The trailer fiasco has been done to death. Dead island is a game of clashing tones and identities. There are moments and side quests that match what that trailer set out to do. Running into broken people who were forced to make horrible decisions or being asked yourself to make those decisions on the behalf of others. These moments come rarely and are often sandwiched between the main meat of the game. That being fairly usual zombie game fair of killing masses of the undead with the occasional mission of dealing with rogue human factions. Creating over the top weapons is another bright spot in this game. Overall fun in short bursts but grows very repetitive over time
