Dead Island Riptide vs Valheim
Dead Island Riptide
Dead Island Riptide is a blend between a sequel and a spin-off from the original Dead island game, mainly because it is still set in the Banoi archipelago and yet the open world island you'll be trying to escape from this time around is called Palanai. The story continues from where the first game left off as well where your escape was thwarted and you are thrown back into the whole zombie fiasco. The gameplay is still pretty much the same - there will be lots of head-smashing or lopping depending on the weapon you use and you can do all of that cooperatively with up to four of your friends.With a lineup of new zombies and survivors, a selection of new deadly weapons, and a new playable character, Dead Island Riptide is a game that offers its fans more of the same with a bit of tweaks and additions on the side. If you love the original Dead Island, you'll love this game as well.
