Dead Island 2 - Day One Edition (PlayStation 5)

What a game graphically fantastic I’ve never ever jumped so many times in my life what I enjoyable Game I had to put down multiple times for a rest because it’s that bloody scary good. You have got to be nuts not to play this game major experience good fun. Oh yes, it’s probably next to nothing now just play it silly not to.

If you liked dead island 1 you’ll like this! Great game with varied zombie killing mechanics! Not much in the way of a interesting story but gameplay more than makes up for it

Love this game really good game zombie 🧟‍♂️ all the way

Fantastic semi-open world RPG.The pros:- very detailed world- fun missions- great melee and long range combat- lots of gore- Lots of environmental hazards to create interesting ways to kill zombies- decent length - I spend at least 40 hours total on thisThe cons:- weapon tinkering and maintenance can get a bit tedious- the ending doesn’t properly conclude and leaves things open for the DLC which is quite annoying- some missions a bit long and tedious- limited fast travel points means lots of running aroundFor me personally this is one of the best games made in the last few years, but I would count myself as the target audience. Certainly not for everyone and worth watching a review before you play.

As someone with a fear of zombies I have no idea why I purchased this game. I played the first game and got through it because I played in co-op so it was less scary I guess. But this one is a definite upgrade from the first Dead Island, and I played solo and was so tense throughout my playthrough that I ended up with an injury to my neck and shoulder afterwards!The game is great, plenty of gore and violence, and the setting is just perfect and so beautiful even in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Struggled with some bosses at times (the hotel!!!) but once you get used to certain zombies and their attack patterns, then it becomes easier to play. Still if you don't like this genre or zombies in general (as I do not) then you might struggle, but I play it to be scared, that's the point for me, and it's a perfect game to go back to for that.

Its fun nothing to amazing would of preferred a big map instead of several little ones but its a fun time killer

Dead Island 2 is a really good combat/action game, vast options of weapons to use from as well with the perk card system to make your character stronger in a variety of different ways.I do wish the story however could be more in depth, it's a short story and the characters are somewhat bland and are forgetable in most cases.The graphics are quite decent, it runs quite well at 60fps and haven't seen any glitches in the game so far.It's a good game if you want to dive into the fighting and combat with zombies but the story could be better.

From the moment the game begins it shines quality. The opening cinematic is great! The gameplay is genuinely great FUN! The environments are immaculate, highly detailed, each one feels unique and packed with exploration. The movement is very precise and responsive (unlike dying light which feels very sloppy and hit and miss to me), each strike FEELS solid. Personally I found the story pretty interesting and engrossing. The gore system is off the charts incredible! Probably one of my favourite games. Interestingly, one of the few new games I’d class as truly next gen. Just wish it was longer and bigger. Hoping for some DLC with new areas to explore. Highly recommend.
