There are no words i could say to express how brilliant this game is...

From the foundation of the mechanics to the music and story, i was hooked and interested in every secret and story fragment i could find. This isnt just a journey through a spooky game, but a story about a man trying to rebuild his broken self and have the confidence to stand up. You really are trying to become in sound mind.

10/10 would reccomend this to anyone just for the experience alone.

I will now sit in my chair just finishing this, and contemplate life... depressed that there is no more to play, and yet there is so much i have both lost and gained...

Look the game is simple in almost every way similar to its previous titles

However sometimes no added complexity is a good thing, while this game doesn't do anything crazy or complicated it exceeds what it already has to a polished point of perfection. Customisation feels rewarding and so does exploration due to blueprints and special weapons being tied to quests or collectables and build variety is quite simple but unique enough for players to create their own playstyle around their favourite slayer.

The story itself is pretty basic but for what it is i found it to be quite enjoyable, the side quests while sometimes grindy had some pretty good rewards and i was even more engaged with some of the stories then the main quest.

DLC wise unless your a major fan of dead island games i would say its mostly just more of the same, personally i found them visually unique and enjoyable to play through however they are quite short.

Overall a really big upgrade personally to me compared to riptide so i do hope that they continue the saga and we hopefully get to explore more locations within the world of dead island in a new game. 8/10.
