Finally finished my three player play through of Dead Island with Linda and old school mate Woodoggies. Have to say we found the whole thing very enjoyable. The scavenging for parts and in-your-face melee combat worked so well in co-op, creating a real feeling of being a small group surviving the outbreak. I feel it’s very much like Borderlands, a game which only reaches it’s greatness when played with others. We still have a lot to do in the game though, various fun and some grinding achievements to try and obtain, but given how much we enjoy the experience I can’t see any of them being too much of a hardship.
If you can find a couple or even three friends to play with I highly recommend it.
