With how much Dead Island 2\u2019s apocalypse parody poked fun at the Los Angeles area earlier this year, I guess it was only a matter of time before it turned its attention from vicious zombies to equally mindless cultists. I mean, how could they forget California\u2019s reputation for welcoming eccentric people who then take advantage of our tolerance by brainwashing vast swathes of the population? Thankfully, this is something developer Dambuster Studios has corrected with its first DLC, Haus, which transports your character to a cult compound in Malibu where you\u2019ll rub elbows with rich elites and smack down zombies who look like they\u2019re dressed for the runway. And while I won’t turn my nose up at a few more good laughs from a game I enjoyed, a three-hour runtime and very few new wrinkles to change up Dead Island 2\u2019s basic zombie slashing formula make this jaunt extremely short-lived and a little unexciting.<\/p>\n
