Additionally, some users have reported receiving their kettlebells in poor packaging, but in my case, the product arrived safely and without any issues. In conclusion, the Weider Cast Iron Kettlebell is a fantastic addition to my fitness journey. Its durability and comfortable grip make it an ideal choice for anyone looking to tone and sculpt their muscles while burning calories fast.

Its high-quality cast iron construction ensures that it can withstand years of rigorous use without any signs of wear or damage. Additionally, the wide opening handle provides a comfortable, secure grip that makes it easy to perform a variety of exercises with one hand or two. Another highlight of this kettlebell is its flat bottom, which allows for easy, safe storage and the ability to be used in specific flat-bottom kettlebell exercises such as renegade rows and handstands. This feature sets it apart from other kettlebells on the market and adds an extra level of functionality to your workout. However, there are a few cons to consider as well. Some users have reported issues with the coating on the kettlebell, which can be damaged during shipping or handling. Additionally, the thick handle may be less comfortable for those with smaller hands. Overall, I highly recommend the Cap Barbell 50 lb Kettlebell as a versatile and effective piece of workout equipment. Its solid construction, comfortable grip, and unique flat-bottom design make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their strength, stamina, and balance through a complete total-body workout. 🔗50lb Shock-Proof Soft Kettlebell Sethttps://preview.redd.it/jtos3jw2m0rc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e93a3a9f4bdd1f0464f690c671ee75047248faa As an avid fitness enthusiast, I was ecstatic to try out the NZG Iron Sand Soft Kettlebell set. This 50lb collection comes with four different weights - a green 5lb, yellow 10lb, orange 15lb, and pink 20lb kettlebell—all designed with shock-resistant capabilities. One standout feature of these kettlebells is their iron sand core, which adds extra weight but also manages to provide versatile workouts, allowing me to target smaller muscle groups. Another impressive aspect is its unique design. The color-coded handles make it easy to differentiate between weights during intense workout sessions while the extra-wide, hard-shell handles ensure comfort during two-hand grips. However, there is one minor drawback. Even though they're shock-resistant, the sound produced when dropped is quite loud, so I had to be mindful of my surroundings. Nevertheless, overall, these kettlebells have significantly improved my workout routine with their sturdy construction and ability to add variety to my workouts. Having used this product for a while now, I can confidently say that investing in the NZG Iron Sand Soft Kettlebell set would be worth every penny, especially if you're looking for a diverse range of weights with a comfortable grip and good drop resistance. 🔗Lifeline 24 kg/53 lb Single-Piece Kettlebellhttps://preview.redd.it/qzlqpba3m0rc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36ac2eddf5ca09073e9e16844834c45b5195781b I recently got my hands on the Lifeline Kettlebell, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my workouts. This 24kg kettlebell is not just your average piece of fitness equipment; it's a multifunctional tool that combines strength training, muscle coordination, and aerobic exercise all in one. The first thing that stood out to me was its design. The Lifeline Kettlebell is made from first-run/virgin iron ore, giving it a strong, balanced, and single-piece casting. It also comes with a flat wobble-free base, which is perfect for those tricky workout moves. And did I mention how good it looks? The clean, consistent surface and durable powder-coat finish give this kettlebell premium level quality. Now, let's talk about performance. The Lifeline Kettlebell delivers functional whole-body fitness by combining the burn of cardio with muscle-building strength training and compound movements. Its classic design, popularized in Russia a few hundred years ago, allows for countless ways of use, including swings, presses, rows, twists, squats, and snatches. The fact that it is weighted off-centered makes it even more challenging, as it recruits more stabilizer muscles and works the targeted muscles through a wider range of motion. One thing I noticed during my workouts was that the handle size is perfect, not too big, not too small. This made it really comfortable to grip, even during those intense workout sessions. And speaking of grips, the Lifeline Kettlebell handles chalk better than other competitors I've tried, making my workouts a lot smoother. However, there's one small con that I couldn't ignore. The initial grip was a bit rough on my hands, causing some discomfort during