Dead Island 2's visceral combat loop, where every swing of a makeshift weapon tears through hordes of the undead, is a bloody good time. The game's strength lies in its F.L.E.S.H. system, a detailed dismemberment mechanic that makes each encounter feel unique and impactful. Though the story is forgettable, the sheer joy of experimenting with different weapon mods and skill cards to obliterate zombies keeps you coming back for more.
