The thought of carrying on that same adventure from where we left off was definitely one that many were excited about. Unfortunately, though, that’s all Dead Island: Riptide was designed to do. Sure, it had some praiseworthy features, with one in particular seeing players able to carry on with their levelled character data from the original, meaning all upgrades and effort put in wasn’t lost and enemies would be more difficult, but that wasn’t enough to hide the fact that Dead Island: Riptide was simply the same game in a different location.
With no new content to speak of, besides a couple of extra characters, the new locale and some minimal additions such as boats to drive, Riptide was seen as a game that would have been better released as a sizeable DLC expansion rather than an entirely new experience. What made things worse was the fact that despite releasing two years after the original, many of the bugs and issues that were present in the original all returned with Dead Island: Riptide with almost no changes made whatsoever. Of course, it didn’t take long for many to come to the assumption that developer Techland had simply created a copy and paste of the original for Dead Island: Riptide, rather than put in any real effort towards creating a decent sequel. If you’re someone who enjoyed the original though and simply wanted more of the same gameplay then Riptide was definitely the way to go, with some rather stunning visuals – for the time – and plenty of hours of content to get stuck in to should you wish to finish off every last quest, there were many who persevered with the issues.ĥ years on though and things are a bit different. The Special Edition includes a digital strategy map, the Survivor Pack (BBQ Blade weapon mod, XP/stats booster, and shop discount) and Fashion Victim DLC.If you were to head back to the Xbox 360 version of Dead Island: Riptide nowadays, you’d certainly be disappointed.
