    It is a game that I had expected since the launch of the first part. I come back to relive this great story of zombies, weapons and more action.

    Best Buy shipped the standard edition of the game twice. even though I complained to them the first time, and the customer service rep assured me the second time they would ship the Day One edition. The only resolution they are offering to correct the situation is they will fully refund me if I return both games to my local store. That I can try again once the game becomes available in the store, or that i can have a rep help me find something with the same features. So helpful.

    Had a lot of fun with this one. It's much more linear than I expected but I wouldn't consider that a negative. The world is divided up into zones/hubs not really open world. The story is pretty standard but not bad and the characters are great. It's pretty goofy but charming. I think it's better than DI1 but not as good as Dying Light. If you like zombie games, this is a good one.

    Visually it's beautiful, multiple characters to choose from depending on your style. Good amount of variety of zombies. The story is good and the reference it makes from the previous survivors in Dead Island 1 and Riptide. Looting for scraps or weapons is addicting. Grinding for special crafting items from special infected is fun. Can get annoying from butchers but worth it.

    Too much fun to hate on. It blends a certain macabre comedy which only upped the zany joy of mowing down zombies in new and calculated ways.

    "Dead Island 2" delivers heart-pounding zombie action in a vast open world. With satisfying combat, immersive exploration, and multiplayer fun, it's a thrilling addition to the genre. Despite occasional bugs and a somewhat shallow storyline, it's a must-play for fans of survival horror games.
