Dead Island is a 2011 action role-playing game developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver.[6] Released for Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game is centered on the challenge of surviving a zombie-infested open world with a major emphasis on melee combat. The plot focuses on four playable survivors trying to survive and escape off the fictional island of Banoi.
The game was announced at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo,[7] but delayed until 2011. The game's cinematic announcement trailer was met with controversy over its depiction of a dead child. However reception was nonetheless positive, with praise going towards the emotional impact, animation and story, with the trailer being held as one of the best in any medium. The game was released in 2011. September for North America/Europe and in October for Japan. Despite the pre-release acclaim, the game received generally lukewarm reviews. While praised for its atmosphere, gameplay and playable characters, it was also criticized for large technical difficulties and in-game glitches, graphics and most notably being hampered for lacking the emotional themes presented in the trailer.
A standalone DLC expansion, Dead Island: Riptide, was released in 2013; a spin-off, Escape Dead Island, was released on 18 November 2014; and a sequel, Dead Island 2, was set to be released in 2015, but has since been delayed and is now slated for a release on February 3, 2023.[8] A remastered version of the game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 31 May 2016. Titled Dead Island: Definitive Collection, it bundles the game with Riptide, all DLC and a 16-bit side-scrolling game called Dead Island: Retro Revenge.

For a game released back when every game had a greyish/brownish tone to them this one aged pretty well. My favorite part was replaying it with all the special modifications on weapons, I think you could eventually craft electric katanas and stuff like that. It was rough around the edges, but fun overall.

[@frankyhorn2475]

I hadn't considered that tbh, might be part of the reason it did so well. Simple gameplay, decent online coop, goofy fun combat. And gorgeous scenery. Shame about the town and jungle though.... Town is greyish/brown and the jungle.... There's just not a lot there

[@ryman1933]

Making the high-level electric bats that make enemies go flying is easily the best part of the game that I remember.

[@hundvd_7]

Very good open world design (better than both DL games, no cap) a shockingly well balanced combat system (you can just about die from any 3+ zombie fight if you're really bad, or come out unscathed if you're good) a progression system that truly matters (a lot of meaningful skills, with a handful significantly altering gameplay) excellent weapon variety (that you _have_ try out) a large number of quests and unique, memorable locations (with 4 "biomes", 3 large maps, a dozen or so "dungeons") awesome graphics for the time (Definitive Edition still holds up mostly)

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

The real strength of Dead Island was that it was actually about zombies. The final enemy of both DI games was a unique infected. The core of the story always revolved around the infected. Every side mission, every looming threat, it was always the infected. And they didn't fail at justifying this. Butchers, Rams, Screamers, Floaters, Wrestlers, Drowners, and those unique boss Infected from Riptide and the Grenadiers, they had sooo many terrifying mutations that gave credence to the threat the infected posed. This is something I'm missing in almost every other zombie game, even Dying Light 1 and 2. The infected just aren't the real threat. They're supposed to be the terrifying presence of these games. There's something so unnatural about what was once human now so uncaring about sloshing around in its own blood, not a hint of self preservation left as it ragingly hunts other humans. It's that horrific thought of ''What if that becomes my fate?'' Dead Island was extremely effective at making you feel that without shoving it into your face just by filling these little beach houses and resorts with all manner of monstrosities. You always had the infected to fear. From the looks of it, even its sequel isn't living up to that with its jokey tone. This isn't the fucking MCU. Not everything has to be shits and giggles... I don't wanna see people acting like Duke Nukem during the zombie apocalypse. I'm afraid we're not going to see another proper zombie game like Dead Island ever again.

When this game came out, I really liked it a lot. I think that "charm" is that it just presents a lot of opportunities to roleplay and create your own fun. It's really easy to immerse yourself in Dead Island, it looks like a fun place to be. The combat is pretty fun and I really like the brutality in the combat and model art. Dying Light is better in most regards, but I don't think it replaces Dead Island.

[@PdZ2012]

Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide are still among my favorite games today. First time I played it my computer was lagging the entire time, because it couldn't handle it. I finished the game regardless, because I loved it so much. A zombie apocalypse on a tropical paradise island.

Even with Dying Light 1 and 2, Dead Island and Riptide arguably have the best zombie slaying to this day. The main problem was the floaty movement, the time it took to accelerate into one direction and stop moving once you held still. But hey, they made zombie types like the Ram, which are still better than its 2022 version, the Charger.

[@G1ggl3z]

Honestly when playing Dead Island I've gotten used to and can't play it without using the analog fighting style, it had that "what if this game had good VR" feel to it when being able to swing your weapons in different directions without that stuff looking side to side swipe when looking at your shadow with the digital fighting style.

Dying light 2 was certainly downgraded in comparison to both Dead Island and first Dying light in various ways, which is a damn shame. However Dying light 1 was most definitely an improvement after Dead Island all around besides the different setting as that is to personal preference. Gameplay and mechanically wise it never lost any guns and only improved it’s shooting aspect, had an amazing dlc “the following” which also added an improved driving and personal car which could be tuned in various ways. The map got bigger and much more detailed with dozens of different fully furnished apartments, stores, pharmacies, garages to loot and explore and they nailed the atmosphere of a recently plagued and collapsed south-eastern city filled with bandits and hundreds of undead (100+ zombies can actually be seen on screen at once multiple times in the game in certain areas like bridges and main streets). I’d say that in comparison to Dying light 2 Dead Island is superior, however the first Dying light can be called the best out of those 3 and one of the best open world zombie slashers of all time.

