    The right price for $15. Good improvements over the first game but still gets repetitive after a while.

    If you are a zombie fan you have to play this game. The graphics are stunning and the controls are on point! The levels are amazing with just the right amount of learning curve. I have pretty much all zombie games and this is one of my top 5.

    I’ve waited for this game since it was announced 25 years ago. Im now in my 70’s and retired so I’ve had penty of time to play. I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. Playing the first Dead Island and loving every minute of it really made me happy that this game wasn’t a bust. Thank you for reading my review.

    You won't be disappointed with this game, especially for the price. If you like FPS games where you're slicing and dicing up some zombies, with a decent story, this is for you.

    It’s a decent game, but different from the first entry. I do not feel the sense of urgency in helping NPCs as I did it in the first game. This one feels comical, while the first one was a bit more serious and ominous. I’d say get it when the price goes down. $70 is too much. Graphics are great, though.

    Solid game, but is in this weird space where it is simultaneously too open world and not open world enough.

    Typical Dead Island

    The game is OK, typical Dead Island. Combat, gore effect, and upgrades are fun and entertaining, but quest are repetitive and the storyline is flat. Is very fun to play though and graphics are pretty slick, especially the sceneries. It will give you more than 30/40 hours of gaming between main story and side quests.

    I’m only a decent handful of hours into the game, but I have to say that it is a blast. The graphics are stunning honestly and the game feels very responsive to you, at least on ps5

    Boring Story / Many issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although the graphics are stunning, the plot was poor. The map is terrible; it only gives you a limited amount of view; the side quests are monotonous and frequently take place in the same place (a hotel, the monarch studio, etc.); your inventory is small; you must constantly drop weapons; and I frequently got lost during the missions because there was no clear direction; at times it felt like I was in a maze. Numerous crucial items that you must locate during the missions are nearly invisible, and the only method to find them reliably is to pause in the room and perform a 360-degree scan of the area to spot them "shining". The main character's conversation is awful: "You just got bit,but you believe that you can (Amy) go to the nationals," like what? A zombie plague is currently affecting you. So far, even the pre-order steel box is disappointing. I wish it was different.

    The game can feel a bit short, however this sequel finds a way to stay fresh while very much maintaining the overall vibe of the original. The amazing detail in recreating the Los Angeles area and the amazing physics around zombie destruction make this game a solid outting!

    This was better than I expected it to be given it was delayed and in the dark for son long but given all that it turned out to be a pretty complete and enjoyable experience. I’ve actually platinumed it since it release so it held my attention long enough to do that so it gets an A in my book.

    This is a great shooter game. I like the part what you go in shoot the zombies and walk around the horror house. It’s like an open world type but then if you feel like those games, they gray, I recommend it.
