I just finished my second playthrough of Dead Island 2, and for some reason this game really resonated with me the way few other games ever have, and just like with the first playthrough, I'm kind of bummed that there's nothing left for me to do in the game.

The story was the weakest part, but the gameplay, music, sound production, voice acting, "set design," -- everything-- was absolutely incredible, imo. Attention to detail is huge for me, and when I can read what it says on a tiny box of pills--that says passionate devs and quality publisher to me. I also LOVE how the zombie damage is depicted, with different weapons causing different wound shapes, and the guts jiggle independently of the body. Most satisfying zombie killing ever.

So what games did you yearn for more of when you finished it?

Outer Wilds. Such a great game. I won't post any spoilers but there were moments I actually held my breath. I had feelings I havent had in any other video game. It was bittersweet to finish. I still haven't done the DLC - I've been saving it for a good time.

I just beat Outer Wilds a few months ago and the DLC last week. It's easily one of my favorite games but once you know the secrets there's no going back. I'm so glad I never had anything spoiled and went in on a random recommendation.

Even though I loved the base game the DLC doesn't have quite the same feel. I got legitimately frustrated at certain parts too. But it's also more outer wilds and is nearly it's own game so can't really complain.

I agree with the dlc. I could not finish it. I am sure they just wanted to do something new, but it just felt too different to me.

Not to be confused with Outer Worlds, the Morning bsidian RPG. That one is also good but nowhere near as mind-blowing as Outer Wilds is

The Outer Worlds was like… copper. Maybe tin. I went in with no expectations and was disappointed. It’s a fine game, it just really lacks depths and is way more linear than it puts on.

Honestly, I really disliked the end of outer worlds 1. The game felt not as polished near the end, and I got railroaded into the 'evil' ending with no way out of it.

Hoping outer worlds 2 fixes that, but I'm waiting for a deep discount first.

First time I really felt like I actually died/lost the game in a certain situation.

Wrapped it up this week, amazing game. One of my favorites of the last couple years.
