Dead Island 2

Anyone else pick this one up? Loved the original two.

So far so good! Great Hack’n’Slash fun, but can become a bit repetitive with Fetch quests. The main story has been canny though, and I’m about halfway through playing as the fireman. Looking forward to a few play through a as you can pick different characters with different abilities (and I’m assuming missions).

I've got Dying Light 2 so not sure I'd bother with this as seems the same gameplay.

Loved Dying Light 1 but could not get into 2 at all.

I'm enjoying it, playing as Ryan. It is much the same as the first one, and a bit like Dying light but I do like zombie survival hack and slash gameplay.

I've been the same, even though the traversal is much more fluid in the 2nd.

Think it just felt a bit too “out there” and gamey. The world design for instance. Along with the HUD which looked like an old sega game.

I think it’s Ryan I’m playing as at the moment.

There’s a moment where you encounter a special Zombie on the Pier. It has me in stitches with the voice acting
