Dead Island 2 for me is the definition of "just ok". Not terrible, may not be worth your time immediately depending on your preferences. But I still thought it was a fun conversational video to have with you guys. Thanks for dropping by!
Already got my digital copy it is so worth 70$ game is so hype
yea the price point was a big deal.
The original was the same. You love it, or it's just alright. But for those who hold Dead Island close in their hearts, I'm sure it'll be a banger
If gta and dying light had a child lol
Its better then just ok lmao.
Playing through this the last few days really scratches an itch. I can’t remember the last time I finished a 50+ hour AAA game filled with bloat. This is simple, fun, and runs really great. I can see why people don’t want to pay full price, but if you enjoy zombie games and don’t have time to finish huge games, this really does hit the spot
So you like paying full price for a game that was 10 years In development and this is all they came with. only getting a 15 hour experience. No open world, no exploration, no replay value, horrible combat. Only thing the game has is the flesh system 10 years for that. I expected alot more for this long in development and they missed out on making it a open world game with such a good environment. Could done alot more more. And for 70 bucks and a 2 day game. The story line was taken from last of us too lol. I have the cure had been done. I wanted a reason to keep playing it but couldn't find one. A zombie killing game without enough zombies to kill sucks. I just wanted more from it. I'm just saying wait for the sale.
There’s something you aren’t getting, it has not been a steady 10 years of development. the production of this game was clearly plagued with issues and bounced between studios, and (I believe) started from scratch more than once. it’s unique in today’s AAA game landscape and a lot of effort clearly went into the map designs. between the fun setpieces, zombie variety, and gore system, it justifies its retail price
@@Nil2none You would of never made it in the ps2 era clearly
@@Nil2none the game was in development hell for 10 years 💀
@@Nil2none not that long ago games were $60 and 5-8 hours long. 15 hours is more than enough time for a game thats all about killing zombies. If you want some boring game with more cinematics than gameplay go play any of sonys exclusives.
I'm more of a huge open world guy. Also hearing that bosses one shot you, weapon durability still being a thing, how short it is... Not sure. I'll be waiting for a deep sale on this one at least.
The only developers that are actually cut out for this type of work is Techland
Haven’t watched this or any reviews because I wanted to go in blind. I played it all day yesterday and I think it’s bloody brilliant. Didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. Figured it will be just another zombie game that came way to late for it to grab my attention. Yet I can’t stop playing it and exploring. Graphics are great. Voice acting is great. The variety in the buildings and areas how there’s no cut and paste interiors they have all been unique. I think it’s the best zombie slasher game in years. Perhaps ever. Well worth the 60 price tag.
I always felt like the first Dead Island was just a beta for Dying Light
Yeah, I am really enjoying this game and I like well. I can't really say it, but it begins with c and ends in n boss fight. Hopefully, you know what I am on. I am trying not to spoil the game for people who have not played the game, yet I was getting fed up with open world game so for me, this is definitely a breath of fresh air
Bro I’ve been playing bad company on Xbox and having a blast. You can still find servers lol
Now THAT is the move
Ngl I'm not paying 70$ for that shit lol. I waited till dying light 2 was 30$ in Walmart so I'm Fixing to do the same with this. Plus by then most of the games issues that I guarantee are gonna be there might be fixed so it's just all around smarter.
Just got done a little play session (about an hour) with the Irish chick..Dani I think? I'm liking what I'm playing so far. Still trying to get the "perfect" dodging down but I might just try the "Block" ability when I can find it. A little annoying I can't just do it right from the get go but w/e small issue. Got some time off coming and Ima enjoy every minute of it in this game if I can. Good luck Zombie Slayers!!
My first thought was “this game has no right being this addictive.” I think a game being stuck in development for close a decade coming out in this state is nothing short of a miracle. Doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but a good ol’ zombie basher to turn off your brain and rock out to!
