GameArena: "There is no reason to buy Dead Island: Riptide. I cant even suggest you buy it if you havent played the original - whether you have or not, Dead Island Riptide is not worth buying. With the all new and exciting bugs Techland have added, you are paying seven times as much for a worse version of the game. There was some speculation when Riptide was first announced whether it would be an expansion or a video game. It is neither - Dead Island: Riptide is an insult."

In theory; 'Dead Island: Riptide' should be a great horror game with an open world environment and RPG elements. Instead Techland found a way to make such a game incredibly boring, again!

Chad from We Got This Covered wrote: Two years ago, Polish developer Techland joined forces with Deep Silver, and presented the gaming community with one of the most talked-about video games of this generation: Dead Island. An interactive take on an unrealistic vacation from Hell scenario, the first-person shooter/action-RPG tasked players with surviving against hordes of undead foes, while attempting to escape a popular vacation island. It didn't matter if you went it alone, or with up to three friends, the experience consisted of lots of hacking and slashing, along with tons of fetching and a lot of travel. As such, that rather basic design formula and its resulting repetition led to polarizing opinions within the new intellectual property's rather large group of consumers, many of whom had purchased the game based on its unforgettable promotional trailer.

EG:Polish developer Techland is back, once again utilising its own Chrome Engine 5 to bring Dead Island's lush tropical environments to life. Attractive, expansive and dripping with detail, Riptide is an effective work-out for the bespoke technology, also seeing an increase in overall enemy count and better realising a world overrun by flesh eating monstrosities. The studio has also taken on-board criticism levelled at the first game in other areas: Dead Island Riptide is a noticeable more polished release, with far fewer of the infuriating glitches that previously tarnished the experience. The result is a smoother, more complete journey into the zombie apocalypse.

DSOGaming writes: "Dead Island: Riptide releases tomorrow and we've prepared a Performance Analysis that covers naturally its PC version. Dead Island: Riptide is powered by the Chrome 5 Engine, an engine that powered Call of Juarez: The Cartel and the first Dead Island game. And since its the same engine, it will be interesting to compare the original Dead Island with Riptide, and see whether or not Techland has addressed some of its issues."

Techland has managed to conquer its shortcomings in order to offer us a game that lives up to the expectations. Trying to maintain the same line while also implementing some changes in the game options, Dead Island: Riptide represents one of the best titles within the zombie genre for PlayStation 3.

Dead Island Riptide redefines the zombie-based, survival horror in video games. As the industry has become a stale reminder of what once was in this genre, publisher Deep Silver and developer Techland still remember how to give gamers what they want.

GB:The first Dead Island was long on good ideas but short on skillful execution, and while there's still a truly great game lurking in there somewhere, Riptide is not it. It's a shame Techland didn't take this opportunity to take a step back and figure out how to properly evolve this formula before iterating on the franchise again. Maybe that truly improved Dead Island will still come along someday, but in the meantime, Riptide feels like a game that didn't really need to be made.

Dead Island: Riptide doesnt fix whats broken with the first game, which is odd given the amount of details that desperately need to be repaired. The concept of an open world zombie survival game is still good on paper, but somehow Techland has failed for a second time to make sure it works in execution.
