While there are plenty of zombie games on the market, none have attempted to simulate the gruesomeness of dismemberment in quite the same way as Dead Island 2. In other zombie games, a single hit from a weapon will leave the same predictable mark on an undead foe – a slash across the chest, a missing limb, or a crushed skull. The FLESH system, on the other hand, ensures that each blow to a zombie will yield a different outcome. Strike a walker with a meat cleaver and you’ll see its skin peel away, but keep at it and you’ll gradually reveal the muscle, bone, and even internal organs beneath. It’s a level of realism that is sure to make players cringe, but also sets the game apart from its competition.
