Techland’s newest zombie game, Dying Light: The Beast, is receiving the best reviews of any main game in the series so far. Released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on September 18th after a brief delay, the game quickly earned positive feedback from critics. Many reviewers agree that Dying Light: The Beast is a significant improvement and a return to the quality of earlier installments, especially after some criticism of the previous game.
Techland achieved great success with *Dead Island* in 2011 and followed it up with the original *Dying Light* just four years later. Although *Dead Island 2* was eventually developed by Dambuster Studios, Techland continued to build on the popular *Dying Light* series. While *Dying Light 2* received better reviews than the first game, player reactions were mixed. The sequel improved the series’ impressive parkour and combat, but many fans found the story, side quests, and voice acting to be lacking. However, the return of Kyle Crane in *Dying Light: The Beast* seems to be something fans will really enjoy.
The Beast Is the Best Reviewed Dying Light Game So Far
Critics have shared their reviews for *Dying Light: The Beast*, and it’s getting a lot of positive attention. According to Metacritic, this new installment is actually the highest-rated main *Dying Light* game so far. The original *Dying Light* received a score of 74, and *Dying Light 2* improved slightly to 76. Now, *The Beast* is leading the pack with a current Metacritic score of 78. While this score could change as more reviews are published, it looks like *The Beast* is on track to be the best-received game in the series yet.
Picking up 13 years after the events of *Dying Light: The Following* (which received a Metacritic score of 79), *The Beast* is a new installment in the *Dying Light* series. Josh Cotts from Game Rant highlighted *The Beast*’s stunning open world, compelling story and side quests, excellent parkour, and innovative beast mode. George Foster of The Gamer agreed, calling the story the best in the series so far.
The new game, *The Beast*, is shaping up to be a standout addition to the *Dying Light* series, and fans are already wondering what Techland will do next. Fortunately, the studio has confirmed they’re already brainstorming ideas for a fourth *Dying Light* game. While it’s probably still a long way off, Techland says they consistently come up with new concepts and discuss them frequently.
