Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the engaging gameplay and impressive graphics as major highlights of Dead Island 2. The variety of weapons and the game's gory content also receive positive feedback. However, some customers find the storyline underwhelming and lacking depth. Overall, the game's strengths appear to lie in its action and visual elements.

    Waited forever for the sequel! I've gotta say I love it. It's been a blast. Great story and graphics, although I wish the storyline was longer and the world was a little more open. I think production was probably rushed after going from developer to developer, but aside from that 10/10 recommend.

    This game is such a blast!! I’m in no rush of beating the game, just enjoying every minute of it. Now was the $100 extra stuff worth it? I’d say if you have the money to blow yes.. because it comes with the pass and extra stuff but the extra stuff really isn’t worth it. You find a ton of better options in game already so you won’t be missing out if you don’t get the extra add content. Definitely worth the buy & the wait! I’m having more fun in this than dying light 2 forsure.

    Absolutely love that I got two steelbooks for this game thanks to the Hell-A Edition. Gameplay is great mindless fun and the steelbooks are on point. I will always pre order through Best Buy if they provide a Steelbook over the competition. Everything arrived on release day and was all shipped in boxes for optimal safety in transit. Best Buy Teams please make sure to always ship steelbooks in boxes. Nobody wants a dented one. Very well done in this instance.

    exceptional graphics! but the story and contents are very short only 20 hours of game but its quality over quantity splendid game! Killing zombies are the best thing next to call of duty! Different character have very own dialogues so you can replay it as much and it varies per characther the experience! This is truly the next gen game!

    Hell A edition

    Overall. The items in the hell-a- edition are quality. However useless they are. Is it worth the $30 extra ? Depending on how much the expansion pass will be on its own. This might have saved some $. The game disc comes in the steelbook. There is no regular retail case. Havent played game. Hoping its different than dying light

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Glad I was able to cancel my pre-order elsewhere for this wonderfully put together package w/ extra Steelcase that arrived afterwards! My store was able to assure me that it would be delivered soon, and no damages thru the process/carrier.

    The game is great. At first I didn’t really like the lack of vehicles. It had them in the other games so I was hoping it would have them here. After playing they are not really needed. The game is not open world as it was stated though this was like 10 years ago so obvious changes were made. I like the fact it’s not open world, it keeps me from getting bored in a big open city with nothing to do. I wish they included some areas in downtown LA as I think it would’ve looked super awesome to do something like that. The ending was super sudden and it Felt like like other things were missing. Other then that the gameplay was great. The story was decent. Nothing too crazy and nothing that gets you attached to your character but it keeps you hooked all through the story so that’s good enough for me.

    My order came on time as well as no damage to the package at all. Plus the tracking was accurate which was nice. As of right now Best Buy has my trust when it comes to preordering games from them. Especially any steel books that may be available. Overall I am satisfied. Side note the game itself is just plain dumb fun as long as your expectations are reasonable.
