The game struggled when it had to render lots of zombies all at once. As for when things got a little busier or a little more chaotic, it wasn’t a pretty sight. It looks mostly passable when there’s not much action happening on the screen - though even when my character was simply walking down a mostly deserted street, there was still lots and lots of the environment popping into existence as he walked. In fact, that’s probably understating things.
Consequently, you probably won’t be shocked to hear that Dying Light doesn’t look so great here. I mean, as much as I love my Switch, I don’t think I’d call it a graphical powerhouse (unless we’re talking first-party games). This is probably not a huge surprise to anyone. And, unsurprisingly, virtually all of those issues come down to the game’s performance. That said, as good - or, arguably, as great - as the content is, Dying Light: Platinum Edition isn’t without some issues. Given that we’re talking about a pretty decent game, if you’re in the mood for horror, that’s a solid package. You get the original base game, plus all the DLC - including both The Following, which was practically a game unto itself, as well as Be The Zombie, which…honestly, isn’t as good, but still a fun little diversion. While it certainly has some issues, as my colleague Dustin noted six years ago when the game was first released, on the whole my way of thinking is closer to Benny’s: that if you’re in the mood for a zombie game with a lot of engaging content, this is it.Īs such, it should come as no surprise that there’s a lot of game to be found in Dying Light: Platinum Edition now that it’s on the Switch.
For the purposes of this review, let’s take it as a given that Dying Light is a very good game.
