Aside from a couple of odd glitches, I found the game to be in a fairly polished state. Riptide seems to address the first of these issues fairly well. If you paid thousands of dollars to fix a baseball bat, you'll recall the sort of thing I mean. Then there was the mad lack of logic with regards to anything in the game systems. It was riddled with broken things, some of which were patched up later, but many of which were left hanging out, like the intestines of an unfortunate tourist. The issues with the original game came along two lines: firstly there were the bugs. Techland's Chrome engine handles it all with some fancy visuals, too. While there are issues with all aspects of that, as a loose skeleton for a game, it's a broad and handsome one. There are plenty of commendable notions in there, giving us the kind of game that we've come to demand over the years: a great big open-world structure, broken up into various levels, upgradeable equipment, lots of melee-heavy work, exploration, gathering of all kinds of junk to survive, and a mix of linear mission stuff with the general open-ended questing of the rest of the game. I had a lot of fun with the original Dead Island, even though the entire thing was clearly ridiculous, and did little to shore up its own credibility. After the obligatory linear tutorial bit, which is set on a sinking ship this time, you head off into a tropical paradise full of reanimated rotting cadavers. It gives you another character (and the characters from the original), and plays out the whole silly drama again on the next-door island.
Hmm.ĭead Island: Riptide is some more Dead Island. Yes, Dead Island was an absolute smash hit, because everyone wants an open-world zombie survival game. Dead Island: Riptide isn't just one of the most tastefully marketed games of 2013, it's also the semi-sequel to one of the best-selling games of the last couple of years.
