Dead Rising 4 Deluxe Edition is the fourth in the Dead Rising series, but it also includes season passes that include three content packs. Dead Rising 4 was a Capcom cash-grab and disappointed many fans, but some feel that the added content makes the game more pleasing and playable.

Dead Rising 4 with extras

Dead Rising 4 Deluxe Edition allows you to smash enemies with any type of weapon and/or object that you find other than enemy bodies and structural features, which are the only things you cannot use. There are exo-suits that you may use to increase your deadliness, but the game doesn't go far enough. You feel like a stone-cold killer when you mow down several zombies with the explosive power of an exo-suit, but the charge doesn't last long enough, and you have to get zombies to swarm you in order to feel the full effect. The men-wearing-female cosplay outfits is supposed to be funny, but it looks like a cheap joke and doesn't add to the gameplay experience. You have to fight Psychos (they are like bosses), but this instalment of the game offers very little backstory or context to go with them, which is a big letdown.

Dead Rising 4 Deluxe Edition fixes some inherent problems

Dead Rising 4 Deluxe Edition definitely lacks the many bugs that the regular Dead Rising 4 game has. The developers must have gone back and patched them since the game was released because the deluxe package doesn't seem to have bugs such as how some enemies were in stasis after spawning. The deluxe version is less likely to crash than if you buy the game on its own. Compared to most indie games, Dead Rising 4 is great, but it is sadly overshadowed by the far superior Dead Rising 2 and 3.
