Getting the timing right will reward you temporary advantages in combat, depending on the character you chose or the skill cards you have equipped.įor instance, the Safety First Survivor card will restore a small amount of health every time you time a dodge or block correctly. Far from a mindless hack-and-slash gameplay loop, the game also requires you to familiarise yourself with the move sets of each zombie type in order to time your block or dodge correctly. Instead, combat largely centres around going for the heads of the walking dead with whatever blunt (or cutting) instrument you have in hand. There are guns, but ammunition is extremely limited, and you don't find your first assault rifle until you're roughly a third of the way into the game. Unlike most zombie titles, the Dead Island series has a huge focus on melee combat. Set about 15 years after the events of Dead Island, the sequel sees Los Angeles being put under quarantine in the wake of yet another zombie outbreak.ĭespite the time jump and the new setting, Dead Island 2 feels very similar to its predecessor, except there are of course bigger, meaner zombies and more ways to kill them than ever.
A decade in the making, the game takes players back to a zombie-infested open world, this time centred on Los Angeles.
