As one would expect from a game like Dead Island 2, the most enjoyable aspect of the game is its combat. While the story is decent enough and the slayers have quite a bit of personality, it is the satisfying combat mechanics that will keep co-op fans engaged for a few dozen hours. While guns are a part of that, and they certainly feel better than they did in the original game and Riptide, they are not nearly as fun to use as the many melee weapons that can be found in Hell-A. In fact, the close quarters combat in Dead Island 2 is so enjoyable that CoD Zombies may want to consider reassessing its own melee weapons to better resemble its fellow zombie title.
