Who has the Most "Guts", Dead Island 2 or Dying Light 2 Stay Human?

There's no doubt that anyone with a slight interest in zombie games is playing Dead Island 2 right now. With the selling point for Dead Island 2 being the F.L.E.S.H (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids) system - lets the player perform involuntary reconstructive surgery on the undead, who wouldn't be playing.

But did you know Dying Light 2 Stay Human released an update around the time of release that turned the decapitations and dismemberments up to what it was back in Dying Light? As both games are filled with zombies, 'bloody' good to play, and franchises at one point were developed by Techland, there's enough to compare the two. However, in light of the upgrade and release of the long awaited Dead Island 2, it would be fair to compare the gore in both titles. You might need to wear a poncho to read this, hombre.

Look who's walking dead, now?!

You can't talk about zombie gore from both contenders without mentioning how they look in general. Modern day depictions of the shambling undead are corroded beings with pale skin, bloodshot eyes and part of their bodies missing. The zombies from both titles take inspiration from the current concepts and have led them in different directions.
