Dead Island 2 Standard Edition

Dead Island 2 is set in a quarantined Los Angeles that the marketing insisted on calling HELL-A, and the joke holds up better than it has any right to: the outbreak has hit Bel-Air mansions, Venice Beach and the Hollywood hills, and everyone left is either dead or insufferable. You pick one of six Slayers, each with their own stats, skills and opinions about what is happening, and the game is built around melee. The FLESH system models damage layer by layer, so bone, muscle and tissue come apart according to what you hit them with and where, and the weapon mod system exists mainly to make that worse. Skills are cards you swap freely rather than a locked tree, so builds can be rebuilt mid-mission. Firearms show up later and never replace the bat. Three-player online co-op runs through the whole campaign, and there is no competitive PvP. Two story expansions, Haus and SoLA, were added after launch. The Standard Edition is the base game and its campaign. Neither story expansion is included. Keys activate on Steam or Xbox.
