As you’ve probably already guessed, you’ll play one of the humans left inside the infected zone attempting to survive. In response to this, the government has quarantined California in an effort to stop the disease from spreading further. Based on what I’ve seen thus far, however, I’m not entirely convinced, but I remain optimistic considering Techland, who made the piss-poor first game, are now making the rather excellent-looking Dying Light.ĭead Island 2 is set months after the initial outbreak on the fictional island of Banoi from the first game – an outbreak which has now spread to California and infected its residents. Yager Development are responsible for the rather excellent Spec Ops: The Line, and therefore you could consider that the series will be given a fresh lease of life. So, it was with some trepidation that I took a look at Dead Island 2 to see whether Yager Development are likely to give it a better crack of the undead whip than Techland. It was a massively unimpressive version of Borderlands, but with zombies. It was slow-paced and, for the most part, pretty boring, not withstanding the fact that it was horribly buggy and generally a bit piss. Confession time, ladies and gentlemen: I didn’t enjoy Dead Island.
