4.Developed by Techland it was released January 2015 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Unfortunately the planned release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 was cancelled since the hardware could not keep up. Fans of Dead Island, also by Techland, will definitely enjoy Dying Light.

This is not what you expected when you got in the city.

You assume the role of Kyle Crane, who is sent to the city of Harran, to find Kadir Suleiman. He is a political figure gone rogue and has a file that could destroy the Global Relief Effort. After you are airdropped you find yourself ambushed, firing your gun to defend yourself. This causes the infected to attack and you are bitten, luckily you are rescued by Jade and Amir. Amir sacrifices himself to buy you and Jade time to get away. You wake up in their sanctuary known as the Tower, Jade’s brother Rahim teaches you parkour and after this, you are sent out on your first mission.

The game is an open world game with a zombie apocalypse theme. Using the parkour movement mechanics, the player must traverse the expansive urban environment. But you must take care, as some of the roofs will collapse when you walk on them, the noise from the collapse will draw the infected to you. Luckily, even though the infected population is quite dense, not all of them can climb and you can always use some firecrackers to draw them away.

Blood everywhere is never good.

There is also an extensive crafting and scavenging system where the player can find new blueprints and craft some very creative weapons. Melee weapons do have to be repaired and only have a limited number of times they can be repaired. Guns are available, but you will only find them about half way through the game. The good news is they don’t break or become unusable but ammo is scarce. The gun customization options are limited compared to melee weapons, which may pose a problem, as you will see.

That’s all for this week guys. Until next time, hope you enjoy the video.

Blood everywhere is never good.

Zombies can carry valuable items, remember to loot them.

Use your hunter vision to locate loot able items. It will also show you where your current objective is.

Kyle Crane on a crane, OK enough bad jokes. Just don’t look down.

The high road is always safer. Unless you want to die quickly.

I'm 35 obsessed with anything gaming and technology related. Staying in a quiet town does have its drawbacks as we don't have the fastest internet, but that wont stop me from enjoying my passion for gaming. Just a quick shout out to my lovely wife who supports my dreams and my friends and all the crazy moments we have encountered in games.
