unlabelledView post →Finishing off this game and it's Final Expanision before work. Kinda wish Dead Island 2 gave the characters more of a story arc for them instead of a group layout. I know my slayer was looking for his brother, but do we ever really know what happened to him.

unlabelledView post →A friend gifted me Dead Island 2 and it's weird how after years of a much talked about development hell, the game, which is sort of a slow paced Left 4 Dead with fantastic melee combat (and a Karen O song as the main theme?), turned out to be actually really good and barely anyone talks about it
unlabelledView post →Trying to decide what my next game will be. This is what's currently installed. I've already completed Astro Bot, Spider-Man 2, and Dead Island 2. So it's down to Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar, Suicide Squad, or Cyberpunk.
unlabelledView post →Dead Island 2 is a game that feels so confident while at the same time not promising you a life changing experience it can't fulfill like so many other games, it presents itself as a game where you beat up zombies with cutting edge gore simulation and that 's exactly what you get.
unlabelledView post →Dang, Epic's doing a big sale and giving away Dead Island 2 (a pretty neat game, especially in co-op) to celebrate their big legal win over Apple, it seems.

unlabelledView post →The character I've been playing as in Dead Island 2 is Ryan, and since I ignored all of the story when I started the game and skipped all the cutscenes, I thought he was a legit fireman. Then his dialog made me realize he's actually a stripper 😆

unlabelledView post →I got into #DeadIsland2 over the weekend and I think it’s the only first-person game I’ve ever played where the melee combat really feels like you’re slamming the shit out of things rather than waving a weapon back and forth in the air. Also ❤️ Bruno.
unlabelledView post →Dead Island 2 was free on Playstation Plus so I downloaded it. I'd say it's better than the first one, but it still has all the same problems.
unlabelledView post →I bought Dead Island 2 for like 5 bucks when it was on sale and was kinda jazzed to play a fun goofy open world game but it had a shitty error that kept me from playing it and the solutions online required waaaay to much effort for a game that should run on my pc so I refunded it and am kinda sad

unlabelledView post →Platinum #58 was Dead Island 2. This game fucking ruled. Definitely recommend if you like fast-paced combat and crunchy mechanics. 🏆
unlabelledView post →Finished #DeadIsland 2 on #PlayStation 5. While the game looks gorgeous, stupidly visceral, and has really nice combat, the story is pointless and some characters are obnoxious. Also didn't enjoy the card system. I guess the first Dying Light set the bar too high for me.😅

unlabelledView post →Fuck reviews. Play the game yourself or find a content creator whose tastes strongly align with your own and watch their playthrough. If I blindly followed reviews & group think I wouldn't have tried games like Slitterhead, Dead Island 2, Forspoken, Rage 2, & Hell is Us.

unlabelledView post →This morning while playing Dead Island 2 with @doandroidsdream.bsky.social for an hour or so I think I hit 4 or 5 songs without thinking because someone talking in game made me think of it so there it came. This happens with songs I didn't know I knew. Seriously, is there a term for this? (fin)
unlabelledView post →What I love about Dead Island 2 is a lot of the things that you mentioned about the first game. The atmosphere (sun soaked LA looks gorgeous), the sound design is wonderfully crunchy, and the damage system is beautifully nasty! Also, there are no "one hit kill" zombies that I can recall.
unlabelledView post →I’m enjoying Dead Island 2. The gameplay is nowhere near as simple as I initially thought, and I actually think the plot is pretty well done. But the real highlights are the different areas, each with its own unique character and atmosphere, packed with details. They really feel like a living, breathing world (overrun by zombies). #DeadIsland2 #ShareYourGames #Gaming

unlabelledView post →While I couldn't get into the first Dead Island, I absolutely love Dead Island 2 (I just beat it for the 2nd time and started a NG+, and I'm still loving it! It's the game that I wish the Dead Rising games were!
unlabelledView post →Every time I play Dead Island 2, I’m delighted by the locations. Santa Monica, Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, they all have their own distinctive atmosphere. And there’s quite a bit of environmental storytelling to discover. I was expecting much more linear design and fewer details. The plot is decent enough, but I’m not really connecting with the characters. #DeadIsland2 #ShareYourGames #Gaming

unlabelledView post →I’m making slow progress in Dead Island 2. That’s not because the game isn’t fun. On the contrary, I’m really enjoying it. But my sessions only last 45-60 minutes. All that carnage is usually enough for me. 🤪 #DeadIsland2 #ShareYourGames #Gaming
