The story of Dead Island is criticized for being weak and lacking depth, with players feeling frustrated by the game's premise of saving others who could help themselves. Despite this, the cooperative gameplay and variety of mission types provide an enjoyable experience, making it a worthwhile purchase for its price.
“Several mission types including horde survival, rescue, hunt, and scavenge.”
“Dead Island: best game trailer ever produced and seen, but the story is extremely weak. It's boring and too easy, and everyone expects you to save them when they could save themselves instead.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the unique art style and find it enjoyable, others criticize the low resolution and overall quality, deeming it subpar for a modern game. The simplicity of the menus is noted positively, but the inconsistency in visual quality may deter some players.
“This game dev sure makes really cool stuff for a 99 cents game. This game is a pretty epic zombie horror survival game, and I love the art style! <3”
“Graphics are goofy, but fun, and the menus are simple and easy to navigate.”
“Its shortcomings can and will be a dealbreaker for most; the resolution it plays at is disgusting and the art style is... awful.”
“So the original rhetorical question 'why create original art when you can download super low-res PNGs and use them instead?' should say 'why spend time ensuring that your painstakingly drawn artwork scales properly when you can just toss it up on Steam and hope no one notices?'”
