it feels like.... coming home

As a long-time fan of zombie games, Dead Island 2 has quickly become one of my favourites (also Dead Island). Right from the get-go, the game's setting in a zombie-infested Los Angeles—hellishly dubbed HELL-A—grabs you with its mix of familiar landmarks and apocalyptic decay. The developers, Dambuster Studios, have truly outdone themselves in creating an environment that feels both hauntingly real and thrillingly dangerous.

Immersive Setting and Narrative
The narrative thrusts you into the roles of six diverse survivors, each with their own quirks and backstories. My personal favourite has to be Dani, whose spunky personality and unique abilities add a refreshing twist to the otherwise grim atmosphere. The story is engaging enough to keep you hooked, with plenty of twists and turns as you navigate through iconic locations like Beverly Hills and Venice Beach. The addition of the Skill Cards system lets you customize your character's abilities, adding a layer of strategy that I found immensely satisfying.

Combat and Gameplay
But what truly sets Dead Island 2 apart is its combat. The F.L.E.S.H. system, which allows for detailed dismemberment of zombies, is nothing short of revolutionary. It's gruesome, it's visceral, and it's incredibly fun. I can't count the number of times I've gleefully hacked my way through hordes of the undead, each encounter leaving a trail of carnage that felt deeply rewarding. Whether you’re crafting makeshift melee weapons or wielding powerful firearms, the combat never gets old.

Atmosphere
Visually, the game is a feast for the eyes. The stark contrast between the sunny, glamorous LA and its current state of decay creates an atmosphere that's both beautiful and eerie. The attention to detail in the environments and character designs is impressive, making every moment spent exploring feel immersive. The sound design complements this perfectly, with ambient noises and zombie growls keeping you constantly on edge.

Co-op Mode or as I call it friends mode
One of the highlights for me has been the co-op mode. Teaming up with friends to tackle the zombie apocalypse adds a whole new dimension to the game. The cooperative gameplay encourages strategic planning and teamwork, making each session unpredictable and exciting. It's an absolute blast to coordinate attacks and share the horror (and fun) of surviving in HELL-A.

Post-Launch Content
The post-launch support has also been stellar. With expansions like Haus and SoLA, there's always new content to dive into. These expansions have not only added more hours of gameplay but have also enriched the overall story, keeping the experience fresh and engaging long after the initial playthrough.

Conclusion
Dead Island 2 is a standout title in the zombie genre. Its blend of immersive storytelling, visceral combat, and cooperative gameplay makes it a thrilling ride from start to finish. If you're a fan of zombie games, this one is not to be missed. It's a game that I keep coming back to, and with its recent release on Steam, it's more accessible than ever for a broader audience to experience the gory joy of surviving in HELL-A.

Ein sehr lustiges und gelungenes Jump'n'Run-Spiel ganz nach Super Marios Kochrezept.

Ich sehe in diesem Spiel viel Potenzial! Schwierigkeitsstufen sind bereits vorhanden, können aber auch hier noch beliebig ausgebaut werden.

Eine Idee für die Entwickler wäre, dass man einen Leveleditor hinzufügt, ähnlich wie bei "Super Tux". Da wäre der Communtiy keine Grenzen mehr gesetzt.

Skepsis zu Beginn - Spaß, gute Laune und Freude im Verlauf!

Nach viermaligem Durchlauf kann ich dieses Spiel jedem empfehlen, der Lust auf etwas Spaß und Ballerei hat, ach ja, man sollte kein Problem mit Sexismus haben :P

Es ist ein Singleplayer Ego-Shooter wie er im Buche steht... oder auch nicht.. wieso?
Das Spiel ist für seine Zeit gut gehalten worden, was den graphischen Aspekt betrifft, so auch das Gameplay. Die Portierung für Konsolen und PC ist gut gelungen. Ich hatte keinerlei Schwierigkeiten mit dem Gameplay. Habe dieses Spiel auch auf der PlayStation 3 einige Male durchgespielt.

Im Spiel gibt es diverse Waffen, die für unterschiedliche Gegner , sowohl Soldaten, als auch Monster besser bzw. schlechter sind. Jeder findet im Verlauf des Spiels seinen Favoriten. Einige Mini-Spiele sind herrlich für den Zeitvertreib. Bei mir sind da etliche Stunden dahin geschmolzen. Allein am Flipperautomaten verbrachte ich 20 Stunden.

Jede Level hat ihren eigenen Stil mit vielen unterschiedlichen Aufgaben, wo ab und an auch das Denkvermögen gefordert wird. Keine Sorgen! Genies werden nicht zu Tisch gebeten.


ES IST DER DUKE!!!!
