Players have expressed a sense of nostalgia with the return to the game's original feel, especially noting the predictability of the story as a common critique. Technical issues like game crashes and vehicle implementation prompted some criticism, though the combat system and graphics consistently receive high praise. Many appreciate the game for re-capturing the series' iconic tension and horror, particularly at night, despite its flaws in the storyline and parkour mechanics.

Positive Points

  • The combat system is praised for its brutality and satisfying gameplay, with a variety of weapons and the addition of Beast Mode adding excitement.
  • The game successfully captures the atmosphere and tension akin to the original Dying Light, especially during night time, which is genuinely terrifying again.
  • The graphics and environmental design are highly commended, providing a beautiful and immersive world to explore.
  • Restored Land mode adds a fresh challenge, allowing players to clear zombies permanently, which adds a rewarding sense of progression.

    • Negative Points

  • The storyline is often criticized as being predictable, clichéd, and lacking depth, with many players feeling disconnected from the characters.
  • Technical issues persist, such as game crashes, bugs, and performance problems, especially in co-op modes.
  • Some players find the parkour and movement mechanics clunky and unresponsive, which can detract from the overall experience.
  • The skill tree is viewed as limited and less engaging compared to previous games, with Beast Mode being underwhelming for some.

    • Mixed Points

  • The introduction of vehicles has divided opinions; while some appreciate the added traversal method, others find the vehicles slow and less useful.
  • Beast Mode is seen as a fun mechanic but its implementation—often initially uncontrollable by players—is seen both as a point of frustration and as an exciting challenge.

    • Common Themes

  • Many reviews compare Dying Light: The Beast to the original game, with a general consensus that it returns more closely to the franchise's roots than Dying Light 2.
  • The concept of clearing zombies permanently in Restored Land mode is largely praised for enhancing immersion and gameplay satisfaction.
  • There is a sentiment that the game, while fun and engaging, feels more like an expanded DLC than a full standalone game.
