Dead Island 2 on PC is a capable port that's smooth and stutter-free. Here's the digitalfoundry tech review:
, offering reasonable image quality and performance across both last-gen and current-gen consoles - so how does it fare on PC? Does it buck the trend of recent Unreal Engine 4 releases by delivering a stable, performant experience, or is it another disappointing PC port in the 2023 #StutterStruggle saga?
In line with its last-gen roots, Dead Island 2 looks good but doesn't push any boundaries graphically, with a fairly standard lighting model with great use of indirect lighting, nice-looking character models and some slick animations. Loading times are also rapid, in line with the SSD-equipped current-gen consoles.
Another oddity is how reflections are handled. Rather than opting to cover or shatter mirrors in its environment to avoid this tricky rendering situation like many other games do, Dead Island 2 has mirrors all over the place early on, but they don't work - you just get a low-res cube map that warps awkwardly as you pass by.
