The rest of the supporting cast that Crane befriends are much more interesting, as some real emotion begins to shine through between Crane and the other survivors, but it too falls short of becoming completely engrossing mainly because of Crane's whiney performance. Crane's interactions with the GRE feel painfully strained, though they are fortunately infrequent as Crane spends most of his time assisting the survivors of Harran. Though it's a significant change from Dead Island's 'Who Do You Voodoo' vacation outbreak tone, Dying Light gives the impression that it's trying way too hard to create a serious narrative with underlying tones of conspiracy and moral choices. Keeping undercover, Crane befriends a large encampment of survivors, whereupon it becomes difficult for him to choose between his new friends and his mission for the GRE. Instructions are doled out by them through a satellite phone that keeps Crane in the dark, tasking him with destroying research pertaining to a cure. The GRE fits the bill as the shadowy organization that could be at the center of the outbreak itself. The file, which details sensitive information about the virus and the GRE, is vital to the GRE as the warlord Rais is using it to blackmail them. Playing as Kyle Crane, a black ops mercenary hired by the Global Relief Effort (GRE), you're tasked with retrieving a file from a radical politician turned maniacally violent warlord in the wake of the virus outbreak. My initial impression of Dying Light was that the tone of the game, when compared to Dead Island, was much darker and more serious.

But are the additions of a day/night cycle and parkour enough to differentiate the game from its spiritual predecessor? instead, developer Techland has sought to improve upon its open world zombie action RPG formula with a brand new IP, called Dying Light. Having relinquished Dead Island to Deep Silver and partnered with Warner Bros. Braining the undead with a grab bag of weapons that could be modified provided hours of open world fun, but the game was admittedly plagued with game-breaking bugs, a lack of difficulty, and a plot that was wholly uninteresting. While the first person melee combat was anything but revolutionary, it was a refreshing change of pace from the complete oversaturation of the FPS genre in the industry today. I really liked Dead Island, despite all of its flaws. There are more and more Virals in the city.By Chris Matulich, posted on 23 February 2015 / 5,428 Views The GRE is cutting Harran off-the air drop rates are now decreased. The survivors in protection suits have become infected with the Harran virus and are now hostile! Spike will help you with all he has, upgrading your weapon first into the Spark Plug with an electricity mode, and then into the Alternator-an even stronger variant-though it’s you who must face the hell out there. Even the protection suits don’t seem to be enough to stop the infection now. But be quick! No GRE supplies means no more medications, and Virals are growing in numbers really fast. Collect them, and bring them to Spike, so he could start the preparations. Scarce as they are now, the airdrops are their only chance to escape.

Spike can get some of the remaining survivors out of the city, but they won’t make it without resources. We’ve been holding on for so long, and we’ll hold on until the end. But if there’s one thing we don’t do in Harran, it’s giving up. Just as we thought we had this mess under control… The GRE have deemed our battle a lost cause-we’re an exclusion zone now.
