Riptide's appeal lies in its commitment to a particular brand of zombie survival: melee-focused combat in a tropical paradise. The joy of smashing undead hordes with makeshift weapons, leveling up unique characters, and exploring a sun-soaked island is the core loop. Despite its flaws, the game's co-op mode and the satisfying crunch of each zombie kill create a visceral, memorable experience.
