the combat system is pretty terrible and the driving is kinda stiff but still a great game

Ever since my friend found a gernade, he has been creating 100's of them and throwing it literally everywhere, even during the times when it's only one easy zombie to kill. He kills me, the zombie(s) and himself.

10/10 He also drives over me whenever I don't get in the car with him

The game is on same level as Half Life. As it is simply just fun and relax to play, and give good memory and experience.

Years ago, I had the original version from a non-legit source, and the graphics is what kept me from playing it through. I bought the Definitive version on steam a while back and I could tell a big difference in the graphics. It was much better looking, ran smoother, and had less artifacts (no V-Sync required this time around.)

I was extremely lucky I guess, as I had no major issues with this version of the game. There were some minor bugs, like a few cars disappearing after I went inside of a building (which would suck if I had supplies in the bed of a truck.) But other than that, the game played like Aces for me.

I really enjoyed the game-play and customizing melee weapons. I love the slow-down effect when you slice an infected's head off in one clean blow. The durability system (while annoying) is probably less harsh than it could be. Considering how thick some of the infected bodies are, your machete would really dull quite quickly.

I do think that the inventory space is a little too limited for all characters, considering how much junk is found EVERYWHERE. And if you return to an area you've already been to, or just do a Quick Save and then Quick Load, the items are back in the suitcases... not very realistic, but I guess it works.

I do wish there was a better mapping system when it comes to Quests and Objectives. Some quests require you to go pick up an item from the other side of the island and then return it back to this person, only to end up getting a quest from someone else who requires you to return to that same area on the other side of the island. There's a quick travel feature, but the maps required aren't as abundant as it should be considering how big both of the islands are.

The story line wasn't too bad either, although I feel like there's some plot holes they could have filled. There's also some areas that seem like they would lead to a secret cache or something, but are really just there to waste your time, or draw infected out of hiding.

The most annoying thing in the game is collecting the special Skulls to get the Legendary Developer weapons, as they require some very specific things to be accomplished in a very specific order, otherwise you will cut off access to that skull until later in the game, or possibly just lose access completely. Also, guns seems much a bit under powered once you either get the developer melee weapons, or just learn the right blueprints. Elemental Melee weapons are tïts!!!

It is also good that the infected level up as you do, so that you are always getting a semi-decent amount of experience. This is also helped by the fact that they will re-spawn once you're out of an area long enough. At first, this was also annoying, but considering how much experience you need to get to level 50 (or beyond), it makes sense.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this game and would play through it again. I recommend it, but be wary of the bugs that others are reporting. You may luck out like me, though, and have no issues at all.

Hmm great story from different sides especially Rider White's story that he will not stop at nothing to rescue his wife like he's some kind of bounty hunter like me and hunts for credits, A republic scum whom will stop at nothing to defeat the empire and their evil ways, or finally the Imperial dogs that the imperials are who does not care about findin any hope & crush our dream.

What A Mandalorian doesn't find fun in this game is that as you play Rider White's Story there is no Multiplayer option but then again if this game can't give us that then I guess "This is The Way!" & "This has & always will be The Mandalorian way!"

Anyways I'm looking forward to play this game with my friends or anyone who has this game so we can co - op & enjoy it K

Yes

Fun game to pick up and just destroy zombies lol

This game is zombie apocalypse game which i like the most because of zombie apocalypse experience of a lifetime

Гра навіть на кінець 2024 року грається дуже бадьоро й тримає інтерес до самого фіналу. Звісно, графіка дещо куца, особливо у кат-сценах, але цілком терпима, особливо якщо вас цікавить саме атмосфера, якою Dead Island може похвалитися сповна - я можу абсолютно сміливо заявити, що це абсолютно крута гра про зомбі й обов'язкова для проходження всіма любителями даного сеттингу.
Чого вартує головна музична тема гри - пісня Сема Бі, яка без перебільшень вже декілька років не покидає мого плейліста. Загальний ембієнт теж гідний, особливо у місті Морсбі - те, як на тлі гирчать зомбі, це щось з чимось - мурашки біжать шкірою. Взагалі, на мій погляд, Морсбі - найудачніша локація.
Грати, звісно, цікавіше з друзями - так ви не тільки відчуватимете напруження, а ще й весело проведете час, бо Dead Island своєю іноді дивною механікою та багами неодноразово викличе сміх до сліз. Помітно, що багато багів було виправлено, як-от зникаючий салон автівок, коли гравець не їде, а пливе у повітрі, або можливість добряче штовхнути іншого гравця ящиком чи балоном. Мені навіть шкода, що я не побачила їх під час останнього проходження.
За весь час Dead Island жодного разу не вилітав на моєму 10-річному ноутбуці, в той час як у друга на новому геймерському ноутбуці вдалося "спіймати" 4 вильоти. Окрім цього, шкода, що у грі відсутня українська локалізація, але я розумію, що Dead Island вже настільки старий, що розробники не стануть перейматися цим.
В усьому іншому, Dead Island заслуговує найвищої оцінки й досі лишається актуальною серед зомбі-ігор.
