Listed here are the top games by Polish developer Techland.
Even if they are unfamiliar with Techland, most gamers will recognise at least one of the company’s titles. Among the titles created by the Polish video game company are those in the Dying Light and Dead Island franchises. Crime Cities, the company’s second game, was the first to achieve a high rating after it was founded in 1991.
Dead Island was released in 2011 and garnered Techland awards at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.Dying Light was released in 2015 and quickly rose to the top of the US rankings, with 1.2 million players playing the game in the first week.Dying Light and Dead Island are two of its most well-known and beloved series, although there are countless other excellent Techland games.
Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood
The Call of Juarez series is a first-person shooter set in the Old American West. The first film in the series, Call of Juarez, was released in 2006 and follows a reverend called Ray McCall as he searches for his nephew Billy, whom he suspects of murdering his parents.
Ray and his brother Thomas are the main characters in Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, a prequel to the original game. During the American Civil War, the two become deserters and meet bandit Juan “Juarez” Mendoza. Techland removed the stealth and platforming elements of the first game from Bound in Blood since they were poorly appreciated. Though the controls are the same for both brothers, they each have their own distinct flair.
Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger
The fourth game in the Call of Juarez series is Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Gunslinger differs from the rest in that it has only one playable character, a bounty hunter named Silas Greaves. Silas recounts his story as an outlaw and subsequently as a bounty hunter in the game, with the player controlling Silas.
Set in the Wild West, the game combines fact and fiction as Silas crosses paths with and kills legendary outlaws such as Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, Billy the Kid, and the Sundance Kid, among others. The first-person shooter has more weaponry, more gun-fighting skills, and several sorts of Concentration Mode, which is a key gameplay component in the Call of Juarez franchise.
Dead Island: Riptide
The solo sequel to Dead Island, Dead Island: Riptide, did not receive as much attention as its predecessor, but it is still a good game. The gameplay is identical to that of Dead Island, with a few extra features added. For example, there are side quests in which players must combat “boss zombies” in Dead Zones, which are regions with a high concentration of zombies.
There’s also a new task dubbed a siege event, in which participants must defend their safe zones from waves of undead. There’s also a new Hero, John Morgan, who specialises in hand-to-hand fighting. Though Dead Island: Riptide is a standalone game, players who have already played and appreciated Dead Island will likely enjoy it more than a first-time player of the series. Particularly because Dead Island game data can be imported, allowing players to retain their abilities and levels.
Dying Light 2
With the success of the original game, Dying Light 2 had a lot of shoes to fill. It didn’t quite live up to all of the hype, but it did have some great gameplay. Dying Light 2 takes place 22 years after the events of the previous game, with a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell. A more lethal version of the virus that struck Harran has reduced humans to small, dispersed communities around the Earth.
The game takes place in Villedor, a European city divided between three factions. The parkour system has been improved to provide a smoother and more fluid experience, and the player can alter the state of the world and how NPCs perceive Aiden based on their choices. The story and characters fall short in compared to Dying Light, but the gameplay makes Dying Light 2 a worthwhile purchase.
Dying Light: The Following
Dying Light: The Following is a Dying Light expansion pack. It takes place after the events of the main game, in which Crane journeys into the Harran countryside after learning about a cult that appears to be capable of controlling the virus. Despite the fact that it is DLC, it seems like a standalone game. It blends elements from the main game that will be recognisable to Dying Light players while also introducing new elements, such as new weaponry and the ability to drive.
The countryside’s broad open spaces allow players to drive the Buggy. The Buggy is an off-road vehicle capable of both travel and combat. The Buggy is linked to the new Driver Skill tree, which allows players to personalise and modify their vehicle.
Dead Island
Dead Island takes place in Banoi, a tropical paradise off the coast of Papua New Guinea. One would not believe that a serious zombie outbreak could occur in Banoi, but they would be mistaken, as players fight their way through throngs of undead against a gorgeous island environment.Dead Island likewise emphasises melee combat above weapons, but players can still find and buy weaponry.
The four Heroes available to players all have various class kinds, making each of them a unique experience, as well as specialties ranging from performing “stun” moves on enemies to doing greater damage against a specific sort of adversary. People who enjoy playing co-op can choose which Hero best suits their playing style and combine each character’s talents and abilities to fight through swarms of zombies.
Dying Light
Dying Light is not only the best Techland game, but it also had the most sales in its first month for a new IP in the survival horror genre. When it comes to outstanding zombie games, Basket Random is frequently near the top of the list, with veteran series like Resident Evil, Dead Rising, and Left 4 Dead.
Dying Light expands on the first-person zombie battling action provided by Dead Island by immersing players in the city of Harran after it has been ravaged by a virus outbreak. Players assume the character of undercover agent Kyle Crane. The game’s gameplay is action-packed, and the parkour features set it apart from other horror/zombie games. The plot is captivating, and the pictures are stunning. Volatiles is one of the most horrifying special infected in survival horror game history.
