Puppet Combo is also pretty much keeping the slasher genre alive in the gaming medium, producing games that are obviously inspired by our favorite knife-wielding maniacs. Regardless of how you feel, there’s really no harm done in a labor of love horror game that’s available to fans for only a few bucks. Others view the games as the future of horror gaming, providing players with authentically terrifying scares. Some people view them as paper-thin mechanically with not much beyond the PS1 aesthetics. Puppet Combo’s games have been a hot topic of discussion lately in the horror gaming community. Neither Deep Silver or developer Dambuster Studios has confirmed or responded to this release date, so fingers crossed that it holds. Combining the classic Dead Island elements of immersive close combat, action and role-playing, Dead Island 2 features crazy, never-before-seen handcrafted weapons and over-the-top characters in taking players from the iconic Golden Gate to the celebrated beachfront boardwalk of southern California’s Venice Beach.”Īs in the first game (which came out over a decade ago), players will be crafting weapons to fight back the seemingly never-ending hordes plaguing the West Coast. Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start.

“Several months after the events on Banoi, the United States military has put the Golden State under full quarantine. They also posted a summary of the story, which is as follows (thanks, GameInformer):
#DEAD ISLAND 2 FOR PS3 PC#
Per the Amazon listing (before it was heavily redacted, naturally), Dead Island 2 will be available on both last-gen and current-gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as PC on Febru(per the original page listing). Although these upgrades and tweaks might not lead to Dead Island 2 being a Game of the Year frontrunner for 2023, this long-awaited follow-up definitely feels poised to deliver what fans have been waiting for.After all the teasing, after all the “it’s not dead yet”, we’ll finally get Dead Island 2 in 2023! Thanks again to Amazon, who earlier leaked the New Tales From the Borderlands release date, they also leaked the Day One Edition of Dead Island 2. Nothing I've seen in this game seems like it's going to reinvent the wheel, but it's certainly a sequel that looks to make some notable improvements on the original entry. All in all, this shift to a real locale is one that I think will be a big boon for Dead Island 2 and I've been left excited to see its full world.įor a game that was stuck in development hell for the better part of the past ten years, I'm surprised at how positive I've come away with feeling about Dead Island 2. There are other pieces of smart commentary and satire like this in Dead Island 2 that deal with Hollywood, former big-screen actors, and a number of other things that people would associate with LA. Scattered around this sprawling house were a number of hints about their previous lifestyle, one of which happened to be an "apology" message written on a whiteboard that was clearly meant to make fun of the countless fake apologies that YouTubers have posted online in the past following various scandals. This diversity in playstyle makes Dead Island 2's combat continuously feel pretty fresh, especially since item durability will force you to rotate through different melee weapons on a routine basis.įor example, one early location in Dead Island 2 that I ended up coming across was the former mansion of an internet influencer. The way in which your character swings a machete has a drastically different feel compared to using a pool cue. What Dead Island 2 does do a great job with, though, is making each weapon feel greatly unique.
Based on what I have played so far, combat doesn't have a ton of depth and largely just results in you spamming the attack button to take down foes. Instead, Dambuster is looking to make smaller tweaks that will assure this is the best Dead Island game ever made.Ĭombat remains the bread and butter of Dead Island 2 as you'll be bashing zombies in the midst of just about everything you're doing. DI2 still focuses heavily on melee combat, it features a similar quest structure as the original game, and its open-world is spaced out across a number of smaller areas. In a general sense, developer Dambuster Studios doesn't seem to be looking to change a whole lot of the formula seen in the original Dead Island that resonated with players all the way back in 2011. I was recently able to go hands-on with a sizable chunk of Dead Island 2 and largely came away quite excited to play the full game.
