Dead Island Definitive Edition
A 2024 remake of the cult zombie-slasher that trades the Caribbean for LA, keeping the gory melee combat and four-player co-op that made the original cult-weird.
GamerScout Verdict
Best for co-op groups who want melee zombie action without the survival complexity, but bring friends or don't bother.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Dead Island Definitive Edition
Dead Island Definitive Edition feels like a game that got exhumed, dusted off, and given a fresh coat of paint rather than a full rebuild. You're one of four immune survivors hacking through LA's undead hordes with improvised weapons, leveling up your character and unlocking new combat skills. The meat of it is straightforward: dismemberment physics, co-op bloodletting, light RPG progression. It's not trying to out-think Left 4 Dead or reinvent the wheel. What works: the melee combat feels satisfying when you're swinging maimed limbs at shambling targets, and the four-player co-op mode is where it finds its rhythm if you've got friends willing to commit. What doesn't: the campaign feels thin and repetitive solo, enemy variety is sparse, and the presentation hasn't aged into anything special. It's a low-key remaster of a 2011 game, not a revelation. Play it if you want co-op zombie slashing without the tactical intensity of modern survival games. Skip it if you're hunting single-player story substance.
