Dead Island Ryder White DLC Review

NowGamer has penned a review for Techland’s latest piece of downloadable content for Dead Island, the single-player-only Ryder White, and awards it a 6.1/10, due to the excessive linearity and fiddly gunplay. Their conclusions:

Dead Island did a fantastic job of realising a world shot to hell, and gave you the freedom to react to it however you wanted. In comparison, Ryder White’s zombie adventure is a restricted and stilted affair that occasionally reminds us why Techland’s original game was so much fun. Dead Island is deserving of additional content, but it’s even more deserving of an entire sequel.

…

Though if Techland thinks that following the corridor-based antics of the modern shooter is the right way to take Dead Island forward, then we should probably sit them down and explain exactly what the first game got right.
