If you’re just hoping for more Dead Island to play with friends, with a bit more wackiness on display than the dark and dreary Dying Light series, then you probably have a lot to look forward to with Dead Island 2. The combat feels good and it’s fun to play, but I was personally hoping for a lot more creativity to set Dead Island 2 apart more from just being set in a different location from the first game, especially when we just recently got Dying Light 2 as well.

An undeadly virus is spreading across Los Angeles, turning SoCal residents into walking corpses. It took me out of the experience a bit to have such a static world, especially when that world is screaming at you to be interacted with and with how physics-heavy the combat feels. Dead Island 2 delivers a distinct mix of horror, dark humor, and over-the-top action that will leave zombie fans groaning for more.
