The story of "Dead Island: Riptide" is generally viewed as weak and unoriginal, often described as a continuation of the first game's narrative without significant development or depth. Many players criticize the repetitive fetch quests and lack of engaging character arcs, leading to a feeling that the game serves more as an expansion than a standalone sequel. While some appreciate the attempt to build on the original's lore, the overall execution is seen as lacking, with numerous bugs and a frustrating quest structure detracting from the experience.
- “The story adds to the Dead Island narrative well, and while it doesn't innovate much, it is still a great game at its core!”
- “The story is a continuation of the first game, and it does give player characters more direct involvement, but it suffers from being a bit one-note, without much in the way of surprises.”
- “The story is pretty good, the graphics are excellent, sound and voice-acting all great, lots of collectibles to find, lots of quests.”
- “The story is a continuation from the first one but like the first one it really isn't that good (unless you want to laugh at the animations and the voice acting).”
- “The gameplay loop never changes, the enemies feel copy-pasted, and the story (if you can even call it that) is so bland it’s almost insulting.”

Despite its cooperative multiplayer appeal, many feel that the game fails to deliver a compelling or engaging experience, making it less enjoyable than the original.

- “The gameplay experience is engaging, with cooperative gameplay adding an extra layer of strategy and camaraderie as players coordinate attacks, share resources, and revive fallen comrades.”

- “One of the worst games I have ever played. Janky hitboxes, bad animation, and voice acting that feels like a joke, but it's not funny.

- “Nice done, zombies trapped inside the walls, not funny.”

The emotional aspect of the game is largely criticized, with many reviewers noting a weak plot and poor character development that fail to engage players on an emotional level.

- “Despite playing it for years, this game made me feel worse in 2 hours than League of Legends ever has.”
- “Lastly, the music is just splendid and often heartbreaking.”
- “Interactions with said characters comprise the bulk of the game’s generic plot, and although Riptide takes an occasional break from the zombie-slashing to acquaint you with them in awkwardly animated cutscenes, any emotional impact that could be made is lost due to an overall lack of substantial character development.”
- “It starts pretty good, but then it falls apart with the boring storyline and a very disappointing ending.”
- “Tedious and boring story with boring characters and boring gameplay.”
- “Despite getting this game for free, this is still one hell of a boring game with awful combat and movement mechanics and an extremely boring story written by a literal 5-year-old.”
