The comparisons in the video should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect but to my mind, the cuts feel somehow different than certain other Switch conversions we've tested - overall, it looks and feels good, certainly in handheld play. The thing is, all of the features and gameplay complexities are preserved and elements like loading times are actually comparable. In fact, in my tests, the Switch version had faster loading than the PS4 game. So, it's obvious that the Switch port doesn't fully match the prior console release and that should be expected, but I like many of the decisions Techland has made here. It's clear this must have been a very technically challenging conversion to pull off: it's a game doing things the Switch really isn't designed to do, but it does actually work well. Dying Light performance is uncapped on Switch, often running at circa 30-36fps. A 30fps cap would reduce instability. Anyway, I think it looks very good, and I'm not used to 4k tv's or anything, haven't even seen a PS5, for all I know its very existence is a lie. Wii U kind of made me want to return to handheld-only gaming with its gamepad, Switch completed that. To me, it's just handheld gaming that slowly evolves (and some games that look better than anything I played before that I love despite not being their best running version; some that look terrible, whether that is because they're lazy ports of beautiful games or just bad looking games, I don't care, I don't compare).

Now you can enjoy Dying Light to the fullest with the richest version of the acclaimed open world zombie survival game. Containing four DLCs and seventeen skin bundles, Dying Light: Platinum Edition brings together everything you need to explore all the post-apocalyptic world has to offer. Drive across Harran, as you spread carnage in your buggy, face and survive Bozak’s trials, explore new quarantine zones, and enjoy plenty of new skins and weapons! Dying Light places you in the role of Kyle Crane, a member of an organization called the Global Relief Effort which is evidently aimed at curbing the issues that sprung out of the zombie pandemic. We start with Kyle performing a HALO jump into the city of Harran—which has been wholly overrun by zombies—in search of a man who’s believed to have files related to a potential cure for the infection. Of course, things don’t exactly go according to plan, and Kyle is almost immediately bitten, but he’s saved by a local coalition of survivors and soon joins their ranks as a ‘Scout’ who runs supplies around town. Dying Light may not feature a particularly memorable or gripping narrative, but the story still strikes the right tone and doesn’t much get in the way of the enjoyable gameplay. Is the Switch the best way to enjoy Dying Light: Platinum Edition? Of course not. If you have a PS4, Xbox One or PC and wish to play the game on a big screen, there’s nothing here to tempt you away. You’ll find better textures, visual effects and performance on all of those formats. If you don’t have any of those formats or want to play Dying Light: Platinum Edition on the move, though, there’s nothing about the Switch version that should put you off. The weapon system has always been one of my favourite aspects. You can take something as basic as a gas pipe and turn it into a formidable bit of kit that can take down just about any foe in front of you. However, just because you can buff it up doesn’t necessarily mean you should. The game has a relatively deep crafting system, and you need to manage your resources wisely – especially if you hate yourself and choose nightmare difficulty.XenoShaun No one, never, should have the power to dictate, be they a company, an individual, or a corporation. If they call themselves state or government or leaders or masters or whatever, it makes absolutely no sense that the will of some can overpower that of others. Actually, under human rights, it can't. And every EU member state signed them. I've been trying to communicate with the government here, making it clear that I in no way ever voluntarily and knowingly signed to subordinate my volition, my freedom and equality, to their 'authority', which by definition makes them tyrants and slavers. Call it 'voting' and 'democracy', it doesn't change a thing. If majority dictates, minority is oppressed. And here we're all minorities. 'Divide and conquer', not 'live and let live'. Yeah, I know, those were cheap to develop separate versions, not ports, and Switch is in that area where developing for it isn't that cheap anymore, but porting to it is not always easy.

Tell that to someone who didn't play Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare and Perfect Dark on GBC and Kill.Switch, Max Payne, and Rogue Spear on GBA and still to this day remember them as great games. Not even counting the many DS versions of other games. While weapons come in very useful during your Harran exploits, Crane’s biggest asset is his athleticism. With the city streets full of zombies, it’s safer to get around via rooftops. And so, your ability to run, jump and climb with finesse is a boon to your survival. You can enhance Crane’s abilities throughout the course of the game, too, allowing him to further run rings around his adversaries, or more easily put them down.Due to nature of content," Uncy_Techland revealed, "the digital version... is currently banned in Germany where European eShop is officially registered.
