Dead Island 2: Haus DLC Review
30.10.2023 - 13:59 / ign.com / Travis Northup
With how much Dead Island 2’s apocalypse parody poked fun at the Los Angeles area earlier this year, I guess it was only a matter of time before it turned its attention from vicious zombies to equally mindless cultists. I mean, how could they forget California’s reputation for welcoming eccentric people who then take advantage of our tolerance by brainwashing vast swathes of the population? Thankfully, this is something developer Dambuster Studios has corrected with its first DLC, Haus, which transports your character to a cult compound in Malibu where you’ll rub elbows with rich elites and smack down zombies who look like they’re dressed for the runway. And while I won't turn my nose up at a few more good laughs from a game I enjoyed, a three-hour runtime and very few new wrinkles to change up Dead Island 2’s basic zombie slashing formula make this jaunt extremely short-lived and a little unexciting.
Dead Island 2 is a hysterical Los Angeles-infused satire that does most things well enough, but feels like a stroll down the Walk of Fame of celebrated zombie games I’ve already played without adding many new ideas of its own. In fact, aside from the stellar comedy bits, I can think of very few things that Dead Island 2 does better than last year’s Dying Light 2. Still, if you’ve ever wanted to put your Wolverine claws straight through a zombie’s face or knock someone’s head off with a golf club, Dead Island 2’s got you. Its bloodsoaked melee combat and memorable characters are a lot of fun, especially when accompanied by friends in co-op multiplayer. The somewhat generic crafting weapons and upgrading your skills as you lay waste to armies of spray-tanned undead is entertaining enough on its own, but the strong writing and completely irreverent tone are the true stars of the show. - Travis Northup, April 18, 2023
Read the full Dead Island 2 review.
When it comes to story, Dead Island 2 is back up to its old tricks in Haus, with some amusingly dumb but ultimately incomprehensible hijinks. With zero explanation, starting the first of the DLC’s two story missions takes you to the headquarters of a cult obsessed with immortality that has been preparing for the zombie apocalypse their leader predicted since before it happened. From there you’ll do silly things like fight a giant zombie dressed as a pig at a barbecue diner and toss dismembered heads at your enemies just because. It’s not exactly highbrow stuff and, frankly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. That said, in the second half it makes the very odd decision to present the cult (who brainwashes and tortures its members) as a benevolent organization, which makes your mission hard to get behind. But questionable moral implications aside, the

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III draws harsh reviews after rushed development
The latest entry in Activision Blizzard's popular Call of Duty video-game series was made in half the time of previous iterations, a fact that may be contributing to a spate of bad reviews, according to people familiar with the development process. Critics have panned the game, the first big release since Microsoft Corp. closed its $69 billion acquisition of Activision last month, saying the storyline feels rushed. Most Call of Duty games are developed in around three years, but the bulk of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which comes out Friday, was made in less than a year and a half, said the people, who asked to not be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly. The abridged production schedule proved stressful for the development team, they said.
