They took a series where the challenge is in time management, saving retards and killing psychopathic minibosses into a bland mini sandbox about just killing zombies. Literally just killing zombies. But with far less environment interactivity, no challenge, no psychopaths and no time management

This is missing. DaS2 was such a clusterfuck of a development that it couldn't refine anything. The few gems in it are likely artifacts of a scope that far outreached what the team was actually capable of doing in time.

I didn't like the way the game felt/controlled, the world was boring, the bosses were forgettable, the NPCs did nothing, invading was ass, and the DLCs were better than the main game and still weren't that great. The only thing I miss from DaS2 is bonefists. Only fun weapon in the game especially after they took away UGS golf swing.
