Dead Island 2 is making its way to Steam on April 22, so the folks at Deep Silver have decided to add some chum to the water and offer Dead Island: Riptide – Definitive Edition as a freebie for people to perhaps cut their teeth on some zombie splattering action before the big title drops.
The game currently sits as a ‘Mixed’ rating on Steam, with many people at least criticising some odd developer decisions and grindy gameplay elements; citing things like spongey enemies and a straight out whacky stamina system.
I mean, take a look for yourself:
But, being a coop title you can likely guarantee that it will be fun with mates – and with a price as low as that, why not waste an hour or two with some buddies. Failing that, you can also check out some whopper savings on other Dead Island properties.
It’s all a precursor for the main event anyway – Dead Island 2 dropping the sun bleached landscape of ‘Hell-A’ for Steam users who have patiently awaited its period of exclusivity to pass.
Dead Island 2 is coming to Steam April 22nd!
