Die Young disappointed me a lot. The game itself could be really good, but it just doesn't feel that way. I would describe Die Young as the ugly child of Dying Light and Far Cry. Stranded on an island, you fight for survival and must progress as sneaky and stealthy as possible. It's a mix of parkour and survival. Unfortunately, the game feels like a walking simulator most of the time, as you just walk from A to B a …

Tl;Dr: Climbing puzzles, stealth, and pretty landscapes to fall off. Get ready to die young. The deets: Looking at the reviews, I guess someone's gotta say it The game is called "Die Young". If you play this, then whine about dying young, clearly ya didn't read the title. OK, that put of the way. If you've played the more recent Tomb Raider games, you'll get an idea for this one.

This is the Mirror's Edge open world we never got with a bit darker tone. The exploration and climbing and parkouring is fun enough as you explore the Island. I recommend this game for anyone who likes the mentioned mechanics above. It features quests that are just enough to not feel dragged out. No tedius grinding. Don't go in expecting a $49 AAA game, but not a $1,99 either. It's a solid game that will keep you …

This game is an outstanding adventure. Even though the performance has some issues (occasional stutter), its atmosphere and immersion are awesome (especially when playing without HUD). Which gives me enough reason to overlook these stutter issues and enjoy the game. Maybe it reminds me about Far Cry Primal a bit (not story- or time-wise, but the gameplay with collecting herbs, crafting stuff and having no guns), is …

If Farcry, dying light and the forest and mirror's edge had a love child, that would be die young. I was playing on easy difficulty, to be honest after getting a crosbow and molotovs, the fights were mostly easy. Still the game can be a bit challenging with the puzzles and the parkour elements, and with fights aswell sometimes. Overall I would say it's not that hard game, you can have a lot of fun, its a decently …

Audio is awkward, presentation is... indie, and you feel awkward trying to adjust to the game. You either keep pushing forward, or like 90% of the players, drop out at some point without finishing it. The good Rewarding exploration - this is the meat and bones…

neutral · AI labelView post →Die Young has a mediocre story and unappealing world with lots of pop-in. The combat is super clunky, stealth is boring and enemies are spongy. Just not fun, at all. Not recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Plays like a weird mix of Tomb Raider and a walking simulator, but with appalling controls. You'll repeatedly miss the handhold you're jumping for, fall a few metres, and have to clamber around to get back to where you were to try again. The landscape seems to be mostly populated by small animals and occasional characters just running in place. Some areas feature locked doors which you'll need to find a way around, but instead of being able to unlock them from the far side, you eventually…

Plot is similar to B-grade teenage horror movies where everyone disappear without reason. Not knowing what to do the only reasonable choice is to explore island in hope of finding some answers. There's something about cult that capture people [content cut because of spoilers]. Movement is smooth and there's plenty of climbing. Exploration is based around…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fantastic, right up to the final moment. But then the devs decided to completely change the game play (entirely without warning, I might add) and you end up hopelessly unprepared to finish the game. *SPOILERS AHEAD* For the entirety of the game, you have to rely on stealth and quietly get the upper hand on unsuspecting enemies. But in the final moment of the game, you're pitted against 12 to 18 enemies (a mix of snipers and melee attackers), alongside an aggressively overpowered…

