Thanks Spalls Hurgenson.

I find Dying Light as you do....bit disappointing.
I took some time to just run & roof  jump across the whole game map.
Brought home how it all looked the same.
Also I disliked the Zombies design...many basically attractive,
near naked young female models rendered unpleasant ugly.

Some of the 'find & switch' type puzzles are entertaining.
'They' could have left the Zombies out & called it (say) Half-Life 2 Episode 
3 ;)

@@@@@
Borderlands 2 : Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC.
I've Played the 3 Borderlands games far more than any other - ever.
Been saving this DLC till last.

I'm bit disappointed.
It has good reviews ...its big.

Its too big & to tough.
So quest elements are repeated & distances to be travelled lengthened
more than is entertaining.
The 'little' side quests offer the most fun.
I realized I'd had enough when around 30% in I was confronted
with a difficult Boss battle in arena setting.
The Boss is JUST tough with hard assistants.
So just a matter of blasting away with little sense of skill until the Boss 
was down.
BUT THEN ! the game immediately put up another Boss - different name but 
same thing
& looks.
After that yet a 3rd - Same as the others.
No fun for me.
I dispatched them by turning on cheating with a Trainer.
I played to DLC end with the Trainer giving infinite Health & ammo.

I don't like the 2nd play though in Borderlands.
As Hero advances levels very, very slowly & I find very little improved 
weaponry.
My Hero went the whole of Tiny Tina DLC & only went from Level 45 to level 
46.
And that involved a lot of gameplay.
