Just an average game with little too no replay value. Admittly It was fun the first play through but after the 2nd run it started too get boring. Lack of weopons, by the end of the game you have found all the weopon types and just need to find the legendary weopons which are the same overused weopons in the game with higher stats.
The gameplay gets repetitive, tedious and boring by the 2nd play through. The levels are small but are highly detail which makes up for the small level design. But unfortunately the game is too short, the story sucks and just when it starts to get good towards the end it abruptly ends making you want more in a $70 game.
Here is my ratings broken down
Story is 1.5 to 2 out of 5 at best
Sound, atmosphere, detail etc are all really good and nearly perfect 4-4.5 out of 5
Gameplay, graphics, is top notch 5/5
But then gameplay gets repetitive so 🤷
Replay value is about a 2 no joke there is no motivation too keep playing and build your character up since your character already is max level
The perks, character customization and build is not very good. . 3/5 I feel like they could of done waaay better on character customization and perks. There's just a lack of perks and theres not much difference between characters
Overall I give it a 3/5. A bit disappointed in the game. Game had good potential and I feel like it was off too a great start but midway through the game it got repetitive and the story lacked any depth or engagement. A good example of what a good engaging story imb would be: dying light 1, or the resident evil franchise
Dead island 2 just seems more like mindless zombies killing that is fun at first but after beating the game on the first play through it becomes stale and boring.