the first few uses. But I'm glad to say that the grip has since worn down a bit, making it more comfortable to use now. In conclusion, the Lifeline Kettlebell has been a great addition to my workout routine. Its combination of strength training, muscle coordination, and aerobic exercise is a winning combo that has helped me improve my overall fitness level. If you're looking for a versatile piece of fitness equipment that will last you a lifetime, then the Lifeline Kettlebell is definitely worth considering. Buyer's GuideWhen considering purchasing a 50 lb kettlebell, several factors need to be taken into account. In this buyer's guide, we'll discuss important features, considerations, and general advice to help you make an informed decision.Materials and Durabilityhttps://preview.redd.it/hzbys4v3m0rc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b4b464b75bbc495aa911f351d57e2e4f3cbb0a8 Kettlebells are typically made of either cast iron, steel, or rubber-coated steel. Cast iron kettlebells are known for their durability and cost-effectiveness. Steel kettlebells are more resistant to chips, but generally come at a higher price point. Rubber-coated steel kettlebells offer similar benefits as steel kettlebells, with added protection against floor damage and reduced noise levels during workout sessions. Handle Size and ShapeThe handle size and shape of a kettlebell significantly impact user comfort and ease of use. A thicker handle may provide better grip security, but can be more difficult to grasp for individuals with smaller hands. Some kettlebells feature contoured handles, which are designed to accommodate different hand sizes and workout styles. Consider your hand size and preferred grip when selecting a kettlebell.Weight StabilityEnsure the kettlebell you choose has a stable weight distribution. Some models may have slightly off-center weights that may make them more challenging to use or cause unnecessary strain on your wrists and arms during workouts. Reading online reviews from other customers can help you determine if a particular kettlebell has any issues with weight stability. https://preview.redd.it/6rrqiuc4m0rc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7767c0886c8fc6a2544dc5c23af771dda055903 Brand Reputation and WarrantyChoose a reputable brand with a history of producing high-quality fitness equipment. This will help ensure your kettlebell is well-made and reliable. Additionally, research the warranty offered by the manufacturer, as this can provide added protection if the product develops any defects or issues over time.Price Range50 lb kettlebells can vary in price depending on materials, brand, and additional features like color or textured grip. It's essential to establish a budget before beginning your search, as this will help narrow down your options and prevent overspending on a product that may not suit your needs. Remember that investing in a high-quality kettlebell can save you money in the long run, as it will likely last longer and require fewer repairs or replacements than cheaper alternatives.Customer Reviewshttps://preview.redd.it/or7d9725m0rc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19d98b23e828ae75b0f10224f2af2a6a5d98cdbb

2023.04.18 16:00 MythicStream Dead Island 2 - Review Thread
Dead Island 2 is one of those rare cases in which a long-running project with developer changes ends up giving, nevertheless, a great product. We have had to wait a decade but we can say without a doubt that the wait has been worth it and that Dead Island 2 shines with its own light. If you enjoyed the first one, or even if you didn't have the chance to sink your teeth into it, Dead Island 2 becomes a must for any self-respecting lover of the genre.
Dead Island 2 is everything its predecessor shined at and much, much more. This zombie shooter from Deep Silver brings us Los Angeles like we've never seen it before, full of beautiful landscapes, celebrities to rescue, and zombies to slay.
Just like a zombie, Dead Island 2 was a project that was considered dead but was able to rise to its feet over and over again. Today, we finally have the ultimate Dead Island experience in our hands and it's a pretty decent action RPG with tons of first person melee combat.
Practice your best one-liners because Dead Island 2 will have you run toward danger and swagger down the streets of Hell-A while egging the zombies on like your favorite pulp hero. The beautiful graphics, tight combat, eccentric cast of characters, and F.L.E.S.H. system prove why the long-anticipated sequel to the beloved franchise was worth the wait.
Although simple to the point where it feels more like classic arcade games Final Fight or Gauntlet Legends than Dark Souls, the interplay between strategic (or blind) melee swings and the physical damage, physics, and gore is as impressive as it is over-the-top.
