I definitely like the style. This cell-shading and those comic-book sound-words suit it. And I like that it is an original story with loose (at least currently) connections to original game. Adds more depth to the lore of Dead Island, IMHO. In terms of gameplay I am still on the fence at the moment: it started off, practically as a slasher, then turned into stealth. Stealth is not bad and this approach does seem a bit more realistic, that brute head-bashing of the original (although it was fun). The story also has some intriguing points. I only wish there was an actual health-bar and ability to jump (just for some extra fun), but I can live without them.
