The Living Island

A game I have played a lot of recently is Dead Island, it is a FPS/RPG hack and slash game.

You wake up after a rough night of partying to find that a zombie apocalypse has broken out on the island while you slept. You try to escape and run into a bunch of other survivors, they ask you to complete tasks (as you are the only person capable of... blah blah blah) in order to get off the island.

There are four main characters that you can play as, each with their own skills and weapon sets. A Throwing, Firearms, Blunt and Sharp expert.

The main draw of the game is the hack and slash elements. You can pick up most items and use them as melee weapons, now and again you enter firearm sections but the main focus is on the melee combat.

The game is quite enjoyable in short periods but the game is very very repetitive. I can only play it for about an hour at a time due to this. All the quests are very similar, the areas are only slightly different and the enemies, once encountered are constant from then on out.
