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?


I just beat Outer Wilds a few months ago and the DLC last week. It’s easily one of my favorite games but once you know the secrets there’s no going back. I’m so glad I never had anything spoiled and went in on a random recommendation.
Even though I loved the base game the DLC doesn’t have quite the same feel. I got legitimately frustrated at certain parts too. But it’s also more outer wilds and is nearly it’s own game so can’t really complain.
I agree with the dlc. I could not finish it. I am sure they just wanted to do something new, but it just felt too different to me.