I just think that some people, be it at the publisher or the studio, just went "we need to keep it simple and get a solid product out". - Perhaps the preceding studios kept messing it up because they were too ambitious or whatever. But in the end, they just went back to basics and made it work. - That said, I find this game to be "the first game remade" anyway. The first was a mess, even for the time, feeling jank and looking terrible. - It's just a remake without calling it one.
Coop is a blast. My buddy and I have set up some hilarious stuff. I have laughed harder playing this game than anything else in awhile.
Honest question though wouldn’t you just play Dying Light 2 in that case
@@Bugga-Ray-Dudley on top of that, tech land added a LOT to the game for free!! Over a year later and still free. Unless you want that event stuff that’s kinda useless.
@@michaelmonstar4276 The 2014 version was open world with vehicles and apparently even extended all the way till San Francisco at one point. Then Deep Silver wanted parkour in the game to compete with dying light and that's where it all went wrong. Yaeger couldn't do it, Sumo Digital messed it up and they finally gave it to Dambusters who made it a back to basics game as they restarted development.
I mean I knew going into this the game wasn’t going to be mind blowing but after playing for a few hours it is some of that good old fun!
Isn’t that all that matters?

@@JayTrxpGaming if that’s all u want out of ur games then sure, everyone has to decide what they personally value in art & there’s no right or wrong answer
True...Im enjoying it so far...just an hour or so in though.
Which is all it was meant to be just like Dead Island it's a fun coop buddy game if anyone was going into this thinking they'd get something like Witcher then I'm sorry but they're not the brightest crayon in the box lol
I really hope this game does well because dead island 3 can be a really great game if they’re more ambitious.

More like 2043, games are taking longer and longer to make it seems like
You probably heard the news by now but the studio said that the game sold so well that they are already in talks of a dead island sequel. Along with sorry dlc for 2 so the series is revived
Been in a slump lately and haven't touched anything new, but the first game is my all-time favorite, and this might be what gets me to finally pick something up.
Sometimes you just need to smash some zombies 🧟♀️
If the first is your all time favourite game, Id say even if its ok to alot you'll love it regardless, enjoy!
Hey man if you wanna check out something new that’s actually Bomb af check out the new Resident Evil 4 remake. Fs one of the best games of all time
If the first one yo favorite all time wait til you play dying light 😳
@@JakeBaldino and sometimes you just need to smash some cheeks.. I think Mr Johnson here could use the latter
This game looks like an extremely high quality 3D render no matter where you're looking. The lighting and shadows looks amazing.
Coming from 2077's overdrive mode...eh it's kinda last gen
@@funtourhawk 2077 does not have good graphics idk what all the hype was abt tbh
It really does have high quality, especially if you have a high quality set up.

Shut up
@@funtourhawk what an embarrassingly low bar lmao
love the dynamic environment, reminds me of DOS2 or bioshock, which adds to the sandbox aspect of ways to kill the undead and utilizing the environment.
its environmental storytelling is as funny as the previous, like stumbling on a porno set in Deadisland 1.
The gore is a welcome one.
What is DOS2?

Hey @Jake Baldino I hope you are taking enough time for yourself to relax. I’m seeing in your eyes that you need a vacation. Make sure you take care of of yourself. Not trying to be pushy just on the last Friday episode you looked really exhausted. Make sure you take care of yourself man. No pressure! 💯
Patiently waiting for Gameranx’s friday news show for my grain of salt 🧂
SOON brother
The fact that games are going back to a "sort of" linear approach makes me really happy, I missed just having mindless fun and not having to treat a video game like a full time job.
Edit: This and Atomic Heart are two games for me personally were able to recapture the feeling of playing video games in my teens. Not all games need to be Dark Souls, CoD or Assassins Creed
You sound like MBG … 👀 burner account?
The worst thing is Assasins creed used to be a game like this a much better version of that structure but it was much more linear and direct in the story telling and
@@T1tusCr0w I wish lmao, then I'd actually have good content to post
@@Gerk_Jently 🤣🤌🏻👍🏻
Yeah but I expect the game to be amazing if it takes a lot of years to come out
8:45 Really wanted to see Becki the Bride get decapitated Jake! You're killing me here, man. That said, this is def one of those games I'd buy at a discount, maybe $40, but can still see myself having a really good time in. Loved the first one back in the 360, (which I also bought at a steep discount, lol) and love seeing LA in games so... Right up my alley.
