    such a bad game. I would even go to say it's one of the worst games I've played of all time. So many bugs, and such a punishing game, especially when you can't hit any zombies because of a bug. don't buy honestly

    They are calling this a Triple-A title? It's the same as the original State of Decay. You do the same things, over and over. And OMG the Bugs. You are on the most powerful console ever, PS2 graphics? Weird voice acting. I only recommend trying this if you have Gamepass. If you don't have GP save your money. it will $15 in 2 months.

    How could you downgrade this from the first game! I guess it could be due to repetetive gameplay but seriously I regret buying this stupid game. You've lost a fan, zombie labs.

    Many bugs.
    Xbox 360 Graphics in retro is better than this crap.
    The game crashed in a short time.
    Poor content if you compare with the SOD1.
    Only added one new Zombi, disease, cooperative and 4K support.

    Absolute **** hot garbage

    One of the most repetetive games i have played in my life, do thing A, then do thing B.

    Then do thing A and B

    This game has maybe 20 minutes of unique content and that's where it ends, a b s o l u t e l y trash. Don't buy even for 5€.

    Absolutely awful. I hated the previous game due to the lack of story, the tedious missions and how repetitive it was. This is more of the same, but it feels worse and it is a snoozefest.

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

    Other than the occasional bug (which happens in most games). I'm finding it hard to find damning faults with the title.

    If you liked the first its pretty much the same but with a few tweeks. The graphics have improved and the base building/management has expanded further. Its fairly expensive as games go and you can even try it on gamepass on a trial if you haven't already done so.    Other than the occasional bug (which happens in most games).

    Its fairly expensive as games go and you can even try it on gamepass on a trial if you haven't already done so. Coop play needs improvement as rucksack looting for the guest player is not facilitated.

    All in all the game can be challenging but thats to be expected of any survival game. Death is permanent and so thinking about how to approach situations is important.

This game is buggier than a new Bethesda game.

    One of my biggest issues is all the invisible walls. It's an open world, so there's literally no rational reason there would be invisible walls all over the place, but there are. It's not like it's empty unreachable areas the walls are keeping you out of either. There are often zombies or supplies on the other side of those walls. You can often find ways around the invisible wall if you go (very) out of your way to do so. Last time I played I crashed my car into an invisible wall. The car got stuck in the wall and I couldn't get it out. I had TONS of resources in that car and I couldn't even access the back to get them out because the back clipped into the ground.

    Almost every single part of this game is worse than SoD1. The co-op was why I was excited for this. It really failed to deliver. To be blunt, I'm getting real tired of Microsofts crap. The only "decent" games they've put out are Halo 5 and Gears 4. Neither were particularly "good" but I liked them well enough. After this long line of half hearted or outright cancelled games, my friends and I may be moving back to Playstation 4 as our primary console of play. The state of games on Xbox is just sad right now.    … Expand

    -Cars like to get stuck in stupid places.

    -Multiplayer is literally unplayable. Several times tried going into another persons lobby. On the first try the game froze and I had to reset and the other times I bothered trying it wouldn't load at all.

    -No new zombies added, all enemies are the same as the first.

    Once you load into a game, anything that changes(outposts founded, anything is built, doors that were open before you logged in) will not appear. I played the game for 3 hours before I even knew what the medical center looked like because instead of building it for me, the game preferred to just allow the NPCs to float in the air.

    I could not assist any new players because as a visitor in their community I do not have access to a bulk of the menus. It also was not made clear that the store lockers are assigned to the players, not the community. This means that I can hop into others world and essentially steal their loot for my own community, telling them I found scraps instead of being honest about a decent weapon or backpack that I may of actually uncovered.