Bought this game for a little under £2 in the ps store sale. This is the most fun I’ve had in a zombies game in a long time. I haven’t played dying light 1 or 2, but after im done with this, i will definitely move onto those…

[@ravereviews6853]

I loved this when it came out. It did get progressively worse as the game went on though. The initial area design was amazing, the beach resort. But then it went into a town sort of area which was alright and then a jungle which in my opinion was terrible. Lile the devs just gave up. The next game Riptide seemed to all be in the jungle and just didn't catch my interest at all. In short setting is really important and I think number 2 won't skimp out on that. Fingers crossed we get an awesome brutal masterpiece

[@kennyburkamp4054]

Besides the fact I didn't find the jungle to be bad at all dead island riptide was not just jungle later half the game was a city map

This man's spitting facts 💯 👏

[@jayveeeee]

some people don't wanna hear the truth 😤 dead island is a video game damnit

[@Bigpvnk]

@@jayveeeee it's not only a video game, it's one of the video games ever 😎

The funny thing is I just started playing this a couple days ago and then I find this while watching on of your other vids

[@handsandi4653]

Was having a mini stroke watched this feel 1000x better thanks man

This truly is a great zombie basher. Superb setting as well. Even though I believe Dying Light ended up being superior, this was a great start for Techland.

[@nomercy8989]

Funny. I finally played the original Dead Island after failing to get into it in 2012 and 2013. Finished it literally an hour before this video was posted. And I have to say. Everything in this game after the Act 1 resort part is more or less the unfinished early alpha of the far superior Dying Light.

[@DirtyGeorge]

That's your opinion

[@HimothyBurton]

Loved this game when it came out. First game I ever bought when my brother bought his ps3. Had all 4 characters maxed out and was very proud of that

[@lxlKHARMAlxl]

Bro...I played this game so so much. Absolutely unmatched in atmosphere and melee visceral combat. Definitely one of the open worlds out there.

[@gri22lybear]

Dead Island is one of my Top 5 fav games, but I feel Dead Island 2 is gonna blow the first one out of the water in every aspect. Already pre-ordered the HELL-A Edition for my Series X. 🤘

[@LILMEtrip805]

I remember seeing the trailer with the family i was like "this is gonna be the best game ever" once i played it i was like "wtf is this?", but then again it was my fault for seeing a game trailer instead of actual gameplay , i was expecting a good and dark story but it was mhhhh not even scary also voice acting wasn't that great whole game just felt like a side mission even the main story felt a little flat

[@Dwight_]

You were definitely not the only one haha

[@masonfletcher1241]

Just spotted Steve Blum as Sinamoi in this. I recognized his deep voice through that accent

[@jayveeeee]

that guy is a vocal genius

Keep the content up dude! Definitely one of the KZbin creators out there!

Coop in this game is lots of fun. Played both with my wife in our potato computers and loved it

[@dekay1428]

Main things I want when combating zombies -Ability to throw melee qeapons or items like the first game(pretty basic) -When you swing it has impact and you bring the weapon back to swing again. Not swing theough the head from the right, and then swing from left. I want it to feel like i hit something and i retract my arm back to hit again. Not swing through the head left to right aimlessly

[@thatcandian_guy3312]

I would really a jayvee series where he attempts platinums , would be entertaining

[@awaken2049]

I remember when I was 15yo and this game was new, I used to have a fr in school we played this game in his room it was amazing times. I even remember the week we started I brought my laptop and we spend the whole weekend playing and discussing who's house would be safer in z apocalypse lmao

[@KonungrKaapro]

I honestly enjoyed Dead Island Riptide more. It also brought in my favourite choice of player character as well (John Morgan). Actually really excited for Dead Island 2, I’m still skeptical but excited.

[@Gunzerker111]

I had just started playing the game again last week out of boredom, and it still scares me to this day.

[@kingplatypus5767]

Dude it's crazy cause I've been playing this recently lol and what's even crazier is I said the same exact thing when I was telling my cousin about it having a farcry 3 look to it

[@domonicsdaniel4497]

I'm replaying the game every 2-3 years or so. There is something about the first act/area (the istalnd resort), which I cannot wrap my head around, but to this day I think that, atmospherically, that is one of the best areas ever made in any videogame. It might be the slick looks of sunshine and bone-white beaches which they nailed (playing the Definitive Edition, so graphics are updated). It might be the utter juxtaposition of a picture-perfect holiday beach resort being littered with blood, guts, corpses and zombies. I don't know. But as an opening act and as an area as a whole, the sheer quality of it is just through the roof for me. Techland NAILED it.

[@GoonieLord]

On the first Dead Island once you make it to the church the zombies get very tough and of course you deal with the Ram more

[@jaycesoder7444]

You should totally do a full playthrough of this game before Dead Island 2!

[@leoyeye2761]

i apreciate him trying to say ha noi correctly

[@iiFuture]

I remember when Dead Island and Resistance 3 came out on the same day. Stayed up playing both games from Friday to Sunday lol.

[@GoonieLord]

I recently bought both Definitive Editions on Humble Bundle for my PC both together cost $6! Running on the first one one 3840x2160 and using a trainer just to enjoy the game. Got that Ling gal to level 60 in the first half hour got all the perks that I wanted and so far having fun. Going to do another character run eventually

[@MrAwesumo]

I had to read the title 5 times my head was hurting and I was confused

[@Digiornoflocka]

Every couple of years I go back and play through. It's a great time every time. Usually find cool new shit too
