The PlayStation Store is currently offering significant discounts on a variety of popular video games to ring in the New Year, with one standout deal not to be missed.
Highlighted recently by Mirror Gaming, the often overlooked Star Wars Outlaws is now available at a greatly reduced price. Joining the list of discounted gems is Dead Island 2, offering an equally enticing deal.
Currently, the first-person RPG from Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver is on sale at an impressive 75% off, priced at just £11.24, down from its original £44.99.
The official game description sets the scene: “A deadly virus is spreading throughout Los Angeles, transforming its populace into zombies. Bitten, infected, yet more than immune, discover the truth behind the epidemic and unveil your identity. Survive, evolve, and become the savior of the world!”
Originally launched on PlayStation consoles in 2023, Dead Island 2 was well-received by critics, boasting a respectable Metacritic score of 73%. Critics praised its impressive visuals and satisfyingly intense zombie battles, highlighting the enjoyable, arcade-style action.
Despite its strengths, the game faced criticism for its narrative and mission design, which were deemed lacking in depth and originality by reviewers.
Nonetheless, Dead Island 2 proves its worth as an underrated title, offering endless entertainment in a haunting, post-apocalyptic rendition of Los Angeles.
Players assume the roles of various survivors with mysterious immunity to the deadly virus, navigating the crumbling city as society collapses. Their mission: uncover the truth behind the outbreak by any means necessary.
Don’t delay, as this special discount on Dead Island 2 at the PlayStation Store ends on January 8.