    This game, even with the current bugs is really fun. However as I've continued to play the game and saw no changes to these bugs to the point that I know what causes them and how to remedy them, it's hard to believe this game was released without knowledge that they are in the game. Releasing a product and charging for the product, knowing the product isn't finished or polished beyond a rare occurrence, cannot/should not receive a score greater than 5.    … Expand

And no matter how i tried to work around the glitch i would completely redo the whole thing all over again three times trouble shooting through my options and to no avail it did it to me 3 times over a week of grinding at the game.. For a survivalist game bugs and glitches are the worse thing to encounter. Because every action has real consequences and if your game is bugging out like this one does on a steady basis and new ones forming as if the bugs are AI your frustration overcomes the simplest tasks and its like the bugs are mutating as the game progresses. I.ve never seen anything like it in all my life. Undead labs you should be ashamed of yourself apparently you need to get your crap together, You need to fire every single one of your beta testers because they don't have a clue to what they are doing.

I give this game so many thumbs down I am returning it back to the game store I purchased it from and I will go against any other title you try to put out they are so many other issues I have gained against you but i will trickle them out as I see fit..

    The game is glitchy as hell, knocking you out of the game even in single player over and over again at the worst times, like while you are driving and then you load in, up the road from your car (it does this in single player as well). To make it worse because of the disconnect and stuttering you can end up totaling a car in the middle of nowhere so that you can enjoy a long hike back to base without the resources you were out collecting.

    Also don't bother taking anyone with you when you go out of base, half the time they won't attack the zombies till they have taken several large bites out of your back stolen your wallet and gave you a swirly. To make followers worse they can be in perfect health and armed to the teeth only to be killed by a foul tempered butterfly. Having said all this, the idea of a good game is in here somewhere, IDK where but it is, but fu*k the NPC **** man at least space that sh*t out a few minutes PLEASE.

    C'est plutôt le cas donc, du moins sur la version "Xbox One X Enhanced", laquelle propose des graphismes relativement satisfaisants pour ce monde ouvert à zombis, le petit développeur étant passé à l'Unreal 4 eu lieu et place du Cry Engine qu'il ne maîtrisait pas du tout.

    Cependant, l'interface générale reste la même ainsi que tous les problèmes du premier jeu, à savoir des mécaniques qui gavent un peu trop rapidement, notamment cet aspect survie très mal fichu et trop contraignant. Il manque en effet toujours de quelque chose alors qu'on se casse le cul à nettoyer au fur et à mesure quelques endroits infestés...

    Il manque donc régulièrement de la bouffe, des médocs, des trucs, des machins et des conneries et les endroits qu'on pourrait revendiquer comme "avant-postes" sécurisés, bah on peut pas parce qu'on ne remplit pas je ne sais combien de conditions à la con... Pareil pour ce qu'on peut théoriquement aménager ou construire dans notre base : il manque toujours des ressources, de la place ou autres conneries à la con...

    Comme dans le premier State, l'inventaire personnel est ultra limité et on passe sa vie à faire des allers et retours pour ramener des sacs et quelques bidules à la base, tout ça pour que ça manque encore et que les autres survivants ne soient là en fait que pour nous casser les couilles avec leur mauvaise humeur (pourquoi le jacuzzi il marche pas ?!).

    Moi aussi, je suis de mauvaise humeur à cause de ce jeu de merde décidément trop merdique et aussi chiant que le premier : tu parles d'une suite...! et deux ans de patches et... tout ça pour ça : c'est toujours de la merde !    … Expand

Algunos puntos destacados:

    - Watch towers no hace nada para proteger tu base, los NPC no dispararán desde ella, sino que bajarán de la torre para pelear contra los zombies.
    - Las paredes son principalmente para miradas: los zombis simplemente treparán para morderte mientras navegas por tu inventario o administras tu base.
    - Las instalaciones médicas mejoradas son decepcionantes, ya que la peste de la sangre es una mera molestia (los ingredientes son demasiado fáciles de obtener, demasiado indulgentes si se infecta).
    - "Área segura permanente" alrededor de la base y puestos de avanzada como se indica en el juego es una broma.

