Backlog 365: Day 56 - Dying Light

For Backlog 365 I plan on playing one game on my backlog everyday this year and write about it. For each game I will decide if I want to put it on my "Shelved" list (games that I plan to come back to and play in depth) or put it on the "Retired" list (games that I will delete or sell and move on with my life).

For Backlog 365 I plan on playing one game on my backlog everyday this year and write about it.

The thing I hate more than anything is when you get all settled in to play a game for the night and the game needs a 17GB update. You just have to get up and say "welp, guess I'm not playing that game tonight." I was really excited to start playing Dying Light, so this was a bummer. The update finished around 12:15am, right before I was going to bed, but I decided to just put a little time in so that I wouldn't fall behind again. It ended up working out well, because I ended up turning the game off early. Not because I didn't like it, but because it looks so good that when I play it in full I want to start from the beginning. Playing any more would just be redundant. (Also, I wanted to go to bed.)
