Dying Light: Bad Blood Review

Suspense

Dying Light: Bad Blood also ensures that you connect with other humans without the need for a shrunken circle. By having a goal that everyone has to achieve, the game forces you to regularly search for conflicts.

Afterwards, you constantly feel nervous while playing Dying Light: Bad Blood. This is a unique sensation among battle royale games that often go from intense action to slower moments of gathering resources.

A culmination of this feeling are the last moments when you have to run towards the helicopter. Not only the person who collects enough blood can board the plane. Anyone is free to ask for a ride. It becomes a race to reach the landing spot and defend it until the helicopter arrives. Ambushes are very likely here and it generally becomes the most tense moment of any match.

Final verdict

Having been built on the foundation of an already successful game, Dying Light: Bad Blood has something of an edge over other battle royale games. Performance is not a problem as there are very few technical problems thanks to the engine already tested in the first title. If anything, this new game looks even better. A facelift has improved the lightning and made the color palette more vibrant so that the images look much more colorful.

Ultimately, Dying Light: Bad Blood is an excellent new take on the battle royale genre. Everything has been implemented well and the overall execution is very good, far better than many other games of this type. The move to a smaller, but denser map, and the merging of PvP and PvE add a lot of drama to the process. So much so that you will be in suspense during most of the games.
