My favorite part of the game is probably the loot and the weapon mods. There are also events that occur on the island as well and usually involve saving other survivors from zombie hoards.

Seriously, you can be on your way to complete one side mission and pick up three to five more along the way. Do you like side quests in RPG's? Well you will love Dead Island because there are side quests galore and a lot of them you can find just wandering around the island. Right as the game gets going, you are able to head out on the island and start tour journey and will get a lengthy number of quests to complete right from the start. Of course said characters aren't locked to those types of weapons as you will find a wide variety of zombie slaying items on the island including knives, baseball bats, wooden planks, canoe paddles, hammers, molotov cocktails, guns, wooden sticks and much much more. Logan is skilled in throwing weapons, Purna is skilled in firearms, Xing Mei is skilled in sharp weapons and Sam B is skilled in blunt weapons. When it comes to these re-releases I normally don't notice much of a difference, but the great part of Dead Island Definitive Edition is that most of the issues that did plague the original games have been fixed and it's better than ever.įor those who have never played Dead Island before, it's an open world, zombie survival RPG where you can select one of four characters each with their own skills. That said I still think that both Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide are two great open world RPG games and if there is anyone that missed out on them before, you can now enjoy them together as a definitive edition of the game is now available. I feel like most of the hate towards the game was due to the fact that it was over hyped to hell thanks to that original trailer for the game and I will admit, I can see why people were disappointed. I also saw some people praising the game as well so I was confused whether or not I should bother to check it out. I remember when Dead Island first came out, reading a ton of hate on the internet for it and with the way that people were talking about it, made it seem like it was one of the worst games ever made.

I feel like the the Dead Island games are underrated gems of the last generation of gaming. Dead Island Retro Revenge is not yet available to download and this review will be updated after it's released This is a review of Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide from the definitive edition on PS4.
