Smash hit video games – how many of them did we actually finish?

Video games used to be longer – it’s a common complaint, and perhaps even true. But could we even handle longer productions seeing how we leave most of modern, seemingly shorter games, unfinished? Because apparently that’s what we do.

Destructoid: 9 / 10 by Zack Furniss

The Following was larger than I expected, and it maintains a high level of quality throughout. Being pared down from the bloat of Dying Light earns it more moment-to-moment excitement, and I greedily consumed it over the weekend. The last few minutes have me pondering the future of what's clearly going to become a franchise, and I'm ready for whatever Techland brings next.

COGconnected: 88 / 100 by Shawn Petraschuk

With an expansive map, a multitude of zombies to kill and a competent if not compelling plot, The Following is a terrific complement to your Dying Light collection.

Fextralife: 8.5 / 10

Overall, The Following does a great job of not only refining the Dying Light formula, but actively building on it. The area you're given to play in is huge, the new toys are supremely fun and the changes to the enemies make them a significant, but welcome challenge.
