Dead Island is set in the fictional island of Banoi, located off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The main characters wake up in the Palms Resort hotel to find the island attacked by zombies and mysteriously, they are immune to whatever is making people into zombies. As they try to find and help other survivors, they must also find a way to escape the island as well.
This isn't the most demanding game engine released in the last year, and we found it was playable at 1080p, although borderline with the settings we selected. A few image quality reductions would help increase the frame rate a little.
