And with such an oversaturated market, it makes sense that players might be overly critical of a good game that doesn’t quite live up to their lofty expectations. On the other hand, this also means that it’s incredibly difficult for a title to stand out among other zombie games, as we’ve seen nearly every variation of an undead apocalypse since the early days of Zombies Ate My Neighbors. That’s why zombies are so prevalent in gaming, with these human-shaped husks just begging to be put out of their misery without the need for pesky moral quandaries. However, there are only so many times that a player can be urged to decapitate NPCs before some uncomfortable questions start to creep in about the sadistic nature of finding entertainment in simulated murder.

Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studios have announced that since Dead Island 2 launched last Friday, it has sold over 1 million copies after just three days on sale.ĭeep Silver also took the opportunity to drop a few in-game facts with the announcement. While we don’t know exactly when Dead Island 2 will break even after its nearly decade-long development, it’s off to a good start.
