Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes
So rigorously, fundamentally garbage that it actually spins back into brilliance. I've always found something tantalizingly awful about this series, they're so fucking stupid and hilariously bad that it's a blast every time - I really don't think these get the meme treatment they deserve a la something like Knack does. Literally just an even lazier reskin of the original with bugged trophies, a wide array of laughable visual errors, and another disgusting showcase of the seventh generation's Play-Doh facial animations. Evokes such peaks of human emotion as you go from wanting to die to heights of side-splitting hilarity at its total incompetence that you reach some form of enlightenment. Have such fond memories with this one, objectively a huge disaster - imagine wanting your name attached to this in any way lmfao. "So bad it's good" has never been such a shrewd motherfucker, even better with friends.

This is such a downgrade from dead island that I am dissapointed. Quests are either defend or fetch 90% of the time. Co-Op straight up doesnt work and the zombies will just not stagger at all through your attacks no matter ehat weapons you are using. Gets 2 stars because the weapons still feel satisfying to use but thats about it.
Brainlessly killing zombies was entertaining to a certain extent, but even that was also a problem, and the game has a lot of problems. The modders have done something about the problems in the game. If you're going to play, you'd better download this mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/deadislandriptide/mods/2)
I haven't used it but this looks good too (https://www.nexusmods.com/deadislandriptide/mods/3)
-Good sides
-Weapon variety is good, although only a few weapons feel good.
-Cutting down a small amount of zombies is fun.
-I couldn't think of anything else.
-Bad parts
-Animations are bad.
-The effects used are bad.
-Player interface is bad.
-The game is balanced for co-op, not single player, so it is not designed separately for both.
-Special types of zombies are not good. (Especially the zombie type called Thug, which is only exaggeratedly suppressed)
-Even though I'm not a big fan of graphics, it's bad.
-Vehicle controls are terrible, especially the boat.
-Gunfire sucks.
