More Weapons/Better Customization
« Back to Story
While there were a lot of various weapons in Dead Island, many of them felt like the same old weapon with a different skin. Let’s get realistic here and have the survivors use literally anything they can as weapons like in Dead Rising. If I was surrounded by zombies I’d love to have a machine gun on me but, chances are, that’s not happening so I’d impale a guy with beach parasol if it was the only thing around. One aspect of Dead Island’s weapons mechanics that I rarely touch is the customization that’s available at workbenches throughout the island. The reason for this is because it was pretty bland with the exception of a few specific ones. Upgrading your weapon’s stats is rarely worth it until the end and, while the ‘mods’ you can acquire are pretty cool, a lot of them feel the same as well. Keep the mods but add some more flavour and really make the stat upgrades worth the hassle, both statistically and visually. I’m tired of looking at a broken paddle.
