Add craftable elemental weapons into the mix, and it's pleasingly easy to get things burning, electrified, or dissolving in acid.įurther grimy texture comes with the ability to chop off zombie limbs. The zombies are dumb enough to simply shamble into whatever mess you create, and recharging throwable bait makes it even easier to direct them around. When fires get out of control, you can douse them with water-and then electrify that water to stun anyone who walks into it. Jerry cans of oil are littered liberally around, ready to be used as explosives or fuel for flaming traps, and you can even create a flammable trail for more elaborate schemes.

Slow, predictable, and fair game to maim and torture with a clean conscience, zombies are a foe to be played with, and the game leans into that with a combat system full of toys. The vision seems to be that Dead Island 2's focus is the pure fun of its zombie battles. It's pleasingly easy to get things burning, electrified, or dissolving in acid. Nevertheless, I feel I should at least mention them.(Image credit: Dambuster Studios) (opens in new tab)
I did experience some traversal stutters, though they weren’t that frequent. The game does not suffer from any mouse issues, there are proper on-screen K&M indicators, and we didn’t experience any crashes.

This is one of the best-looking games on PC, and it does not require a high-end PC system for achieving 60fps. And to be honest, until games start using UE5’s Nanite, we won’t get a game without these pop-ins.Īll in all, Dead Island 2 performs incredibly well on PC. Still, you will easily notice object pop-ins while exploring the environments. Thankfully, the game offers a better LOD than the one used in other triple-A games. My only gripe with Dead Island 2 is its pop-in issues. And since the rasterized dynamic TOD in most games is so inconsistent, I’d take pre-baked lighting any time of day (as long as it looks this good). Dead Island 2 looks consistently amazing, with high-resolution textures, highly detailed characters, and an incredible GORE system. And, to be honest, that’s one of the reasons why it looks so good. Yes, the game does not have Ray Tracing or a fully dynamic Time of Day. Graphics-wise, Dead Island 2 is one of the best-looking games on PC as it offers the best pre-baked lighting we’ve seen. And as for native 4K/Ultra, the only GPUs that were able to offer a smooth gaming experience were the AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. The AMD Radeon RX580 was able to push 40fps, and the GTX980Ti was noticeably slower than the RX Vega 64 (which could offer over 70fps at all times).Īt 1440p/Ultra, our top five GPUs were able to push framerates higher than 60fps. And although it can scale on even more CPU cores/threads, it does not bring any additional performance improvements.Īt 1080p/Ultra, most of our GPUs were able to provide a constant 60fps experience. From what we can see, the game can take advantage of six CPU cores/threads. There were some stutters without SMT (Hyper-Threading for our Intel readers) which were reduced the moment we enabled it. Even our simulated dual-core system was able to provide framerates higher than 60fps at 1080p/Ultra. We also disabled the second CCD on our AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.ĭead Island 2 does not require a high-end CPU. In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPU threads, we simulated a dual-core, a quad-core and a hexa-core CPU. This scene features a large map/level with numerous zombies, meaning that it can stress both the CPU and the GPU. So, for our GPU benchmarks, we used the first main mission in which you fight numerous zombies.įor our CPU benchmarks, we used the following scene. Furthermore, the game will compile its shaders when you first launch it, meaning that you won’t experience any shader compilation stutters.ĭead Island 2 does not feature any built-in benchmark tool. The game also supports AMD’s FSR 2.0 tech, though there is no support for Intel XeSS or NVIDIA DLSS 2. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Shadows, Textures, View Distance, Effects and more.

Powered by Unreal Engine 4, it’s time now to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580, RX Vega 64, RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti, RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080 and RTX 4090.
