![]() ![]() These zombies require different strategies, and it’s not enough to just pounce on them. Not just simple zombies, but special types such as the Apex Screamer, who attacks with his voice and attracts other zombies the Inferno Crusher, who is fireproof and shoots flames or the Beast, who is big and strong. ![]() These features enhance the enjoyment and creativity of combat.īut Dead Island 2’s combat system is not only varied, it’s also challenging. You can also take advantage of being infected and activate Fury mode, which allows you to punch or tear zombies to pieces more forcefully. There’s a F.L.E.S.H system (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids) that allows you to dismember zombies in a myriad of horrific ways. Weapons can also be modified, for example by adding spikes or flamethrowers. There are katanas, machetes, hammers, pistols and many more. There are a lot of weapons in the game that you can find or make yourself, which you can use to kill zombies in various ways. On a positive note, the combat system in Dead Island 2 is sufficiently varied. In this element, it falls far short of Dying Light, which did a much better job of first-person melee combat. Also, the blows to the zombies are not realistic enough, you don’t feel the punch and brutality you would expect from a game like this. The animation of the melee combat is a bit “floaty” – it’s as if there’s no weight to the various heavier weapons, such as an elongated iron pipe or any heavy object.

The zombies look great too, with a wide variety of undead types and looks. The environments are detailed and lifelike, and the lights and shadows are beautifully rendered. You can visit some of the most iconic locations in Los Angeles, such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Hollywood. The sun-drenched California and decaying Hollywood all contribute to the feeling of being in the middle of a real zombie movie. Especially in the first part of the game, the visuals are stunning, and the design does not spoil the zombies. But will it be enough to compete with the similarly themed Dying Light game series by the first Dead Island developer? Or just another zombie disappointment?ĭead Island 2’s graphics and environmental design are simply stunning. The creators promise brutal melee combat, colorful-smelling locations, a humorous story and an unforgettable co-operative mode.
