Dead Island Definitive Collection brings together in a remastered way the two zombie games by Techland and a short retro minigame. Its graphics are astonishing and its duration surpasses 15 hours in each game. However, there are still some bugs that haven’t been fixed yet and are really annoying.

Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide land on PC, PS4 and XBO, matched with the readjustments made by improving the technical component. The high definition new look of the game is supported by Chrome Engine’s latest version, which enhances the wonderful setting made by Techland.

Dead Island Definitive Edition improves some visual elements, and offers 40 hours of Action, RPG and Open World experience. But Riptide is still a poor and repetitive sequel.

Though the visuals sparkle and small improvements have been made, overall Dead Island Definitive Edition isn’t different enough from the original to be worth a purchase. In fact, it seems worse in some ways. Only give it a buy if the arena mode sounds appealing, or if you want to show off how powerful your new graphics card is.

Everything that was good in the original Dead Island and Riptide (like the combat system and the co-op) is still good in the new versions remastered with the Dying Light engine. Unfortunately everything that was bad (like the writing and repetitiveness) is still bad. [08/2016, p.59]

The only real disappointment in the new package is Retro Revenge for being a boring endless runner rather than the arcade beat-em-up the advertising suggested. It may be a pretty mindless package overall, but it’s not completely without brains.

Fairly common remaster of a quite unusual first-person zombie fighter game, which includes all the patches, DLCs and add-ons, including Dead Island: Riptide. Small bonus is a classic arcade fighter game; however typical fans of 3D action games probably won't be pleased.
