The problem with Dead Island and Riptide is what came next: after you'd leveled up enough of your skills and acquired enough weapons, making it through the endless sea of zombies became less of a challenge. Since they weren't able to offer new challenges in turn, the invigorating "fight or flight" dynamic in each game was replaced by hours and hours of bland, repetitive zombie-killing.

At times, it seems like Dying Light might be the game Techland was hoping it would be. It’s got some great ideas and a great setting that bring new life to overplayed subject matter. The climbing and vertical navigation are in a class of their own. But Techland’s attention and focus on the undead distracts from the things that Dying Light does well, and it’s all spread far too thin.
