Game Rantalso gave the game a positive review. “It is certainly not without its issues, butDead Island 2is a fun co-op game that lets players dropkick zombies, and there’s something to say for mindless fun like that,” the article said. “It suffers from some major jank and needs a few patches to iron out its more serious issues, but those that enjoy looter games and are looking for a fun co-op game to sink their teeth into should consider giving it a look when it’s on sale.”
