Going into GDC last week, I didn’t know what to make of Dying Light: Bad Blood. A standalone expansion-slash-add-on, Dying Light developer Techland claimed it was “inspired” by battle royale games. Quite a change for a story-centric zombie game, and in this post-PUBG, post-Fortnite world I’m automatically suspicious of studios jumping on the battle royale bandwagon—a skepticism built from five years of people tricking me into seeing their terrible MOBA spinoffs.But I have to admit: Bad Blood is a hell of a lot of fun.It’s not really a battle royale mode anyway.
