Dead Island 2
Dead Island 2 (2023) is a first-person action RPG developed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver. A zombie virus spreads across Los Angeles, and you fight to survive in style as you discover who (or what) you are. Featuring intense and visceral melee combat, Dead Island 2 boasts of having “the most advanced dismemberment system ever seen.”
Use the crafting mechanic to create insane modded weapons like flaming katanas or an exploding sledgehammer. Dead Island 2 features dozens of zombie variants, each with unique mutations, attacks, and LA vibes. Play a cinematic co-op adventure with up to three players or join the Bobcats in co-op horde mode.

From the creators of Botanicula and CHUCHEL, this dark indie game features creepy music and sounds from the Czech freak-folk band DVA. It also comes with a warning for those sensitive to flashing lights or images. There is also a mature content warning for disturbing images such as blood violence and more. In other words, Happy Game is anything but happy.
