Dying Light resurrected the flagging zombie genre with realistic parkour, frantic combat, and a horde of undead worthy of fear. We take a look at Dying Light and its expansion, The Following to determine not only why people loved this game, but why it enamoured me on a personal level. We'll rip out the guts of this engrossing experience to see what makes it tick. Or growl.
