Slick parkour, brutal melee combat, and plenty of zombies to pulverize - at first glance, Dying Light The Beast looks like just what the undead doctor ordered: more Dying Light. The thirst for the zombie-slaying open-world series has been immense over the past decade, and its third mainline entry is almost upon us. Once planned as DLC for Dying Light 2, starring the first game's beloved protagonist, Kyle Crane, The Beast has mutated into something much more ambitious. Ahead of its launch in a couple of months, I got to play a roughly 40-minute slice of The Beast at Summer Game Fest, and while it doesn't stray massively far from Techland's winning formula, some new additions and shakeups make for a more isolated, focused, and survival-oriented experience.
