These are 2 games, originally released on PS3, that have been remastered & released for PS4. The first (Dead Island) comes on disc, while the 2nd (Riptide) comes as a download code. There is also a 3rd game (Retro Revenge, a 2-D side-scroller) included for download as well.
I have enjoyed the first game quite a bit so far. They seem to have ironed out the bugs & glitches with the remaster and patches--I've had no problems so far. The game is fun--think a simpler Dying Light (this company's later creation). The story's not terrible, there's lots to do, and the co-op play is great and without problems. If you like 1st person shooters killing zombies, give this one a try--can't beat the price!

I originally had this game on PS3 when it was available and I loved it. I like it more especially now with the new graphics. It has an open world environment and the Zombie apocalypse theme to it is just hands down awesome.

Hours of enjoyable zombie killing gameplay for little money with a nice graphics update and new trophies to earn. It also comes with all original DLC as well as a nice retro inspired downloadable standalone game for free.

Long long game and if you like zombies and if you lik rpg then this is like a sandwich combined that you will enjoy.
I was so shocked by the upgrade they did. The game is a blast to play by the way and is a lot more fun on the next gen consoles. Love it so far.

The updated graphics make the games so much better. Also, getting two games for the price of one is a great deal. I previously had Dead Island on the xbox 360.

Who doesn't like remakes so the Devs can make more money? Still a good game, just sucks you have to download the second game, it's not on disk.

This is a good game that originally came out in 2011. It has enhanced graphics. This game does have some low points and the game mostly takes place on the same island running back and forth for quests.
If you enjoy zombie games and collecting stuff to make new powerful weapons, this is a good game.

This isn't a remaster of Dead Island 1 & 2 but basically a PS4 version of the PS3 ones. I love these open world zombie games and since I rarely bring my ps3 out to play, getting this for PS4 just made sense. My only issue is having both the Dead Island 2 and the retro as code downloads and not on the actual disc.

If you never played the Dead Island games on PS3, I would recommend picking this up. For $40 you get Dead Island, Dead Island: Riptide, and Dead Island: Retro Revenge. The best out of all 3 is the original Dead Island. If you plan on playing this, I would advise playing co-op so it doesn't get boring.