Dialogue and text is abysmal Puzzles are simple (sometimes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The stars didn't align quite on this one. Another game that seems to suffer from identity crisis; equal parts Farcry 3 in its world and story, and the other half inspired by Mirrors Edge style parkour and combat. Where the aspects of both are never truly realized, or fleshed out in any sort of cohesive way. The game from the start begins to show its promises with the all too familiar story: a group of friends getaway to an exotic island wherein they all become captured, and its up to our…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story is interesting until you reach the bull gate then it's total ♥♥♥♥ show. Map is big and only way to travel is running or fast traveling from one point to another. Combat sucks, steatlh is empty. Only decent thing about game is parkour I think.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is long, but pretty good. The puzzles, while sometimes beyond confusing, can be fun, and the movement system is great (as long as you don't make a wrong input and fall off a cliff and then have to load 2 hours back because you didn't have the time or inventory space to save).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first time I played this, I actually gave up on it after three hours. I was totally wrong about it and so glad I gave it a second chance. The graphics are pretty decent, nothing spectacular, but good enough. The sound effects are a bit off though, with things like footstep sounds from animals being too loud, and just don't sound right. The survival aspects are fairly light, and it's got a crafting system that is very streamlined and simple to use. This is not a base building game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting story (at leats at the start), and a vast map to explore. We play as a pretty vulnerable protagonist, which is kinda cool. Graphcis are okay. Not bad, but not outstanding either. Yet the optimization is a bit off (i have rtx 3060 and i expected the frame rate to be better than that i get). Also the game gives you absolutely zero clues of what to do next. You have a bunch of locations, and go on - explore them. Missed something in that location? Game wont tell you. Im not sure if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was somewhat promising at first, but I couldn't bring myself to even reach the half-way point. The game provides an interesting enough premise, a pretty cool environment, and I personally found the parkour fun. I could deal with the weird switching of music tracks, the floating objects, and odd wildlife animations. However, as I kept playing, I just felt those things just kept pulling me out of the immersion. Then I discovered how painfully stupid the AI was and I felt absolutely zero fear…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not really a bad game. Its a good game with bad design element. The combat is meh which I kinda anticipated anyway. Its parkour is let's say between Mirror's Edge and Dying Light (average), DL perfected that mechanic. The world is beautiful to run around with. The cons of this game is the map design, In first area you can go to a specific location in a lot of direction you can but when you got in the middle game it starts to funnel you to a series of routes that is so confusing.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Die Young is definitely one of the more empty games I have played lately. Over the 11 hours that it took me to complete this game I had very mixed feelings. You are held captive on an island and have to undergo some trials to escape or maybe even join the weird cult that inhabits it. You can pretty much freely explore said island, though there is a clear way the story wants you to go, which is fine. The game has some good parts. It looks pretty good and runs well. The island is somewhat…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awakened in a hole masquerading as an early grave, marooned on a hostile island, separated from your friends and with only one option available, escape or die, Die Young puts the player in the shoes of a young woman caught up in a desperate war to survive when her and her friends are attacked by a vicious cult on a paradise getaway. It's about time I did some kind of review for this one as I had supported Die Young through Early Access all the way through to its final release. While the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really tried to like this game, I did. My aunt gifted it to me and I wonder how she played through this slog fest. The game is boring, plain and simple, Its essentially a walking simulator with the smallest amount of gameplay. The parkour elements of the game were decent if not for the fact that there is almost no obstacles or routes that would have you utilize it, outside of Points of interest like the mansion or the various towers that dot the world. The combat is terrible,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hidden GEM! Its a good Survival, Stealth + Parkour game. 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I simply couldn't get into this one. The story is very meh and even cringy. The world is not pretty. The combat is boring. The crafting was nice if that's your thing. Also the parkor is done well - but overdone as a mechanic for this sort of game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent horror game ruined by a ton of parkour that wasn't fun then and is much worse now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game but has some caveats. A game that relies on precise timing for certain jumps and dodges shouldn't have such JANKY controls. The "first" boss fight is pure bull**** and I would dismiss/thumbs down the game entirely based on that except there's lots of another fun exploration to be done up to that point. Oh, and the distribution of save points is also pure bull****, even though you can "craft" save points, but since you don't know where the actual save points are you don't craft them…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great mesh of the Forest and Far Cry! First things first: don't get scared by the prologue. It makes you believe that stealth/combat are the main focus of the game, which would be horrible, because it is very clunky, but no. Whilst you can ramp the difficulty up, even on normal mode the main focus lies in the survival, and exploration of the open world, with a heavy dose of climbing/parcour. And I love it. As already stated, the gameplay (especially the combat) can be very clunky at times…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I'm torn on this one. It was fun. It was on sale when I bought it and I had a good time, so yeah I would recommend it, BUT you need to know what you are getting. Pros Great scenery. I loved the fact that the enemies are not stereotypical. The world is fun to explore (with flaws). Climbing can be kinda fun at times. Cons Buggy still. Water glitches are really bad. Climbing can feel like a chore. Voice acting is meh. The world is very empty feeling at times and you have to run miles to get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolutely fantastic !!! + Beautiful hand-crafted Open World with many exciting places to discover + Immersive First Person View (you can see your full body, important for climbing, etc.) + Crafting not too complex, but very useful to stay alive and keep the story going + Two Different Game-Modes: "Story" and "Survival" + Absolutely amazing graphics engine + Melee Combat is fun + Very good hit impact feeling when using Crossbow

