Unfortunately, though, that’s all Dead Island: Riptide was designed to do. The thought of carrying on that same adventure from where we left off was definitely one that many were excited about.

Waking up, it soon becomes apparent that the zombie outbreak isn’t tied down to the island of Banoi after all, and with the ship quickly overrun and on a crash course into the island of Palanai, slightly further down the archipelago, the group are once more pitted into a fight for their lives against the flesh eating zombie hordes upon an exotic getaway island.įor many the original Dead Island was a fantastic experience and whilst it may not have delivered everything it promised within the initial trailers – something that has become common practice over the years – the overall experience was certainly a memorable one. After landing on a military ship, having not long escaped the prison island, the group are immediately detained by the Australian Defence Force. The game takes place immediately after the ending of the original, with the four immune survivors – ex-American football player Logan Carter, rapper Sam B, undercover Chinese spy Xian Mei, and ex-police officer Purna – all back in for the journey, along with international terrorist Charon and island native Yerema.