    2) Se suponía que los enclaves (o comunidades de sobrevivientes de NPC) agregaban profundidad al juego al permitir a los jugadores formar relaciones beneficiosas con ellos (a través de la asistencia) o proporcionar conflictos si se vuelven hostiles a su comunidad. Pista: no lo hacen.

    - Los grupos de NPC están ahí para rogarte constantemente ayuda como un grupo de bebés llorones indefensos. En el momento en que no los ayude UNA VEZ, empacarán y se irán, incluso si previamente los ayudó.
    - Estás constantemente abrumado con MÚLTIPLES solicitudes de varios grupos de NPC y no podrás llegar a todas a tiempo antes de que caduquen.
    - Los grupos de NPC no crecen / se expanden ni conducen a historias secundarias más interesantes.
    - La recompensa por ayudarlos es mínima en el mejor de los casos. (influencia agrícola + el recluta extraño)

    3) La historia es un festival de repetición. No lo estropearé aquí, pero solo implica hacer la búsqueda tutorial y luego plagar corazones una y otra vez por un número determinado de veces + una misión heredada (se le asigna uno (de 4 posibles) según el principio de su comunidad líder). El juego literalmente termina una vez que finalizas la misión heredada. Eso es. De Verdad.

    - Muchas misiones secundarias recicladas (por ejemplo, ¡las mejores letras de canciones jamás escritas por npc A al azar!).
    - El trabajo general se vuelve aburrido rápidamente. Nadie en tu comunidad quiere trabajar, siempre serás el tipo que trae los recursos a casa, todos los demás simplemente se sientan en la base y se quejan de cosas, o te sabotean activamente destruyendo recursos en tu arsenal.
    - USTED debe eliminar las infestaciones, todos los demás grupos de sobrevivientes son solo para mostrar.
    4) Errores en abundancia - ¿Atrapado en la pared? comprobar. IU desapareciendo? comprobar. ¿Física extraña que hace que tu auto haga acrobacias después de golpear una barandilla? comprobar. ¿Cámara apagándose? Comprobar. ¿Zombis invisibles que aún pueden masticarte la cara? Comprobar.

    Hay demasiados errores para enumerar. Y aún no hemos comenzado con los errores multijugador todavía. Basta decir que algunos de tus mejores momentos en este juego serían reírte de los errores. Y si me piden que califique su juego en el menú de inicio una vez más ...

    5) Hay muchos otros problemas con este juego para enumerar aquí. Los personajes planos con líneas aburridas sonoras, la mayoría de los zombis se ven iguales, las escaleras se niegan a registrar a tu personaje la mayor parte del tiempo, así que disfruta cayendo a tu muerte a pesar de presionar w como el juego te pide, etc.

    Resumen:
    Evita esta estafa por ahora. Los fanáticos están ocupados enterrando la cabeza en la arena y gritando elogios por esta basura SOD 1.5 que tardó CINCO años en hacerse. Ignórelos: es realmente revelador cuando lo único positivo que la mayoría de ellos puede decir es "si te gusta SOD 1, te encantará SOD 2". Jajajajaja por favor.

    Quienes lo defienden solo lo han jugado en gamepass y pues es obvio ya que este juego raspando cuesta 1 euro.    … Expand

    This game is a tremendous letdown for any Xbox owners starving for exclusives. The game runs and looks GOD AWFUL and the multiplayer “co-op” is nothing more than one person progressing while the others simply help out. It’s garbage. The motion blur makes this game look like a Mr. Krabs “woah” meme.

    Bug ridden and repetitive game-play loop. Many of the inbuilt systems in the game end up being meaningless or just poorly executed.

    1) Bases are simply just a glorified storage locker + craft station. The developer does not understand the desire for players to create an oasis (which they can fortify via their own efforts) while surrounded by deadly zombies. Some highlights: - Watch    Bug ridden and repetitive game-play loop. Many of the inbuilt systems in the game end up being meaningless or just poorly executed.

