I thought to myself, I’m going to be charging headfirst into zombie hordes, so I won’t be backstabbing much. Jacob gets a stackable minor damage boost and extra crits when stamina is low, while Bruno is good at backstabbing zombies. There is Jacob, Bruno, Carla, Dani, Ryan and Amy. This game is just full-on fun and action packed from the opening scenes where we get to choose who we will slay as through HELL-A from one of six characters, all of whom have specific innate skills that help you make your decision. I had a few crashes early on in my playthrough but in checking in with other reviewers, it seemed to be just a me problem as they were having no issues at all and commented that it was one of the better performing AAA PC releases of the year. This game is a visual treat so long as your PC can handle it. From the high level of detail in each character you meet, to the vast expanses of landscapes within cities and cliffs overlooking Beverly Hills, to hacking off limbs of so many zombies.

Dead Island 2 takes players across iconic locations of the City of Angels, now stained with horror, in an exciting pulp journey from the verdant suburbia of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach. Later you find out you are resistant to the pathogen and therefore hold the future of the humanity at stake. Miraculously you survive, albeit with a metal shard sticking out of your guts. But of course, a zombie made it on the plane and with infection spreading so fast, the plane is shot down. After seeing the zombie infection spread fast, only you and a handful of others make it onto a plane to fly out of there. The intro cinematic sees Los Angeles in quarantine and the military have retreated. This sequel takes what was great about the first game and adds a fantastic story, amazing gory graphics and it’s just so fun and satisfying slaying so many zombies in so many ways. While initially I was comparing the game to Dying Light 1 and 2, it was Dead Space that came first and laid some very good foundations. Now thankfully, due to wok of very passionate developers, Dead Island 2 is finally launching on all platforms on April 21, 2023, and it is well worth the wait. The sequel has been a long time in the making, when there was a point where it didn’t look like it was going to happen at all. Dead Island 2, by Dambuster Studio and Deep Silver, is the sequel to the smash hit zombie slayer Dead Island from 2011.
