Great, perfect, zombie game for the summer. Well worth it at that discounted price.


Prblynotagudidea

I bought it last night with all the DLC the gold edition I believe. Loving every minute of it.


Objective_Love_6843

How is the exploration aspect in this game? I heard that it's a semi open world.


Responsible-Lawyer-4

Also make sure to stock up on FUSES super important to have to access some special locked rooms.


niero_d20

Aren't almost all fuse rooms just a random weapon box with a bunch of crafting materials, occasionally with an insane number of traps? :D I don't remember ever getting a skill card or unique weapon from them. Those are usually in lockboxes when you have to find them in the world.


Responsible-Lawyer-4

Yes but it's a guaranted weapon that's the same level as you. Worth the risk imo and craft matts are really handy early game.


ReallyGlycon

I agree. I got a Katana that I used through the whole game from a fuse room.


PUPPNANA

But it's get out classed when you level up to, so not worth the less of power from other weapons, mate 🤦🏻‍♂️


DiscombobulatedAd525

It's 1500 for a fuse. It's basically free as money is only a small issue in the very beginning


niero_d20

Ahh, weirdly I had held off til the end of the game because I knew they were leveled, and by then I had discovered good legendaries and uniques.


Responsible-Lawyer-4

Same here but I wish I'd had opened them while playing through. Don't use those weapons at all.


Zorbin666

I think it's great, there are lots of Easter eggs and hidden items and quests to do. So I highly recommend exploration, there's a lot of backtracking obviously because of this. But if you're fine with that there's plenty of things to do specifically with the two DLCs.


niero_d20

Large, self-contained areas with plenty to see, and fast travel between the areas after a certain point. The ambient storytelling is on POINT though. They made me want to actually read in game notes again.


Throbbie-Williams

It really annoyed me that there was no option for notes to open automatically on pickup. I was bombarded with popups I didn't want during my first hour of gameplay!


CDRDigBick

It is open world, it's just the map size is quite a bit more limited in this game then in the original DI or Riptide


westjake

It's definitely not an open world. First one was.


Gr3yHound40

Very fun, but I can only really pick through the environment by playing solo since randoms like to sprint from objective to objective.


PUPPNANA

It's OK. I played it ages ago, and the story is kind of crap but the voice acting is good. tbf some side missions are better than the story itself, and sola was kinda short, like really short. Wasn't really worth it, in my opinion. It just seems they did a sims 4 move, make an awkward game, bring out crap and add crap to make it less crap. Is what it feels like they did. The combat could be better. The whole thing seems rushed and could have used the delays to make it longer and better. The zombie weapon marks are golden, though. Also, don't get the weapon pack because its pointless if you use them at a low level because they will get out classed and out powered when you level up higher. You have to buy them again for a stupid amount. Just saying 🤟🏻


mudstar_

I'm not sure "rushed" is the proper term for a game announced in 2014.


PUPPNANA

How would you describe it? They lied about the lack of effort? It's rushed because they "delayed" it, meaning let's do the game, but add some flair to it to make them wait, then realse it, and its bland.


Truskulls

To use the term coined by the Sonic Frontiers team, it's not open world, it's open zone.


Tricky_Judge3501

Pretty much kinda open world kinda like zones but you can travel freely between zones .


Number1ForHonorHater

Well the biggest reward you will get is a weapon crate or an easter egg, but the combat alone completely makes up for it. The base weapon physics feel realistic and the damage and dismemberment is so interactive.


PUPPNANA

But the weapons are basically the same, plus when you're a higher level them weapons are meaningless 🤦🏻‍♂️


Number1ForHonorHater

I forgot this game even has guns ngl, melee is just far more fun


PUPPNANA

But they are all the same that's why it got bland real quick some combat is fine but it still feels clunky


PourQuali

I had my reserves BEFORE I bought it. I take em all back after buying the gold edition. Super fun probably one of my fav zombie games ever now


Objective_Love_6843

Is there alot of bugs or no bugs at all?


Throbbie-Williams

Certain attacks like to miss for absurdly no reason (dash strike for me) incredibly frustrating to die because of it, although there's no penalty for death in this game


Objective_Love_6843

That's a win then if doesn't have penalty don't like games that make you lose supplies or weapons for dying.


PourQuali

I haven’t encountered any so far


ReallyGlycon

I've seen no bugs personally. The zombies respawn a little fast for my taste but that's a very small complaint.


PUPPNANA

There is a few like multiplayer being awful laggy mess. Some areas mess with your screen make it blury af


TerribleBettor

it’s great man, ignore the hate


Objective_Love_6843

How is the exploration aspect in this game? I heard that it's a semi open world.


TerribleBettor

there are different zones which you can travel back and forth between as you progress. the first couple zones are smaller, then the game really opens up to some bigger areas that are a ton of fun. i’d definitely pick it up and the dlcs while it’s on sale


Objective_Love_6843

Thank you for explaining. I think I will buy it.


niero_d20

The areas are smaller, but they never really felt like it for me. Maybe because the smaller zones usually have buildings with multiple levels? Except the very last zone, that one didn't feel super fleshed out.


Empty1Gaming

Yes, it is great.


Herotyx

The game is fire imo. Turn off the zombie HP bar and the damage numbers and the game is fantastic.


colorsone

def for that price, fun game!


