    A deadly virus is spreading across Los    Dead Island 2 is stylish, vibrant and flooded with zombie infection. Explore iconic, gore-drenched Los Angeles. Meet larger-than-life characters. Slay countless foes in exquisitely bloody detail. And evolve to become the ultimate Zombie Slayer!

    A deadly virus is spreading across Los Angeles, turning inhabitants into zombies. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, uncover the truth behind the outbreak and discover who -or what- you are. Los Angeles is in quarantine and the military have retreated. Only you, and the handful of others who happen to be resistant to the pathogen, hold the future of the city (and humanity) in the balance.

    Features:

    Explore HELL-A – Dead Island 2 takes players across the most iconic locations of the City of Angels, now stained with horror, in an exciting pulp journey from the verdant suburbia of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach.

    Brutal Melee Sandbox – Combat delivers the most intense, visceral and gory first person experience possible, with plenty of weapons and tactical (and brutal) options to chew your way through the zombie horde. Whether you’re slicing, smashing, burning or ripping, we want you to truly feel it.

    Be the Ultimate Zombie Slayer – There are six characters to choose from, each with their own unique personality and dialogues. You can fully customize the abilities of each Slayer, with our brand-new skill system allowing you to re-spec instantly and try out the craziest builds.

    Zombie Infestation – Ready to experience the most advanced dismemberment system in games? Our LA is crawling with zombies that look and react realistically. These mutated wretches are the reanimated, rotten heart of Dead Island 2 with dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks and hundreds of visual LA-themed variants. Our monsters are relentless, challenging, and true Los Angelinos. Will you be able to survive?

    A Cinematic Co-op Adventure – As a proper RPG experience, Dead Island 2 offers plenty of exciting quests, a crazy cast of characters, and a thrilling pulp story, to truly immerse you in its twisted universe. Re-playability is guaranteed. Add an over-the-top co-op mode for up to three players, and you’ll stay in LA for a very long (and gory) trip.    … Expand

    100% worth the wait. The gore is fantastic, weapons all feel different to use. The story is amazing and in parts make you think.

    DI runs surprisingly well on the ps4. It's 30 fps but stable and still visually stunning. This is a game that prioritises Fun over all else,DI runs surprisingly well on the ps4. It's 30 fps but stable and still visually stunning. This is a game that prioritises Fun over all else, like games use to do before games had to be designed to keep the player playing and trying to draw money out their pockets. Combat is , visceral, varied and addictive . The map and progression keeps you engaged.
    LA is a Gorgeous place for the mayhem and blood sheed Dead Island 2 encourages. Visually and artistically one of the most beutiful games I've seen thus gen..Had a blast messing around with elements and weopens to create the most insane zombie destruction possible.    … Expand

    Dead Island 2 does lot of things very well. Its still the same old, but almost everything from previous games has been improved and polishedDead Island 2 does lot of things very well. Its still the same old, but almost everything from previous games has been improved and polished on. It also looks splendid, especially if you have PS4Pro. And runs really smoothly. Also, I have not encountered a single bug or glitch during the first 15 hours of playing it.
    Sadly, there are stuff in the game that keeps sapping the joy out of me.
    First is the weapon wear. Not being able to kill more than dozen zombies before your weapon breaks, is a pain. Sure, you can carry plenty of weapons, but the rapid wear, and the high cost of fixing weapons, means you waste all your money on fixing your favorite weapons every five minutes. At this day and age, they could have left weapon wear out, and the result would have been much better game.
    Second pain is the way too fast respawning of zombies in areas. You clear area so you can explore it for treasures. Well, while you are emptying the house, the zombies are back, both in and outside. Way too fast respawning, and saps the joy of exploration when you cannot even explore couple minutes in peace.
    Third, the game forces you to melee. It starts by giving you choice of different play styles, but during the first ten hours, most of the combat is pure melee, and you cannot really escape it. So, the alternate ways of completing missions that it was supposed to have, it does not have. You just beat your way thru with a baseball bat in most situations.
    Its a solid enough game, and perhaps the best of the series. But these negative things sap lot of the joy out of it and makes it just bit too much like a chore.    … Expand

    The first Dead Island was my first journey into Zombie games and it blew my mind. I love that game. I was extremely excited when I heard ofThe first Dead Island was my first journey into Zombie games and it blew my mind. I love that game. I was extremely excited when I heard of the release of this game. Being an absolute sucker for open world, immersive games, I was hoping it would be more of this that the original Dead Island. For my money, Dying Light 1 and 2 achieved what I wanted out of a sequel for Dead Island. Dead Island 2 looks great. It performs well. One of the things I felt was a mistake was how zombies respawn very quickly after being defeated. When I clear an area, I want it to be cleared...If I cleared an area, leave it completely and come back to it later in the game, fine...have the zombies respawn. If you clear an area, the area should remain cleared aside from maybe a few stragglers. I know we are playing Zombie video games, but it is just more realistic that way.

    At full price, I would give the game a 7/10.    … Expand
