Cons
Con Poor plot and characters
The story is nothing new with many elements that are just too familiar at this point. A reluctant hero and a cold government agent mixed with a rather basic plot points to a lack of imagination and an obvious attempt to create a game for the masses.
Con Poor multi-threading
Sadly, Dying Light does not do multi-threading very well which results in low frame-rates. For a modern game that is to be played on consoles or PCs with multiple cores, it is mind boggling that proper multi-threading has not been taken full advantage of. This simply comes down to laziness, something that is not new to Techland and their poorly optimized ports.
Con Short single player campaign
The single player is quite short (though it is not the main focus of the title, as multiplayer is the main reason that one would purchase the game).
