I am still playing through this, but I am giving this one a recommend as I have been having fun with it. It is fairly linear, but I am digging the story. I got it on sale and I recommend you do the same.

I'm gonna give it a positive cause I love dead island its a good serious way better than dying light, but I want to give it a middle ground cause its both good and bad, the good things are the comic style graphics are really amazing its like playing a comic book game, the music not too bad, I do like the stealth mechanics, but the bad is that characters are so boring even the character you play as Cliff is such a drag in this game give me Sam B any day over this piece of wet cardboard, the story also is very very bad and really confusing I played even new game plus and the DLC I have no idea what went on its like the devs took drugs when making this game, the combat is also terrible and the amount of weapons is stupid, in the other ones you can craft so many awesome weapons and that's another thing you can't craft anymore in this one, I think the reason this got hated is because we were expecting dead island but instead we got this and this does not feel like dead island at all the only things that are apart of dead island is the title, the fact they mention Banoi and also Xian Mei, to be honest at full price its not worth it but at like 90 percent off I guess you can't go wrong, also deep silver be careful who you hire next time

Shame. If this game is a standalone title and not a dead island game, it would probably have better steam reviews and less hate. Not for players looking for more dead island. Borderlands style graphics+little bit of splinter cell?, dead islandish style combat, mystery after mystery which keeps the player engaged from a narrative perspective. The game also switches between light and dark environments to help keep a good pace. The only problem is running kick+finisher is too OP. And combat is a little janky to a new player at first. 8/10. Worth it on a sale to folks who are interested.
