Need to slow down an incoming swarm?
Want to take away a monster’s ability to reach and swipe at you?
Go ahead and “disarm” them with a couple swings of something sharp.
Before you know it, you’ll have a huge and diverse arsenal at your disposal.
How about the zombies themselves?
Undoubtedly, their inclusion is a big part of why I never felt bored while playing.
Character progression has also been reworked in the sequel.
Some of the environmental puzzles thrown your way are also pretty bland.
Thankfully, these puzzles are fairly few and far between.
By far, though, the most impressive part of its presentation is the F.L.E.S.H.
It’s insanely impressive, and it makes fighting the zombies extremely satisfying.
Dambuster’s dynamic dismemberment tech produces the gnarliest and most realistic gore physics I’ve ever seen.
is complemented perfectly by the game’s stellar audio.
A flaming claymore sword. Because why not?
With that said, I did experience a few issues throughout my playthrough.
Once I’ve tested that version of the game out, I’ll update this section with my findings.
It’s one of thebest PC gamesof 2023 so far, and I can’t recommend it enough.
With Dead Island 2’s skill cards, there’s a ton of potential for unique and exciting builds.(Image credit: Windows Central)
