However, not all the reviews were glowing. Some reviews cited technical issues and unpolished aspects that marred the overall experience.

Other reviews criticized Dead Island 2 for lack of innovation and a disjointed story – saying it is a charming but shallow sequel that fails to live up to its potential.

Despite the issues listed above, most reviewers acknowledged that the game’s core gameplay loop remained enjoyable and addictive.

In summary, Dead Island 2 has garnered mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised its engaging gameplay mechanics, weapon customization, and cooperative elements.
