I don't say these as negatives, though – they get the job done satisfactorily, and the dev team would have been foolish to bite off more than they could chew. The third-person combat is basic, the stealth is rudimentary, the island is small, and the animation is limited. Once they arrive, it's not long before things head even further south than they did.Īs a mid-lister, the most important thing to know about Escape Dead Island is that it's all about the narrative. He drags a couple of friends along to play at being investigative journalists, and they "borrow" his dad's boat to get there. While all hell was breaking loose on the tropical, zombie-infested Banoi, a privileged rich kid named Cliff Calo catches wind that the nearby island of Narapela might actually be where all the trouble started. To set the scene, Escape is a sidestory tying into the plot of the original Dead Island. That said, it stays focused on what it wants to do and offers things to chew on for players who've acquired a taste for something a bit different. It's narrow in design, limited in its features, and clearly does not have a huge budget. Unfortunately, they're much fewer and further between these days, and when they do appear, they're slammed or ignored because they aren't as shiny as triple-A releases.Įscape Dead Island is a perfect example of the kind of mid-lister that I'm referring to. There's no strict definition of what a mid-list game is, but I think of them as titles that have small budgets and small teams, more than a few rough edges left by the time they ship, and they're usually built around one or two experimental ideas – they're bigger than indies, but definitely not triple-A.Īs someone who doesn't need the latest bells and whistles to have a good time, these were often the most interesting and exciting things to play because they took risks and tried bizarre, unproven formulas.
I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened, but somewhere during the PS3/360 era, the "mid-list" game started to vanish. WTF Exactly how much rope is Cliff carrying?
