Your review gels with a lot of the press I've seen. Great read.

It gets dinged pretty hard with some of the bugs. Todd Howard at Bethesda probably went through an entire bottle of jergens with this one.

As frustrating as they are though, it's more being angry that it stopped me from playing and I can't wait to get the reboot over with and load back in so I can keep playing, rather than something that would make me stop playing.

It's a testament to just how fun the game really is. Yeah a lot of the enemies look the same, yes, some interiors and rooftop assets are identical. It just doesn't matter. It's ****ing fun.

We have to keep in mind that Techland is essentially by letter of the law, an indie company.

They worked on this thing for 7 years, and the Easter eggs, ( Doom Shotgun with 1993 shells, and Pixelated first DOOM level, Darth Vader Force Choke, Master Sword from LoZ, Flyable Quidditch Broom from Harry Potter, Super Mario triple jump shoes) and letters to fans and other developers involved with their Easter eggs, show that they really care about the work they are doing and are big fans of gaming like we are.

It's a shame it's currently also getting review brigaded because of a lack of Italian translation of all things.

If you can look past some bugs that are sure to be eventually ironed out, and if you're a gameplay first gamer, there's a lot of fun to be had here.

Nitpickers will struggle with this game.

Techland also has some amazing post launch support as indicated by Dying Light the original. Well worth the $ if you're into this kind of thing. I'm amazed at how many voice lines and such are in the game.

Diving into sidequests now, and literally every single one will not progress to the next objective without quitting/loading. It's like the prompt for the next objective hangs up and only executes on a reload.

Debating not doing anymore until a patch releases. I have plenty more inhibitors to find and undead trophies to farm to upgrade all my mods in the meantime.

This clip here was day one, getting the feel of the game and caught a double decapitation.

I'm on PC and I get occasional crashes and once the marker to my quest disappeared. Other than that it runs fairly decent and autosaves often enough to not be a big deal. I'm sure they will patch it if you have the patience.

Yeah the patches for consoles are supposed to be out mid week this week. I'm not about to let a couple bugs get in the way of glorious zombie slaughter.

I've started messing around with Bows, and parkour shot is just really freaking cool. Triple shot is borderline OP, and power shot pierces multiple enemies.

The peacekeeper crossbow given for handing over 4 structures to the PK, is exceptionally sick. The weapon levels with your character, is automatic and utilizes a 5 bolt magazine. Absolutely shreds enemies. Downside is that only the piercing effect from the skill tree works with it.

Parkour shot and triple shot only work with the traditional bow.
