The MinnMax Show Dead Island 2 Review, Nintendo Reveals, Sonic's Murder
Dead Island 2's Development
- Dead Island 2's development was long and tumultuous, spanning 10 years and three studios.
- Despite this, the final product is surprisingly polished, exceeding low expectations.
Dead Island 2 Reception
- Dead Island 2 is better received than anticipated, considered a solid B-game.
- It's praised for detailed environments and simple but enjoyable zombie combat.
Discovering the Fun
- Jeff Marchiafava initially found Dead Island 2's combat wonky.
- He later discovered its absurd, ultra-violent playground through physics and elemental effects.
Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode, Ben Hanson, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, Jeff Marchiafava, and Leo Vader defend the zombie-slaying fun to be head in Dead Island 2, talk about the challenges of an RTS on console with Minecraft Legends, and talk about the promising gameplay of Disney Speedstorm. Then Sarah Podzorski joins the show as we check in on the horror-themed fishing game Dredge, the biggest reveals from Nintendo Indie World, and SEGA's April Fool's Day game that's surprisingly good called The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
