Speaking of which that’s a great way to introduce another, glaring problem, with Dead Island Riptide, and that is the gameplay. This is when the shroud of promises begins to lift and you realize that there's more that went unaltered or even worse, gone backwards. This is disappointing given that lessons should have been learned from the original release. While the premise of the story offers potential, the execution and delivery of the story offer very little in terms of support. An incident occurs aboard the ship and you end up wrecking onto the island of Palanai and now the stage is set for another round of gory zombie killing in paradise, Jimmy Buffet be dammed. During this time on board you are greeted by a man named Serpo who would be considered your initial cliché corporate bad guy and with clouded intentions. The story begins right when the original game ends and the original immune survivors think they find refuge aboard a naval aircraft carrier, but instead they are now joined by a new character that also appears to be immune to the viral outbreak. Granted the whole premise of Dead Island Riptide is to explore a vast, beautiful island so technically you could pour many hours into exploration before starting off on the main quest, but in the end, you just can't escape the thin veil of what is supposed to pass for a plot.

In Dead Island Riptide, not only are the plot holes bigger in size with less development, but the story plods along at a snail's pace. To say the story of Dead Island was less than stellar would be a gentle way of putting it, and the main reason for that are the shallow plot development and the speed of the story itself. Unfortunately though, you would be mistaken. You would think that the whole idea of a sequel was to improve upon the faults from before so they no longer exist and develop new ways to improve the enjoyment of gameplay from the first to the second game. What apparently got missed by the people at Techland is the whole 'proper execution' part because Dead Island Riptide suffers from the same faults as the original and adds a lot more to the mix. This recipe gives a great foundation for a good game and with the proper execution will deliver a fantastic game. Does Dead Island Riptide survive the outbreak, or does it succumb to the mindless cannibalism of the undead? Let's find out.įor those who have missed out on the original Dead Island, Riptide offers up a gory, survival horror game with various RPG elements scattered about to give what would normally be a very shallow game, some much needed depth. If you approach this game as a direct sequel to the original Dead Island and with a bunch of new innovations that breathe life back into the undead, think again. Before we begin hacking our way through Dead Island Riptide, we have to forewarn that the game that was released promised much in the beginning, but then in the end became like an old marriage, where there are many faults, yet you still find enjoyment after all this time.

Would you pay full retail price for what could arguably be considered a massive DLC pack from an already released title? Apparently Deep Silver and Techland think you will.
