Nov. 2024

After 11 years of waiting for this game to come to Steam, I can finally share my thoughts... Was it worth the wait? In short, no. No, it wasn't. But I still enjoyed my time tearing through zombies, nonetheless! The gameplay is a lot of fun with plenty of action and gore! I'm still not sure how I feel about having supernatural abilities in a Dead Island game, but it did make for some exciting and overpowered zombie slaying :) As far as the story goes, I felt that it left much to be desired. For most of the game, the story just seemed okay — definitely different from the first game, but not bad. However, the end felt rushed and incomplete...it left a lot of loose ends, possibly setting things up for a future expansion or "Dead Island 3" (I really hope it isn't the latter). Personally, I found the ending to be very anticlimactic, which is a shame because it was fine up until that point. There are also a few more side missions that only unlock after you complete the main story. I don't know why the devs decided to do this, as it just feels unnecessary and out of place — they should've been available before the final cutscene, which would've made a lot more sense, in my opinion. If you're really just looking to kill some zombies and the story matters very little, you'll have fun with this! * UPDATE * The addition of New Game+ and Neighborhood Watch breathed new life into the game, giving players greater challenges and new opportunities to slay together. New Game+ adds 10 area bosses (revenants), which are much stronger versions of enemies you've fought previously and they drop some pretty nice loot. There's also an increased level cap for both your character and '+' weapons. Neighborhood Watch is basically 'horde mode' — fun, fast, and teamwork is crucial. While you can play it solo, I found it to be more successful (and enjoyable) with a full team of 3 players. I also like the additional outfits you can earn: one by slaying at least half of the revenants in New Game+ and one from completing enough challenges in Neighborhood Watch — I love having more options to customize my character, especially when I can earn them myself (not locked behind a paywall)!

This game feels like Piranha Bytes' Risen/Elex, it's very cheesy but it's fun. Don't expect an action/horror game like Dying Light, this is just 100% combat and some exploration/collectibles.

July 2024

Lots of fun. Great game-play and lots to do. I got this game to play with my son and he is learning teamwork and perseverance. Nah, just kidding. Mostly he and his stinky friend just keep on finding ways to blow me up, electrocute me, or set me on fire. Use birth control, people.

to get things off the game trys to pull a dirty and trys to get you to get epic games, i think people are a bit harsh and review bombing however it should be fixed... speaking of - X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2, delete the EpicOnlineServices folder - Open the "DeadIsland.ini" file change "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" there... theres your fix (i got it from a different review and it works. now for the game Pros: -classic dead island experience combat and gore all as it should be -weapon mods make you feel like a god -a new kick variant that sends zombies flying and is to funny not to spam -love the feedback from tearing clothes off zombies when slashing them -you fight she-hulk at her wedding -fury is satisfying cons: -the characters are boring and have 2d personalitys (early game) - i dont like the cards system and much prefer the old leveling up system compared to this card system witch in my opinion doesnt change gameplay too much compared to the first game -kind of disappointing ending

April 2024

Dead Island 2 is great game. I love the card system, fighting mechanics, different varieties of zombies and how silly some quests can be- Its so fun! This game doesn't deserve all the bad negative reviews, honestly. We are all aware about the hate against Epic Games, it's been said every 2nd review. You also have an option to skip the Epic Games services. As someone who watched my siblings play Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide, and later played it myself, it is so much more fun and polished. Joining random people is easy, and slaying zombies has never been more satisfying. I encourage players to play Dead Island 2!
