    Juego que intenta hacer muchas cosas y todo lo hace mal. La progresión de PJs, la gestión de la base, el mundo abierto, los zombies, la conducción... todo mal.

    A mediochre game that would at least serve well for some chilling, ruined by a combination of single save file and death penalty mechanics, in a futile attempt to make it thrilling.

    Boring from start. Very unprofessional voice acting. You may have some fun with friends but generally it is a big step back from first game. Characters to choose from are highly limited. Repeatable gameplay. Crank difficulty higher than normal to have any fun, still loss of time.

Character interaction, story, even the grinding nature of tasks; it all fitted together and worked well in unison.

    It runs poorly and looks like game from 2012. Crashes every so often while the first game never crashed on me. They did not improved anything aside minor changes to animations and graphics, better car system and sound design. Not worth it's money for sure.

    Well I got to the start a campaign and considering this game is meant to be set in the US I find it just a little odd that every character is a person of color, except for that one girl who is in a lesbian relationship.
    Despite accounting for only 13% of the population, people of colour make up 87.5% of the playable starter characters in this game. Talk about over-representation!

    In two words: the game is annoying!

    I've been familiar with the series for a long time, played three parts of the first game and can compare. Each subsequent game moves further away from the plot and more and more descends into a scripted problem generator. Whatever you do you can't avoid the following moments:
    1. Approximately 70% of the game time is night.
    2. Zombies appear around you within sight. And they are able to become very resistant, so that other undead can get to you quickly breaking records on the run.
    3. Maximum stamina pumping can only take 3-4 swings with an ultralight axe.
    4. the Members of your group are absolutely incapable of anything other than portraying terminally ill people. But as soon as you leave the base, they get a thirst for action. Being wounded, sick and tired, they arrange fights, periodically in one haryu devour food for the entire group, roll gasoline, etc. just because they are like this. Apparently, the developers consider this behavior normal during the zombie Apocalypse.
    5. the Neighbors are also wonderful people. They refuse to join you because they are "strong and independent". But after five minutes, these figures will send you a message demanding immediate help. It is you, according to the developers, who should rush headlong to save "friends" who are wringing horse price tags for resources.
    6. a Full tank of the SUV will last you for 15 minutes, of which 5 you will try to move off a tiny rock or even fly through half a map after hitting the most stunted zombie.
    7. Why fix the bug with getting stuck in the examined box (in the box, Karl!) when can I do the "free skill" "I'm stuck!"? A stroke of genius, true professionals.
    And so in everything. Poor graphics, crooked physics, almost complete lack of plot, incredible "tolerastia" in social relationships on the verge of absurdity.    … Expand

You can't even change your name and have to rely on 3 randomly generated people luckily there is a mod simple to use that allows you to make "you" I would not play it any other way at all. So my gripes.
    1. Why can't i sleep and skip time to day/night... I love only playing as one character but they get tired so i have to swap.
    2. Why can only one person follow me? Multiplayer allows 4 people right? Why limit me.
    3. I just noticed you can't have more then 9 people. LOOK i get it is unlikey you have over a group of 9 in a zombie apocalypse but still my friend was playing state of decay and HE HAS 17 people running around his base. Let me have options
    4. Talking about options the game tries to limit you in every shape and form. The game is just so lack luster. The weapons all feel the same. They also feel like reskins. The daybreak mode. THAT IS HORRIBLE. Which they try and force you to play it to unlock new guns and blah, Just seriously. The game compared to the first one is the same. That is the issue, The game is the exact same. Just even more bland. Want a story nope. Also you like a group of people well if you don't drive ACROSS the whole map to destroy a plaque heart screw you. Or wait infestations destroy your morale. I am tucked in the middle of nowhere, and people complain saying there is too many infestations near. THEY are all the way ACROSS the map. That is not our issue at all. Also remember when you could send scavengers to pick up supplies not no more. Unless I haven't unlocked that option. I just hate that I am the only player in my "community" that goes out and collects stuff. your group may grab pills every once in a while but materials or meds? NOPE they will destroy ammo. Use food and never replenish you gotta do that all on your own. Or you can have outposts that will always offer only one food/mat/ammo/ or power or whatever it is just so so so so basic i get it they don't have the money or dev team. It is not a triple a team but come on the people around the world all look the same. The zombies all look the same. The bloaters are just annoying there is no variety of cars. Blah Blah I could go on for hours. I did at the end of the day enjoy some time with the game, "with a mod". Without one I would of just never played it again. However. All I can say is a mod makes the game fun and the dev team couldn't even do what a mod does and that to me is absolutely horrible, state of decay 3 needs to be better, or i will be so much more furious. They would have made money from this game and the first and wasted it. I am guessing it won't be much better. but aye I am done the game is a 2/10. Enough said.    … Expand

    This is one of those games where they made two lists: One where they wrote down all the stuff from the first game that was great or at least good enough to be carried over and improved, and a second one where they wrote down what should be taken out, didn't work and had to be changed.

