Product Information

In an interview with PCGamer, creative director James Worrall revealed that while the game doesn’t have a branching narrative, the six player characters offer different perspectives. In an interview with VG247, Adam Duckett, design director at Dambuster Studio, elaborates on the matter: "Ranged weapons have ammo, so melee weapons have degradation.

Dead Island 2 feels like a relic from that era, exhumed and reanimated with very little acknowledgment that titles such as Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Last of Us, Assassin’s Creed Origins, God of War and Elden Ring have very much moved the dial on. At a garage next to where you initially entered Bel-Air you will encounter the mutated Mailman who is now a formidable Slobber with zombie backup. An essential revamp of the zombie gaming universe, Dead Island 2 packs blood, guts and powerful weapons into brutal gameplay. While you can ignore the basic zombies make sure to take down the stronger variants and named enemies whenever possible. As you progress through Story Quests and explore levels new locations will become available for you to unlock.It isn’t going to be the cinematic zombie game like The Last of Us: Remastered or the emotion-laden Specs Ops: The Line. It’s a credit to everyone involved that it actually functions as a finished product, albeit one that shows the scars of its troubled gestation. PS5, Series X and Series S also get improvements to shadow quality and effects work, plus environmental animations for trees - where the last-gen versions present them as static objects. As you explore Bel-Air in Dead Island 2 you'll likely need to backtrack sell or purchase items or repair your weapons.
