Dead Island 2

There's fun to be had but only when the characters all shut the fuck up. The tone is awful, the dialogue is a conveyor belt of cringe, every character sucks, and the performances sound like every voice actor was directed to be as obnoxious as possible. Oh also, you guys know that Los Angeles isn't an island, right? Two games in and you couldn't think of another island?

One of the most fun zombie games I've played. It is half-open world which is great because every level is detailed in terms of story and level design. It is funny, compact, same old nice zombie slaying game. And I admit I wasn't expecting the new gore system to be this much fun but it indeed impacts the game in a great way. Every detail is there, every slice, every hit makes a different result. One and only downside for me was boss battles.

While I acknowledge that it's basically the same game as the first, glitches, same type of combat, feel, etc... I'm okay with that. This game shines when playing with someone because it allows some really silly outcomes to the zombie slaying. And accidents, in my case, because I'm always molotoving my brother. Oops. It gave me what I wanted. Also, I might be wrong here, but it feels like they actually shrunk the open world, which I dig because I'm sick of massive open worlds all the time.