    And then someone mixed up those lists.

    Even the bugs from the first one are back, and story, missions, management and the whole world feel once again a lot like "Groundhog Day" - but a version where everyone is dead, everything lies in ruins, and there is no way out of the daily busywork that the game loves to sabotage with random "events" the minute you have enough ressources.

    Unfortunately they also forgot that a sequel normally comes with new ideas. Or there was yet another list, and it got lost. We'll never know.

    The only thing they wrote on the wrong list seem to be vehicles, meaning that they were improved and still made it into this game. They really stand out that way - even the voiceovers are worse.

    I think "the walking dead" put a curse on zombies in games. Just look at all the failed surivial games and terrible shooters, and even with a great idea like this one it's one flop after the next.

    Maybe now that Kirkman's epic is over that weird curse will be lifted (it even killed already established franchises like Dead Rising, saw horrors like RE 6, and even success stories like Telltale ended badly).    … Expand

    The it got worse. It didnt support my resolution at all. What is this 2000?. So the pathetically bad quality of a typically horrible console port began. But worse, with a 'get woke, go broke, subtext''. Thank god I could refund it. Not only was it terrible quality, it was also offensive.

    But wait, then I realised that the graphics and gameplay were truly terrible. How was this SoD2. It looks like. 1,1... It was like they were trying to promote a woke ass broke ass agenda rather than make a game. I actually liked the first more despite its limitations. All they had to do was support my PC resolution, update the graphics a bit and if possible, develop the concept.... Oh no, They made a propogandist poor quality game for consoles and basically created a very very lazy PC port, It is a reall really ugly game in every concievable way. From the character creation, it was jarring unrelatable and franky, a bit weird, and not in a good way. They cant promote their agenda hard enough from the first moment.

    Just to further add instult to injury, even when buying through steam, you have to have a LIVE account?. I did not realise this when I preordered to be honest. I should have checked. But as the first didnt suck this hard, I didnt think to check. Another major step backward.s. Though you can create a LIVE burner account through a VPN it probably doesnt help you. In my case, I had to enable services I normally block as well as ports on my network which would normally be blocked.    … Expand

The game grabs your attention right away as you find and begin to build a settlement and level-up your characters.
    However, the game soon devolves into a series of never-ending chores punctuated by mission that roll in faster than can be addressed. And this is when the frustration really sets in. One of the key aspects of the game is managing inventory and survivors. However, when on a mission, you can't switch between survivors without canceling the mission. Want to switch characters because your currently controlled character injured? Too bad. The game won't allow it without cancelling the mission. Oh, and some missions are on a timer, which is kept a mystery to the player. More than once I've been halfway across the map heading towards a mission only to have it time-out, even though no timer was indicated.
    There are other annoying features as well. The game advises the player to take a companion with you, but most of the time they're so brainless, they only serve as a pack mule to help you carry stuff, but you can't switch to their inventory when on a mission. The game also advises you to use explosives to destroy plague hearts, but as you encounter one, your companion runs up to melee the thing only to be knocked back and injured by your explosives.
    And then there are zombies. The game world populates very fast with zombies. And more than a few times I've cleared out an area only to have a massive hoard of zombies magically appear seconds later and attack me.
    But your enemies aren't all zombies. In this game you are constantly battling against bugs. Your driving full speed and suddenly your vehicle hits an invisible object. Sometimes that invisible object causes your ride to catch fire. Sometimes a bug prevents you from exiting the flaming wreck and you die.
    When your character dies, they're gone from the game. That's it. There's not player-controlled save-game feature, so when the character you've spent hours leveling up suddenly dies due to flaws in the game, it's very frustrating.
    The game's title: State of Decay is an appropriate one as it seems to aptly describe this series.    … Expand

    I decided to rate this game at 4. I felt that the first version of the game State of Decay was excellent and fun. I did several playthroughs and enjoyed every one.

    When the DLCs were released something changed. Vehicles drove like tanks, by that I mean not very maneuverable, easily got stuck, were easily destroyed and graphic quality lower.

