NowRiptideis here to deliver more of the same, but can it refine the formula?

More of the same?
Controls seem more fluid, the engine runs a little better and theres a bit of extra overall polish.
However, it also doesnt take long to see that little has changed.
Riptideis, right from the off, more of the same zombie-killing we experienced in the first game.
This is no more apparent than the in games new team missions.
Do these missions, and your comrades get stronger and others offer more services.
As long as you dont exhaust your stamina bar, youre golden.
This necessitates the need to use the new boats.
It certainly doesnt add any major new mechanics to the mix.
Character levelling is enhanced.
Item spawning is just ridiculous, and eliminates any need to worry about item collection and money saving.
Still, with money being left absolutely everywhere, in every location, youll rarely run out.
Whatever it is, youll be stuck to it.
Go into deep water and your screen goes blurry and your health starts to drop.
Nice visuals cant hide some of the shoddiness, and theres a definite need for some more variety.