With Dead Island 2’s development history, it is a pleasant surprise to see the game release in as complete and stable of a state as it is. It ran flawlessly on Xbox Series X and looked beautiful to boot, especially its incredible new gore system. While it may not deliver the interesting stories or new concepts of its genre contemporaries, its sharp humor and satisfying combat help make up for it.
Dead Island 2 offers some of the most visceral and realistic looking first person combat around but its unfinished story and lack of challenge prevent it from reaching its potential.
Dead Island 2 continues where its predecessors left off. The new gore system adds a lot to the game, but the bottom line is that it stays true to its formula and doesn't really reinvent anything. Boring mission design is more than saved by the massive variation of enemy variants and the very fun melee fights, and fans of blunt butchery should grab it anyway. Hell-A!
Dead Island 2 is a silly, slaughter-filled take on the zombie apocalypse that is very entertaining without pushing the envelope of game design beyond the expected. HELL-A is the perfect bright setting to soak the streets in blood, and the little visual details ensure that there's always something eye-catching that grabs your attention. Some of the objectives can get repetitive and combat itself could use a little bit more variety, but considering its painfully long development time, Dead Island 2 still makes for a satisfying adventure with a good sense of humour stitching together its various generic zombie parts into something worth celebrating.
Dead Island 2 may not always make full use of its promising setting, but it may be the most fun I've had killing zombies in quite some time. The combat is deliriously fulfilling and will likely be further heightened in co-op when players can ping-pong zombies off of each other with their drop kicks or whatever other hijinks the community can come up with. It's an artful display of zombie violence and mayhem, which is an achievement in of itself given how saturated this genre is this many years after the first Dead Island.
Dead Island 2's troubled development has led to a satisfying and gruesome visit to Los Angeles. What you get is an impressive follow-up that plays great and offers up a ton of fun as you explore the mansions of Beverly Hills to the boardwalk at Venice Beach.
Refreshingly brainless and made with a lot of heart, Dead Island 2's repetitive quest design and disappointing conclusion don't stop it from being a whale of a time.
If you’re just looking for brainless fun, Dead Island 2 is a perfectly enjoyable zombie game that’s filled to the brim with delicious gore and top-notch environmental storytelling. It just never quite lives up to the strength of its allegorical premise, with a generic narrative and repetitive missions that I was shambling through by the end.
After such a bumpy road, it’s wonderful that Dead Island 2 has arrived in such a commendable state. This is a game you can pick up and play and get exactly what you came for. Good ol’ fashioned zombie chaos with personality and an ambition to get it all right. And what more can you want after all these years?
A perfectly serviceable zombie slayer, Dead Island 2 probably won't change the minds of anyone uninterested in looter shooters or zombie games. But for fans of dismembering the dead, or of randomly generated and customizable loot, there's a lot to like in Dambuster Studios' undead-filled Hell-A.
A straightforwardly accomplished zombie action-RPG that doesn't quite make the most of its Californian setting.
That's the feeling that lingers in the end. The dismemberment system is fun; The combat works, even if it becomes repetitive. If played in cooperative mode, it's funnier. For the rest, Dead Island 2 doesn't have much to offer. History is disposable. The map and exploration design is old-fashioned. Technically, it's not a current-generation game. I give credit to Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver for making the effort to finish the game, but for a title that was almost 9 years in development, more was expected. If you like zombies, it can be interesting in an eventual price drop.
Dead Island 2 arrives with its launch with a few too many issues, although the experience is still able to offer players twenty hours of brutal pleasure, especially in co-op.
Dead Island 2 knows exactly what it wants to be, and it goes for the jugular with extreme melee combat and dismembering slow-motion finishing moves.
At times refreshingly simple and at others mind-numbingly generic, Dead Island 2 offers up no-frills zombie-clobbering both for better and worse.
Quote not yet available
Dead Island 2 could have been the Return of the Living Dead of zombie video games, making for an irreverent, B-movie romp through an undead-filled LA, but it just ends up marginally better than the original game without ever approaching its full potential.
The improved combat is the game's main saving grace, but it isn't enough to redeem the shallow progression mechanics, inconsistent tone, and unfocused story.
Dead Island 2 straddles the line between these wins and its demonstrable failures.
