Just nabbed the freebie. Nice.
I've tried getting into these games, snagged them all on Steam in previous offers, and never got far. I appreciate the graphics, story, voiceovers, gameplay mechanics, and such, but get bored with zombie stuff after a bit. For those who like this genre, I do recommend however as they are well made and have some awesome jump-scare moments.
Never finished Dead Island.... it's a never ending fetch quest game and killing the zombies (while interesting at first) becomes so massively repetitive. Haven't tried #2.
I didn't even know it wasn't on steam until now. The more you know...
To those who have played it, Is Dead Island better than Dying Light?
