OCG: Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls...
I am thee Obsessive Compulsive Gamer joined once again by my faithful manservant/factotum Bertrum. Say hello, Bertrum
Bertrum: Hello, Bertrum!
OCG: And this is my review for the DYING LIGHT 2 PREQUEL
Bertrum: Oh, I see what you did there. Very clever, OCG
OCG: Aren't I? Haha
So, the DYING LIGHT 2 PREQUEL released in 2015. A year I remember fondly as the year I walked in on a vampire and a zombie "having relations"
Bertrum: They were eating someone's relations?
OCG: No. They were eating out each other
Bertrum: Oh my!
OCG: So what the Hell is the DYING LIGHT 2 PREQUEL? I am so glad you asked, dear viewer
Bertrum: I didn't hear anything
OCG: Shut up, Bertrum! The DYING LIGHT 2 PREQUEL is rather like DEAD ISLAND but with parkour and less "who do you voodoo, bitch?"
Bertrum: "Who do you voodoo, bitch?"
OCG: "Who do you voodoo, bitch?"
So, story. We play as a...I want to say soldier? Secret agent? Mole?
Bertrum: Awww I love moles
OCG: Not THAT kind of mole, Bertrum
Bertrum: Awww
OCG: Anyway, our character is dropped into the city of Harran to...I want to say retrieve a document? Save the world? Retrieve a document that will save the world? Anyway, there's zombies and a villain we have to take down. And this villain is a dictator? Or is he just a dick? Or a dictator with a dick? Who cares. He's the villain. We're the good guy. Lights, camera, action
Bertrum: Should I take my clothes off?
OCG: What?
Bertrum: The last time you said lights, camera, action was that time you wanted to film me naked while I was...
OCG: Shut up, Bertrum! That reminds me I still need to upload that video to pornhub.com. I am going to be rich! Moving on...
So, gameplay. This is very similar to something like FAR CRY. There's climbing radio towers, different factions, crafting and a villain that's more hammy than Porky Pig on a spit roast. Did you know, Bertrum that I was spit roasted once
Bertrum: Really?
OCG: Oh, yes. Back in my University days. Good times
Bertrum: How kinky
OCG: Kinky? Oh...No. It wasn't THAT kind of spit roast. Myself and a few of my fellow students were on an expidition in the jungles of Peru when we were suddenly kidnapped and almost roasted alive by a group of natives. That's were the spit roast came into play
Bertrum: Ah. However did you escape?
OCG: Ha! Escape is my middle name, Bertrum
Bertrum: I thought your middle name was Buttercup?
OCG: Touche. Basically we were rescued by someone with a whip
Bertrum: Indiana Jones?
OCG: No. A dominatrix, I think
Bertrum: Oh
OCG: So, what do I think of the DYING LIGHT 2 PREQUEL? I am so glad you asked, dear viewer
Bertrum: I didn't hear anything
OCG: Shut up, Bertrum. The DYING LIGHT 2 PREQUEL is lots of zombie slaying fun. I do think it's a little TOO similar to something like DEAD ISLAND especially the wonky melee combat but the parkour is fun. Infact I may take up parkour in real life
Bertrum: Really?
OCG: No. Not really. Therefore I am going to give the DYING LIGHT 2 PREQUEL 3 out of 5
