Dead Island 2 Hell Edition

The new creators of Dead Island Games did add artsy skill cards for each level up.The weapons are colored according to rarity from white as common to purple as super rare.There’s not a lot of freedom in game to move around as in first Dead Island.I haven’t been able to drive cars in the game yet.The creatures in it are faster,so expected infected zombies everywhere.The thugs have different appearances & titles,& hitting them on the knees crouched is actually suggested in game,where before the players invented it,that technique.Thig type characters also just don’t stand there dumb like waiting for you to get near you.They have ability too now,& when spot you will climb a car to get to you.The pitchfork type weapons while on a car keep you fat of their huge blows.While the new creators of this game offer new things,I still think Dead Island 1 is the best.I am disappointed that I paid for Hell Edition & got 2 stupid pins like a shark & cherry,& trading cards.The Deluxe edition for other game had a hula character,,a neat suitcase lunchbox,& a zombi hand magnet.I would wait until this game is out a few years to buy it cheaper.The new creators should have tried to keep a lot of the qualities of the original Dead Island creators.Us Dead Island gamers have been waiting since 2017 for Dead Island 2 & the wait wasn’t worth it.

Surprisingly fun zombie game. Story is average at best, but it never gets old watching zombies turn into goo. Very reminiscient of the first game despite being by a different developer.

tons of character skins and weapons included, plus the season pass for upcoming DLC. The steelbook case is rad and better than the other standard edition steelbook. The Tarot card set is also a really cool addition.

Very fun game. Good bloody combat. This edition comes with the season pass for only $30 over the standard copy so that alone makes it a good deal, making the other DLC content and physical goodies basically just extra

The collectors edition is pretty cool, it ships with a steel book and six DLC codes for the game. For how large the box is, it’s rather small and doesn’t take up as much space as I thought. I recommend the game.

Been waiting for this game ever aince the forst teaser trailer came out in August 2014. So far this game does not disappoint, it’s a lot of fun and even better if you play with friends.
