Dealspwn.com writes: "Techland have effectively released a large expansion pack that offers a practically identical gameplay experience; another island full of shambling monstrosities to clumsily brutalise with home-made weaponry and fetch quests a go-go. Can Dead Island impress now that (as B.B. King once famously sang) the thrill is gone? Not really."

onPause writes: Even though I have these gripes with the game, Dead Island Riptide had me hooked again. I love the open world gameplay, the weird but ironically charming characters and the first person zombie slashing, using the weapons I crafted or got from beating a massive zombie berserker. Techland has managed to rope me back in and take a deep dive into a beautiful zombie infested tropical island that I couldnt stop looting. If you loved Dead Island then Riptide is a game you will want to jump into as it feels just as fun, addicting and rewarding as its predecessor.

Call for digital distribution was the right move. If you wrote off Call of Juarez: Gunslinger by the franchise legacy alone, no one would blame you. After a mildly positive reception for Bound in Blood, the folks at Techland gave a modern day Western a shot with The Cartel. Big mistake. It wasn't enough for Ubisoft to let go of the franchise, but rather than a retail release that could spell major financial risk with low reward, Techland reloaded their six-shooters and took aim at digital distribution. The result is a game that takes itself a lot less seriously and appeals more to the fans of old coin-op Wild West shoot-'em-ups of yesteryear. There's still a story and campaign, loosely based on historic outlaws, such as Jesse James or Billy the Kid. But there's also a strictly arcade mode meant for wracking up high scores and just having a blast. Or both.

Dead Island: Riptide developer Techland has contested comments made by Deep Silver last week about its decision not to release the game on Wii U, claiming that the reason to skip Nintendo's console has nothing to do with Chrome Engine's capabilities.
