Graphically, a notch above the previous chapters.
Los Angeles is much more interesting than fictional islands.
The enemy AI significantly improved.
A lot of customization for weapons.

A very fun and immediate gameplay The ultra varied arsenal, with a bunch of Hell-A mods, a great playground Elementary attacks Side missions often very funny Killers and skill cards Fake open world: real good idea
A little rigid in the movements The writing of the main quest very classic Never very beautiful (but always correct) A certain lack of variety in the zombies

An end that does not create enough surprise and even goes so far as to recycle
The typing sensations are a little underused with the DualSense, too bad (we loved it on Dying Light 2!)

The story is generic and follows the standard zombie trope
Blocking is mandatory in some encounters
Each Character is interchangeable, with the NPCs using vague pronouns to describe the character (They/Them)
Ruins previous Dead Island lore and characters.

The atmosphere of Los Angeles with a light tone and some interesting characters...
The six characters with their own specificities
Card-based skills for a personalized experience
Autophage and bloodthirsty anger mode, two interesting novelties and bringing a significant touch
A crazy and effective soundtrack
The fights as brutal, nervous and above all enjoyable
The impressive dismemberment system, reinforcing the jubilant coast
The improvement of weapons very complete and leaving a lot of freedom to the players
A convincing lifespan overall (between 20 and 25 hours to see the end)

Wonderful LA interpretation. Fun upgrade system. Intense battles. Co-op support. Varied playable characters. Great graphics.
Boring side missions. Too much resource gathering. Feels stale.

Console CreaturesFun and humourous, a zombie game that keeps things light
The FLESH system is disgusting, gory, and gruesome but it's a nice addition
Customization is king and finding and upgrading weapons is a blast
Large open areas filled with collectibles and weapons

A typical story about zombies
Sometimes missions go on for longer than they need to
Had a few minor glitches that led to restarting the session