    1) Bases are simply just a glorified storage locker + craft station. The developer does not understand the desire for players to create an oasis (which they can fortify via their own efforts) while surrounded by deadly zombies. Some highlights:

    - Watch towers does nothing to protect your base, NPCs will not shoot from it, they will climb down from the tower to melee the zombies instead.
    - Walls are mostly for looks - zombies will simply climb over it to chew on you while you are browsing your inventory or managing your base.
    - Upgraded medical facilities are underwhelming as blood plague is a mere nuisance (ingredients too easy to get, too forgiving if you get infected).
    - "Permanent safe area" around base and outposts as stated in game is a joke.

    2) Enclaves (or NPC survivor communities) were supposed to add depth to the game by allowing the players to form beneficial relationships with them (via assistance) or provide conflict if they become hostile to your community. Hint: They don't.

    - NPC groups are there to constantly beg you for help like a bunch of helpless whiny babies. The moment you fail to help them ONCE, they will pack up and leave - even if you previously helped them.
    - You are constantly swamped with MULTIPLE requests from various NPC groups and you won't be able to make it to all of them in time before some of them expire.
    - The NPC groups do not grow / expand or lead to more interesting side stories.
    - The payoff for helping them is minimal at best. (farming influence + the odd recruit)

    3) Story is a snooze-fest. I won't spoil it here but it just involves doing the tutorial quest and then plague hearts over and over for a set number of times + a legacy quest (you get assigned one (out of 4 possible) based on the tenet of your community leader). The game literally ends once you finish the legacy quest. That's it. Really.

    - Many recycled side-quests (e.g. the greatest song lyrics ever! written by random npc A).
    - General busywork gets boring quick. Nobody in your community wants to work, you will always be the guy bringing home the resources, everyone else just sits at base and complains about stuff, or actively sabotage you by destroying resources in your stockpile.
    - Infestations on must be cleared by YOU, all the other survivor groups are just for show.

    4) Bugs aplenty - Stuck in wall? check. Disappearing UI? check. Weird physics **** that have your car doing acrobatics after hitting a guard rail? check. Camera glitching out? Check. Invisible zombies that are still able to chew your face off? Check.

    There are too many bugs to list. And we haven't even started on the multiplayer bugs yet. Suffice to say some of your best moments in this game would be to laugh at the bugs. And if they ask me to rate their game on the start menu one more time....

    5) There are many other issues with this game to list here. Flat characters with boring voiced one liners, most zombies look the same, ladders refusing to register your character most of the time so enjoy falling to your death despite pressing w like the game ask you to etc etc.

    Summary:
    Avoid this steaming pile of dog**** for now. The fanboys are busy burying their head in the sand and screaming praise for this SOD 1.5 crap that took FIVE years to make. Ignore them - it's really telling when the only positive thing most of them can say is "if you like SOD 1 you will love SOD 2". Hahahahaha please.

    Zombie games are a tired concept now, it is unfortunate that Undead Labs screwed this up so badly. We may never get a decent GTA + base building sandbox zombie apocalypse game. Sigh.    … Expand

    The game itself is repetitive, have poor combat mechanics, bad animations, graphics looks outdated, little to no story elements, coop is poorly implemented and the base game is not even close to be worth 30$ which they are charging it for (and defiantly not 50$ for the deluxe)

    For the past two console generations, zombies have been the go to for many games, with attempts to reinvigorate the genre by offering new concepts to an oversaturated market.

While many of these are great games or fun modes, it gets to the point where they all feel the same. When the original State of Decay was released, it was a mixed bactch of old and new mechanics that worked well, but overall was a flawed experience. The one thing that it got right was death: when your character died, there was no reloading a checkpoint to try again - the character and any of the precious items they were holding were gone. You were then given the option to take over one of the other survivors in your encampment. The settlements were one of the things that made the original unique but was a double-edged sword, as the settlement required so much attention that you rarely had time to go out and explore the game world or scavenge for supplies.pres

