Dead Island 2

|June 2023
It's been nine years since Dead Island 2 was announced, and the zombie bash-'em-up has finally been dragged out of development hell. Is it worth your time... or dead on arrival?

Los Angeles is many things, but one thing it most definitely isn't is an island. That might make it seem a curious choice for the setting of Dead Island 2, but the sands of Venice Beach certainly suit the theme of a zombie-ravaged paradise.
Rather than letting you loose to find a way to escape the city, LA's fairly large and detailed districts follow a linear pattern of way-points barred by missing circuit breakers or locked doors; but traversing them on foot isn't as engaging as the parkour in, for example, Dying Light.
You'd be cross too if you'd had your head dipped in boiling poo.
