These moments make Dead Island 2 an incredible action game. There are so many cool ways to approach each encounter in Dead Island 2 that I would often get distracted by killing countless zombies I would forget what I was doing in the first place. Be it swinging a mallet around with a blast modifier that shot zombies into the distance or simply firing my hunting rifle at a Crusher as it slowly crept towards me. Not only did it feel great to toss a water bottle at zombies who were standing near a damaged street pole but watching gas canisters blow them apart like bags of flour made every trip through the sewers worthwhile.Įven after I finished the main game and went back to clean up some quests, the combat in Dead Island 2 was just as satisfying as it was 20 hours before. Dead Island 2 wants you to use every gas canister, water bottle, acid barrel and electric wire to take down the hordes across the game. Given the whole “end of the world” situation, these areas are also littered with zombies, environment hazards and hidden items. Dambuster did an excellent job bringing these hubs to life and every detail is to the point. I have been to LA a few times and I kind of missed it while exploring the beach at Santa Monica Pier. If anything, these areas are wonderfully designed. They also came with new side quests to take on, people to meet, locations to explore and zombies to bash.
Each area is based on an authentic place in LA. As I progressed the main story, I travelled to a number of new areas. With that in mind, Dead Island 2 follows a similar hub approach to the original game too. There’s an overarching story involved in Dead Island 2 which I won’t spoil but I will discuss some issues with it later on. As a result, they set off to escape LA but things go south very fast and you end up running errands for the snobs, the survivors and even the military in the area. Similar to the first game, Dead Island 2 puts you in the shoes of a Slayer who is immune to the zombie plague.