I'm loving it, it never promised to be anything more than another dead island, and that's fine with me!
That is how I feel about the Far Cry games! If it ain't broke don't fix it. haha
@@LeadMe2TheBliss Wow somebody who doesn’t blindly hate Far Cry, thank Christ…
@@brawler5760 👍👍Yep, Far Cry games get a lot of hate for no reason, they are brilliant games for what they are!
Not being open world is a big selling point for me these days. Honestley, dying light 2 coming out and an announcing 500 hours of content stopped me buying it. Like I ever have time for that on one game 😂. Give me 20 hours of fun over 100 hours of filler any day!
This game is honestly one of the very few games that I genuinely wanted to succeed simply because of the efforts the devs put into it.
They literally revived a game that we all thought had died years ago and still managed to deliver so much more than our expectations, and they deserve the appreciation for that.
And I'm so glad to see this positive feedback from the community.
I’d really love to see these devs return for a sequel, they did an amazing job with what they were given and made what I think will be an incredible foundation to build from.
@robertcop3736 exactly, man. They will return for a sequel as the game seems to be already a commercial success
Your supporting mediocre then. This game is atrocious. Flashy graphic is all it takes for you I guess.
@@BruceWayne-xw6sg u literally ignoring why the game is so fun, and it's not cuz of "flashy graphics".
Also u contradict urself, u say its mediocre, then say its atrocious..😅😂
@@BruceWayne-xw6sg keep your depression to yourself please, your take makes zero sense
I really enjoyed the original Dead Island and Riptide. Played through them several times. They're simple fun, but very entertaining simple fun.
Never thought Dead Island 2 would ever come out but I'm finally going to get to play it tomorrow, God (and Amazon delivery driver) willing.
Open world games only are good if it's full of intrigue mystery and connection to other things. It doesn't matter how big it is if it feels empty. Red dead 2 did the best job at this.
that dead island trailer still gives me chills lol
It was on another level
Agreed!!!
i dont normally like these kinds of games. But, man, it's fun.
This game is exactly what I wanted. The first game wasn't amazing either, but I had so much fun with my friends. 9 years later this feels like the good old fun we used to have. I'm loving it.
DI2 is sooooooooo much better than DI but I definitely feel it’s roots in DI2
Exactly can’t wait for all the funny ass moments slayin zombies with friends
I'm enjoying Dead Island 2 quite a lot. The game looks good, runs smooth and gives me what I expected a zombie killing fun adventure.
I watched the trailer and all kinds of gameplay footage. Still didn’t think it looked that fun. I still got it for me and my son to play together. And for both of us, it is really addicting! Having a blast playing it.
I don't like not being able to shut doors behind me right now and re not getting the open-world feel to it yet but I am still at the beginning of the game other than that it's been amazing
This was the first game I’ve preordered since Cyberpunk. I was really looking forward to it since it got announced and figured I’d take a chance on the preorder. I’ve only played a couple hours so far but I like the world they’ve built. I’m not very far in yet but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m enjoying it. I’m also one of those people that has to explore everywhere and find every last collectible and the environment has made it fun so far. Now let me finish this video so I can get back to exploring and killing zombies 😂
Stop preordering you fool
I love it man. I stayed away from all reviews and stuff so I didn’t get any subconscious influences and I’m really enjoying it
Beautiful game man, my tip is don't rush to check every fuse lockers save them for late game so you will guarantee good weapons
@@FearDaReaper i never follow the reviews. I had the most fun on some games with the worst steam reviews.
@@bopo900 I usually don’t unless I’m struggling financially. Want to make sure I’m not wasting my time paying full price. But even then I end up buying it out of boredom lol this game is awesome tho. I can’t stop playing it
I feel the same about open world games these days, most of them feel like a huge waste of time. Running from point A to point B collecting all the little icons along the way isn't engaging whatsoever. Back when open world games were starting to come out it was fun but at this point open world games feel like a list of braindead chores.
