Remember when the playerbase went "Man, I wish there was some other means of getting around instead of parkour."?
You don't. Cause nobody said that.
Parkour and freerunning was what made this game special. I get that they wanted to try something new, but zombies and cars dont mix too well. George Romero learned this the hard way with his "Land of the Dead", same case here. Cars just kill the atmosphere.
It's cute how they advertise this expansions saying the map is "larger than all of the base game maps combined". That's such an overstatement. Yeah, it indeed is large - but only for the sake of car not being useless. It's also blank, empty and boring with very little to do other than driving from A to B.

I absolutely love the base game. And, for me, this isn't Dying Light. Gone is the fun of jumping from building to building and looting people's fridges on your way. Gone is the unique, impeccable atmosphere of Harran.
Random virals spawns are not gone though and it looks even more riddiculous in an open field, as they just spawn out of thin air. And, for some reason, they can run as fast as the car in full speed. I mean wtf.
Also there's hardly any population in the countryside, where did these huge zombie hordes even come from?

Disappointed, waiting for Dying Light 2.
