WARNING! WARNING! Explicit language is being used in this article as well as any gameplay videos I have.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This next game I will be discussing is, in my opinion, one of the funniest games ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is not a time when I am not laughing my ass off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The GOTW is\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDead Island.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u201cDead Island\u201d is one of the funniest fucking games I have ever played.<\/span><\/p>\n

I first played \u201cDead Island\u201d in 2016, maybe 2017 on my Xbox One. My sister watched me play this and it was hilarious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since I first played this game, it’s been on my list of games I love.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDead Island\u201d is an action-filled, role-playing game where zombies have overtaken an island called Banoi. The main goal of this game: get the FUCK out of there!!<\/span><\/p>\n

There are 4 characters you can play: Sam B, Xian Mei, Logan Carter, and Purna Jackson.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is another character but you can’t play him. I have no idea who he is but I think his name might be John? But anyways, we will focus on the 4 I mentioned above.<\/p>\n

The main thing to know about these four characters: they are immune to the virus (HK5 virus, which creates all the zombies).<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam B<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sam B is a rapper and he plans to perform at Banoi Royal Palms Resort on Banoi Island. Here, he performs his hit song, \u201cWho Do You Voodoo?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I fucking love this song so you should take a listen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The night after his performance, he and the other three discover an outbreak of zombies that has taken over Banoi Island.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam B is placed in the \u2018tank\u2019 class and comes with these stats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam B\u2019s stats are; 110 health, 100 speed, and 90 stamina, and his speciality is the use of blunt weapons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Xian Mei<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Xian Mei is the character I would choose first. Everything about her, in my opinion, makes her one of the strongest characters to choose.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xian Mei was an employee at the Royal Palms Resort but became a spy for the resort to spy on the wealthy customers and guests at Banoi Royal Palms Resort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xian Mei is placed in the \u2018assassin\u2019 class and comes with the stats listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xian Mei\u2019s stats are; 90 health, 100 speed, 100 stamina, and her speciality is the use of sharp weapons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As I said above, she is one of my favorite characters, mainly because of her specialty in using sharp weapons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being able to cut off zombies’ heads or even their whole body in half makes her skills effective in taking large crowds of zombies down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Logan Carter<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Logan Carter is a former American football player.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Logan Carter is placed in the \u2018Jack of all trades\u2019 class and comes with very strong stats that are listed below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Logan Carter\u2019s stats are: 100 health, 100 speed, and 80 stamina and his speciality is the use of projectiles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t choose Logan Carter. He would be the last person I would choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Purna Jackson<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"
Photo from deadisland.fandom.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Purna Jackson is a former police officer. She was fired for improper conduct. Her job now is being a bodyguard for VIPs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purna Jackson is placed in the \u2018support\/leader\u2019 class and her stats are below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Purna Jackson\u2019s stats; are 100 health, 100 speed, and 90 stamina, and her speciality is the use of firearms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She is my second choice if I wasn\u2019t feeling like playing Xian Mei.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To rank these characters in the order I would play them, it would be:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Xian Mei<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Purna Jackson<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    Sam B<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n

    Logan Carter<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Banoi Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Banoi Island is the main setting of this entire game. There are different areas of the map which we will get into later.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Banoi is located just north of Australia and holds the popular Banoi Royal Palms Resort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Though this island is known for its hotels, tropical beauty, and tropical paradise, it takes a wild turn and turns into a tropical nightmare.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This, now tropical nightmare, is covered with zombies.<\/span><\/p>\n

    There are four different areas of the map in the 4 acts taken during this game.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In Act 1, we have the resort map<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Resort\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Here is a photo of the entire resort map.<\/p>\n

    This is where the game begins. Located on this map are different areas the player(s) can explore.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Such as the lifeguard station, Banoi Hotel, lighthouse, and a lot more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Each of these areas is covered with zombies, so if you decide to explore, be prepared to fight a LOT of zombies.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Any clips in this area<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    In Act 2, we have the city of Moresby map<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The City of Moresby<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/h2>\n

    After Act 2, we move into the city of Moresby, which is (if you haven’t guessed it, overrun by more zombies).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    In this area, there are different places just like in the resort map.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here’s a picture of the entire map.<\/p>\n

    \"\"
    Photo from deadisland.fandom.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    These places include the sewers, the police station, the church, and a lot more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    This is probably my second least favorite place to play in this game. It\u2019s personally terrifying because not only are there zombies but there are also people who will shoot at you.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I hate this place with all my heart and if you don\u2019t believe me.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here’s a clip of someone coming out of nowhere and attacking me.<\/p>\n
