Floaters only spit slime on you half the time, and often running past a Suicider isn’t enough to trigger its self-destruction like it used to be. Even the tiniest of side quests require you to take down a roaring Thug. In terms of the hordes you encounter, the number of Thugs and Suiciders on the map seems to have been increased. Instead of bounding straight toward me and bashing my face in, they’re content to run in circles and get stuck in objects – wooden walls, boulders, flower bushes, or whatever else is close. Those yowling terrors used to strike fear into my heart, but Dead Island Definitive turned them into a joke. ![]() I thought the AI was disappointing, especially for the Infected. ![]() Instead of snapping screenshots of the beauty around me, I found myself taking them of everything that was wrong: blood spurting in nonsensical directions, severed heads floating mid-air, and zombies staring at me blankly. While this game is truly gorgeous, there seem to be just as many graphical glitches as in the original, if not more. As a result, humans and zombies alike look a lot better. The improved graphics include higher quality character models and a photorealistic lighting system. This means the Ryder White campaign is unlocked from the beginning, and a special mod called One Punch Mode with insanely aggressive hits and kicks is also available. ![]() Unfortunately, either I’m remembering my time with the original game through rose-colored glasses, or the definitive edition is a bit of a letdown.ĭead Island Definitive Edition promises a fully remastered game, complete with all previously released DLC and patches. I would say I have a soft spot for the Dead Island series in particular, so I jumped at the chance to review the new definitive collection. They don’t have to be flawless creations, but if they have an interesting story and decent weapon variety, I’ll play them and have fun with them. Zombie games are what I would consider my bread and butter.
