    Just beat escape from dead island. It's INSANE. And a total **** The gameplay was pretty good for a budget title as were the cell shadedJust beat escape from dead island. It's INSANE. And a total **** The gameplay was pretty good for a budget title as were the cell shaded graphics. Isn't like other dead island games and is more linear but the main star of the game is insanity. The protagonist cliff's mind cracks and shatters by the end of the game. So much crazy **** will happen he will see things, hallucinate to the point where his environment changes, and more. The sanity sections are the best part of the game and again it's a budget title and the gameplay can be mediocre at times but I really enjoyed it. The insanity based story atleast deserves a rent to be experienced because cliff is absolutely crazy! 8/10 not a must buy and most ppl aren't gonna mess with it but the story and insanity moments could suprise you like they did me… Full Review »

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 shooting action is tight. Level design are great.

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

    This Indie, borderland wannabe was the worst game played ever. Due to the fact that i like zombie survival. This game is absolutely slowThis Indie, borderland wannabe was the worst game played ever. Due to the fact that i like zombie survival. This game is absolutely slow paced and frustrating, (allthough i beat it). I was expecting it to be longer and as well as a leveling up kind of stuff like the other dead island series before. All those twist and side stuff inputed in this game was sure just plain stupid. I tried to like it, but the overall experience just got to me. Expecting way more in these new gen era of games. This is a game that i would play on a PS1. Obviously someone didnt do their market research.… Full Review »
