The editors liked
The challenge and excitement of getting myself out of a scrape
Learning how not to get myself into so much trouble in the first place
Splatting zeds with cars
Bigger and better than its predecessor
Great at capturing the feel of a nondescript suburb or rural town
Extra tense balancing your need for supplies with the risk inherent to attaining them
Incredible and dynamic simulation gameplay
Visceral and satisfying combat
Dynamic narrative lets you craft your own story
Great value at $29.99 / $9.99 via Game Pass
Some systems successfully convey the demands of a zombie apocalypse
Combat is simple but gratifying
With suitably gory finishers
The expanded range of survivor traits is great
Scavenging runs can feel genuinely rewarding
Intricate systems
Great co-op times
Lots of freedom to experiment
Builds on the successful formula of the first State of Decay with a series of improvements
It's a ton of fun when playing solo and even more so when playing with friends via the new coop option
Nighttime is positively frightening
As it should be in a z
Challenging
In-depth community management system
Satisfying combat mechanics
4-player co-op
The editors didn't like
Flimsy story
Copious bugs
Very buggy
Even at the best of times
Co-op mode feels a bit slapdash and compromised
Can be repetitive
Though that's also sort-of the appeal
Missing attention to detail and polish
Multiplayer implementation is weak
Microsoft
The cloud company
Says no to dedicated servers
So many systems are underutilized
Leading to a distinct lack of depth
A lack of visual themes that makes everything look dull
Numerous bugs that range from annoying to game breaking
Aggressive motion blur that can't be adjusted
Fails to entice you in
Technical issues still rearing their ugly heads
Needs even more explanation of a lot of its systems
Rough from a visual and performance standpoint
Small map for an open world game in 2018
Doesn't deliver that many additions over the first game

State of Decay 2 is a must for anyone on Xbox Games Pass - if you can download this 20GB game for free and try it out for a while, we can't recommend it enough.If the juggling of gameplay, management and sim all come together in a good way for you, it mig...
Abstract: Easy as it is to look at yet another zombie apocalypse survival game and see only the generic elements, State of Decay 2 tries hard to stand out from the groaning, flesh-hungry crowd. Zombies have taken over the world, the desperate remnants of humanity g...
Nicely fettled crafting and skills progression, Great melee engine, Satisfying progression, Good zombie diversity
Lacks a conventional narrative, Occasionally glitchy
Overall, State of Decay 2's unnamed slice of the US is the most seductive zombie-filled game-world we've ever encountered: not because it looks or feels particularly different to any of the zombie games we've played in the past, but because of the way in...

State of Decay 2 isn't a bad game by any means – it offers a deep upgrade system for both your survivors and your base, a variety of zombies, multiple environments to explore and scavenge and more survivors than you can save in a single run, but the bugs...

Tough but gratifying survival gameplay, A huge technical step up from the original, Multiplayer is a valuable addition
Combat's still fairly rudimentary, Tutorials do a poor job of explaining the game's nuances
State of Decay 2 confidently reaches the series' potential as the ultimate zombie survival sim, even if it hits a few familiar bumps in the road on the way there...
There is a great sense of accomplishment as you begin to tame the world around you though, restoring some semblance of safety as you secure and develop your territory. Hopefully, more time with the game will reveal deeper combat and more ways to mitigate...
It's quite simple. If you loved the first game, you'll appreciate the changes, like a more structured take on base building and community management. There are fantastic systems, hampered by repetitive and shallow gameplay that ultimately feels pointless...
