One of the latest versions of the game is Dying Light Platinum Edition v1.43.2-GOG, which includes the base game and all DLCs and updates released so far, as well as some exclusive bonuses from GOG.com, a digital distribution platform that offers DRM-free games and other benefits.

In this article, we will review this version of the game in detail, covering its features, pros and cons, verdict, and FAQs.

Dying Light is a survival horror game that is played from a first-person perspective. The game is set in an open-world environment called Harran; initially, an area named the Slums can be freely explored, later adding a second area called Old Town.

The game’s story follows an undercover agent named Kyle Crane who is sent to infiltrate a quarantine zone in a Middle-eastern city called Harran. It features an enemy-infested city with a dynamic day-night cycle, in which zombies are slow and clumsy during daytime but become extremely aggressive at night.

The gameplay is focused on weapons-based combat and free-running movements, allowing the player to traverse the urban environment using parkour skills. The player can use various weapons, such as knives, pipes, axes, and guns, to fight enemies, and can craft new weapons and items using scavenged materials. The player can also use environmental traps, such as spikes and electric fences, to kill or incapacitate enemies.

The game features a progression system that allows the player to improve their skills and abilities in three categories: survivor, agility, and power. The survivor rank affects the player’s crafting abilities and access to new items; the agility rank affects the player’s movement speed and parkour skills; and the power rank affects the player’s combat proficiency and damage output. The game also features a stamina system that limits the player’s actions such as running, jumping, and attacking.

The game has a dynamic weather system that changes the environment and affects the gameplay. For example, rain can make the surfaces slippery and reduce visibility, while fog can obscure distant objects and enemies. The game also has a day-night cycle that alters the behavior of enemies and the availability of resources. During the day, the player can scavenge for supplies, complete quests, and interact with other survivors; during the night, the player must avoid or fight more dangerous enemies, such as the fast and agile Volatiles, who can chase the player over buildings and are only vulnerable to UV light.