They are. I feel like a lot of today's gamers prefer quantity over quality. Confusing to me but to each their own I guess.
I am one of those zombie people Jake. LOVE THIS GAME and Buy it now, we need more games like this 😎✌️❤️🔥
I love Dead Island 2. The smooth animation and how simple the game format is. Feels relaxing.
It's not a thinkers game but hey, what's to think about when there's zombies to bash. It's nice to have a break from puzzle solving just to follow a track bashing everything that moves.
Great review! Just bought the game today. The price really is irrelevant if you have a good paying job and have the means to play
As the bread winner I really don't mind spending the money
People who complain about the price don't got a job or crying for their momma's credit card
When u order dying light off of wish
Lol
lmao
Dead island was first
Dying Light was the Goat.
Lol that's funny, I do think it has it's own cool things tho put some soul and love to it that dosent make it "just another zombie game" I'd say even tho I didn't play it yet.
Someone said it’s as good as dying light 2. Dying light 2 sucks so I don’t know….
Saving it for when I can play it with some friends personally. Playing the original Dead Island with friends after highschool is still a very fond memory for me. It is exactly what I wanted from another game. I've seen people complain about the story, gameplay etc but that was never the point of it. Most important part is how fun it is to kill zombies with friends.
I don’t understand this game. It’s basically dying light lite. Zombie action with no parkour. What would make me want to play this?
I've always felt like these games aren't supposed to have deep stories or anything - You just wanna kill zombies in unique and creative ways. That's what I did with Dead Island 1 anyway. The story for the first was confusing and dumb tbh
yeah, I don't even remember it! lol there was an island.....?
@@JakeBaldino The only good zombie game with an actual fantastic story is Telltale's The Walking Dead. It's hard to make a good, realistic story when you have undead humans walking around i guess 😂
I don’t understand people man, like 1 thing I don’t see praised enough, even at all about this game is it’s graphics, the npcs are so realistic as well as its map ESPECIALLY the interiors, they’re hyper realistic like it’s insane.
This game is exactly what everyone should have expected. Any expectations above that is on them.
Exactly! It’s been 10 years, times have changed and people are stuck in the past. I love the game. Lol
While I agree it definitively should not be a full 70$. Feel like 40$ would be more reasonable.
Yup. And it works for me! It surpassed mine, though i agree the price was a tad too high.
Fully agreed
Disagree, story was horrible though never was going to doubt that just hoped they actually try this time. Most side characters and slayers have pretty bad dialogue. Experienced quite a few glitches with certain bosses not spawning in side quests and zombies just spawning right in front of you and even teleporting. Alot of quest both main and side were the same, dead island 1 had atleast some variety. So its not really "on them" thats just unfair to say. The fact you are easily sold does not mean everyone should be.
lol nothing against you jake but I was not that interested in it to begin with so I skimmed through the video and you were doing the same right to left swing every time! I will be passing on this rinse and repeat game!
A fair assessment and I don’t totally disagree! Thanks for stopping by anyway
I like it, its just good, silly, gruesome fun like some zombie movies can be
Not have too many problems on PC. Couple of times of frame rate dropped and that's about it. Agree that is overall just a good kick the zombies game.
Finally a decent AAA pc version
You just gave me the words I needed to describe how I feel about dead island 2, The developers focused on quality first so now they’ve allotted themselves the time they need to focus on quantity. what I mean by that is, they can focus on fleshing out the story, they can focus on the minor bug fixes, and they can focus on future DLC.
Dude DLC with new areas and weapons would be sick. Really hope they do that.
I don't understand the open world expectation, statistically only 15% of player's complete the main story in those type of games. I think we should go back to a smaller format. Even gta5 only took me 25 to 30 hours to finish with side quests.
Hey Jake Love your videos Appreciate all you do!
