If the thought of a spontaneous zombie outbreak sends shivers down your spine, you might want to steer clear of the Dead Island series. However, if you’ve been itching to dive headfirst into some high-octane undead carnage, you are in luck: Dead Island 2 and its complete suite of DLC are currently available on Steam for just $7.
Developed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver, Dead Island 2 casts you into a version of Los Angeles overrun by a catastrophic viral strain. Once infected, citizens rapidly devolve into mindless, flesh-hungry creatures. It is up to you to navigate the chaos, survive a hostile world, and uncover the dark secrets behind the city’s collapse.
A visceral, blood-soaked sandbox, Dead Island 2 perfectly captures the nostalgic thrill of classic zombie action games. While it offers the standard genre tropes and plenty of snarky dialogue, the real draw is the deep, crunchy combat and the satisfaction of tearing through hordes of the undead with a friend in tow.
The game features an array of 14 DLC expansions, ranging from stylistic character cosmetic packs to specialized gear upgrades. The most recent additions even bridge the gap between titles, offering players unique weaponry inspired by the medieval landscapes of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