    All in all, the sequel paints a much prettier landscape to explore, but many of the other lingering issues remain. The settlements in this are almost as annoying as Preston Garvey requesting your assistance with a settlement in Fallout 4. Any time I ventured outside of the base, I was told that it was under attack, often meaning I would have to scramble back to avoid a catastrophic loss, which I experienced early in the game on my initial playthrough. Playing the game in co-op is a nice change, but you are required to stay within a close proximity to the host. Allowing you to have one or two of your comrades stay at the base to keep it safe while you and your optional fourth friend scavenge would have been a more ideal situation, but the opportunity for this was passed up. I'm not sure if co-op was an afterthought, but in addition to this limitation, your character will not gain any progress towards their own game when helping out a friend.

    Like I mentioned previously, the visuals have been greatly improved, especially the open world. The outdoor aspects are on par with many of the AAA open world titles on the market today. Sadly, the same cannot be said about the interior spaces, which often appear flat and lifeless. You'll also come across many rooms or garages that are carbon copies of the house you were just in minutes before. Since repetition is a huge part of this game, the zombie models are limited as well, with hoards of the same zombies lingering about. While they move well, the visuals accompanying the head-shots are simply dreadful, with the heads popping as if they were nothing but helium filled balloons. I have played and enjoyed games with visuals this bad, if not worse, but it doesn’t help with immersion.

    The general control scheme works well, although the lack of direction in the game world as well as the building mechanics makes this title highly inaccessible. During the opening mission, I spent well over a half hour simply trying to find where in the base to drop off the mission specific item I was sent to retrieve. Much like the original, the story mode consists primarily of never ending fetch quests, or going out to search for other settlements to potentially bring into your own. What do the new settlements want, you ask? You can always expect an assortment of fetch quests. I also found it rather startling that while they asked me to go find food, they didn't care that I stole their food sitting out in their camp - not even a harsh word is said.

    While the co-op can be satisfying, the overall package and lack of progression make this feel like a self-published release and far from the standard Microsoft has been known for. After the failed release of Sea of Thieves you'd think they would learn their lesson, but at this point it's easy to see why they have been releasing their mediocre first party games for free via the Game Pass subscription service. If you're like me and are a Game Pass subscriber, it's worth a go for a few hours of entertainment, but I would strongly recommend not paying full retail price for State of Decay 2.    … Expand

    The in game character dialogue is absolutely THE worst I have heard in a game since I can remember. You can hear a ton of weird crackling pops and whoever has plugged the audio into the game should be shot, its not hard to know how long a pause at the end of a sentence should be. Id go out here and say it reminds me of the dialogue in Resident evil 1. Hell even the dialogue in some PS3 games was better than this.

    The graphics are seriously behind what is expected from a big title nowadays and the map isn't that big. Theres not a lot more to say about that apart from the 'lol enhcnced for xb1x' - you could run this on a PS3 fine if it wasn't optimised by chimps.

    This title disappointed me more than Destiny 2, and that alone deserves its own award. I am sick of buying poor but reasonably well marketed titles. And the fact this game took 5 years to make is just embarrassing.

Weapons are far too brittle and there is no clear way of repairing them (even though there is a facility for that, it does nothing atm.) Broken and damaged weapons state in their state indefinitely. The trend of being unable to stop, dodge, or attack and oncoming zombie yet lingers. And if the weapon brittleness isn't enough to frustrate, LACK OF SPACE MANAGEMENT!!!! When in a storage garage set as a sleeping area, it has enough room to fille it with enough for a true barracks. Six at least some areas are Ten, and yet the designers felt the need to fill this areas with only THREE fracking beds and an underwhelming amount of available Outpost slots. Further more, you have facilities that can stock you with food, gas, and meds, but none for ammunition or materials. OH the imbalance! And even these facilities are lackluster and nearly worthless. Overhaul is needed desperately in this game. State of Decay 2 is fun for the first 30 minutes of game play until all of your efforts to supply your people with insufficient amounts of resources, dealing with an infuriating amount of Mission and needy quests (that prevent significant progress), Randomly Spawning Zombies, and a staggering number of bugs ruins the game for you.

