Forget about how long ago Dead Island 2 was announced, or how many developers it has gone through since then. The original game launched in 2011, and regardless of how much you may have liked it at the time, it’s hard to deny that it is little more than a rotting corpse now. It was never built to be a precise military shooter or tactile action game, it was a unique experience built on a relatively small budget compared to many triple-A games of the day.
