8 Reasons Why We're Still Playing Dead Island

3. Exploration Dead Island offered up a large environment that was waiting to be explored. As you ventured through the world, players found themselves in multiple areas that were all very different. Starting in the Resort of Banoi players explored the luxurious pools, huts, and beaches as they set out to complete their quests. Then, the inner city found the players running from the undead in the streets as they navigated around barricades, sewers, and rooftops. The Jungle provided a haven for bladed, handless, berserkers that never seemed to give up. Finally, players found themselves in a prison as the game drew to an end. Exploration was key to Dead Island, and many of the game's hidden secrets were waiting to be uncovered, if you were brave enough to stray away from the road less traveled. Just don't run into Jason...he's still really, really angry.
