I watched my friend play Dead Island 2 at its launch. The gore system is absolutely brutal, with zombie flesh and bone all layered and dynamic. Also the game has really solid lighting without (afaik) a heavy reliance on realtime raytracing tech.

I know melee combat is the focus, but I can’t really speak for the gameplay beyond that. I think there’s value in trying it for the gore system alone, especially at that price and if there’s other games in the bundle you would want to play.