Full price game lol. Who buys a full price game? Just wait for a sale, green man gaming, cdkeys…
Preach!
4 hrs in and the game is pretty legit not blow your socks off but a fun good time. The 7/10 were accurate
4 hours in and your halfway done lol 😂
@@Nil2none is it really only 8hrs? No way
@@Nil2nonedepends on how you play
Dude i honestly agree. EVVVVERRY GAME is open world now days. and the formula does tend to get old. I stop playing things from time to time just for that reason. Because its always an over bloated open world game... full of the same type of crap that every other one has... Go here... Reveal the map... Collect 5 COllectables... Do this escort side mission...Clear out a enemy base... blah blah blah... ANd do all of that 20 times over for 60 hours. Its nice sometimes to have a game like this... or RE4 Remake.. that is a lot more linear... and simpler to accomplish.. and not overwhelming.. and not as repetitive and most importantly .. NOT EXTREMELY LONG AND BORING some games literally feel like a job after a while... dont get me wrong.. when done right... open world is awesome. (RDR2 for example.).... its just nice sometimes ya know to enjoy something simpler.. lol. I'm down to play this.
Game is just genuinely not that good at the end of the day. Development hell or not 10 years for this? Nah idk man. 24 main story quest some of which are actually fast asf, and 33 side quests which are extremely repetitive tbh, finished 70% of the entire game in entirety and the main story and it’s just so mid man, and the lines and humor are often cringe and just not it. Insane reuse of the same weapons over and over even deep into the game, also I’m not joking when I say 70% of things are hidden behind a locked door or you have to power a section up every single time like I mean dozens of times man if your doing side quests. I mean tbh horrible ending just shot out horrible boss, you get no unique weapons from it. Left just sitting there like “okayyyyy uh” 3/10 or a 4/10 and that’s on its best day especially for this game being $75 after tax like nah cmon bro let’s be real here. Only positive is graphics in some areas are nice(not all the time I’ve had pop ins some errors on the Xbox one X) and props where props are due gore system and flesh system on the zombies is 10/10 only thing that pushed me through tbh.
As a fan of the first game and riptide, I like many others, was waiting for this game for so long. It’s nice to finally have it here, we have come so far. I’ve been seeing a lot of review bombs on this game and a lot of people talking shit about it. But in my experience it definitely feels like the dead island I knew and loved except a little more tighter of environments but aside from that it’s so far been very enjoyable. The gore is amazingly done, I love the dismemberment, I’ve had quite a few “wow”moments with this game and there hasn’t been a game to do that for me in a long time. From what I’ve heard it is short, but knowing there is an expansion coming is pleasing. If you have friends to play this with it’s great fun! I highly recommend playing this as a co-op rather than solo.
Do stick controls return? You can tell the people saying they don't like it were all just spamming the trigger to attack and not even aiming for dismemberment.
@@mediumChungus69 I’m not sure, I play on pc with m&k
DL1 was dark and pretty dam awesome BECAUSE OF IT! and now this game....it should be called Dead island the reboot cause it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the original, not even with the tome or gameplay lmao tipical Millenial edgy funny loud written reboot.
Having such great channels like yours Jake, (and Gameranx) to talk about games and inform, I grabbed the deluxe version because I knew what I was getting before heading in! I love a game I can just jump into and get lost in, and I can tell you that I'll be one of those gamers looking into all those nooks and cranny's. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into all the things you do for us!
The fact that the game went through 9 years of dev hell and popped out like this is a huge W in of itself.
Just because "dead Island 2" was in development for 9 years, doesn't mean that the released version of the game took 9 years. The game has gone through 3 developers and was mostly restarted after the most recent dev took up the mantle. So did the actual released version take 9 years? No, it didn't
@@EvilSlayer398he didn't say it was developed for 9 years, he said it went through dev hell for 9 years so they obviously know what happened
I'm a casual, I love games that are easy to play and quit after a half hour or an hour. These days, too many games are way too involved. I get it if your hardcore, but I'm trying to accomplish things in my real life. I can't be crafting potions and forging for berries in virtual forests. LOL. (Clearly not an RPG guy, hahaha).
