Whether it be the epic choruses of Devil May Cry 5 or the frantically fun tunes in Mario Kart 8, the backing track can help people focus and tell them what to expect to rise to the challenge This is probably why neither of the titles thus far have found themselves on our best horror games and best PS4 games lists.When done right, music within any game can lift the experience and give the player a much-needed adrenaline rush that’ll carry them through to the finish. The Dead Island games haven't been bad so far, they just haven't matched the spectacular trailers which give a different vibe to what the actual games entail. Gosh, those Dead Island Riptide trophies definitely brought tears to my eyes for all the wrong reasons it was so janky. Dead Island Riptide and its savagely good trailer had the same lack of synchronicity, showcasing a story of a couple who choose to go out of the zombie apocalypse on their own terms - it's striking and tugs at your heartstrings, something the game itself never manages to do.

Instead, what players were given was a fun, yet underwhelming, zombie romp that didn't meet everyone's high expectations. The music and raw emotion the trailer showed resonated with so many players and had them hyped up for what looked to be a beautifully tragic story set in a zombie apocalypse. It portrayed a horrifying scene, starting with a little girl dying and slowly unravelling the events that led to her demise.
