When I play games of this nature, I tend to lean hard into wanting to being a monster of dishing out the most damage possible. Luckily for me, Dani was one of the heavy hitter type builds who promotes up close and personal combat. Each has their own unique stats and related skills to their character as well.
I chose the Irish rockabilly badass called Dani because I could not turn down stomping on zombie skulls in spiked cheetah print loafers as she says “feck”. Now you may be saying to yourself “Los Angeles isn’t an island!?” but when you are cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded by flesh-eating monsters, it can truly feel like it is.Īt the start of Dead Island 2, you chose out of a few different characters to play as from a motley crüe that includes a firefighter who is actually an exotic dancer in a costume, a Hollywood stuntman, and many more colorful characters. So I commend them on that so nothing about the long development plays into my thoughts on the game itself other than positively knowing people didn’t sleep under their desks for a month prior to get it on shelves.ĭead Island 2 takes place in a zombie-infested Los Angeles which is quarantined and essentially left to rot by the military. I do not care how important you believe your game is, the well being and health of your employees is more important. One of the studios working on the title, Dambuster Studios parent company Embracer Group has released statements about practicing healthy work life balance in order to not indulge an industry where crunch happens rampantly. Lots of games take a long time to come out and I would much rather wait for another installment of a franchise I enjoy rather than knowing the devs were forced to crunch. But then I had to stop myself and reevaluate to come at this from a fresh approach. When I started the game, the opening cinematic graphics felt super out of date and I rolled my eyes. Before I talk about what the premise of Dead Island 2 is or anything review centric, I do want to be clear that the wait time for the release of this game is not factored into my review at all.
