    Dead Island Definitive Collection brings together in a remastered way the two zombie games by Techland and a short retro minigame. Its graphics are astonishing and its duration surpasses 15 hours in each game. However, there are still some bugs that haven’t been fixed yet and are really annoying.

    Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide land on PC, PS4 and XBO, matched with the readjustments made by improving the technical component. The high definition new look of the game is supported by Chrome Engine’s latest version, which enhances the wonderful setting made by Techland.

    Dead Island Definitive Edition improves some visual elements, and offers 40 hours of Action, RPG and Open World experience. But Riptide is still a poor and repetitive sequel.

    Though the visuals sparkle and small improvements have been made, overall Dead Island Definitive Edition isn’t different enough from the original to be worth a purchase. In fact, it seems worse in some ways. Only give it a buy if the arena mode sounds appealing, or if you want to show off how powerful your new graphics card is.

    Everything that was good in the original Dead Island and Riptide (like the combat system and the co-op) is still good in the new versions remastered with the Dying Light engine. Unfortunately everything that was bad (like the writing and repetitiveness) is still bad. [08/2016, p.59]

    The only real disappointment in the new package is Retro Revenge for being a boring endless runner rather than the arcade beat-em-up the advertising suggested. It may be a pretty mindless package overall, but it’s not completely without brains.

    Fairly common remaster of a quite unusual first-person zombie fighter game, which includes all the patches, DLCs and add-ons, including Dead Island: Riptide. Small bonus is a classic arcade fighter game; however typical fans of 3D action games probably won't be pleased.

Overall it's literally only decent game that Techland has managed to make. Dying Light 1 had extremely boring environment and meh story and Dying Light 2 is just an absolute joke.… Expand

It’s not better than Days Gone, but it’s way better and more fun game than Dying Light. It comes down to two factors - horror and atmosphere. Dead Island has amazing tropical island atmosphere, while Dying Light takes places in boring looking city. Also, Dead Island has actual nice horror vibe to it, while Dying Light is not scary at all. None of them are extremely scary, but Dead Island at least tried to be and in some cases, it does it well. I have a feeling people often forget that this game came out in 2011, before all the other major open world zombie games. This was one of the first real ones and for that alone deserves a lot of respect. Dying Light 2 seems to be way better than Dying Light 1 and seems to have even some horror back, but Dead Island will always be better zombie games than Dying Light 1.… Expand

I didn't feel much incentive to play more than a few hours solo, but with friends its much better. It's janky, so if you want a polished game this isn't it, but it can add to the chaotic fun. The gameplay loop can get repetitive, made worse by making you run back and forth through the same area 20 times, but still fun non the less.… Expand
