I'm not one to sit around doing every single side mission in a game because I have 2 little kids and just don't usually have the time. But for this game I took the time. And I enjoyed every bit of it! I've even been working on all of the achievements because I want an excuse to keep playing the game.

At first I thought, ah dang, a pipe? a wooden board? I won't last a minute in this. And I didn't. :) But as it progresses I get better weapons. Oooo a bat! OMG A MACHETE! *Never uses anything besides a machete again.* And running and jumping over everything was ok....but then....GASP! Grapple hook! I love you, grapple hook! So wonderful! I'm Spiderman!

A few days in...I suddenly realize it's dusk and I'm NOWHERE NEAR THE SAFEHOUSE. It rapidly gets dark and I hear terrible sounds getting closer and closer and I RUN AND TRIP AND FALL OVER EVERYTHING and almost kill myself falling off of buildings just to make it back. I peeked behind me while running and almost had a heart attack. D': I <3 you safehouse. I'm never going out at night again. *** NEXT MISSION *** : Go out at night and collect some plants or something of the sort............................... O_O

10/10 Would use my glowing green machete on volatiles again. You don't scare me anymore! (jk) :')

(Btw, I enjoyed this so much more than the Dead Island games!)

Update for The Following: You get to drive cars and run over zombies! What could be better?! Great addition to the game.
