It is also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. This review is based on a Nintendo Switch copy of Dying Light: Platinum Edition provided by Stride PR for coverage purposes. It really is the kind of experience the Switch was made for. If you have played this before, you absolutely owe it to yourself to try this in handheld mode. If you only have a Switch, and this is your first time playing, you will not be disappointed. It feels like the same game and at no point did I feel like I was missing out. I would even go so far as to say it’s one of the best ports to Switch that you can get at this point. While slightly muddied because of the textures, I had no issues looking out and planning my best route through the streets or over the rooftops.īeing a fan of Dying Light and having spent a lot of time with it on another console, I was honestly shocked at how good this port is. Draw distance is as good as I remember it being on the PlayStation. Climbing up to a high point to get my bearings, I was impressed at just how good this port is. Playing on handheld actually felt better from a graphics perspective just due to the smaller screen. When playing the game docked and on my TV, it was apparent if you were looking for it but never detracted from the experience of the game. There are some prices to pay in regards to the texture quality, which is to be expected when running something like this on the Switch. I also played in handheld mode and felt that the Joy-Cons were acceptable but not quite as good. The controls are tight and feel great with the Pro Controller in hand. It doesn't start out like thatthere's a few long hours before. Even with hordes chasing me, it ran butter smooth. Dying Light 2 is a huge and exhilarating playground for crunchy, kinetic, two-footed combat and satisfying first-person parkour. It ran at what I would say feels like 30 fps and did so regardless of how many zombies I had on the screen at a time. I was extremely impressed that during my time with Dying Light I did not experience a single hiccup in performance. Any slowdowns or frame drops could be a disaster and send you back to the loading screen. Dying Light 2: Setting, performance, and sound Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) One thing that really stood out about the original Dying Light was the quality. Pulling off the moves requires good timing and smooth controls, something I was initially worried about when porting this to the Switch. The crazy parkour moves with hordes of zombies chasing you make it feel very frantic at times. While it does have a story, it’s the action and feel of the game that pulls you in. The Platinum Edition includes all the DLC and Expansion content that has been released and will keep you busy for 100s of hours. I believe it to be one of the best zombie games ever created. At this point everyone pretty much knows about the game. Rather than review the gameplay, I am going to review how it plays on the Switch. How well does this work? Can the Switch Pull It Off? It’s a great game on the Xbox and PlayStations of the world, but it has now been shrunk down and fit onto the Nintendo Switch. It is best described as a zombie parkour game that also has a bit of action-RPG elements to it in regards to building your skills. Dying Light was originally released in 2015.
