A slightly bland campaign is eclipsed by brilliantly entertaining…
from the one announced all those years ago – Dead Island 2 is a lot more like the first game in the series than we had expected.
We picked a character who’s essentially rapper Lil Pump , thinking that their dialogue would be full to the brim with the toe-curlingly cringe modern pop culture references that we were looking for, but he never sails close to how interesting the character could be based on what the game sets up. It’s hard to think of a game that isn’t improved by co-op, but it is stark just how much easier playing with a friend makes Dead Island 2. Boss fights feel designed with single-player in mind, so while one distracts, the other can be free to turn the various hulking zombies into kebab meat. Which brings us to the absolute star of the show: the gore.
It’s absolutely disgusting, fascinating, and incredibly impressive. Playing through the game we wondered when we’d get that moment where we turn the corner and the street is filled with thousands of zombies, a la Dead Rising, but when it never happened, it occurred to us why. The gunplay isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s more varied than we expected, and the satisfying ping of shots landing is enjoyable. They’re also introduced slowly, to allow players plenty of time to experiment with meat cleavers, baseball bats, and all manner of other classic zombie-blasting paraphernalia .