What stands out for me with this is & these are my first impressions. the sense of exploration, it's kept simple but detailed. Feels like there are things to find. The zombie killing incorporates an environmental & elemental strategy, I can throw a water canister at a group & electrify the zombies. It's as you said. Not bad.
The characters look like insufferable people and their character traits make no sense and none of them are relatable whatsoever. Also the enemy density is very low which is weird considering how densely populated California is. Also a lot of missed opportunities to break up the monotony of the animations with gun executions when you Parry are missing. The game is not funny whatsoever, and they mistakenly made it a comedy which makes no sense. There are no strong white male leads or strong Asian male leads. The game is short and the combat does not have enough depth. There can be comedy elements, but there is no dread or anyone being scared in a zombie apocalypse it is not immersive either. It’s a 5-6/10. The world is too barren and there seems to be very little replay value and considering all of this the game is not worth 70$.
I’m having so much fun. Playing this game in co op is some of the most fun I’ve had in a game in a while!
I liked the dead island definitive edition (the version they updated the looking around and stuff to make it smoother like riptide was) and riptide but I don't think im gonna touch this. And it's for one big reason, that being the combat. It looks slow and heavy and the zombies and players alike look VERY spongey and that's just not my thing. If anyone here has played and disagrees feel free to tell me, it's possible that it could feel great but just lacks the smoothness in the gameplay I've seen
Loving it. ❤
i like dead island 1 and riptide alot and i expected dead island 2 to at least have the features that made the originals fun for me and others 1. while not open world but at least as big as dead island 1 and riptide also originals had many more zombies per area 2. a skill tree or skill system like dead island 1 and riptide 3. most important of all the ability to replay the game with all skills, weapons, blueprints etc meeaning newgame plus witch many gamers agree. Dying light 1,dead island 1 and riptide, back for blood, dead rising 3 and 4 all better games thats a scientific fact. dead island 2 and Dying light 2 two bad zombie games two years in a row. As bad as Dying light 2 was its better than dead island 2 if u look at the comparisons the science,fact, game features youll see its true or live in denial as people do.
This totally validates my feelings for this game. I've only been playing for 5 hrs and it's been a good time. People have asked me about it and all I say is "It's nothing groundbreaking , but it's this simple, brainless, and fun zombie killing game."
I’m getting a lot of fun out of it right now, though I wish it was at most $60 so more people would be likely to get it.
I'm loving it and told my broke friends to wait till a sale and I will play through it again
It is ground breaking in the fact that it has raised the bar. Dying light 2 revamped its animations and gore because of DI2. Im hopeful that the expansions will add more meat to the bone. Pun intended 😄
The game is not bad, but not worth the price , overpriced definitely, duplicate zombies and minor bugs I've encountered,but good on them for putting it out there but that price is just not worth it compared to other AAA games,it's fun ,don't need to be open world,needed like replay value for each character and their story,but hey it is what it is.
This game wasn't on my radar at all but it looks like it's actually a good time. Simple and to the zombie killing point.
I'm kinda over 25+ hour games at the moment.
Not me I need more 25+ hour games tbh

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the marvel snap recommendation. I'm on holiday away from my console and it's been great to pass a bit of time. Please keep up the great work. Thanks.
Ps I still haven't tried out either plague tale game and I'm really excited too when I get the chance.
Open world being removed is what killed it for me. Part of the of the old Dead Island was looking at the map and knowing the routes to take to avoid the difficult and scary enemies.
I wanna play it so bad but it's $100 CAD well like 98 but plus tax that's definitely over 100 🤣 I'm sure it's a good game but for standard edition being that much? Ima have to wait till it goes on sale
im really enjoying it. It feels refreshing to play something fun that runs so well. Ive not had a single crash or bug. Ive never had that experience with a newly released game.
