    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.

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. Full Review »