With Dead Island 2, Dambuster Studios asks little of the player – only that you enjoy a good excuse to kill zombies in increasingly gory ways for a weekend or two – and in doing so, it delivers on the promise of what this series is all about.
Dead Island 2 offers plenty of over-the-top zombie-killing fun, especially in co-op, but it's dragged down by serious technical problems.
A fun but not relaxing trip to the fancy parts of L.A, Dead Island 2 is a major improvement over the previous franchise entries, with accurate goriness for the player's situation.
Despite the chaos of development, Dead Island 2 offers exaggerated and satisfying zombie action with a lot of blood and guts.
If you'd buy a summer home in the zombpocalypse, Dead Island 2 is for you. For anyone else, it's more complicated than that.
Dambuster Studios raises the dead in a vicious sequel long thought doomed.
Dead Island 2 is a pleasant game, but far from being memorable. It is as often fun as it is boring. The average quests don't fully engage us and the game fails to make us want to explore. Fortunately, the second part of the game is better, both in terms of level design and scenario. Too bad the ending is disappointing.
Dead Island 2 is a satisfying, perpetual cycle of gory combat, and its sunny surroundings are just inviting enough to keep that momentum going.
Enjoying Dead Island 2 requires you to accept it's 95% hitting zombies with sticks – and the remaining 5% is choosing the stick
Dead Island 2 isn't ground-breaking, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. With its vibrant yet bloody take on the undead streets of LA, its brutal and enjoyable combat, and its gleeful excess of gore, it delivers a solid experience that's well worth your time.
Though not without its flaws Dead Island 2 has succeeded in providing a fun and unique zombie slaying experience that will leave players highly satisfied.
Overall, Dead Island 2 knows exactly what it is under the skin’s surface. An action RPG that is all about explosive combat with some sprinkling of worthwhile exploration, and the realisation of zombie destruction on a scale unlike anything seen before. Just check your expectations of too involved a story and overlook the routine, and you might just agree that the series is back with some newfound vigour, unlike the many undead players will leave in their destructive wake.
Dead Island 2 surprisingly becomes a great sequel. Brutal action, extreme violence and above all, a lot of fun awaits us in the new Dambuster's title.
Dead Island 2 is the best way to smash zombies but the game’s shallow mechanics and short story feel like a let down after 10 years of waiting.
Tedium is at a premium in Dead Island 2, but miraculously it has enough exuberance within its limb-carving gameplay to avoid falling into the damning pit of mediocrity. There’s plenty here to savour, both in solo and co-operative play too, so you aren’t without things to do. And the modifications, card system, and special skills of each playable character all go far in Dead Island 2’s favour. Yes, it can be a slog, and yes, it does outstay its welcome, but it can also be pretty badass, too. So if you can forgive a litany of eye-rolling modern triple-A videogame trappings, Dead Island 2 can be a zombie-squelching good time.
Dead Island 2 is a hilarious gore-fest and a competent zombie-slaying adventure, but lacks creativity outside of its great sense of humor.
Dead Island 2 is a classic zombie-themed action game that offers hours of fun in its amusing brutality, with thousands of undead to slay in the most creative ways and a collection of weapons suitable for every need. However, the lack of originality limits the potential of a gaming experience that doesn't shine in terms of story and mission variety. Fighting zombies from Beverly Hills to Santa Monica is still satisfying, but after almost ten years of waiting for Dead Island 2 we would have expected something more than an action game that does its duty and nothing more.
Dambuster manages to improve on the formula with a zombie smasher who does everything very well.
While many games that are released after a long period of anticipation can be met with doubt, Dead Island 2 defies this trend with maintaining its franchise identity and core game design. However, certain aspect that are not user-friendly and the exhaustion from combat may prevent players from continuous gameplay.
[Despite its repetition] Dead Island 2 was for the most part fun to play. And that's all you really need for a game like this. We need the opposite of survival horror zombie games and Dead Island 2 provides that experience. You can just let loose, and beat up zombies to your hearts' content. Because sometimes, it's fun just to enjoy some mindless chaos without having to worry about conserving ammo or saving up resources for a rainy day situation.
