Most of the bugs in Dead Island 2 are of the harmless, goofy variety and are easily fixed. This created a hilarious situation where it looked like the other characters in the scene were talking to the crossbow. In another instance, an NPC sank through the floor during a cutscene, but the crossbow they had strapped on their back stayed in the correct spot. In one incident, an attempted zombie execution resulted in our character phasing through a nearby object and being trapped there. There is some serious jank in Dead Island 2. Unfortunately, backtracking is far from Dead Island 2's biggest problem. There's surprising variety with the objectives players are tasked to complete over the course of the main story, though the side quests often have them going back through previously-covered ground, making them far less engaging. Players are able to progress the main story as they'd like or set it aside to focus on side content if they'd rather do that instead. Players will experience Dead Island 2's story as they complete the game's 20+ main story quests and over 30 side quests. Fans of the original Dead Island will get a kick out of seeing Sam B again and some of the dialogue can be funny in a schlocky B-movie sort of way. Instead, the real story comes from the interactions players have with the other survivors in Los Angeles, as they all work together to try to get out alive.ĭead Island 2's story isn't particularly engaging, and the ending is extremely underwhelming, but there are still plenty of fun, surprising moments in the cutscenes. The playable characters in Dead Island 2 aren't particularly important and while they have their own distinct backstories, they don't have unique character arcs. Dead Island fans are used to waiting extended periods of time for games in the series, but the question is if Dead Island 2 was worth the wait.ĭead Island 2 is set sometime after the events of the original Dead Island game, starring a mostly new cast of characters who find themselves stuck in a zombie-ridden Los Angeles. Dead Island 2 has had a notoriously rough development cycle, with the project changing hands between multiple developers and ultimately taking nine years from its initial announcement to actually hit store shelves. The original Dead Island was trapped in development hell, and the sequel found itself in the exact same boat.
