    The original was no exemplar of fun gameplay and this "Definitive Edition" is no better. In fact it somehow manages to be worse because they altered some things that made the original at least tolerable, so it ends up being even worse somehow. If they'd just left it at porting it with literally no changes then I'd at least understand that, but Deep Silver seemed determined to outdoThe original was no exemplar of fun gameplay and this "Definitive Edition" is no better.

I'm only glad I got this trash for 5 bucks instead of the insane 30 they'd normally ask for.… Expand

    This was my absolute favorite game (till dying light)! I have to say with the new release for the PS4 I was excited to play again as my xbox is very old. I noticed some small changes, graphics are much better, but the main thing is I can't believe they changed my favorite weapon from a "kick@#$ home run baseball bat" that makes the zombies fly, to something that barely moves them andThis was my absolute favorite game (till dying light)!

I kid you not, that weapon......made the game for me.… Expand

    A download code for Riptide - really? My internet connection is pathetic so downloading this game is not an option for me so I paid for one game technically speaking. Not impressed deep silver because you should have included 2 discs instead of one if space was an issue. Lame lame lame.

    It’s fun killing the zombies for a while. That’s it that’s literally the only positive in these incredibly boring games, I have never played a game with this many fetch quests and escort missions in my life this makes Ubisoft games bearable.

You genuinely get a fetch quest and when you go to the objective you have to do another fetch quest before getting the item for the initial fetch quest you were given and after you’ve finished you’ll be told to help the others around the base while something is being made and the characters around the base will give you more fetch quests. Once you’ve finished them then you’ll go back to the initial character and they give you an escort mission that literally leads to another fetch quest. **** THESE GAMES.… Expand

    Bad port of a bad game. Just go and play dying light and don't waste your time in this piece of crap. Full of fetch quest, no story, Horrible Hit detection, bland gameplay. Broken controls

    P.S. Так как на Metacritic отсутствует страница с просто оригиналом в "Расширенной" версии (не включая Riptide), то выкачу свое мнение здесь, к тому же все перечисленные тезисы будут в принципе касаться обеих игр.

    Худшее что могло случиться с отличной игрой- это ее бездарное переиздание с отключением возможности покупки оригинала. Графически Dead Island был на высоте для своих лет (беря во внимание длительность разработки все таки), но данное поделие возводит в абсолют всё худшее дерьмо которым могут быть напичканы подобные "ремастеры". Похерить весь графен бездарно безвкусной выкруткой света и цветовой гаммы на максимум так что бы игра десятилетней давности лагала на системах современного уровня ≠ поменять торговую марку на DeFiNiTiVe Edition и продавать этот отстойный мусор по цене вдвое превышающей оригинал. Если вы считаете что на этом все ключевые изменения заканчиваются, то вы не ошибетесь. Серьезно. Обычную версию легально ныне практически не достать из-за пары графических изменений которые превращают игру в кусок хуйни.
    Единственное, что ее спасает и позволяет мне накинуть пару баллов- это факт того, что я играл в коопе. На пару с товарищем, за общим весельем и попыткой получать кое-какое удовольствие от игрового процесса пытаешься не замечать весь пиздец происходящего. Гнусный кал; Оценка: 4.    … Expand

    A fairly ordinary graphic remaster of the rather unusual first-person zombie slasher, which includes all patches, DLC and additions, including Dead Island: Riptide. A small bonus is a classic-style arcade slasher, but it won't really excite ordinary fans of 3D action games.

    Very disappointed with this game, I had very high expectations, but it turned out to be very repetitive and very careless, bugs (which can be good and funny and sometimes it **** you) the graphics more or less to be a definitive edition, the story is typical of generic zombie game, repetitive fighting mechanics, the only redeeming thing is its Tree Skill System and its wide and vast mapVery disappointed with this game, I had very high expectations, but it turned out to be very repetitive and very careless, bugs (which can be good and funny and sometimes it **** you) the graphics more or less to be a definitive edition, the story is typical of generic zombie game, repetitive fighting mechanics, the only redeeming thing is its Tree Skill System and its wide and vast map full of zombies.… Expand

    Do the right thing and get spiritual sequel Dying Light, plus all its DLC, instead. [September 2016, p75]

    A competent collection which vastly improves the two Dead Island games included, adding a third game which can be fun in short bursts. Both Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide never looked better, with a slew of technical enhancements and solid performance which makes revisiting both titles quite enjoyable. Most the gameplay issues, however, haven't been addressed, so those who couldn't stand the original releases won't change their opinions with the remastered releases. Solid games, for sure, but not for everyone.
