Dead Island Definitive Edition Reviews

Sick storyline. Gonna try dead island 2 next

I would only recommend this game if you have a friend to do it with you. Dead Island is Borderlands-esque type game where there is a main story with side quests that happen through different environments with online co-op with 1-4 people. The game has great melee combat, where you can customise weapons with different mods you find throughout the world or quest rewards. You have four characters you can choose from, each specialising in a different type of weapon; gun, blunt weapons, sharp weapons and throwable knives. The story is there but it's bad. You have no reason to care about any characters and when you're suppose to, it doesn't feel impactful at all. The first area is a great introduction to the game but the problems with the game get exasperated once you enter the city. Fetch quests start to get tiresome with all the backtracking in the city, because there is just so many zombies. We decided to just focus on the main story from there on. This is originally a game from 2011, it's going to be rough in some ways. The melee combat is the most enjoyable aspect of the game and the online co-op means you have a friend to play with. I'm only recommending it because it was mostly enjoyable but it does have many shortcomings.

I played this game when I was much younger, and I loved it. got it again now 6 years later after trying dead island 2, and I am thrilled to say that this game is still the beautiful gem that it was when I first played it.

I had some fun with this. Definitely above average and worth it on a deep sale.

I first played this game a few years ago with my older brother, but kept getting killed by the infected and the suiciders (skill issue I know) I also played this with a friend a few years ago, but unfortunately kept blowing him up by accident (I swear it wasn't on purpose, M!) The game is still fun to play, but you really have to look out for the thugs, suiciders, floaters (lol floaters) and the infected because they'll put your right on your backside. I also somewhat freaked myself out by wearing headphones during my game play and thought there were zombies all around me, hence I went a little crazy and accidentally fell off a few ledges to my untimely death. 10/10 would play again (minus blowing friends up and falling off ledges).

Must play for anyone that likes zombie games. This one was an instant classic when it dropped and has withstood the test of time. Also much, much, much better than dead island 2. MUCH better.

Good graphics, well optimized. Fun with friends. Combat a bit simple right now but still enjoyable. Quest mechanics a mmo like.

The game starts really good, the resort, beaches and zombies makes an unique combination but it gets boring with time. They could have made the NPC interactions more alive, they all have the same animations when talking, just as a Fallout's NPCs. What I hate most are the zombies that throw melee weapons at you with crazy accuracy, they come from nowhere and can one shot kill you and the fireams have an auto-aim that causes more problem than help and can't be disabled, it's very irritating. This is the kind of game that I would finish and never play again.

i love playing this game with my girlfriend!!! she is so awesome and funny and cool and smart and sweet and kind and beautiful!!!! oh yeah this games alright i guess

Best birthday gift of last year. It's very enterteining to go around the island, killing everything that's moving and leveling. I recommend it a lot.
