Dead Island 2, not your typical sequel?
After everything that I´ve seen and heard about Dead Island 2 then it´s safe to say that it´s not going to be a typical sequel. I´m certain that everything will be bigger and better, which is usually typical for a sequel, but when it comes to the story then this game will be completely different. Why? Well there is no story in Dead Island 2, you just hang around in a part of the city (L.A.) and kill zombies. At the same time you share your game server with up to seven other people, which means that you´re probably never alone in the game. So people that want to experience the game on their own might have a tough time with this game.
Wait a moment, there is no story in this game? That´s what the developers said, this game is more focused on just endless zombie killing instead of following a main story that has an ending. The developers said that there is no ending to Dead Island 2, which will doesn´t really make it a game I´d like to play. As much as I enjoy having fun in a game, I do prefer that there is a beginning and an ending to a game, what´s the point to keep playing when it never ends? Sure it´s fun for a moment but really for days maybe even weeks playing a non stop zombie slaughter game? That seems boring to me! But there are some missions you can do, but it´s not tied up in a story that you follow and that leads you somewhere.
So what do you do in this game? You kill zombies! Yes it´s that simple and maybe that´s enough for some people. But like I mentioned earlier you also share your online server with up to seven other people, you can join them to fight a huge horde of zombies or you can play in smaller groups or everyone can play solo if they want to. But something that worries me a bit is that the developers said that one group can also attack another group of survivors, which means other players can kill you. This is something I don´t like because there will always be assholes that will ambush you or team up against you to kill you, not even just to steal your stuff but also just to annoy you. Which is why I prefer to have an option in the game that keeps other players from joining my game, because I find it difficult to enjoy a game when assholes constantly try to kill you.
As much fun as Dead Island 2 could be, it´s really the lack of a story and having to share your game world with other players which ruins it for me. I´m more interested in Dying Light, which looks very nice and does have a story and an optional four player co-op mode. But I´m certain that a lot of people will enjoy Dead Island 2, just for the fact that you can kill a lot of zombies in a brutal way. I guess for some people that´s enough. Just remember that Dying Light is a good alternative if Dead Island 2 isn´t what you hoped it would be.
