Dying Light: The Beast Deluxe Edition

Dying Light: The Beast started life as an expansion to Dying Light 2 and grew into its own game. Kyle Crane — the protagonist of the first game — returns after thirteen years of experiments that left him with something in his blood that is not entirely human, and Castor Woods is where he goes looking for the man responsible. The setting is a rural valley rather than a city, so parkour shares the load with driving, and the day-night cycle is at its most punishing yet: the volatiles that come out after dark are a reason to plan your evening. Crane's Beast Mode turns him into the thing hunting the hunters for short bursts. Melee combat, crafting and skill trees carry over from the series, and the campaign supports up to four players in co-op. The Deluxe Edition adds the official soundtrack, a wallpaper pack, the Castor Woods tourist map and the Castor Woods Prepper Bundle — an outfit, an SMG and the Roadhog vehicle. The campaign is identical to Standard, so this tier front-loads gear and adds the collectible material rather than extending the game.