You literally sold me on it by saying it wasn't open world. So many games are open world and for no fuckin' reason because their worlds are boring and lifeless. I replayed Dead Island 1 in the last few months and still have to play Riptide, but when this is cheaper, I'll take a chance on it.
Need more games like this. Throwback to the golden age of gaming.
You sound like you weren't alive for the golden age of gaming. Ps2/xbox/game cube was the golden age
When I started this game, I felt disappointed for some reason. An hour later and I´m fully into it. Definitely going for multiple playthroughs with different characters and builds and I can´t wait for them to add a photomode.
waste of 70 bucks
Looks like way too much shit crowding up the screen at once. Enemy names& health bar, damage #s with each hit, crosshair, player health, "fury is ready"- it's all just too much.
Something i heard nobody talk about is the price point, at least in some regions. Where i live games are 80 $ + taxe. Newer games are sometimes 90 $. Dead island 2 on the other hand is 98 $ with taxes, it's almost 115 $ wish is completely ridiculous for such a game. Buying elden ring and resident evil 4 for 80 and then dead island 2 is 20 $ more. What were they thinking ?
It's a game about killing zombies, not everything has to give a deep narrative message or tone about the decay of human civilization or how we need to kill God again with the powers of teen angst. It does what it does just fine and that's good enough.
This is a game that’s one of those fun to look at wow cool and move on games. You know, the ones you’ll watch a video on but never play. I just think what’s the point after beating it. For $30 I might be down for the corny ride but for $60 I want the game to have legs and really give me a lengthy experience.
I'm temtep on getting the gold edition is 53€ in the play store...Though imma wait to end of the month before the offer ends ...Didn't play the first one!!!!
Work anywhere from 12-16 hours a day..come home fried...this is literally the perfect game to jump in and out of and escape to for a lil...needed it honestly
Game sucks dude. I am soooo disappointed. You get hit ONCE and your health drops to zero. 2 scratches kills you. I want a refund. No b.s.
Sounds like a good game for a sale.I get what these games are,but I always hope to hear they have a good story,but that is never the case lol.I have to say I am a little burnt out on games like this,but I will say this looks fun if your not.I just played through Dying Light 2 and that kinda left a meh taste in my mouth.It wasn’t bad,but just the same old same old with Zombie killing games.I hope this one brings more to the table then that one did.
It's good but it doesn't Give you that rush when your killing zombies like dying light 1 and 2 did, no tension more of a comedy zombie killing game
Jake, the hair man. You are looking like the Alien guy from History Channel. Just messing, love the channel and gameranx, keep the content up
I guess my only question is, is it only just a melee game or do you by any chance acquire weapons like a gun or rifle?
There are guns in the game as well
When you compare it to dying light combat and even the original dead island, this one's not cutting it for me. Dying light just did the update the day this came out, and the ways to kill zombies and tools is way better in them. Sad man I waited so long for this 😢.
Feel like some of these people will just shit on a game just to get attention. 🙄😐
it's definitely the type of game that's gonna be 20-30 bucks in 10 months, full price kinda baffles me with this one
It's the typical zombie story but if u put on music on and play it's so much fun 😅😅😅 like icp said murder makes me happy 😅😅
Deep Silver is a double A publisher that priced their game at a triple A market. All of their games are mediocre at best. I am not surprised how this game was reviewed
If you play Dead Island and then Dead Island 2,you will see a ton of difference,its day and night,not just from fps aspect its huge
Had a buddy preorder this 9 years ago pass away and never got a chance. Tomorrow I will purchase and kill zombies in his honor
I’m about 1/3 of the way through and I totally agree - it’s not mind blowing or anything but it’s good fun.
When I take my family out to eat it lasts an hour and costs $70…why is everyone crying about the price? Brokies
Definitely won't be paying full price for it but I'm excited to just have some dumb fun with it when it goes on sale
They made this game VR compatible? It would be much more immersive than faking 1st person in flatscreen
I love the dead island series but I cannot justify paying $70 for it when RE4 remake is $60
I think it's coming to game pass. I'll check it there but games are way too expensive to be paying for mid
