Came into this game with high expectations, especially after being a big fan of the first one and the Dead Island series, but I was thoroughly disappointed.

It feels to me like the passion for the title was left in the first game, this version hosts a plethora of bugs, wonky animations, one of the most unnecessary game mechanics I've seen in all my years of gaming as well as networking issues.

The whole immunity system just adds tension to something that doesn't need it, this timer does not allow you to enjoy the nights, or think your way around in dens. And there is no lore reason for this, i cannot fathom how all the engineers, scientists, electricians, or just general smart person, didn't think to carry a UV light with them at night, to stop a disease progressing, it is an un-immersive system, with no gameplay value that only serves to annoy the player.

The multiplayer desync is insane, from zombies teleporting around, friends teleporting around, Zombie grabs bypassing dodges, explosions from hazmat zombie tanks only running on who activated it, it goes on.

And the player animations are just, what the ♥♥♥♥. You only really notice it when playing in coop but it is beyond bad, the player will slide towards an interactable, break his shoulder in 3 spots to throw a knife, it just looks wonky and lazy.

For the price tag on this product, it should deliver a LOT better then what it has.
