User reviews of the game are kinda mixed at MetaCritic. Gonna hold off till it's on Steam in a year. Game should also be more polished till then.
PCGamer gave it a 55/100

Would be more without pcgamer :p
Lately I found pcgamer to be really bad with their review.
PCGamer started going downhill almost 10 years ago.
EDIT:
OOps my bad, some reason today i keep thinking of dying light haha.
I'll waiit until it's available from more places.
Too bad it's exclusive only on EGS. If it hits GoG I might pick a copy up then.
Bought it and loving it. Definitely more fun than DL2, I can play for hours without feeling forced.
So it gets treated like a console-exclusive for atleast 70% of people buying.
Epic will get their own little share of players buying the game and join thier ecosystem.(when adding freegames and u bymistake decide to buy this exclusive title anyway) .
and finally they launch in Steam...after many months when they launch on Steam.. the steam fanboys will treat as a "new AAA game" launch and will make it top the charts..
So a win-win situation for the Game developers.
The only review I check is the performance review.
I'll wait until this gets discounted before picking a copy.
