I never played those games and saw a lot of negative reviews on Steam and I think also here.
Does that patch mean that its worth a try?

I played through the original Dead Island on Linux and loved it. There was one spot that crashed a few times, I got past it by killing the zombies in a different spot. I played through Riptide Definitive Edition on Linux and had zero issues with it.

I think the games are great.
