Dead Island

Dead Island (2011) is an open-world survival horror RPG set on the zombie-infested tropical resort of Banoi, where players choose from four immune survivors (each with unique skills) to fight, craft, and complete quests. Known for its brutal melee combat, weapon customization, and co-op multiplayer, the game blends first-person action with loot-driven progression, though it was criticized for glitches, repetitive missions, and a tonally inconsistent story (despite its famous emotional trailer).
