Quoting: basedIts the company that made me hate zombie games, and I still don't want ANYTHING zombies anymore. Dead Island 1 and Dying Light were a suffer to go through with bad gameplay design and glitches.
I don't generally enjoy Zombie games, but I thought Dying Light was well worth finishing. And "The Following" DLC was even better than the base game. I don't remember having any major problems with the native Linux release either.
The Following improved it a bit but I played it just so I can say I beat it at that point. DL has garbage controls - 1 gamepad button doing like 5 combat moves, one example is I either lost jumping over zombies or the jump kick attack early in the game because of this, had digferent issues too but was months ago. I remember shoving zombies didnt always work as well so that was a bust...

Dead Island has instakill zombies due to a bug, and glitched quests respawning you far from your objective and getting you stuck in "respawn cause u got too far away" loop
