Alright, so here’s a nugget of news for game lovers, especially if you’re, like, into action stuff and don’t mind a bit of chaos and zombies. Dead Island 2. Heard of it? It’s that follow-up to the 2011 game that made quite a splash. And guess what? It’s usually almost 50 bucks, but now it’s free. On Epic Games Store, I mean. For PC folks.
Yeah, it’s part of their free weekly game deal, but you gotta be quick! It’s available till May 22, 2025. That’s next Thursday, let’s not forget – at 8 a.m. PT or 11 a.m. ET, if you’re nitpicky about these things. Just a few clicks and, bam, it’s yours. Even if you’re more of a console gamer. Like, why not snag it while you can, right?
Back in April 2023, I got my hands on Dead Island 2. Gave it four and a half stars, if you wanna know. Called it an “amazing action-horror game” and all that jazz. Thinking back, yeah, it was a wild ride through zombie chaos. Solo or dragging your pals into it, the co-op mode — just pure fun.
And yeah, the gore? Oh man, calling it over the top doesn’t even cut it. Really out there, in the best way. It’s LA, post-zombie craze, and your job? Survive. Smack zombies with whatever you find. Each character brings a little something different to the slaying party. Some slash and dice, others sneak up for those good ol’ critical hits. Oh, and those skill cards? They let you mix things up with your moves. Plus, upgrading weapons? Endless choices, like, ever thought of swinging a flaming sword or electrocuting zombies with a hammer? Yeah.
Honestly, it’s like this big playground and it’s, uh, somehow a lot of fun. It’s got this zany physics system, great animations, and a gore thingy called F.L.E.S.H. or something that just makes everything so satisfyingly brutal. Kinda reminds me of those old B movies, with a pretty goofy script paired with cool sounds and graphics.
One catch though — if you’re on Xbox or PlayStation, well, no freebies. But if you’ve got Xbox Game Pass, you’re golden. It hopped on last year. And hey, you might find discounts around, so don’t go spending all fifty bucks unless you really have to.
So, yeah, that’s the lowdown. Enjoy and maybe see you in “Hell-A” or whatever they’re calling it.
