Compared to previous *Dying Light* games, *Dying Light: The Beast* features a less crowded open world. While the series has always focused on city environments, this new installment includes more open areas for players to explore. This change actually creates a unique and beautiful perspective.

However, in *Dying Light: The Beast*, this ability – called Beast Mode – feels less like a core combat feature and more like a safety net.
