Dead Island 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and is content to smear blood and bones on a once beautiful tourist destination. Mind you, we are no longer on an island, no matter how much the name says otherwise.

The game’s plot takes itself as a joke, since, right at the start, our protagonist discovers that he is immune to the zombie virus. While he celebrates, the rest look at him with a face like: puff, how original.

The objective is to get out of Los Angeles, since we have been locked in a tightly closed room due to the explosion of the virus. The game is all about sarcasm, first-person fights and lots of action peppered with bad jokes.
