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?

    And the sequel. The first game is probably the best, at least in my eyes. It really put you into the life of a medieval peasant and said good luck you dumb shit. The first time riding a horse through the woods only to get branched was a moment of …wow this game really tells you, you’re not the main character of this story, just some dumb idiot that is a cog in the bigger machine.
