I just finished my second playthrough of Dead Island 2, and for some reason this game really resonated with me the way few other games ever have, and just like with the first playthrough, I’m kind of bummed that there’s nothing left for me to do in the game.
The story was the weakest part, but the gameplay, music, sound production, voice acting, “set design,” – everything-- was absolutely incredible, imo. Attention to detail is huge for me, and when I can read what it says on a tiny box of pills–that says passionate devs and quality publisher to me. I also LOVE how the zombie damage is depicted, with different weapons causing different wound shapes, and the guts jiggle independently of the body. Most satisfying zombie killing ever.
So what games did you yearn for more of when you finished it?
I have two. First is Portal2. I had so much fun in that game. The second is Half-Life: Alyx. That is the game that taught me how immersive a VR game could be. I particularly enjoyed one part where I was in a pitch black tunnel with only a narrow flashlight beam to try and spot the head-crab that I could hear somewhere nearby in the darkness. But the whole game was a fantastic experience.
Alyx is a genre defining game. It’s Half-Life 3 for anyone who bought into VR, and it’s one of the best and most immersive games you’ll ever play. In fact, I’m hoping that it gets its due with the new Steam equipment.
I highly recommend looking into the Goldeneye Mod if you wanted to juice a little more playtime in the system. The facility map is :chefs-kiss:.
Try portal: reloaded and portal: revolution. Those are fan made mods with more levels. Pretty good so far.
Portal: Revolution is awesome!
