First Impressions What Does Dying Light Do to Resurrect the Zombie Apocalypse on PS4?
The freewheelin' mob killing
Dying Light finds itself in an odd position. With its last-gen version recently cancelled, and developer Techland touting a renewed focus on fluidity and polish, the parkour-‘em-up’s future feels slightly unclear. We recently went hands on with the title at PAX Australia, and – after being ushered