There are locks everywhere "This lock opens from the other side" etc. With my luck i'm always on the wrong side ahah. At the moment i'm completely stuck in the area where according to game i should not be able to get yet. Time to head back the way i come here lol ;)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Die Young is an ok game that feels like a well done Half Life 2 mod. Its politics are a mess and the 'streamer mode' not turning off was annoying but most of the game was fun. Parkour high on a beach cliff is worth a sale price, but I'm unable to recommend because the final boss sequence is too unbalanced. I was pretty bored of the game by the end and to face a brutal mega-health bullet-sponge with a couple pointy sticks and one molotov was a momentum killer and game ender. This one goes on…

The game looks pretty good in my opinion, especially the light and dark effects, however it's a bit un-optimzed (or maybe a 1050Ti is not enough for this game). Some of the music in the game is pretty good, adds…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly good if you went in with low expectations. All the different places you could explore on this mystery horror island and the story that comes with it was really fun to progress through. It felt very similar to the forest but plays very differently. The enemies in this game do not respawn which kinda sucks but at the same time, is not bad in this game. This along with the equipment progression really feeds into a power fantasy, for example, when you clear out the military base as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is good, if not a bit clunky at times. While the graphics are not cutting edge the art direction is good enough that the game can be very beautiful at times. Very enjoyable exploration and platforming, with horror elements that make for some intense moments from time to time. The "survival" part is very minimal, which is a good thing. The last boss is terrible and almost completely ruins the ending but I had enough fun in the rest of the game that it didn't really matter to me.…

The island setting is beautiful, the pacing is good, and the horror elements underlying the whole thing are well done. The platforming segments are where the game really shines. The jumps are brutal, and you'll see the Load Game screen many, many times during the longer sequences. But the save points are placed generously enough to prevent things from getting frustrating, and it's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Received this game as part of a bundle. The world looks great but there are some serious problems which really hold this game back. Travelling is tiring in this game. From the go, you feel lost, spending 90% of the game time climbing rocks trying to find a cave where you can do some fast travel, which still happens to be miles away from where missions are. The combat is terrible- It doesn't feel natural. You find your character exhaused after throwing two swings, meaning the 30 minutes of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Die Young is an interesting game that is carried completely by its exploration and climbing system. In a way it feels like the love child of Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider 2013. You've ended up on an island, have been separated from your friends, and you've got to deal with both the wild animals and the various nutjobs that want you dead in order to escape. The climbing and exploration are the stars of this show. While it does rely on some of the handhold-y "white paint" that is common in modern…

Particularly noteworthy in the overall good gameplay are the very well-implemented climbing mechanics. The beautiful, sunny, Mediterranean island setting contrasts sharply with the brutal and dark story that criticizes capitalism and socialism. For me, this was a very positive surprise from a small indie…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty nice looking map, cool parkour mechanics that remind me of Far Cry a lot and the story is somewhat interesting, with multiple endings. Performance is stable enough for me, even though i did see multiple complaints about that, constant 144 fps for me. Voice acting is also surprisingly good. However, doing the actual missions can be a bit difficult at times, because of the lack of directions of where to go and what to do. The enemy AI and mechanics also suck, i can just spam attack a dog…
