Good. I love it when the underdog succeeds. Well done to them!

[Bathyj]

Yep. This game could have gone so sideways. Happy to see it didn't.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Awesome. Still baffled as to how it scored well but i root for DI.

[FPSRUSSIA]

Over 1 million sold in just 3 days is Great Numbers Still need to get my Copy

[neutralgamer1992]

It’s a fun game something missing from many games now a days. Comparing to dying light this is much more fun even though both series are excellent in my opinion

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

This is the first time a game goes through development hell, changes studios and designs, then ends up being a success. Everyone at Dambuster Studios should be proud.

[blackblades]

Yeah usually that's a sign of failure. Also it shows that no one should count a game out until its out and out for a 1 week.

[bangoskank]

I happy for Dam Busters. If Jedi Survivor and Tears of the Kingdom weren't right around the corner I'd buy this but money and time are scarce.

[FPSRUSSIA]

over 1 million have bought this game even with those games coming out Looking forward to Jedi Survivor.

[bangoskank]

Not all of us can afford to spend money on three games per month. There are other important things like bills, making sure children are cared for, food, gas, etc. Inflation doesn't help. Glad it's doing well but I'll be patient and play when I'm ready.

[jznrpg]

I have the money but I have a stack of PS5 games I still need to get to and PSVR2 games. Some games I wait. I bought Trinity Trigger day 1 because I want to support rpg games and particular devs that makes games I enjoy the most.
But some of these games like Dead Island 2 I will wait for a physical sale because I know I am not going to play it anytime soon.

I already have a bunch of other games preordered too like FF16. Just lack of time and why spend full price for every game?

[bangoskank]

Exactly. Throwing money at games that will just end up in my ever growing backlog is just dumb and irresponsible. Tears of the Kingdom is one of those games however that does not end up in my backlog. Same with Jedi Survivor. RE4 Remake, Ragnarok, and Dead Space Remake were those types of games as well. I guess that's all subjective though.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Same here.. still got about 30 Switch games and about 20 games on my laptop, lol .. and they're mostly just visual novels which takes me weeks to get through one to begin with, lol

[darkrider]

Very good for the studio.

[masterfox]

yikes!, people were thirsty for some zombie action I see :D

[MetroidFREAK21]

Picked it up day 1. Haven't started it yet, but happy to see it do well. Heard good, fun things about it

[Crows90]

Okay . Pickup but immediately put down. Hmm I don't get this. Could a waited if you're busy.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I'm never busy. I'm a loser

[SurgicalMenace]

Almost 60 hours in. Game is fun as hell.

[badz149]

want to bet how much is the difference? 2:1? 3:1?

[ocelot07]

Great to hear

[mkis007]

It's really quite fun and dying is no big deal, reloads fast...there is challenge but it's not punishing.

The world is open enough to have exploration and world atmosphere without being a chore fest.

[Demetrius]

Now that’s what’s up!! Came from underdog status and yeeted to a milli in a couple days I’m glad to see games still selling well

[LucidIllusion]

NGL it's pretty good and I'm pretty surprised. Fun as heck

[REDGUM]

Loving the gameplay in this game. So glad it has turned out the way it has for them & me.
I loved the 1st game and this is a major step up in every way. Still only scratched the surface so far but looking forward to diving back into this one. Thanks Dambuster. 👌

[TheColbertinator]

Will look into Dead Island 2 later this year

[Vithar]

just pure fun :) loving it, gore system is sick!

[thesoftware730]

Really fun game and the pacing at which new things are introduced is well done, keeps it from getting stale.

This game has the best gore mechanics in any game I have played.

[isarai]

Im loving this game, combat just FEELS good, especially with my faves, the brass knuckles.

[REDGUM]

The sound if the knuckles too is pretty bang on too. Loving it.

[jznrpg]

Wow that’s a lot more than I expected for this game that has been in dev hell for many years. They actually got it to where it needed to be that is shocking really.
I’ll get it someday but in no rush to buy it I just have too much to play

[yeahokwhatever]

its cool, but the gore effects look weird.

[HyperMoused]

Simple zombie slaying fun, though i just got to a bit of a twist in the story i wasnt expecting which is nice.....bashing zombies over the weekend, some cool weapons are starting to spawn, hammer yeah, knife yeah, axe yeah....Claymore...oohhhh yeah.
