Oh, that's right, Dead Island 2 has RPG elements in this first-person zombie title. Thankfully, there is a large number of weapons that you can carry on your character without having to constantly fiddle with your inventory, like most RPGs. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of weapons and modifications to tweak the playstyle to your liking.

There is much fun to be had with combat especially when playing with friends.

Drop-kicking zombies into a pit of sizzling acid never gets old and slicing a zombie in half with a powerful modded axe is always satisfying. Blunt weapons smash with brute force, blades slice zombies' flesh with realistic collision, and the game’s physics are fantastic.

No matter what weapon you use in Dead Island 2 it feels exactly as it should. Clearly, the developers put a lot of time in making sure that the melee combat felt just right. Building upon the first game that was released 12 years ago, the combat feels clean. Gameplayĭead Island 2’s melee combat is the highlight of the game. All-in-all, if you were expecting a deep and fully fleshed-out narrative then you may be disappointed with this one. There is a bit of a plot twist but again, I would be lying if I said I did not see it coming. The game does not do a great job of character development and pretty much just gives reasons to change the scenery of the game. Unfortunately, I did not care much for the story, I found it fairly generic which is not very surprising in an over-saturated market full of zombie titles. A typical zombie apocalypse plotline that gives purpose to all of the zombie-killing action but not much else.Ĭomedy is definitely the focus of the title, keeping things very light-hearted which I did appreciate. The story does not waste much time giving players the basis of the plot, which essentially is to meet up with an unknown voice over the radio that claims to need you for their vaccine program. and helping others survive the undead madness. These “slayers” are all immune to the virus, allowing them to head out to the dangerous streets of L.A. The game throws 6 different individuals into the fray of a zombie apocalypse set in Los Angeles. But has the long wait been worthwhile? Story With developer woes and countless delays, Dead Island 2 has fought hard to make it to our current-gen consoles and PCs. Deep Silver announced Dead Island 2 nearly 9 years ago at E3 2014 and it has had a troubled production ever since.
