Apr 26, 2023Good solid fun! Not as good as the first but better in ways. Pretty solid performance also. This is how a game should launch. Take notes other devs.

Jun 4, 2023Solid game in terms of detail etc. Quite a bit of freedom but feels like an artificial 'open world' experience
Silly details though, like levelled zombies and having to pay (in game currency, not real money) to level up your gear. Rather dull compared to the "see zombie, smash zombie" gameplay I was expecting -
May 5, 2023Fantastic game - really enjoying playing this with a couple of friends. Looks and plays smoothly

Sep 1, 2023Story is made for gen z. The first game was lightyears better story wise. What's up with these **** writers in every new game ?

May 1, 2023Dead Island 2 manages to surprise by proving to be solid and, above all, fun, thanks to an excellent co-op segment and a great dismemberment system. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said at the narrative level, and the gameplay suffers from excessive repetitiveness, but it still remains a worthy zombie game for fans of the genre.

Apr 26, 2023Featuring a literally jaw dropping, procedural zombie damage system, a diverse and entertaining cast and high production values from start to finish, Dead Island 2 not only manages to live up to the expectations set by its two mainline prequels over a decade ago--it blows them right out of the water.
