Dead Island 2

"Dead Island 2 is a hilarious gore-fest and a competent zombie-slaying adventure, but lacks creativity outside of its great sense of humor. (...) Rating: 7 (out of 10)" 

"While the narrative itself is fairly uninspired (...) Dead Island 2 just doesn’t need to be anything more than it is. There’s enough offered throughout that there isn’t a boring moment, making it totally deserving of its approximate 35-hour runtime (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A gonzo, gore-soaked gaming guilty pleasure. (...) will [Dead Island 2] provide a weekend or two’s worth of mindless violent escapism? Hell, yes. And sometimes that will do. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Dead Island 2 will amuse you for days with its stylish vision of a zombified LA, but it’s also limited in scope, and with skill systems that feel shallow and impersonal it won’t hang around long enough to achieve superstardom. This is one of 2014’s best zombie beat-’em-ups – it’s just a pity we’re in 2023. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Dead Island 2’s devotion to truly gross zombie gore is commendable, but its bland, stereotypical characters, and tired, genre-rehashing plot make it more difficult to appreciate its inventive combat than it should be. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
