It would be a little over-the-top to declare Dead Island: Riptide an underrated gem, but at the low cost of $0, it’s very much worth adding to your Steam library and makes for a perfect time-waster. However, even with these tweaks, you won’t mistake this for a brand-new game. Steam is also giving away the Definitive Edition of Dead Island: Riptide, this suped-up version includes all of the game’s DLC, as well as improved visuals over the original release. The entire game can be played with up to four players in co-op, and the island of Palanai is reasonably sizeable, giving you plenty of side objectives to complete off the beaten path. Played in single-player, the cheap thrills likely won’t grip you for long, but bring a friend (or three) along for the ride and Dead Island: Riptide becomes a whole lot more enjoyable. You can even craft special weapons for extra damage. You’ll spend most of your time clubbing zombies into a blood pulp using everything from a baseball bat to a sizeable piece of timber. While you can find firearms and projectile weaponry, ammo is very limited. Of course, the tropical paradise has been overrun with brain-hungry undead zombies, so along the way, you’ll have to fend off these walkers using whatever weapons you can find.ĭead Island: Riptide places a big focus on melee combat. Picking up where its predecessor left off, you select from a quintet of survivors, and after enduring a shipwreck must venture onto the fictional Palanai Island in the hopes of finding recuse and enough resources to stay alive. Yes, it’s far from a visually impressive game - even in 2013 its graphics were muddy and bland - and the questionable story and character dialogue haven’t gotten any better with time, but if you’re looking for some mindless fun, then Dead Island: Riptide offers it up in spades.
