+ slashing through zombies was fun and enjoyable
+ new zombie type + some elemental zombie wariations
+ 2 expansions
+ finally some playable and AAA zombie themed game
+ you can find Sam from past Dead Islands

- most of zombies were just copy-paste from previous game
- leveling sucks af and is mostly pointless cuz "INNOVATIVE" cards are boring, designed to be found during missions or random drops with 1 specific effects without any modifiers, and most of them are quite useless or used to boost specific elements, like throwing, sliding, kicking. Most of the game I used same cards, cuz new were dull, useless(like dealing 2-3% of enemy hp when u slide into them)
- everything is scaled soo u are forced to upgrade your weapon to deal medium damage and u can never be better than average in most game aspects
- u will find same weapons over and over again with some level caps. There is only 3-4 knives, 4 katanas, 3-5 poking sticks, 4-6 blunt weapons, 5 guns, 5 katars and 3 machetes which u can see through leveling and droping over and over the same "skin" for different weapons
- elemental damage to stronger zombie types is silly, but it kills u almost instantly (yes, u can get knocked into fire/electrified water and get killed from full hp(-knock damage) watching as ur character tries to get up
- throwable items like shuriken or grenades deal really low damage, only usefull things u can do with it, is to destroy door blockers(u can do it with normal weapon or gun) or stop screamer zombie also game often forces you to swap throwable to specific 1 like water grenade to negate fire and it's okey, except u can only have 2 throwables with long cooldown and u can't predict what u gonna need next, soo u have to pause mid fight just to swap them in ur eq
- locations are dull, boring , small and u are forced to backtrack often on top of it.Most of them works as small part -> main quest where u open big door -> another part of the map -> quest with even bigger door -> new location
- u can never 100% location when u go there, cuz most of the content there is locked behind specific zombie type that u will find later or optional quest will appear after some main quests
- some tasks and locations are so enigmatic, that I was desperately watching playthroughs how somebody finished that or find out where to go/what to do
- main story and characters sucks, trying to be funny, sarcastic or attentional for no reason, and story presented by the game is .... cut in half (NO SPOILER), basically u are done with some minor things and ready for a long battle with boss, finding key character and HORDE of zombies in front of you, but when u kill 3 of them in the cutscene, with given weapon... game just shows u credits.... WORST ENDING I'VE EVER SEEN
- u can also New Game +, but it offers completely nothing except doing everything the same as it was
- yes u can make a good zombie slasher with story that bad, but u have no possible activity, except running around just to take down some zombies(mb strange SKOPE device does something, but it's locked for singleplayer)
- u don't have to do any bonus activities at all, main quests gives you weapons, zombies can drop weapon, u can match weapon level to your level for a price
- too much dlc's with only 1 skin and 1 weapon, nobody really cares about them, cuz u can see your character ONLY 1 time during final cutscene, most "special" weapons are scalled to certain area and u have to pay for every level upgrade and they are nothing new, just another skin for your katana with decent effect etc.

In conclusion this game was dead before it was released and probly a setter for dead island 3, but I bet noone will fall again for this trashy game
I had high hopes after 2 last games, but game offers average experience, where fights are enjoyable, but its potential was never used, and below average everything else, many bugs, and absolutely no point to play it after u finish main story, which is probly like 16hrs at best
Dear Developers...