Through its skillful environmental design and indulgent combat, Dead Island 2 is one of the best, most disgusting playgrounds I’ve ever played in.
Due to its time on Development Hell, is kind of a miracle that Dead Island 2 came out. That being said, the game feels okay-ish, is better that you thought it could be (specially due to Dambuster's track record) but still fell short of expectations. If you enjoyed the original games you'll have a good time, otherwise it can be a quite forgettable experience.
The addictive blend of over-the-top action, intense combat, beautiful and diverse surroundings, and the need to satisfy my curiosity in experiencing everything Hell-A had to offer kept me well entertained.
Dead Island 2 is a serviceable zombie action game that improves many components of the first title and delivers an enjoyable time when given a chance. However, it doesn't innovate, is highly formulaic, and ticks off every feature to a fault. Your enjoyment will really depend on what you're looking for, and there's no truer example than Dead Island 2.
Dambuster Studios did a good job revitalizing Dead Island 2, which has fallen into development hell over the past years. This has to be pointed out, and with such a troubled history, it's a massive feat to finally be able to bring this out and release it to the gaming public.
Dead Island 2 is hampered by dull design choices, repetitive combat, and a painfully weak story, with its only saving grace being its great performance on PC.
There's a lot of fun to be had slaying zombies on the streets and beaches of HELL-A, but if that first bite doesn't infect you, you might find – like the protagonist – that your experience gets stronger as you play.
Dead Island 2 overcame years of development problems to deliver a fun zombie story with some personality. It doesn't try to go much beyond the basics, but it does it honestly and competently, with good hints of humor and a great co-op experience.
Dambuster Studios has come in and created a highly entertaining cavalcade of carnage with Dead Island 2. It's a game that takes great joy in the simple act of smashing, splatting, and slicing the undead into meaty chunks and I'm very much here for that.
There’s an overwhelming fakeness and irony to Dead Island 2 that, without any oppositional hope or sincerity, can eventually make the experience of playing it feel like kind of a downer, similar to the feeling you get after eating a load of junk food. My partner turned to me during one of my sessions late into the game and said it looked like I was on autopilot. Instead of meaningfully engaging with its systems, I was mindlessly pushing through the hordes in search of more complexity, or a satisfying narrative crescendo that never came. Dead Island 2’s nostalgic charms can transport you back to a simpler time, but there’s often a reason why you don’t see old friends anymore.
Dead Island 2 is a sum much greater than its parts. By rights, a game with gameplay roots and mechanics harkening back over 10 years shouldn't be this much fun in 2023, but it is.
Dead Island 2 stands firmly besides its predecessor as only a marginal improvement. While there something to be recognised in the flexible skill system and satisfying dismemberment effects, Dead Island 2's lack of objective variety and uninteresting playable characters fall short of its potential. There's still some fun to be had for zombie fans, just don't expect a reinvention by any means.
In the end, though, Dead Island 2 is a refreshing surprise amid the 2023 release roster. It's a fun and simple zombie-slasher experience that may be let down by its uninspiring RPG elements and boring loot-cycle, but more than makes up for it with its killer setting, brutal melee combat, and stunning graphics. While we suspect some will be disappointed by the game's size after all these years, we found it utterly revitalising to find a AAA experience that respects your time, and more importantly doesn't overstay its welcome. In the day and age of 300-hour RPGs, it's nice to know that some games are here for a fun time, not a long time.
Dead Island 2 doesn't pretend to be anything other than a daft, messy romp through undead LA, and this carefree, capricious attitude is precisely what makes it fun.
Dead Island 2 departs from the original setting of an island and takes place in a zombie-infested Los Angeles. The game now offers a semi-open world, featuring satisfying combat mechanics, a vast array of upgradable weapons, and intense battles against hordes of zombies.
Moments of brilliance marred too often by frustrating and/or boring gameplay. Only recommended in co-op and then barely.
Overall, Dead Island 2 proves itself to be a totally fleshed out, fully realized version of what Dead Island can be with modern mechanics and gameplay.
