The visual quality of the game remains stagnant as well. Dead Island: Riptide doesn’t address any of these problems and it is less of a game because of that.
The first Dead Island has several clipping and frame-rate issues, especially when several zombies are attempting to peel your face off. Graphically, Riptide has the same issues as its predecessor. Once you make landfall, the action slows to an agonizing crawl.
The fast-action opening ends with a race to the bridge to avert the ship from crashing into another island. You have to escape the lower decks of the ship with zombies at every turn, twisting your way through the interior until you emerge onto the deck to fight off a final wave. This prologue is one of the best parts of the game. After a brief story sequence on the deck of the ship, you are launched into another fight for your life. Nothing could be worse than the island, right? Wrong. The story picks up right where we left off - escaping Banoi and landing our helicopter on the deck of a mysterious military ship. Needless to say, I am a little disappointed. Unfortunately, most of the bugs from the first game are still intact in the sequel and there is little progression to make the game more fun. It is an open-world-zombie bonanza with a little bit of character development thrown in. Even though the first game has several issues, it still manages to be fun. Dead Island: Riptide is the follow-up to last year’s sleeper hit, Dead Island.
