What is the story and gameplay like in Dying Light: The Beast?
In Dying Light: The Beast, you play as Kyle Crane, someone who has the DNA of both a human and a beast. This will allow you to play in two separate playstyles, one with more human-like gunplay and another with primal brutality.
Just like previous Dying Light games, you’ll have two very different experiences depending on whether it’s daytime or nighttime. During the day, you’re free to explore, scavenge, and parkour across the Castor Woods. But at night, zombies are king, so it’s best to run and hide or fight with every last bullet and stamina you have.
Dying Light: The Beast is a first-person action game with a versatile movement system that rewards those who like running across rooftops — think of Mirror’s Edge, but in a zombie apocalypse. As for the story, all we know so far is that Kyle Crane is looking for revenge against those who turned him into a half-beast.
