Discover the average playtime for dead island 2: around 20 hours for the main story, and 50 hours for completionists.
According to interviews with Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios, the publisher and developer of dead island 2 respectively, the average playthrough takes about 20 hours. This estimate includes finishing the main story and engaging with some side content.
Based on hands-on experience, the main story campaign in dead island 2 is indeed around 20 hours long. This journey will take you across ten different maps, completing main story missions throughout Los Angeles (Hell-A). Each area also features several side missions, collectibles, and optional content such as journal hunting, lockbox opening, and other loot opportunities.
For players aiming for 100% completion, the playtime can extend to around 50 hours, factoring in necessary backtracking. The main story is structured linearly, and the game intentionally leaves stronger zombies in each map, encouraging players to return later when they are more powerful or when the main story path leads them back.
The map design in dead island 2 is reminiscent of the original Stalker games, offering a linear progression with areas that become accessible later in the game, rewarding exploration. If you're primarily interested in the regular story campaign and zombie combat, expect a fun 20-hour experience. However, if you're pursuing achievements or a platinum trophy, the playtime is likely around 50 hours, with a potential ten-hour variation depending on cooperative play or individual efficiency.
