Dead Island 2 Review

Good
Violent and gratifying melee combat
Weapon variety and modifications
Hub world design
Short campaign

Bad
Lacklustre story and characters
Repetitive mission structure and gameplay
Occasional bugs, glitches

In most video games, you just kill stuff. You shoot, stab, blow up, or slice through a rotating cast of bad guys on your way to a usually yellow and sometimes off-white circular-ish marker on your screen, where you receive your next set of instructions from an NPC. Apparently, that radio/file/key/code/ you were looking for and expected to find here is actually stashed at another compound/tv station/prison/hospital. You can take a breather, repair or buff up your gear at a conveniently placed workbench, maybe store your excess inventory in a cloud-based locker, and engage with the NPC companion/quest-giver if you're interested in some try-hard attempt at wit. If you've had your fill, you can head out to do the killing thing again — the part that's supposed to be fun.
