IGNScott ButterworthNov 20146.8/10Escape Dead Island questions how we perceive reality, alongside questionable zombie-killing and stealth.

DualShockersJorge JimenezNov 20145.5/10Escape Dead Island completely ignores what makes a Dead Island game fun: there's no sense of dread and the highly enjoyable crafting system is nowhere to be seen. Hell, there's not even a co-op option. What we do have is a boring linear experience with one-dimensional characters and rickety combat.

New Game NetworkBen ThomasJul 201558/100Escape Dead Island is an unnecessary spinoff to a franchise that deserved better. The awkward melee, flawed stealth and erratic shooting produce a bland adventure.

Hardcore GamerJames KozanitisNov 20141/5Escape Dead Island squandered whatever opportunity it had to make a compelling story, while offering only sub-par gameplay to tide you over in the meantime. It has no business being a game, rather than a one-shot graphic novel for dedicated fans.
