Why Dead Island 2 is still one of the best zombie games on PS5
Dead Island 2 remains one of the most enduring zombie titles on PS5. The game has been routinely applauded as a worthy successor to its predecessor, with Dead Island: Riptide largely forgotten by the fandom.
The action role-playing survival horror game’s description reads, “Dead Island 2 is a thrilling First-Person Action RPG, stylish, vibrant, and flooded with zombie infection. Explore an iconic, gore-drenched Los Angeles. Meet larger-than-life characters. Slay countless foes in exquisitely bloody detail. And evolve to become the ultimate Zombie Slayer!”
The features involved are numerous too. Exploration of HELL-A, the game’s setting, is encouraged, with various real-life locations getting a post-apocalyptic makeover for the story. It also promises a brutal combat system, providing a ‘visceral’ first-person experience. It boasts an arsenal of weapons to choose from, and various ways to approach combat. Players can choose to be tactical or brutal in their approach.
There are six characters to choose as an avatar, each boasting a unique personality and unique dialogue to go with it. There’s a lot of freedom when it comes to customizing characters to their liking to create builds with their own unique buffs and debuffs, depending on playstyle.
Dead Island 2 comes with a robust co-op mode that can support up to three players, ensuring they can have a comfortable gaming experience with friends as well.