    A character creator even a basic one is a staple in games these days... vary rarely do games not have a character creator and tell a decent story. It is sorely needed and one of very few things i thought was missing from SoD. The base building is almost the same... except more options and mods.. it needs better options not more... reinforce fencing, expand area... herp a derp???

    Larger bases or expandable bases would have been better... more defense options would have been nice.. not even 5 hours in and im getting sieged by zombie hordes every 30 minutes. all i did was build the basics, pharmacy water catch, watch tower oh and removed garbage and fixed the master bedroom. How is that 2 of 3 bars.

    Nothing i/we built makes noise... the lookout tower upgraded to level 2 even..nothing makes noise... its not like we have flood lights thanks to good ol electricity.. one of the mods is a generator adding electricity if you refuel it to an area of your base....

    SoD allows to you just grab a vehicle and go... SoD2 you need gas for cars and repair kits...... its very tedious early and a waste of inventory space later. i did not want to micro manage every single aspect of a human being.... breathing... its to much micro managing... food, medicine, ammo, salvage... that was what you needed in SoD, now you need water and electricity, gas and some other bs.. oh and cars are much fewer all carry 5-6 items/sacks.

    this game just feels really rushed... Haven't they been working on SoD2 for about 4 years now? Wth happened? the blood plague was just a bad **** idea... it gets a bit ridiculous..

    No way to pause the game, graphics are okay at best, many glitches and bugs, multiplayer is broken, no real campaign, repetitive game play, no real challenge in combat, not a fun experience with all of this.

    What the hell is going on with Microsoft? They barely put out any 1st party exclusives and when they do they are mediocre AT BEST. At least this game has more to do than sea of trash.

    Too repetitive, not a AAA game and the multiplayer, which should have been a selling point, is garbage. I am incredible disappointed in this game.

    repetitive and boring without a sence of progress almost the entire game until you realize what to do becuse the game wont tell you and still after knowing it is actually nothing good to be honest, the first one was way better and with a story to follow

    I've played it from its release state to current. The game is still very buggy, has no story, horrible vehicle driving functionality (nothing like you’d expect in this decade), and has beyond tedious game play. To make matters worse, they added constant spawning of zombies every few seconds. You can kill every zombie in sight. Then turn you back and 3 more will magically appear.

To make matters worse, they added constant spawning of zombies every few seconds. You can kill every zombie in sight. Then turn you back and 3 more will magically appear. Nothing about the game is difficult, but it does succeed in being annoying with these mechanics. The devs take forever to release an update/patch to correct things, and when they do, they bring in new bugs. Makes people wonder if the devs even play the game they designed.

    The game had a lot of potential but failed in just about everything. And that includes the 15-year-old graphics. SOD1 was much better in just about every aspect. The only thing SOD2 brings to the table is the option to play indefinitely, which you couldn't do in SOD1 since there wasn't any way to generate enough of all needed resources.

    Your typical game session is- Get a call from an enclave (since everyone but you completely incapable of doing anything), drive over to them, accept their demand (which is asking for something), drive to said location on the map that contains what they want, then drive back to them and deliver it, then go drive back home. Your vehicle will either get stuck or flip at least once) spin out a bunch of times, and you’ll need to refuel the at least once car every round trip. All while zombies magically appear and a horrible "glare" effect is occurring on the car. By this time an infestation should appear that you should go clear. If not, your people will start complaining, lowering moral. Outposts are almost pointless as they don't do much.

