Honestly, taking in consideration how long this game has been in development hell, how many hands have passed it along, It's nothing short of a miracle that the game isn't a complete clusterfuck.

[@Dartnitt]

and optimization is great too which is impressive

[@robertsteiner4696]

The gameplay is tho. In a good way, half the time you don't even know what's going on but it's like your thinking "Fuck it I waited 10 years for this I don't care about shit besides killing zombies lmao."

@@MothFable For real, I rewatched crowcat's video on L4D vs B4B just a day before the game came out, and from what I've seen so far, intentionally or not, they really took Valve's design philosophy to heart, at least on the zombies part. The game is zombie-centric, so they made the best and most satisfying zombie slaying mechanics you could ever experience. It's just such a shame that the rest of the game is mid at best.

I agree. I didn't get this game for the story lol i knew it was gunna be extremely campy and cheesey. I got it for mindlessly killing zombies. And usually i dnt like 1st person melee games but they really did a good job with it. It feels very satisfying, especially with the haptic feedback on ps5.

[@fadeddeathkinght]

Far i also liked the game but you can't just be blind and not point out that its 70$ for a game the quarter the size the original map, removed cars, removed unique caricatures skill tree, removed legendaries, retcons the first game, and forgot new game plus and couldn't launch with multiplayer for PS4 and Xbox One so guess screw co-oping if you and your friends are last gen. Just play the orginal so much more content

[@Lucas_Farr]

As an Dead Island Veteran that's played the game for many times in the past, I personally enjoy Dead Island 2 and had a better understanding of the games story and gameplay, honestly was absolutely shocked for how good it is as the game truly had the OG feels of the good ol'days with the crafting, fighting and the movement is honestly so much better especially drop kicking zombies brings the laughs like in Dead Island 1 where you would jump kick zombies off edges or into the water to drown lol. Other than that I do wish I could be Logan again but maybe in future DLC perhaps but fornow Ryan is my 2nd favorite character alongside Logan but other than that Dead Island 2 is phenomenal as it's definitely worth the near decade of waiting, absolute gem of a game that I'll be happy to replay many times like I did with Dead Island 1 in my childhood.

I think this is a big reason why i'm loving it so much. 2010-2013 were golden years for gaming. It was before every single game had to have a season pass and released as an unfinished mess with a day one patch that's bigger than the download itself and only worried about microtransactions. The look and feel is everything I was hoping for after waiting so long and they blew my expectations away, and even though the game is new it's almost giving me a nostalgic feeling in a way.
