Couldn't get through the first game. the sudden spike in difficulty in the 2nd chapter and the fact you HAD to play Co-Op to survive past that point just completely ruined it for me. I really enjoyed it up until that point, but suddenly I'm in the city and i'm being completely destroyed by everything.
I don't think they balanced the game properly towards single players and focused too hard on the co-op. which in my opinion completely detracts from the scenic horror of the first chapter, the way the trees swayed, how dark it was despite being a tropical island, all the abandoned shacks and zombies in really scary places. then you get to the city and it's just "team up, do some quests", don't have time to explore, just go kill zombies.
Game with a lot of potential, went tits up. won't be getting Riptide.
