Dying Light: Platinum Edition

Dying Light on Switch is quite a remarkable achievement, and we're happy to report that Techland has mostly stuck the landing with this one. Its ambitious open world full of zombies is unlike anything else in the Switch's library and, between the core campaign and six years of constant DLC updates, there's potentially hundreds of hours of enjoyment to be had here. Granted, all of this comes at the cost of performance that can be middling compared to other platforms, but this is neatly balanced out by the convenience of playing in handheld mode. We'd give Dying Light a strong recommendation, though with the caveat that Switch owners who rarely play in portable mode may want to pause and consider buying it elsewhere. Wherever you may fall, we'd strongly encourage you to consider this Switch port; it really is quite good.

Killing zombies while commuting by train has never been so fun.

Dying Light: Platinum Edition is given a Nintendo Switch adaptation under a special edition that includes all the contents released over the last six years. Not only is there plenty of content here to explore, but this is an absolute marvel of a conversion that keeps all the good things about the original game intact and which acts as a benchmark for more ambitious conversions to the Switch.

All things considered, Dying Light: Platinum Edition is one of the better open-world RPGs currently available on the Nintendo Switch.

Dying Light Platinum Edition is a content-loaded production that provides fun for dozens of hours. The creators took care of a lot of pleasant additions and it is not for nothing that many players did not believe in this port. The game works, allows you to have fun and can provide a lot of attractions.

Dying Light: Platinum Edition for Nintendo Switch offers us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the Techland game in case it has not been previously enjoyed on another platform, or we want to do it in portable mode. This version is highly recommended, first for the ton of additional content it includes and second for its pretty solid conversion, with acceptable performance and more than decent graphic quality. Techland has done a good job without a doubt and Dying Light: Platinum Edition is a game for Nintendo Switch to be reckoned with.

Dying Light: Platinum Edition is another impressive Switch port, but the game itself is just OK. Its design threw everything at the wall, often to its detriment. While it has some pretty high highs, they lie almost exclusively in the movement. If you do want to chase those highs you're better off on other platforms until another patch or two comes along.

Dying Light Platinum Edition for Nintendo Switch is not the best version of this title. Yet the port itself is very competent, with reasonable technical compromises.

Mainly for its vast amount of content and gameplay depth, Dying Light: Platinum Edition is a great addition to the Switch library. While not its most exuberant version, the title offers a fun and complex survival horror experience capable of entertaining for dozens of hours by magnificently mixing open world in first person with parkour and zombies. By the way, an ambitious combination that harmonizes very well with the portability of the hybrid console.

Overall, Dying Light: Platinum Edition does a lot quite well on Switch. Aside from some technical hiccups and a pretty insignificant narrative, the game shines behind a satisfying gameplay loop with buildings to climb, upgrades to snag, and zombies to smack. With loads of packed-in DLC content and a few multiplayer modes piled on top of a sizable base game, fans of the gameplay loop will find dozens of hours of gratifying zombie-crushing entertainment.
