The good news is that you're on a resort holiday in Papua New Guinea, the bad news is that you're in the Dead Island universe and so there's a zombie apocalypse. You happen to be immune to the zombie bites though, which is nice – though that does mean it's up to you to be the hero who saves the other unfortunate holidaymakers while hacking and slashing your way through zombies in bikinis and Hawaiian shirts. If that sounds like the kind of terrifying holiday you'd like to take this Halloween, you'll be pleased to hear that you can get Dead Island: Definitive Collection for just $2.78 / £2.78 in a new Fanatical bundle.
You've probably already heard that best RPGs. As you make your way across the island and rescue the people stranded across the resort, your character levels up, with a skill tree that helps you increase your proficiency with various weapons, enhances your stamina, or gives you abilities like fire resistance. It offers a level of personalization that allows you to approach challenges however you like.
There is a selection of playable characters to choose from, too – Sam, Xian, Logan, and Purna. Each of them plays slightly differently and has unique skill trees. No doubt you'll have a favorite who compliments your usual playstyle, but having the option to switch between the different characters increases the level of replayability.
As this is included as part of the Dead Island: Definitive Collection, you're getting the Definitive Edition of the game, which amps up the graphics significantly over the original, while ultimately leaving the core experience unchanged. You also get Dead Island: Riptide – Definitive Edition, a sequel made well before Dead Island 2 which continues the original's story, and Dead Island: Retro Revenge, which is styled after the best retro games, and offers unique, auto-scrolling beat 'em up sort of gameplay.
The pricing of the bundle varies depending on how many games you add, but you get the best price if you get six items at $2.78 / £2.78 each ($16.66 / £16.66 in total) with each additional game costing an extra $2.78. You can also get two games at $3.33 / £3.33 each, or four games at $2.92 / £2.92 each.
