This review is just dumb. It has Eleitst George Romero Fanboy, splattered all over it. Yeah, we get it. you are a fan of George Romero zombie movies... Whoopie, get over yourself. "Whilst the game is hilarious and respects its cultural origins in film, the core gameplay doesn’t do anything new in comparison to its predecessors" Film....yeah. This is NOT a George Romero flick and honestly, why would you bother with these comparisons? What room or world did you walk into where things conform to your fan-of-another-ip-and-medium expectations? P.S. you not playing it or enjoying it correctly. You might need some special official film-acurate George Romero zombie gloves when you hold your controller.

You're complaining about them saying how they like that it respects film origins but that it doesn't do anything compared to past Dead Island games and then go off on them for being a fan of the thing they say they like about the game.

I don't understand your complaints because you give the impression you think they're saying it's not as good as Romero flick when they're saying it does nothing to differentiate it from their own past games.

Exactly this! Thanks for reading the review and thanks for your comments!

"The core gameplay doesn't do anything new in comparison to its predecessors" was about previous games (Dead Island / Dead Island Riptide) and not a comparison to previous Romero movies.

Perfectly fine that you don't agree with the review; thanks for your comments!

I'm happy I got this game, the story is on the weak side but the gameplay, the semi-open world and the DLC's are great. Got way more hours out of this than I ever thought I would and playing with friends is stupid fun.
