    This game is definitely worth owning ans playing in 2024! Each character brings its own unique gameplay and character to life. Killing zombies with different weapons and ability is so much fun. Definitely way better looking than the original PS4 version.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A decent game. Visually stunning, the graphics look extremely good. However, the issue is repeat gameplay. Every mission feels the same, and very little feels “open world”. For horror fans, worth a play, but for casual gamers, maybe not

    Haven't finished the main story yet but it certainly is fun. Weapons seem a bit fragile, especially at the start, but that may just be to promote you using more variety. Story is engaging enough to keep me coming back. I enjoy tracking down some of the side quests.

    Enjoy the graphics and the basic storyline. A little repetitive to search constantly for weapons upgrades. At 29.99 pricepoint, I am satisfied

    Its not terribly cerebral, but it is a ton of fun. I would definitely recommend it. It is on the shorter side, which is honestly pretty refreshing. It wont take you more than about 30 hours to see it all. Definitely worth your money if youre thinking about it.
