So here’s a funny story. Thanks to YouTube’s recent tightening of restrictions, the last time I previewed Dead Island 2 the video that I made was age-gated as soon as it was published thanks to the extreme gore on show. OK, so maybe its not that funny because I worked super late into the night to get the video ready for a crazy embargo and in the end it was a huge waste of time because hardly anyone watched it.<\/p>\n

Which is why, my lovely friends, you will see a lot<\/strong> of pictures of my cats edited into my brand new preview video above. What better way to censor a video than by filling it with cats, eh? <\/p>\n

Seriously though, the gore in Dead Island 2 is on another level to anything else I\u2019ve seen in a video game. The procedural way that the zombies fall apart as you hit, melt, shock and burn them really has to be seen to be believed as it\u2019s both gruesome and glorious at the same time. It\u2019s like an early Peter Jackson movie come to life and honestly, if you\u2019re a horror movie gore-hound, the visuals in this game are going to leave you whooping your beautiful little head off because there are some spectacular displays of dismemberment and destruction here.<\/p>\n
