    Stop with the Dead Island games already. They have now been done to death (no pun intended). Graphically... you are not the 'Walking Dead' Telltale series.

    I enjoyed No. 1, I loathed No. 2 and this....

    Must...finish... review...

    zzzzzzzzzzz.

    I love Dead Island brand, but what the f**k is this???
    the story is simple, the onoric parts are very boring and disturbing,why there isn't the level? In definitive:
    -You can't upgrade yourself. -You can't level up. -zombies copied by Left 4 Dead. -you can't craft weapons. -Last but not least, this game isn't fun. the only thing that i have appreciate is the good cel shading    I love Dead Island brand, but what the f**k is this???

    Fun game. Something different and somewhat original. Old school graphics, stealth and action gameplay, nice story. Would recommend. Good buy for the price.

    Much better than the review make it look. I expected playing some crap and quitting after 15min based on reviews, but ended up completing it and having a blast doing so. Story is interesting, there's no dead moments, it always keep going and adding new stuff and fckeup events. I would even say presentation of the story is better than the Dead Island game. Gameplay is fast and shootingMuch better than the review make it look. I expected playing some crap and quitting after 15min based on reviews, but ended up completing it and having a blast doing so.

    Not worth a 10, but I'm balancing for these whining kids who don't know what's good and what's not.    … Expand

    Hmm, Well dont buy this.
    doesn't feel like a traditional Dead Island game...Obviously.
    Cheesy jokes, boring gameplay, and just utterly stupid design ideas.
    The only thing I really like about this game is the cel-shading.

    UTTER GARBAGE. I will not preorder any Dead Island game after this pile of sh*t. Deep Silver advertised the crap out of it on Facebook until it released and then completely ignored that they released such a horrible "game." DO NOT BUY. Even if it's a $2 game, don't get it on principle. F*ck that Fatshark "development" team.

    I love first dead island, but this game isn't good at all. It looks like they spent 3 hours to create this game, it is so boring. You cant do anything here. Waste of my time.

    Escape Dead Island is a very poor quality game, with so many flaws and bad design choices.

    Escape Dead Island was almost a good experience, there was just six hours of terrible gameplay holding it back.

    Wading through all that offal to get to the mildly interesting stuff is hardly time well spent. [Jan 2015, p.86]
