Dead Island is developed by Techland and Published by Deep Silver.

Deep Silver Credits:
Concept/Story Anton Borkel & Malte Wagener, Director Anton Borkel, Producer Malte Wagener, Q&A Philipp Foly (creative), Christian Löhlein (art) & Daniel Oberlerchner (technical), Brand Managers Vincent Kummer / Malte Wagener

“Dead Island is a first-person hack-and-slash game set in the midst of a zombie outbreak in a tropical paradise. It’s more Dead Rising than Resident Evil, with a focus on action over suspense. The developers themselves say they’re going for “zombie zombie zombie all the time.” An abundance of makeshift weapons lying around like paddles, baseball bats, and wrenches – and the fact that these can be combined and upgraded – further reminds me of Dead Rising.” Devilcantburn

Crysis 2 does an excellent job of portraying a city under siege without indulging in constant action-film cutaways. There is still plenty of cinematic excess here, though it’s delivered organically. Yes, there are a few scripted moments in which you are more of an observer than a participant; and, yes, you might be able to hold a key to peer at the imposing alien structure towering in the distance. But rather than wrest control away from you to highlight every falling skyscraper, collapsing passageway, and hovering alien ship, Crysis 2 allows these events to simply happen. And, because they are often so momentous, your attention is drawn to them. The few occasions when the game stops to consider how the average citizen might be affected by an alien invasion lend humanity to your militaristic actions. Familiar landmarks are defaced, lay in ruin, or explode as you watch. There’s an eerie contrast between the untouched trees of Central Park swaying in the wind and the rubble stretching behind them. The visual design eschews artistic flair in favor of authenticity, and it mostly succeeds at providing a frightening real-world backdrop for large-scale shoot-outs.

If you appreciated Crysis as a technical benchmark, as well as an excellent shooter, you might be surprised by Crysis 2′s more modest menu options. There are a few preset graphics options (high, very high, and extreme), but the menu doesn’t allow you to tweak antialiasing settings and such, as you would expect in the sequel to the highly customizable Crysis. (You can adjust these settings by entering certain console commands, but that is not an acceptable alternative to built-in menu options.) Furthermore, the game does not support DirectX 11, so you won’t see the advanced lighting techniques here that you see in games like Metro 2033 and Dirt 2. But to pick these nits with much vigor would be unfair to one of the best-looking games in recent times. Crysis 2 looks stunning, runs smoothly on even modest systems, and suffers from few obvious bugs and glitches.
