The pc gaming forum seem to be loving it - when they're not complaining about the frames per second

I'll be picking this up either when it drops in price a bit, or when it's released physical. It looks like dead island but better, the controls also look less janky. Hated the controls on dead island!

Aye we are, haha. Honestly its a huge improvement over dead island. I'd say they used that game as a base model and improved pretty much every aspect of it. I was really surprised with the movement. It works just like it was shown in the trailers before release.

Took the plunge, did the US gift card trick. Bought the gift card/s for £35 and used Google Chrome to change xbox.com to EN US, redeemed code and game downloading.

I couldn't wait until end of Feb to play!

Critic reviews seem....ok. User revies of this game seem awesome.

I'll be buying either this or Far Cry 4.

Have played both (PC), great games IMO, if I could only have one, it'd be Dying Light.

Haha, there's not so much love in here for the game it seems! Probably because the digital Psn price is extortionate

I played a few hours of dead island but never really clicked with it. Can't wait to grab this

unfortunately I don't have a pc powerful enough to play it or I'd buy it on that.

Really enjoying Dying Light. Being out at night time is very intense

I could not wait any longer ended up getting this on pc

Ended up buying this on PSN due to issues on PC making it really hard to get into. Got to say it looks stunning on PS4 as well, only now there is no weird lag issues. Smooth game-play, graphics are amazing imho. First game I've looked at and genuinely thought it looks next gen. Hard to be believe a cheap (relatively) console can put out graphics like this.

Co Op is good fun, although all having to reach checkpoints at the same time to advance can be a chore as usually teammate is to busy smashing Zombies heads in

Really impressed with this game.

Thus far, this game is definitely a favourite for me.

Despite the occasional bugs:

1) Climbing up an antenna and this happens:

2) HAZMAT Miming Zombie

3) The Sliding/Proposing Survivor

Only the first one being annoying, otherwise, the game's glitches are light entertainment during the day whilst my brother and I drop bricks during our night ventures. It does seem to past quickly during the night though!

Apparently half way through the game, there's a bigger map?

Awesome game, great start to the year.

So many good games this year, literally won't have time to play them all..

The Order, Witcher 3, Zelda, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Fable Legends, Homefront: The Revolution, Gran Turismo 7, Until Dawn, Fortnite, Telltale's Game of Thrones (rest of the season), Splatoon, Quantum Break, Star Fox, Evolve, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege, Star Wars Battlefront, No Man's Sky, Bloodborne, Tom Clancy's The Division, Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Batman: Arkham Knight..

This is shaping up to be the best year of gaming releases ever imho. I will probably get time to finish about 3 of these games

Dying Light is first priority with whatever free time I get lol, then Witcher 3 !

Can't believe this isn't getting more love in the console forums. The game is great. Hopefully things will pick up when the physical copies start to ship later in the month.

Mobius 1 · 3 Feb 2015 at 11:31

I'm waiting for the physical copy. I really want it now, but I'm not willing to pay 54 beer tokens for it.

Roll on the end of the month.

blitzwing85 · 3 Feb 2015 at 13:05

Yup I've got it on order for physical release too. Only £39 and none of my mates are getting it digital, and neither me or my wife have much free time right now anyway so all in all might as well wait.

On the other hand - if I get it digital I won't have to get 2 copies to play co-op with the wife as we can both play it via 1 purchase. The plan was to rent the 2nd copy but I've cancelled boomerang anyway now. (or thought I had...guess they decided NOT to cancel it...but will be)

I'll decide when I have some free time to actually play it!

Mull3t · 3 Feb 2015 at 13:21

I ordered mine digitally from US store, actually worked out at £33. I just couldn't wait for the physical.

Amazing game, took a hour or so to get to.grips with the controls.

Rybo89 · 3 Feb 2015 at 13:51

So it is just dead island?

Freeroam, makeshift tools and zombies? Think i might try it out. Guessing you can only bu online at the moment, going by the above comments? What a stupid decision.

Andr3w · 3 Feb 2015 at 21:43

This game is awesome. First 2-3 hours is a bit...meh...then it becomes strangely addictive!

Really really enjoying it.

I like the second clip.

Definitely plan on picking this up sometime. Loved dead island.

I'll get this when physical release is here. Need the trade in value

They actually delayed the physical copies for a reason, a lot of the female zombies in the original version were wearing hijabs. Then the attacks in France happened, and the publisher decided to pull them from the game, hence the delay.

Stupid decision? Guess that's up for debate.

JBeck · 4 Feb 2015 at 10:17

Would really like this but £55? Ouch...
