Dead Island 2 is free on Epic Games Store this week

Game is awesome, dont sit on it.

I platinumed it a few months back when the ultimate edition was $30 on PSN. Great game and the zombie killing never gets old....great atmosphere too.
 
Very good fun and graphics look really nice on the pro. I know this is for PC but just letting PS folks this is a real looker on pro also.
 
I would still take dying light 1 as the superior zombie experience.
Tried to replay it recently and it's good, but different from what I expect from a B-movie-style zombie slasher.
It has a much more serious and horror-esque vibe, especially at night.
I like how Dead Island 2 is colorful, kind of happy, unfazed and over-the-top brutal. It has this 'everything's screwed and falling apart, but fuck it' attitude. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, but still has levels that are really scary and moody.
I just really like this glossy Hollywood-style world - it feels fresher for a zombie slasher than yet another super-serious zombie apocalypse.
Just when you've had enough of all the melee brawling, guns come into play. In my opinion, gunplay feel way better and is way more fun than in Dying Light.

And the game has the best menu theme.