    When the DLCs were released something changed. Vehicles drove like tanks, by that I mean not very maneuverable, easily got stuck, were easily destroyed and graphic quality lower. Also, very cluttered roads. Its seems they changed the game engine to something of lower quality.

    The pre-release cinematics for State of Decay 2 were very misleading as to the quality of the game.

    State of Decay 2 uses the same engine as the DLCs of version 1. The mission in version 2 are through radio call ins by survivors that need help or enclaves that want to trade. They usually call in clusters. When only one character can be controlled at a time its not possible to do more than one mission at a time, the other mission disappear before the mission can be completed so whats the point.

    Not sure why this game took 5 years to produce. Its just a reboot of the previous DLCs with new maps and some additions.

    I have put in some hours with this game and played about half of the first map. This one being a Microsoft exclusive title, I probably won't be buying anymore from them.

    Update:
    I have decided to uninstall this software without getting 1/3 of the way through it.

    Pros:
    Base building mechanics seem sound

    Combat is good

    Cons:
    No automation such as unloading a truck by parking it.

    Although an area has been cleared, zombies are randomly spawned out of nowhere - what a pain

    Vehicles seem to large for the map and handle very poorly

    Too much clutter

    Vehicle physics are horrible

    Maps aren't balanced in terms of resource amounts - abundant in some, scarce in others - makes for a frustrating experience when your members start leaving because there isn't enough food.

    Too many radio calls for one player to handle - Haven't tried MP but with all the random AHs coming into games, it is a bad idea.

    The zombie apocalypse genre has run its course and this one compared to SOD1 is just too boring.

    Update:
    After about a year the game is better but is seriously lacking. Was this programmed in someones garage?

    1. Graphics are very inferior to today's standards.
    2. Vehicle physics are the worst I have seen in any game.
    3. No safe zones.
    4. Everytime I stop a vehicle to check the map or try to recover from bad vehicle performance, zombies spawn all around it grabbing the doors and ripping them off. The fear factor is not well executed with random spawning being a major annoyance.
    5. Some trees stop the vehicle some don't. Some small trees bring vehicle to a dead stop instead of going over them.
    6. Only one or two bases that support large groups, 10. I have only found one. Why the limit of 10?

    I am getting to the point were I can't stand going into the game after taking a break. The fun factor is 0. I recommend not purchasing unless it goes to the bargain bin for $5.

    As for the MS version that is claimed to be released in the future, it won't get my support. The first game before they changed the engine was fun and had replay value. The current one is total garbage.    … Expand

I find out in a GOD DAM RADIO, I would have miss that if I am not paying attention on the radio. 3. Bug and glitches are way worse that state of decay, cars are flying, my AI companion dropping from the sky, stuck on the wall, the rock, the table, and more. This bugs I am mentioning now are still existed since the 7.0 patch not 1.0 or 2.0 is 7.0!! WTF. 5. Multiplayer is bad and useless, try to find someone to play with and I can find no one. the only place you MIGHT got someone to play with you is the call of duty zombie aka the daybreak mode. 6. The daybreak mode sucks! Except you can hire red talon and great guns with your prestige point there are nothing fun about it. there are no story, no character development, no exploration purposes, no nothing that is related to state of decay title. It is just a mode to hang out with your friends or other player. This game is no where better than the state of decay and that is why this game don't deserve to get a high rating.… Expand

    How do you fail a game where all you have to do is to add multiplayer to the previous in the title to make it legend?
    And Windows store only? Seriously? How stupid can you be.
    As a person who loved the first it is utterly heartbreaking.
    So much fail its almost artistic.

    It's been out for over 6 months now, and now I can't launch it.
    It's the only game/software on my computer that just refuses to launch no matter what I do with it, so I'm forced to give this game a zero.
    Support doesn't even answer so I won't be getting my money back either. That's microsoft for you.
    Needs a steam version badly.

    In State of Decay 2 we got additions that we didn’t even need, while the mechanics that called for changes (such as fighting) remained without any major interference. The game shoves in multiplayer too much, which degrades some parts of the single-player into a digital chore. Eventually, you may not even appreciate, that the game is bigger than the first one.

    State of Decay 2 looks like a totally broken remake of the original game.

    Ultimately, State of Decay 2 has proven a disappointment. Undead Labs laid the groundwork with the original, but it’s failed to build upon this to any noticeable degree. It’s a much prettier, just as buggy, State of Decay 1.5. To some, just having more may be enough, but it would’ve been nice to see them push the boat out just a little bit more. Perhaps they should’ve done that MMO zombie survival game after all...
