Is it worth buying with the original price? I dont think so - just wait for a discount and then buy it. This game isnt as perfect as it should be. In some moments its quite annoying to play. There is a huge difference between Dead Island 1 and 2, which DI2 is much much better I also want to mention a Good Samaritan whose nickname was only two letters long. He joined me, helped me quickly finish Act I, and didn't write a single word in chat. He also wanted to give me an M60, but I didn't need it because I wouldn't be playing this character anymore after finishing Act I. After we defended the workshop where the truck was being armored, he crouched a few times and left without a word. Thanks for gameplay if you read this + multiple locations + different characters to play + skill tree + clear UI + vehicles in which you can move + fast travel option + multiple missions to do + sam b exists - ending of the game is bad, you cant keep playing on your world after finishing the story, you have to start a NG+ - boring text lines of characters, they have 3-4 answers of accepting or denying quests - really annoying zombies - infected zombies will spawn out of nowhere and then chase you all the time. Also they are really inteligent for zombies, they prepare to attack you before they even reach the player. Sometimes you can get such a combo its impossible to survive - bad hitboxes of plants - sometimes you cant make a shortcut because it will say "Youre leaving the game area" - bad parkour and walking physics - if you stop after running it feels like your character is on ice and will slide for 0.5s. Also you cant jump on some objects that are smaller than you.
This is quite the immersive zombie apocalypse game, and for a game from 2016 the graphics are awesome. Best played in the middle of the night, with headphones on, and by only the glow from a desk lamp's 40-watt bulb. It's an adreneline rush hearing zombies breathing in the dark shadows surrounding me while I desperately try to figure out where exactly they are before they grab me. If you only focus on the main campaign tasks and ignore the side quests, you could probably be done in 10 to 15 hours. But if you do most of the side quests, AND go for all of the achievements, this game should be good for 30 to 40 hours. Also, there are 4 different characters to choose from, and each of them have various skills and stats, so there is definitely some of replayability here. There are several different types of zombies to fight here too. There are slow shufflers, lightning-speed runners, big beefy brawlers who's arms always seem to be longer than yours, suicide bombers, rams ( who charge at you like a bull ), floaters ( who spit toxic gas at you ), and a few others. Every time you die, you will lose 10% of your gold, but thankfully none of your inventory items. Some weapons are found laying around, and some are looted from your kills. You can find various guns ( pistols, rifles, shotguns, etc ), and dozens of different melee weapons. You can also throw smaller weapons like knives. At lower levels, you can just punch and kick your way through some fights, but at some point you won't be able to do enough damage with your fists & feet anymore. All weapons start at level 1. For a cost, you can upgrade them at workbenches to level 4. With items you scavenge from all over ( wire, tape, metal scrap, timers, alcohol, batteries, hoses, etc ), you can craft customized weapons. The customized weapons add various extra damages like fire, poison, and shocking. Of course, there are also scattered merchants where you can buy and sell. There are trading cards, achievements, and even some Point Shop items. Some of the achievements are a grind, like finding 120 collectables, and exploring all 72 island locations. Also, there is co-op available for up to 4 players, and 8 of the achievements require co-op play. Although I've heard some people complain of a few bugs, I've experienced none myself in the 48 hours I've played so far.
