Compared to other Assassin's Creed games this one was a total ehhh for me. As an Arab, I thought it was nice that Ubisoft gave us the option to put the audio in full Arabic which just adds to the mood and time period of the game. And honestly it's funny watching Chinese Merchants speak full on Arabic which was trippy for me. Speaking that their speaking Fus-ha or Proper Arabic and not dialect is also amazing. The only downside I see in this game is that it is short and literally only 10 hrs into it I'm already more than half way through the game. And unlike other Assassin's creed games I hate they only allow you use the hidden blade for assassinations and not other combat uses. Still over all an ok game. But ehhhh save your money.

So, as a veteran of the Dead Island Series I absolutely loved Dead Island 1 and Dead Island Rip Tide, so much so, that when the definitive edition for both games came out I bought them and replayed them. But Dead Island 2 is a far cry from the Dead Island we grew to love so much in the past. I literally died 3 times in the first engagement with zombies that is literally at the very start of the game and I was like "oh boy this is gunna be rough". The zombies are insanely over powered to the point that even a small group of 3 or 4 can stop you from entering an objective area or slowing you down for a short time. If it was not for the fact that I have card abilities and some modified weapons I wouldn't even be this far into the game. and by some I mean only a modified electric machete and knife and also a flame knife. Special zombies are an extreme pain in the rear to fight, they have unearthly amount of health and literally take 5 mins to fight. Did I also mention that if your in a close enough proximity they will literally hunt you down like prey and wont leave you alone. The story is insanely boring, the characters are annoying and even my character Bruno makes mention of their annoyance and them being unhelpful multiple times. The only good thing was the reappearance of Sam B who actually teaches you how to create modified weapons and teaches you how to survive but other than that he seems to just sit around alot after that which makes me upset that they ruined one of the main characters of the original Dead Island. SAVE YOUR MONEY!! DON'T BY THIS GAME!!
