After almost a decade since its initial announcement, Dead Island 2 has finally been released. While the game’s default settings have been enjoyed by many players, some have taken to the internet to share their own in-game modifications that significantly enhance the game’s immersion. Dead Island 2 is the fourth installment in the popular Dead Island franchise and brings back the iconic arcade-style gameplay that fans have grown to love. However, some players have opted to customize the game settings to achieve a more realistic and immersive experience.
The development cycle of Dead Island 2 was fraught with rumors of indefinite cancellation. However, the game was eventually confirmed to still be in development and set for release. The latest entry in the series marks a significant departure, as the game is set in Los Angeles and features various quests and legendary weapons for players to discover. While some fans are content with the arcade-style combat, others have sought to alter the game settings to achieve a more grounded feel.
One Reddit user, TheDarkZEK, shared a video clip of their in-game settings, which includes minimum Field of View (FOV) and no HUD. The clip features TheDarkZEK engaging with different zombies in the game, showcasing the more immersive feel they aimed for. Commenters on the post noted how the game appears to be more immersive and expressed their intent to try out the custom settings.
While the game’s graphical style has been praised by many, it’s apparent that some fans may prefer a change to the game’s default settings. Dead Island 2 is a faithful successor to the original game and provides an interesting new location for players to explore. With its troubled development cycle behind it, the game could potentially receive additional content in the form of a DLC expansion.
