Dead Island 2 is the sequel to the original Dead Island released way back in 2011, and is a role-playing game in which you kill a bunch of zombies in increasingly devastating ways, utilising a variety of weapons and tools at your disposal, either alone or with friends. Despite how many zombie games there may have been over the years since the original game, Dead Island 2 is arguably one of the most anticipated, particularly in regards to the time between its announcement and release.
