Dead Island 2 is one of the rare games that genuinely evolves its gameplay while respecting the franchise’s DNA. Gone are the tropical and exotic islands — welcome to the golden hell of Los Angeles and its iconic neighborhoods. This change of scenery is perfectly exploited.

The first undeniable strength: the graphics are stunning. It’s one of the most visually impressive games in its category. The dismemberment system is also a delight: precise, visceral, and highly realistic, it alone amplifies the impact of melee combat. The content is dense, striking a good balance between exploration, action, and progression. The world isn’t fully open, but the various zones are diverse enough to keep interest high: luxury villas, Californian beaches, dark sewers… Each place has its own atmosphere.

The enemy variety is also a pleasant surprise. The first encounters, especially against special zombies, can be truly challenging and immersive. The challenge becomes more engaging once firearms are unlocked. The crafting and weapon upgrade system is well designed, and some missions encourage you to utilize these options. Special shout-out to the DLCs, which I got on sale. They offer a real extension to the base game, with new enemies, weapons, and unique atmospheres.

SOLA: A DLC that offers great freedom, both in level design and gameplay. The vibe is fun, almost quirky, like an apocalyptic Woodstock festival under a blazing sun. The lore is enriched in a smart way. It’s a fantastic, colorful, and fast-paced blast (around 6 hours).

HAUS: Darker, more disturbing, this DLC plunges you into an oppressive atmosphere in a tightly contained district with a very distinctive aesthetic. Shorter (4 hours) but effective, it adds narrative elements to the Dead Island world and might even hint at Dead Island 3.

Despite my 40 hours of gameplay, I keep coming back with pleasure. It’s one of the few recent games I’ve completed 100%, and I recommend it without hesitation — especially when on sale. It runs well on both modest and powerful PCs (tested on two setups). If you enjoy zombie FPS games, go for it.
