Dying Light: Hellraid Met With Cold Reception on Steam
The Hellraid DLC for Dying Light didn't exactly appeal to the players. Currently only 41% of the 200 reviews on the expansion on Steam are positive. Criticism includes the length of the adventure and limited number of new features.
Yesterday, the Dying Light expansion called Hellraid from Techland launched on PC (today it debuts on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One). The DLC, whose roots can be found in a canceled project under the same title, is a change of atmosphere compared to the original concept - the streets of Harran have been replaced by narrow corridors of medieval crypts, and instead of zombies we fight demonic skeletons and beasts. On paper it sounds quite interesting, but how does it work in action? According to Steam users, it doesn't.
Currently on Valve's platform, only 41% of the 200 opinions about the Hellraid DLC are positive. Players complain about the fact that the new adventure offered by Techland is very short. The time needed to complete it is only an hour. What's worse, the expansion forces us to restart it from the beginning in case of failure, which can be tiring. The recipients did not like the fact that the whole thing introduces very few novelties and generally gives the impression of a simple reskin of the basic game. There are also comments in the opinions that the Polish team should give up the development of a 2015 game and focus on delivering Dying Light 2.
But not everything has met with criticism.Hellraid's significantly darker atmosphere has met with good reception, which may be associated with the popular Souls series.
If you have Dying Light and want to check if Hellraid really is such a disappointment, you can buy it on Steam platform for $9.99.
