Gameplay consideravelmente datada, level design meio confuso, os personagens parece que tem parkinson tanto na hora de carregar a arma quanto na hora de atirar, pois o jogo tem um camera shake exagerado e historia simples, porem ok... Mas estranhamente, mesmo só tendo levantado criticas ruins, eu me diverti bastante jogando esse jogo, achei prazeroso kacetar cada zumbi com os mais diversos tipos de armas (menos as de fogo)
Review EN/PTBR
If you like the first Dead Island then you will enjoy Riptide, if not you will feel unhappy playing practically the same game again with few differences that differ from the original game.

Se você gosta do primeiro Dead Island então você vai gostar de Riptide, se não, vai se sentir infeliz jogando praticamente o mesmo jogo de novo com poucas diferenças que diferem do jogo original.

Si te gusto el primer Dead Island, este tambien te va a gustar puesto que usa el mismo motor y es secuela directa del mismo. Riptide narra los sucesos que acontecen a nuestro grupo en la isla de Palanai tras conseguir escapar de Banoi. Podremos jugar con nuestro personaje, recuperando el nivel y habilidades que teniamos. Jugabilidad identica en nuevas situaciones y escenarios, que se disfruta especialmente en cooperativo. Lo dicho, si disfrutaste de Dead Island, disfrutaras tambien de Riptide.
At the beginning i was enjoying it more than Dead Island 1, but then it all went to shit later on because yet again this game is plagued by so many fucking bugs and glitches, it's so easy to get stuck and die and in turn lose money (Yes, you lose money in this game every death like the first one, genuinely one of the worst fucking things in this whole game, especially because 80% of your deaths will be from bugs.)
Apart from the bugs, dogshit game design, the story is really boring and never picked up anywhere. I didn't even do all the side quests like i did in the first one because holy shit these ones are so goddamn repetitive and boring and i genuinely just wanted to finish the game.
The maps in this game = HORRENDOUS, at times they expect you to go through a complex place with no fucking guidance other than a green circle, and the maps certainly dont help because there are no actual waypoint lines like other games so you are bound to walk into dead ends multiple times (i did). Also i fucking hated the boat in this game, obviously needed for the jungle since its flooded but those dumb fucking water zombies make it so slow to get anywhere.
Basically the only good thing about this game are the locations, the Jungle and Henderson is beautiful, but the feel and vibe of those beautiful places are completely removed when you realize youre playing this game and youre gonna go do some more repetitive shit filled with bugs right when you move from a beautiful location. When i first came to Henderson i thought it looked beautiful, which it really does! But i was instantly hit with a dreaded main quest where i had to walk back and forth making me stressed (in a genuinely dreadful way because of how repetitive this game is) which then took me out of the "wow this is beautiful" vibe and took me straight into despair and the feeling of dread making the location not seem so beautiful anymore.
The combat is a little bit improved, with a few more abilities for all heroes. I really appreciate the fact they added the "Staff" Because its genuinely the only hand weapon that actually feels fast, the others feel so slow but the staff is faster than every other hand weapon. Which made the combat more bearable, also had to resort to using guns later on because i got so fucking bored with the hand weapon combat even with the staff, but the staffs kept me going early on and when i had no ammo. Hand combat is slow as fuck is what i'm trying to say.
Obviously i've written a lot of shit about this game but i did enjoy parts of it, i will never make myself play it again though.

Torturous, especially the water segments which made me lose my sanity.
One of the worst moments I've had and there were a ton of them: I drove to a location with my boat, seeing the autosave I leave the game thinking I'll just continue the next day.
Nope.
It respawns me to the location where I first got the boat, which is fine, although the boat is at the location where I left it the day before.
So, I swim through the zombies and just the unbearable pain of fighting them in the water to finally reach the location, go into some loading zone, finish a quest, go back, and...
THE BOAT DECIDED TO RANDOMLY RESPAWN TO THE BEGINNING SECTION WHERE IT WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME.
If I wasn't a masochistic perfectionist with an abnormally stupid rule to beat every single game, at least the story element, I would've dropped this game 7 times at the minimum.
