Please be good, please be good, please be good.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Had no idea this even existed.

I guess it will probably be a 6/10 game, just like the first one.

 

[GymWolf]

I don't expect more than a 6,5-7 fun romp.

 

[DragoonKain]

Everything I've seen for it looks like a fun game, but something I'll wait for a Black Friday sale for.

 

[Ocean Dweller]

hmmmmmm

 

[VN1X]

A linear open-zoner with zombies is just what I want. Shame I'll have to wait another year for it to turn up on Steam though but it is what it is. Plenty to play in the mean time.

 

[Schmendrick]

Looks like a decent 7/10 play once game.

 

[Hugare]

Looks like a 7/10

It looks gorgeous, but seems like it has very derivative, dated mechanics. Gameplay wise it looks just like the original.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Reviews up with plenty of time to cancel preorders? Sounds confident. Good for them.

It just looks like one of those ''I need you to collect X for me, go clear out this area and bring it back to me'' repeat for the entire game. I think it'll get some praise for the limb mechanics though, and lush looking areas.

Hoping for the best.

This game is more brutal than online dating.

• The reviewer is giving a review of Dead Island 2, a game set in sunny California with stylish and colorful graphics.
• The game features a variety of weapons, including zombie powers, to use against the undead.
• The combat is satisfying and the graphics are great.
• The game allows players to wreak havoc across the state.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I'll guess 77 metacritic score.

 

[Eiknarf]

It’s gonna average between 78 - 83 on Metacritic

 

[CompetitionPro]

Could end up in the 80s range. I will definitly wait for reviews before clicking the order button.

[SALMORE]

[Pallas]

Looks like modded weapons will be returning too.
