Whether or not Dead Island 2 is a game that justifies the long wait leading up to its release is a difficult question to answer, not least because of just how long that wait has been- but maybe it’s ridiculous to even expect the game to live up to nearly a decade’s worth of anticipation.
Here’s what I can say though- it’s an easy game to recommend. It may not necessarily offer anything we haven’t seen several times before in similar releases, but what it does offer is well-made and a hell of a lot of fun. From the buckets of gore to the hack-and-slash combat to how well it brings a zombie-riddled LA to life in its own fun way, there’s a lot to like about Dead Island 2.

Much better then the ign review you actually make me want to buy it again
Lol
Zombie variety is actually impressing. Dont think i've seen any in recent games
It sucks you cant go to downtown Los Angeles or any important places in LA, only to venice beach. Sucks
Damn, no Steam release, yikes.
U could just make ur own opinion after playing it how u like it. Not everyone is the same and what someone maybe doesn’t like someone’s will like or love. Instead listening to reviews have ur own thoughts and opinions. Wow what an idea. Imagine that.
Scale 1 to 10… hummm 6. I don't have play this one
I preordered this game for our Series X and from the looks of things I will be picking it up. I probably won't be playing it for at least another week or so at the earliest because I'm still playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake and Metroid Prime Remastered. I'll still check it out a little before I set it down in case I need to return it.
Addendum- Before anybody starts giving me nonsense about pre-ordering games…GameStop gives you 3 or 4 days (can't remember) of unencumbered freedoms to play a new game. If you don't like a new game you can return it with no questions asked for a full refund. You get the physical disc and a great suck policy to go with it. Screw digital.
this looks like an aborted ray liotta.
this looks like dead island… but in a new city with better graphics. exactly what i, and most other dead island fans, wanted. online co-op with buddies should be fun, funny and hilarious as it was with dead island years ago. however, dead island 2 here only features co-op for THREE people online. ah well, thats fine. 3 is better than 1 when it comes to surviving zombies.
also, 60 frames per second will be a huge welcome this time around with the next gen consoles, im playing on PS5 myself. i will say, i did NOT like dying light 2. at all. friends didnt, either. we're much more excited for dead island 2. i hope dead island 2 gets some decent and sizable DLC between now and october.
If i can kill zombies in fun ways it is enough for me
Spends the entire game stating it isn't the greatest…. what game is? Do you repeatedly say this shit for every other non greatest game review?
How about you include performance, resolution and HDR options in your review. That’s also really important as we getting more 30 fps garbage
The best thing that ever happened to L.A
L.A is an island?
One thing I want to know: how weapon durability works? Can we repair it as long as we have the cash or it breaks down after some repairs, like in dying light?
Shame no cross play tho
Have You Been To L.A. Lately?
It Looks Like Dead Island RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
The guy looks like a coward . I’ll pick one of the 3 tougher looking females they got.
So it's just like LA in the real world. Only less annoying.
M-m-m-mid game I knew it would get a mid rating after taking too long to make. Put this on game pass, that's the only way I'll ever play it. 😂
what is this fov.
Their are two viruses that this game could have given us. 1) the deadly zombie virus. 2) the even deadlier UFMA virus. Fortunately, they kept the former and totally ditched the latter.
The thing i love about this one is it never takes itself too seriously, often times parodying the real world and other zombie properties both. While i cant say its AMAZING I love it. Its story can be a bit cringey at times sure, but it doesnt feel bloated which surprisingly makes it severely replayable like the original dead rising games. It has both ommentary and comedy like dead rising and of course the original dead island. The music is amazing. The design of the world and its characters and enemies are varied and unique. Its also very fun. It has a very old school arcadey feelbin terms of the genre. Its got some issues but never really gets held back in terms of its overall experience.
PSA!!!
I switched my anti aliasing setting from "temporal AA high" to "FXAA" and it fixed my game from crashing. I'm on computer.
