Germany is known for its strict censorship rules around video games, often banning games that include gory or realistic violence and Nazi symbolism. Following an examination by the BPjM, the Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors in Germany, the game was found to be harmful to young people and was later banned from circulation in the country. Due to the game's high-impact gory violence, the USK (responsible for video game ratings in Germany) didn't approve the game.
DYING LIGHT SWITCH RELEASE CODE
Techland provided us with a Dying Light: Platinum Edition Switch code for review purposes.Dying Light was banned in Germany when it was first released in 2015. There aren?t really any other games like this on the Switch, so as long as you?re okay with - or at least willing to tolerate - visuals that pale in comparison to how they look elsewhere, then you?re in for one of the last gen?s best zombie games. At the same time, however, viewing Dying Light as a game where combat matters probably does it a disservice - this is a survival horror game, after all, and the game basically wants you to run away from zombies, not straight into them.Īnd from that perspective, Dying Light: Platinum Edition, with its lengthy playtime and tonnes of DLC, gives you ample opportunity to do that. For example, the combat here is awfully repetitive, since you?re usually just armed with a pipe (or some other blunt instrument), and you just whack away at whatever zombies get nearby. Whatever other issues there are here come down to personal preference. Seeing as we?re talking about a game set in a world overrun by zombies…well, you probably get the picture. The game struggled when it had to render lots of zombies all at once. As for when things got a little busier or a little more chaotic, it wasn?t a pretty sight. It looks mostly passable when there?s not much action happening on the screen - though even when my character was simply walking down a mostly deserted street, there was still lots and lots of the environment popping into existence as he walked. In fact, that?s probably understating things. Consequently, you probably won?t be shocked to hear that Dying Light doesn?t look so great here. I mean, as much as I love my Switch, I don?t think I?d call it a graphical powerhouse (unless we?re talking first-party games). This is probably not a huge surprise to anyone. And, unsurprisingly, virtually all of those issues come down to the game?s performance. That said, as good - or, arguably, as great - as the content is, Dying Light: Platinum Edition isn?t without some issues.
Given that we?re talking about a pretty decent game, if you?re in the mood for horror, that?s a solid package.
DYING LIGHT SWITCH RELEASE PLUS
You get the original base game, plus all the DLC - including both The Following, which was practically a game unto itself, as well as Be The Zombie, which…honestly, isn?t as good, but still a fun little diversion. While it certainly has some issues, as my colleague Dustin noted six years ago when the game was first released, on the whole my way of thinking is closer to Benny?s: that if you?re in the mood for a zombie game with a lot of engaging content, this is it.Īs such, it should come as no surprise that there?s a lot of game to be found in Dying Light: Platinum Edition now that it?s on the Switch. For the purposes of this review, let?s take it as a given that Dying Light is a very good game.
