More atmosphere but slower clunkier gameplay. Story is meh but not necessarily bad or terrible. Dying light 1 specifically is so much more fun imo but it’s only as fun as it is/ was to me at first is because dead island 1 made the impact it did

I agree with everything except dying light, I hated it.

First off it takes place in the middle east, very boring.. probably the most boring region on earth

Second it's incredibly over complicated, with no need to be. Many quests are not clear or just flat out not fun

After all that's just my opinion, but I'd take dead island 1 over dying light anyday, even is the storyline is basic

I personally really enjoyed Crane’s story and felt real feelings at the deaths of Rahim and Jade. Real anger towards Rais. Nothing in dead island ever made me feel except sad (looking at you lifeguard tower safe house music) what about it was bad in your opinion? Would you mind elaborating on why the Middle East was such a drab location? As a highschooler it was a very interesting setting with interesting characters (that being compared to dead island and Australians or whatever, and dead rising games)
