Critic Reviews

CGMagazine - Marcus Kenneth - 9 / 10

Dying Light: The Beast is an incredible evolution in the series by bringing back the movement and weapon feel, and evolving them to feel more brutal feels incredible.

Daily Mirror - Aaron Potter - 4 / 5

While the actual ‘Beast’ elements of the game are a slight let down from a pure gameplay perspective it still feels good to hulk out without fear of falling in among the undead hordes. This, combined with easily the most diverse setting Dying Light has ever offered in Castor Woods and …

#Edit: The Score Has Increased to 92, Making it Tied for 2nd Highest Scored Game of 2025

Most games go through a review period, with critics publishing their reviews all at once prior to release. Silksong broke from this convention, releasing without a review period, which meant reviews arrived later and trickled in more slowly.

Now After 2 Weeks, the Score Has Stabilized on Metacritic:

• 92 on PC (26 Reviews)
• 92 on PS5 (18 Reviews)
• 92 on Switch 2 (18 Reviews)

On OpenCritic, the Score is 91 (65 Reviews)

Metacritics Highest Scored Games of 2025 (excluding re-releases)

1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (93)

2. Blue Prince (92)

2. Hollow Knight: Silksong (92)

3. Split Fiction (91)

3. Donkey Kong Bananza (91)

The above 5 games are the only new games to score above a 90 on Metacritic this year. The two “re-released” games I didn’t list are the two Zelda switch games, which were re-scored this year after getting a Switch 2 upgrade patch (both have a 95).

I was just walking around Toronto and unexpectedly ran into Arteezy. Couldn’t believe it at first!!!

He was really friendly and down to earth, honestly such a chill guy. His girlfriend was kind enough to take a photo of us together.

Definitely one of those random encounters I’ll never forget.

Its not even 30 pulls yet 🤣🤣

My man has the funniest facial expression I’ve ever seen ngl.

• On Saturday they had to play till midnight and their next series started at 10am in the morning
• XG players probably got ~5 hours sleep before they had to start the lower bracket final match.
• Now I’m not saying XG would have won, but this looks bad on PGL.
• Why not just delay the LBF?

Edit: Comment from ikkky0925 that gives key details from XG Manager (it was actually 2-5 hrs of sleep, lol)

There is this building texture in the game files that should be located somewhere in the mid area. The code specifies that this is mid_dome_cap.vmdl_c

Biggest change from last week? Doorman has arrived. Both Gunman and spirit builds were used to great effect - including having a big impact on the NA Finals.

Also, Vindicta, McGinnis, Dynamo still dead - as expected.
