    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

    I don't think it was worth the wait because the wait was very very long very very very long but it is a solid fun zombie game experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Worth waiting almost 9 years for drop kicking zombies in a pool of acid was very satisfying. So we're the excellently gory damage animations but good God that British slang. It is so inaccurate I've lived in England pretty much my entire life. Never once have I ever heard anyone say "hold ya hoses" it's hold your horses good game though.… Expand

The main difference is that you have cards instead of Skill Points that let you mix and match your abilities a little bit, but none of them are really super necessary. Just wailing on zombies with a big weapon is effective enough, which is all you should really be hoping for if you're playing this game. Unfortunately, it feels a lot smaller than Dead Island 1 with a more sectioned off set of small maps instead of a few big overworlds with some smaller dungeon areas. Still, if you were hoping for more Dead Island with a new coat of paint, like I was, you'll be happy. If not, you'd be fine playing through the first game instead for a lot less money. Hopefully this comes to GamePass. Pick it up if you enjoyed Dead Island 1. Skip it if you didn't or haven't played 1.… Expand
