This becomes even more evident when it comes to fighting the infected.

The details of LA and the character models are impressive. My first impression of Dead Island 2 is that it looks stunning. Can your immunity to becoming infected be the key to creating a vaccine for this infection? After trying to help fellow passengers your survivor gets bitten but they don’t become infected like everyone else. As you escape the plane wreckage, you are soon surrounded by chaos and find yourself trying to defend against the infected. You survive a plane crash that your character was on in an attempt to evacuate from the infected outbreak in LA. I would suggest also taking into consideration their voice and personality as you get to hear them a lot throughout the playthrough. You get to choose from 6 different characters to play as and each have their strengths and weaknesses. Dead Island 2 has taken some strong steps in stretching itself in each area.

Telltale‘s Walking Dead series had some amazing storytelling, the Dead Rising series pushed the envelope with the volume of zombies on screen at once as well as being farfetched when it came to the story and weaponry, and we have also had the Dying Light series which had a very serious action take on the zombie apocalypse. It’s been over 10 years since the original Dead Island hit the shelves and there have been many varieties of the zombie genre in gaming.

Developed by Deep Silver Dambuster and published by Deep Silver, the zombie apocalypse slasher is back with a vengeance.
