The difficulty ramps up, so you must keep an eye on each other. Even when playing with strangers, it was enjoyable. The game is designed for co-op and thankfully drop-in and drop-out handles smoothly.
She felt responsive and her melee combat was some of the best – I preferred it to even the glorious melee in Dying Light, by original Dead Island devs, Techland. She moves like the wind and when you bring your foot down to smash a felled zombie, you see her prosthetic right leg covered in the USA flag. I must say, I absolutely loved my character Amy: she is a young Asian-American Paralympian. Picking from a handful of survivors, with their own dialogue, skills, movement and so on, players must navigate through this zombie-torn world to find safety, shelter and help others along the way. This first-person, RPG-lite action-horror title is set days after a zombie outbreak, where LA is quarantined. In a delightfully sunny, lush world – covered in gore and zombies – the trailer teased a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at Hollywood mixed with horrific, zombie violence.Īnd surprisingly, it succeeds to a large extent. The previous titles, Dead Island and Riptide, both took place on, well, “islands”.

Many of us did not believe Dead Island 2 would ever come out, with its constant delays and frequent silence from its devs and publishers. However, ghosts of the first game’s inherent core do haunt aspects of this new entry into the zombie franchise. Eyes pop out of sockets, skin gets flayed, innards spill, as you take bats and clubs to zombies’ faces. Dead Island 2 contains the most graphically-detailed, up close, melee dismemberment unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.
