Is this worth trying as someone who didn't enjoy Dead Island?

If the only thing you didn't like about doing light was the lack of parkour, then no.

Depends on what you didn't like about Dead Island

I hated dead island but I bought this game not knowing the same devs made it and Dying Light is my personal GOTY. It's really intuitive and really fun. Great game

Came here to post something similar. Dead Island was garbage but Dying Light was fun as hell

Backing up these anons, wasn't even on my radar and turned out to be a quality game.

Dying Light is honestly pretty underrated. Easily a Top 5 game of the year.

100% this. I loved the game, always had something new to offer during the whole playthrough.

Cheers lads, it turns out there's a demo anyway so I'll give it a shot. Hope I enjoy it.

I didn't like dead island because the weapon durability was a pain in the butthole and they nerfed the kick. Will I like this?

>weapon durability
You can repair it on the field with one button, 4 repair limit on purple weapons will last you forever, plus you can reset repair limit by doing an escort side quest. Weapons with 3 repairs you just throw away and get any other that laying around.
>and they nerfed the kick
No they didn't. It wasn't as strong as dark messiah one to begin with. Dropkick on the other hand is though, and it's still as powerful as ever.

Yes, it's on my personal GOTY top 10.

Oh, i assumed you were talking about DL, nvm >>322287295 then

Yes, it is much, much better than Dead Island. Good gameplay, the le parkour is intuitive when you get used to it, and the writing is occasionally, actually very good.

For instance, at the start you are working for le cliche mysterious and sinister govt agency who asks you to do increasingly dubious things

rather than follow them blindly for the greater good, the MC eventually just tells them to go fuck themselves

It actually happens pretty early on and after like only the first time they pull bullshit

I really enjoy the gameplay but thought the story was pure shit, could guess most of it
