Escape Dead Island is a Survival-Mystery game set on the enigmatic island of Narapela after the events of the zombie outbreak of the original Dead Island. The story lets players unravel the origins of the zombie virus through the eyes of the would-be documentary journalist Cliff Calo. There are no superpowers to keep Cliff alive, just a few makeshift weapons against hordes of infected zombies. It will be integral to choosing wisely between stealth and combat at certain moments in the game.
Cliff Calo, son of wealthy media mogul Tom Calo, led a care-free life with little regard for the family business. However, when his father decides to hand over the company to his younger sister Heather, Cliff feels insulted and excluded. Knowing that his father desperately seeks an insight on the unexplained events on Banoi for his broadcasting channels, Cliff and his friends set sail to land the story that will prove his worth.
Being a top graduate and highly skilled in martial arts, Xian Mei was the first female recruit to join the People’s Liberation Army as part of their domestic crime squadron. She was sent undercover to the Royal Palms Resort on the Island of Banoi as part of a secret mission. Then the zombie outbreak happened and soon after she was spotted at neighbouring island Narapela…
The Island of Narapela is part of the Banoi Archipelago and located only a few miles from Banoi. Narapela is both a place and an adversary that jealously guards its secrets. As Cliff ventures deeper into the island, his adventure begins to become more and more distorted and unpredictable. Tear through a world that reacts to your every move and collect every clue you can: somewhere amid the madness lies the truth behind Dead Island’s apocalyptic outbreak.

If you want to question your sanity with a lot of input delay, you can play this game.
Good potential and very poor implementation. The worst part mandatory cut-scenes every time you lose. This game bringing more annoyance than joy.
Shitty combat and stealth mechanics. Worst game of the series.
This is one of those "yellow paint everywhere" type games and the mechanics suck. camera mechanic as well.
Mixed feelings. Overall, it's not a bad game, and pretty fun and creative in depicting a lunatic hero's mind, although it's just another version of dead island 1 with different focus. That said, the plot is also so confusing, the creators' probably wanted this, but not for my taste personally. It's got a good rhythm, keep the tension, not too easy but not horribly hard, enough to keep my focused most of the time. Some down sides are: first, a little bit buggy, especially if you are near an object, you can't stealth kill because the game won't let you get up, got me almost killed couple of times, and second, reuse of the map, and moving from one map to another takes too long, and third, I still can't figure out which weapon's better than which, some descriptions would be nice, and fourth, my neck hurts from that tilted view towards the ending of the game, and last but not least, I accidentally entered DLC and was so confused the first 10 minutes, had to quit the game and google what happened.
I wouldn't play a second time, though I personally enjoy this type of art style.
Pretty fun
"Escape Dead Island" offers a unique and atmospheric horror experience with a focus on psychological horror and a compelling narrative.
While the gameplay mechanics may not be groundbreaking, the game's story and setting create a memorable and Pleasing experience.
This review is based on 100% completion and 14.9 hours of gameplay.
Recommendation:
Would I recommend this game? Yes, I would. It’s not without its issues, but as a one-off experience, I actually enjoyed it. This game is definitely different from your typical Dead Island entries, being in third person and adopting a completely unique style. Honestly, the best way I can describe this game is as a “fever dream.” It’s a weird experience.
The first thing most people will notice is the art style, which leans heavily into a comic book aesthetic, with high-contrast colours and bold outlines. I thought this style was really well done and fit the game’s vibe perfectly. For example, when something happens, you’ll see comic-style sound cues like “BOOM!” for explosions or “BZZT” for electricity. It’s unique and executed well.
The gameplay itself is where I’m a bit on the fence. While I liked the simplicity, it did feel slow, clunky, and unintuitive at times, which made the game harder than it should have been. My biggest gripe is switching and changing weapons; it’s often unresponsive, requiring multiple presses, and it can easily mess up in the middle of combat, which can be frustrating. I enjoyed the weapon progression, though—the katana felt weaker than I expected, so I mostly used the fully upgraded axe, which felt more effective. The guns, particularly the silenced pistol and AR, were useful but mainly in situations where you aren’t completely overwhelmed by zombies.
As for the story, “fever dream” really is the best way to describe it, so I won’t attempt to explain it here. Still, it was intriguing enough to keep me interested, at least for the first playthrough. The progression from start to finish was done well—strange, but effective. The sound design, audio, and music fit well, though there was one part toward the end where my character repeated lines. I’m not sure if that was intentional, but it felt out of place. On New Game Plus, some elements change slightly, which is a nice touch. While I was mainly focused on getting an achievement on this playthrough, the small differences kept it interesting.
Overall, it’s a decent game for a one-off experience, but it’s definitely not for everyone and does come with some frustrations. If you can get past those, it’s not too bad. However, I wouldn’t recommend it at full price; wait for a good sale. Since it’s an older title that goes on sale frequently, you shouldn’t have trouble finding a good deal.
Achievements:
The DLC is required for 100%, but it’s included with the game. There are a good number of missable achievements, so using a guide is recommended. Some achievements can also be buggy, though they’re still obtainable—just a bit annoying to get.
The achievements in this game aren’t too difficult. You’ll need to complete two full playthroughs from start to end for 100%. With many collectibles and missables due to areas that can’t be revisited, I’d highly recommend following a guide. I used a helpful guide by ALoneWolf42 on TrueAchievements, which includes step-by-step instructions for the base game and DLC content. You can check it out here.
You can complete almost all achievements—collectibles, kills, and story—during your first playthrough if you plan well. In this game, many enemies don’t respawn, appearing only during mission progression, so focus on kill achievements as you go. Once you complete one, move to the next. For collectibles, if you’re following ALoneWolf42’s guide, check the total count at the end of each mission. A useful tip: after each mission, find a save, exit to the main menu and check your gallery to the guide and confirm you have all collectibles from that mission.
Some achievements, particularly enemy-specific ones, can be buggy. For example, the achievement for killing a Bouncer while it’s in the air was glitchy for me and took over ten tries, in the end I got it with the pistol. These specific achievements can be a bit frustrating.
Other than that, the achievements are fairly straightforward if you’re following the guide.

Bad Game
Stripped down Dead Island with stealth and hallucinations. The levels are good, but the gameplay is so basic regardless of sneaking or attacking, even with low starting health. The story isn't great.
I am still playing through this, but I am giving this one a recommend as I have been having fun with it. It is fairly linear, but I am digging the story. I got it on sale and I recommend you do the same.
No save game slot except current game. You can get trapped and have to start all over from begining. Story gets weak at the end. End levels aren't fun and seem cheap. DLC is terrible. Just made to be near impossible difficult. I hate the art style IMHO. Nor really a prequel.
Pretty bad:/
This game is a bad copy of the walking dead. I didn't like it at all. A very cluncky game that uses the Dead Island name in order to sell. The story is awfull and honestly... shadow zombies? WTF!? Some devs should avoid taking drugs while working..
It's a pretty good stylized game, but the levels get repeatable. Some Parts were fun and others were tedious. That underground lab side mission was totally bad.
