If you're a fan of the zombie genre, this will be a good game at full price, and a great game on sale.
The game focuses on the outbreak, and the zombies, with combat being the main draw here. Combat is relatively straightforward, but some weapon mods and environmental cues make it more engaging. The gore mechanic is well done, and is the standout of this game. No game I've ever played has realistic of a hack-and-slash mechanic as Dead Island 2.
As expected, the story is weak, but has a few memorable moments. You could probably argue that the vapidness of most of the characters is intentional, but that's a cop out. Mostly, the story serves as a mechanism to introduce new areas and mechanics. That's not a bad thing, but the main story is only like 10 hours long if you really streamline it.
This game will be short and fun for most people. To get every achievement took me around 30ish hours. I'm sure there's quicker routes though. This game will likely entertain you for 15-20 hours if you do a few sides, run around, and complete the story. I really enjoyed it, and I hope you will too.