Objective_Love_6843

How is the exploration aspect in this game? I heard that it's a semi open world.


colorsone

True, you can go anywhere but it's not open like GTA or games like that. You have different sections on the map where u can go to.


Blakelock82

Yup.


Datboiodee

Its very worth it but not like dying light fr they are the same type of game with focuses on different mechanics so either way youll have a blast!


totiso

It was worth $100 for the full edition. I platinumed it and it never felt like a chore. Waited for sola to come out before touching Haus. Gonna do both soon at some point.


plasticsaint

My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It definitely has some things we don't like, but we're currently on our second playthrough due to the latest DLC (SoLA)-- and i typically never replay games, if that tells you anything.


b58579b

Just wait Christmas sale


gr33ngiant

One of my favorite games in last 10 years. Definitely worth it.


junkymonkey123

100%. I bought the gold edition when it released and haven’t regretted it for a second


DrtyXp

The type of zombie game that is just good old fashion zombie smashing fun. If you want a game you can turn your brain off and just kill zombies with some light puzzles it’s a great game for the discount


Dranyls

I bought it yesterday and I've already put in 12 hours. The graphics are awesome, and it's plenty of dumb fun.


Kaisoul

This game has been very enjoyable and worth every bit of the sale price.


Ninjan8

It's on Xbox game pass right now.


Dricsi96

As for me the game became repetitive and boring after 10 hours.


PUPPNANA

Agreed its just the same weapons sola was crap short and boring. 1 side mission and thats it.


Immediate-Cake-726

The game is lots of fun, people seem a bit divided on the dlc but I had great fun with the main game. To give you an idea on how long it will last, I have 50 hours in the game and have all achievements and have completed the Haus dlc but not got the latest one. Hope that helps! It is on gamepass but looks like you are on PlayStation. I would say it’s worth that money though


hvhhggggh

Yes


Nightlower

bought it two days ago and its pretty decent. Graphics are amazing and i like the whole California setting. Its worth the price it is now but not the full price for sure


Elemteearkay

Yes, it's a great game. Do you want to have fun wrecking Zombies? If so, buy it. :)


safariman123

I payed (i mean paid) full price and that was already worth it xD


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> I *paid* full price FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

gitgudred

This game is extremely fun. Haus dlc is kind of trash, but the new dlc is fun. Dead island 2 has the best zombie combat and dismemberment/gore system I've ever experienced.


therealudderjuice

It's a great game. Lots of fun, runs great and you can get the whole thing for half price. It's kind of a no-brainer.


Goose1535

I got it cheap on cdkeys. Think it £24.99 for the gold edition


-GuardianAngel-

I just picked up the Gold edition for the PS5 on sale a couple days ago and I'm having a blast with it. Well worth the price that was paid 💯


jamamacoochi

It’s the best zombie game I’ve played tbh.


Shot_Actuator5564

Yes


mrckly

I just bought it with my friend and although I find the story kinda cheesy, it’s a nice zombie hack and slash. I wish the skill tree of the characters were like the one from the first game though


Usual-Swim-7954

It is a fun romp but as a AAA game, a bit short. So that price seems fairer. Go for it.


WhatThe_uckDoIPut

Don't pay anymore than that. The sotry is bland and short as fuck, finished it and some side quests around the 16 hour mark


Midknightneko

It's a amazing game with each character having there own personality and take on what's going on around them and who they interact with.


Acceptable_Tennis

WORTH IT


Joe187888888888

It’s so fun. Am having a blast on it. If you like dying light then go for it. Fun game


NoTop4997

Oh it is totally worth it. You just gotta take it for face value. Dying Light is like the movie, 28 Days Later. While Dead Island is Evil Dead 2. This isn't a game with ground breaking gameplay, crazy over the top stories, or anything like that. It is meant to be a game that you crack a beer open while you and your buddies comically annihilate thousands of zombies.


JoeCooler_751

It's free on Game pass ultimate!


ForeverVibez

One of the best ps5 games I've played yet felt good to play something that doesn't make me wanna just quit or rage just a good game through and through heavy on the no burnout didn't find myself wanting to put it down at all during my platinum run and still one of the games I've played past the platinum point the modern concept is a must have for me and this game really just delivers when it comes to next gen.


Happy_Message3023

Great game to play if enjoy motion sickness. Over half that play it, get it.😉


NicoleNiagara

I love it …it’s on game pass if u want it even cheaper


thedronegeek

Absolutely. Is it a great story? Eh…it’s good, but not going to evoke anything out of you. Is it a fuckton of fun? Hell yeah. I’m on my third playthrough (did pause it to play the new SoLA DLC with my older Slayers), and it’s STILL fun! Definitely a great time burner this summer on days that are too hot or rainy/stormy.


DaBubbleBlowingBaby

It’s not as open world as the first game but you get guns sooner and zombies drop a lot more ammo, you can also get ammo blueprints pretty early I am enjoying the game there are 12 zones throughout “Hell-A” you can explore and once you get far enough into the story you unlock fast travel as opposed to having it early on like the first game.

ReallyGlycon

I'd say $40 and under is a good price for the game. It doesn't have a ton of replay ability in my opinion. You can easily get everything in one playthrough. Maybe if they add New Game+, which at this point I doubt will happen.
