This is precisely why critical reception for the game didn’t blow us out of the water, but commendable scores were accompanied by a refreshing aura of positivity. Melee combat, gore, and exploration were the trio of pillars holding Dead Island 2 up, and so long as they remained strong, anything tertiary could exist without issue. The minimum processor required is AMD FX-9590 / Intel Core i7-7700HQ and the minimum graphics needed are Radeon RX 6800 XT (16384 VRAM) / GeForce RTX 2070 Suer (8192 MB).When it was handed the project, Dambuster Studios looked at the failures of its previous game - Homefront: The Revolution - and decided to cut back on unnecessary systems and ideas to the end goal of schlocky, over-the-top fun. Those on PC will need a rig that meets the minimum specifications, which are relatively high if I do say so myself. You're able to pick up the game on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4 and PS5. The title will be released on both last-gen and current-gen consoles, meaning those who are yet to upgrade are in luck.
