Techland apperanty saw fit to force LAN behind a Galaxy connection on new versions of this game, when that feature used to worked fine. If you have an older version hold on to that.
If you are one for Survival Horror, Horror, and Survival Genres do yourself a favor and get this on sale for $10.
I have Zero regrets and it even has LAN!
An amazing zombie parkour RPG. Tons of stuff to do, you can pick up random junk, there's a hot Turkish tomboy. I love it, I played it to almost 100% on Steam and now I got it on Gog because Steam left Windows 7 users like me behind. :( Anyway, it runs great on my RX 470 4GB and Fx 8350 on Windows 7.
I have the original, a VERY good game and the mission DLCs are nice.
Be aware that most of the low review scores (including mine) are aimed at the fact the makers keep stringing us, the players (and their source of income) along with "meh" skins.
Now, please do be aware that there IS some new functionality in the skins+weapons DLCs. For example, a burst fire pistol or silenced rifle, maybe a crossbow that uses literal junk to make for people with The Following. But honest to god, man... they should have made a followup to The Following where you can play singleplayer as the tentacled superzombie from multiplayer.
Or how about a gun drone you can sit on a rooftop with and fly out to shoot zombies for fun? Heck, *that* would be what I would do in a zombie apocalypse! Kinda of like the Ghost Recon: Wildlands DLC, but actual fun...
So in summation most of the low reviews are gripes because:
(A) As mentioned, the mini-DLCs are shameless cash grabs really don't add anything groundbreaking, just things that SHOULD already have been in the main game from the start.
(B) The sequel is taking forever
(C) Techland is perceived as treating GOG like second-class citizens sometimes, rightly or wrongly
(D) There is a lot of stuff players would like to see in the game (fun of zombie apocalypse movies is *there are no rules anymore, do what you want*) that really just got left by the wayside. And all we get is stupid skins where a pistol fires three times instead of once. Yaaaay...
Lastly, in some ways Dying Light has always felt like a step down from the Dead Island games. They were beautiful and vibrant, and does anyone remember that Dead Island: Riptide had actual sniper rifles and repairable chainsaws? Yes, I know about the Jason Easter Egg and chainsaw in Dead Island 1, but you can't repair it or refuel it! Stupid decision...
Okay, VERY LAST THING: I want my targeting reticle back for throwing weapons, and the range increased!!! Kyle's arms are wet noodles!
