I just finished my second playthrough of Dead Island 2, and for some reason this game really resonated with me the way few other games ever have, and just like with the first playthrough, I’m kind of bummed that there’s nothing left for me to do in the game.
The story was the weakest part, but the gameplay, music, sound production, voice acting, “set design,” – everything-- was absolutely incredible, imo. Attention to detail is huge for me, and when I can read what it says on a tiny box of pills–that says passionate devs and quality publisher to me. I also LOVE how the zombie damage is depicted, with different weapons causing different wound shapes, and the guts jiggle independently of the body. Most satisfying zombie killing ever.
So what games did you yearn for more of when you finished it?
Subnautica. There wasn’t really anything left to do, story-wise, but I wasn’t ready to go.
Aw man I loooooved that game so much and never beat it. I never even got into the final biome. I should play again and try to fully beat it. I beat Below Zero but that wasn’t as good as the original. It was still good but missing some things that made the first game incredible.
I’m still waiting for another game that will grip me like Subnautica did, Witcher 3, Far Cry 4 were my other obsessions, these days I install a game and play for a bit and then get bored of the repetitive game loop and uninstall, might also be because of all the current stress in my life that I cannot properly unwind and spend hours gaming
