Dead Island 2: Haus

Dead Island 2’s HAUS DLC is an enjoyable little excursion into a new area that slightly expands on the original ending and leaves us with more questions than answers. In many ways, I feel there is a lot of missed potential from this DLC. It could have expanded the world more than it did and it could have offered significantly more playtime.

Haus adds almost nothing more than what was seen in Dead Island 2. The purchase is therefore only recommended for fans of the brand and those who want to invest a few extra hours in the company of friends.

If you loved Dead Island 2 madly or bought the Gold version which also included the Season Pass, Haus will give you a couple of pleasant evenings, but in all other cases the advice is to wait for a price drop or the inevitable Game of the Year Edition which will include all the post-launch DLC.

Dead Island 2: Haus stands out for maintaining the game's basic structure and presenting a new uncompromising story without much logic. With a short duration and little beyond the basics, it lacks enough content to warrant a return to the game.

The Dead Island 2 Haus DLC is a very small expansion that doesn't bring anything substantially new to the experience. Its brevity prevents it from overstaying its welcome, but the additionl of a cool crossbow weapon is not enough to get most players to return to Hell-A so soon.
