There are also weapon mods and elemental damage buffs to take advantage of, another tried-and-true mechanic for zombie games. Using a bladed weapon to slash at a zombie’s arms and head, or a blunt weapon to knock down multiple foes at once before stomping on their heads before they had a chance to get up, didn’t get old. Thanks to FLESH, players can target individual body parts to damage.

Thankfully, the game’s “FLESH System” acts as an enhancement to melee attacks, making zombie kills all the more satisfying with increased gore. It leans into the melee side of combat which, while more uncommon, is not unique. Developer Dambuster Studios is targeting 60 FPS for the current-gen and, if my fantastic experience on PC is anything to go by, I’m feeling optimistic for current-gen console players. (I’m a tad concerned about the PS4 edition, but my fingers are crossed.) I hope you like killing zombiesĭead Island 2 is yet another game that tasks players with killing a bunch of zombies. The game looks and runs fantastic on PC, which should hopefully be good news for the PS5 version. While they certainly capture the Californian vibe, the sheer amount of zombies, blood, and guts quickly distract from the well-realized locales.


During the slice of gameplay provided for the preview, I spent time in Bel-Air and Beverly Hills.
