Dying Light Platinum Edition for Nintendo Switch

Product Information

The good news is, Dying Light: Platinum Edition on Switch isn’t something you should avoid. Well, unless the idea of being let loose in an open world full of zombies doesn’t appeal to you. Of course, concessions have been made to get the game running on a device that has such little power compared to other consoles on the market, but they don’t compromise the core experience. Yeah, I know, those were cheap to develop separate versions, not ports, and Switch is in that area where developing for it isn't that cheap anymore, but porting to it is not always easy. This review of Dying Light: Platinum Edition is based on the Switch version, with a code provided by the game’s publisher. It’s available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.

Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame.XenoShaun No one, never, should have the power to dictate, be they a company, an individual, or a corporation. If they call themselves state or government or leaders or masters or whatever, it makes absolutely no sense that the will of some can overpower that of others. Actually, under human rights, it can't. And every EU member state signed them. I've been trying to communicate with the government here, making it clear that I in no way ever voluntarily and knowingly signed to subordinate my volition, my freedom and equality, to their 'authority', which by definition makes them tyrants and slavers. Call it 'voting' and 'democracy', it doesn't change a thing. If majority dictates, minority is oppressed. And here we're all minorities. 'Divide and conquer', not 'live and let live'. Though no matter what difficulty you play, levelling up your stats is vital. There are three different categories, one centres on your parkour skills, another improves combat capability, while the last ups your chances of survival through increasing attributes such as your health and crafting capabilities. It would be fair to say that it’s a system done right, as you level up each section through either free-running, fighting, or crafting, meaning you have to do the very activity you’re trying to improve.

Anyway, I think it looks very good, and I'm not used to 4k tv's or anything, haven't even seen a PS5, for all I know its very existence is a lie. Wii U kind of made me want to return to handheld-only gaming with its gamepad, Switch completed that. To me, it's just handheld gaming that slowly evolves (and some games that look better than anything I played before that I love despite not being their best running version; some that look terrible, whether that is because they're lazy ports of beautiful games or just bad looking games, I don't care, I don't compare).Now you can enjoy Dying Light to the fullest with the richest version of the acclaimed open world zombie survival game. Containing four DLCs and seventeen skin bundles, Dying Light: Platinum Edition brings together everything you need to explore all the post-apocalyptic world has to offer. Drive across Harran, as you spread carnage in your buggy, face and survive Bozak’s trials, explore new quarantine zones, and enjoy plenty of new skins and weapons!

Oh right, videogames. Well, won't say no to free extra content to a magical port. I was actually more impressed by this port and some of the Rebellion ports on Switch than by some of the 'impossible' ports where you see it struggling. This brings us to performance and the results are interesting. You may note some instability in camera motion and movement, but it's usually not down to performance drops, but rather that the game runs with an uncapped frame-rate, often running at 30-36fps. On paper, this may not seem like a big deal, but what's happening is that we're basically seeing inconsistent frame-times of 16ms, 33ms and 50ms - and this results in inconsistent motion. It's like incorrect frame-pacing but slightly different in how it manifests, creating a slightly jerky look to the action. The good news here, however, is that the frame-rate does stay above 30fps most of the time and after raising this issue with the developers, I was informed they are looking to solve the problem with a patch. There are genuine drops beneath 30fps - in the city at night, for example - but I think that if Techland can implement a decent 30fps cap, this should make the game look and feel smoother overall. We also optimized performance and the HD Rumble feature, so now, when you enter Harran, you may notice that your game runs smoother and your Joy-Con have an improved reaction to what’s happening on the screen for even more immersion! Looking at any surface and tapping ‘R’ will prompt Kyle to climb, and your mobility is often your most important asset to getting through in one piece. You can always fight the zombies, and there are often situations where you have no choice, but it’s made abundantly clear that this isn’t the most ideal option.Of course, the game wasn’t without its issues at its initial launch, specifically some performance issues. So, how does it fair on Nintendo Switch? A console that isn’t known for the power found in PlayStation and Xbox. Well, it holds up pretty well. In fact, the game performs exceptionally well, making for a pretty solid port. I think we can all agree that Switch ports are a risky business, and in this case, it’s paid off. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. It's clear not too many people are concerned about hardware. The sales and the popularity speak for themselves. The game developers just have to make the best with what they have to work with. If you've never played Dying Light before, it's best described as an open-world parkour zombie game. In many ways, it's an evolution of the Dead Island title that Techland worked on. You are trapped in a zombie-filled environment and must escape by crafting weapons. It's a very accessible game and is probably one of the best examples of first-person platforming on the market. Pretty much everything I said in my original review still holds true for the gameplay. Playing Dying Light again, it's genuinely amazing how well it holds up for a six-year-old game. What really stands out is what is new to the Switch version from the initial release. Dying Light: The Following – a huge expansion complete with a new story, vast original map, and a customizable buggy to drive.

nessisonett Well, he just didn't know it all. If you're young, own a switch, and never had an opportunity to see or compare it to games running on superior hardware, I guess it's hard to understand what's out there. We were all oblivious at some point in our lives. He'll understand the inadequacy of the Switch once he gets the chance to game on a high-tier rig with a nice 4k screen.
