The game certainly doesn’t take itself seriously, and neither did I. Soon after, you realize you’re immune to the pathogen, and with your abilities, you decide to find a way to escape the city by any means necessary.ĭespite not being grand, eloquent, or narratively rich, Dead Island 2’s story succeeded in amusing and entertaining me with its several goofy moments, cringy references, and bizarre scenes. The game then prompts players to pick their desired character out of the six to leave the crash site. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned as the airplane unsurprisingly gets breached with infected passengers leading to a big crash.
Dead Island 2 takes place in LA, now amusingly referred to as “HELL-A,” and follows a group of six survivors who, while the pandemic is still fresh, make it onto a plane heading out of the city filled with the last remaining zombie-free elite in LA. It’s a little surprising that Dead Island 2 hasn’t gone the usual sequel route of bringing back as much of the original game’s cast as possible, but it’s at least nice to know that they’re all still alive in canon and are seemingly just up to their own things.For those unfamiliar with Dead Island, the series follows several playable survivors in different settings as they find a way to survive and deal with a zombie apocalypse. However, the ending of Dead Island: Riptide is still held as a bit of a mystery as it doesn’t say why Purna and Sam B stopped talking. While it is not explicitly stated that Xian Mei and John are alive, Sam’s casual demeanor when he talks about them seems to suggest that they are, while his comments about Purna and Logan confirm that they are fine as well. Sam B mentions seeing Xian Mei more like a knife while also revealing that he and Purna stopped talking after “what happened on the boat”, referring to the end of Dead Island: Riptide. Sam is then questioned about who else helped him in Banoi, which is when he mentions Xian Mei, Purna, John Carter, and even Jin, who wasn’t a playable character in the original game, but a major supporting one.
