Give Us Something Fun to Shoot
We keep seeing the same half dozen enemy types in every zombie game. Zombies that explode, others that spit, the obligatory comically tall tank-type, etc. It’s boring. Dying Light had at least one good idea with its Volatile enemy, who’s just as and often more capable of running up walls, over fences and through empty streets as you are.
The rest aren’t nearly as successful because they don’t have such a symbiotic relationship with the game’s basic mechanics. They’re filler.
Designing a monster around a mechanic like the freerunning system is a fantastic idea. I’d like to see Dead Island 2 do something similar, preferably with more than one of its enemies, because I genuinely don’t want to fight another kamikaze, tank or spitting zombie again, unless it’s in a game I already own.
That’s everything. Well, maybe not everything, but it’s most of the ideas I’ve had sitting in my head, waiting to be typed up since not long after this game was announced. If you have your own wish list for Dead Island 2, this is where you share it with us.
