![]() Having said that, we did take issue with the game's general open world structure. It all unfolds at a lovely 60FPS on Series X as well, feeling very fluid in motion. It might not be the most technically advanced video game of all time, but the way the blood-soaked undead contrast against the bright colours and pure whites of LA's suburban neighbourhoods is a real sight to behold. What immediately stands out, at least on Xbox Series X, is how pretty this game is. Our hands-on time with Dambuster's sequel covered roughly the first five hours of the game, including a handful of main story missions as Dead Island 2's LA-based map starts to open up. ![]() Yep, Dead Island 2 is that sort of game - a real turn-your-brain-off slasher that quickly revels in its absurd concept as you sprint around Beverly Hills trying to find the most creative ways to take out the undead. Thankfully, most of our preconceived notions were crushed into the ground almost immediately, like an injured zombie squirming around as it awaits getting curb stomped into oblivion. ![]() After all - Dead Island 2 was revealed almost 10 years ago at this point and such a lengthy dev cycle doesn't always work in the game's favour. That scepticism wasn't based on what we've seen of the game so far, or on our history with the series (we actually quite liked the first Dead Island), but rather the game's protracted development period. It's safe to say we were somewhat sceptical of Dead Island 2 heading into this hands-on preview.