As the credits rolled I didn’t feel satisfied or accomplished at all, which is pretty messed up considering how much of a feat completing a 20-plus hour video game is for an adult these days.
Despite the significant improvements in mechanics and aesthetics, it is clear that Deep Silver stuck to the same formula. The same dark comedy with a not-so-serious plot can now be boring for veterans, but it can provide hours of fun to those new to the series. However, ten years is too lengthy for game development, and the same approach may be stale for others now, given that nothing much has improved with some elements in the game.
Dead Island 2 it's a hell of a surprise, considering the long and difficult development cycle: it's fun, it's deep and has a lot of content, and the FLESH system is a great idea. A successful reboot for the people at Dambuster Studios.
There’s little motivation to slog through extremely same-y missions and side quests. It’s this general feeling that permeates throughout Dead Island 2; what’s on offer isn’t broken or flagrantly bad (with the exception of the checkpointing system), but it is tired, antiquated and bland.
Dead Island 2 manages to pull off an incredibly fun experience, and delivers on some of the missed promise of the first title. That said, there's not much here beyond hyper-active zombie slaying, so if that's not your bag you probably wont enjoy it.
Dead Island 2 does a great job of reanimating this dormant zombie-battling series, with the gore-filled combat and excessive weaponry that goes well with the oversaturated LA setting. It's an enjoyable romp, but at the same time, ironically feels like it's playing it safe.
Just playing Dead Island 2 in 2023 feels like a minor miracle after such a protracted production cycle. Nevertheless, the novelty of finally experiencing this long-in-development sequel wears off pretty quickly. Then all that remains is a hugely repetitive experience punctuated by hackneyed story beats.
Dead Island 2 failed to stand out as the original game did since there are now a good amount of zombie-themed titles that are more than capable of scratching this particular itch. It feels so late in the game that other games like it have evolved and experimented with different concepts while this series is still trying to get back on its feet.
Was Dead Island 2 worth the wait? Hell yes! The sheer carnage you can cause on the streets of LA is marvellous to witness, and with Dambuster's attention to detail, uncovering hidden caches of weapons, meeting the colourful variety of survivors around the city, and hanging with friends is a ton of fun.
Dead Island 2 is a huge return for the series. Fans of the first game will find much more to enjoy than just their nostalgia in this new title, and I can see a whole new generation of gamers falling in love with zombie-chopping in Hell-A.
Dead Island 2 is absolutely the game I have pictured. If only more sequels could be this expertly made.
Dead Island 2 is every bit the head-stomping blast that it promised to be. There are a few creases that Dambuster ought to iron out over the coming weeks, but if you’re hoping for mindless chaos and exceptional entertainment across the grindhouse slaughterhouse that is HELL-A, you’ve got it in spades right here.
For being a game that has been in development hell for over ten years, Dead Island 2 turned out alright, thanks to the wacky atmosphere and characters, fun combat, and acceptable quest quality. All of these features, however, become progressively worse as the campaign proceeds, making the game nothing more than an acceptable experience that may not be worthy of its full price tag for those looking for something a bit more involving.
It’s not necessarily a failure on Deep Silver’s and Dambuster Studios' part, but Dead Island 2 simply doesn’t feel like a game worthy of a decade-long wait. It maintains all of the elements that made the first few games popular and expands on several in fun and interesting ways but does far too little to separate itself from the titles that came before it.
Dead Island 2 is every bit the gory zombie slasher it wants to be. But as enjoyable and solid as it is, issues with repetition and the gameplay loop stop it from being the game it perhaps could have been.
A California scream, Dead Island 2 finally crosses the finish line after nine years as an accomplished and deliriously fun first-person zombie mash 'em up. The stomach-churning gore might not be for everyone, but fans of body horror and viscera will be well-served here.
Dead Island 2 is fantastic. It knows what it is, and that’s a ton of sneakily smart dumb fun. The FLESH system is horrific and awful and the best. Smashing, chopping, burning, and exploding humans has never been so fun. At $70 some may want to wait as it isn’t the longest campaign. I’m already doing a second playthrough though, and this is a game I’ll be coming back to for a long time.
