Whelp, one good thing came out of this: I spinned up Dead Island Riptide for the first time in ~18-months, and it is a foookin' great zombie shooter (/stabber/blower-upper), 1000x better than this POS. DI zombies are dangerous AF and scary AF.

Bit wank. A couple of cool set piece bits but overall a bit wank. Underexplains and ends up not making much sense.
I'm told the book is much better.

Ta Xen. I'll probably give it a miss then. I have realised over solitary confinement that my favourite niche genre for mindless watching is action horror.
Time for a thread

The book is meh, fyi imo. Not terrible, not great, it just exists and plays out the premise from start to end. Perhaps if I was a bit more excited by the idea I'd enjoy it more?

Yeah, my understanding is that it's presented as a report or series of reports? Documentary style, like. So yeah, I think you've *got* to be into the premise to get much from it.

Yeah, exactly. It’s like reading a bunch of collected columns/diaries/logs. I found it quite forgettable.

One of the golden age SF writers - maybe Olaf Stapleton - wrote a book that wholly comprised reviews of imagined books. That, by contrast, was a great read as I remember.

Ditched WWZ the game, played smore DIR and even launched L4D2 just to be sure. Yep, WWZ is irredeemably bad.

I picked it up free on Epic a week or so ago. Glad you saved me the effort of trying it out
:)
I noticed I have a dead island beta in my steam library. Anyone tried that?
