Was Dead Island 2 Worth The Wait

Its been nine years since Dead Island 2 was announced at E3 2014. Since then, the game has been stuck in a sort of development apocalypse that rivals the one that features within its own fiction. Over the last decade, four separate development studios have attempted to ship Dead Island 2. Four Series creator Techland, Spec Ops: The Line developers Yager Development, British outfit Sumo Digital and finally, publisher Deep Silvers own internal studio Dambuster. Four developers. Four completely separate developers, each with their own unique vision and approach to this single project. This isnt, traditionally, a good sign. Its usually a very bad sign. You only need to look at something like Duke Nukem Forever as an example of the kind of game you end up with following a protracted development that bounces between multiple studios. So after 9 years in the oven and with a conveyer belt of chefs constantly fiddling with the temperature, was Dead Island 2 worth the wait Find out more by watching our PC review.
