Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want combat to take a supporting role may find the fighting-focused premise a poor match.
- Those who prefer a slower pace may find the emphasis on battling groups of enemies difficult to settle into.
- Players who do not want deliberately retro, 16-bit presentation may bounce off the visual style.
Our take on Dead Island Retro Revenge
The bounce point is the sustained focus on side-scrolling fights: players who want combat to take a back seat may lose interest once Max is repeatedly battling groups of enemies. The 16-bit presentation is another likely stopping point for anyone seeking a different visual style.