    Multiplayer is basically you just helping the host do their thing for their base, then disappearing. It can be fun as well but it's not a true multiplayer world. And there is a lot of loading too. Load into your game, then loading to find someone, and finally loading into their game. If you quit or get disconnected, you get sent back to game menu. Then you will have to load back into your game again then start the multiplayer loading(s) again.    … Expand

Not Forza, Halo, or Gears, but these trash developers who no one heard about--coming from a die hard Xbox fan. The game is one of the buggiest most unfinished pieces of crap, you can tell it was made by talentless people--aka undead labs. I've seen modders do better jobs than these full time humans. Repairing cars literally flings them in the air and they helocpoter in the air for 5 seconds before blowing up, or my favorite one where they slide across the ground on their side and smash and blow up instantly when it touches a wall, this has been in the game for 4 years. Text bugs are also frequent and were only recently fixrd with juggernaut edition. Looking at their resume the only game they (Undead labs) ever made is State of Decay, which both of them (1 and 2) end up being garbage, but especially 2. If you paid for this game you got scammed, if you got it with gamepass your time got scammed, only good for achievements or playing with friends/modders, every thing else it is a mess. Driving is terrible but the only way to traverse, car gets stuck every second and you get punished with being swarmed by zombies (even WORSE on harder difficulties), unstuck command is so useless you might as well leg it out of the car if it gets stuck. it takes 10 seconds to use, you have to be still (enemies will drag you out your car), and has a cool down. Ally AI is terrible and a joke unless it is enemy humans then they become OP (they will insta one shot you on harder difficulties, you have to shoot them dozens of times to kill them or headshot them multiple times). The spawns are terrible and zombies will render in on your screen last second, even worse when bloaters or entire packs spawn on your car and damage it or near insta kill you on harder difficulties, some how rendering is even worse on Series X. Overall terrible game. Buggy, laggy, crashes around clusters of plague hearts, TERRIBLE driving (only way to traverse), god awful enemy spawning, and nothing redeeming. No out of world soundtrack, absolutely no story, no character development. For a game lacking so much it is a surprise these terrible devs still could not muster any talent or usefulness in the few areas you can tell they 'tried', 5 years of their legacies down the drain making a forgetabble mess that became apart of the "Xbox has no good games" meme. One of Xbox Studios throw away talent. If state of decay 3 is good its because Microsoft is actually getting more involved with undead labs due to how terrible their games are and providing them a triple A budget. Developers who are so talentless (Fallout new vegas driving mod is better than this games driving) even Microsoft knew they had to get involved and give them a bigger team because they cannot even make a simple game by themselves. It has been 4 years and none of these issues are fixed. Just extra 'content' no asked for, like recently they decided to finally give you a secondary weapon, something thousands of games done before and they finally, after four god blessed years, mustered enough brain cells to implement something a literal higschool CS student could code.… Expand

    Despite what you hear from Microsoft or other sources: This is not a AAA title. It might have been in 2012. I usually don't reduce games to the graphics, but if a title is advertised as THE exclusive savior of the platform with AAA quality, I simply expect more and not outdated graphics.

It might have been in 2012. I usually don't reduce games to the graphics, but if a title is advertised as THE exclusive savior of the platform with AAA quality, I simply expect more and not outdated graphics. AAA are games like Horizon Zero Dawn. With an experienced and resourceful developer. Don't get me wrong, I love my Xbox, but with exclusives like this, the platform is doomed. After the desaster around Scalebound and the how-can-we-put-as-little-content-as-possible-in-a-game Sea of Thieves, the platform lacks the AAA exclusive games.
    However, this review is about State of Decay 2 and not Xbox as a whole. So why did I return my copy to the store after 15 hours of gameplay? It's the classic problem with "open world" games that are advertised as being diverse in terms of content. The game gets repetitive really quickly and even after a few hours I was not immersed into the game. The reason for this might be the annoying bugs I encountered (indicator why it's not AAA) as well as the already mentioned underwhelming graphics.

    I can have fun with titles like Minecraft or games that focus on their art style (Okami). But when being promised a high quality game in 2018, I don't expect 2012 graphics. If you don't believe me, look at footage of this game and then compare it to other "big" titles. The price is not justified for how the game is performing in terms of story, bugs and graphics. It hurts to admit it, but this game damaged the Xbox platform more than it helped.

    Don't buy this game.

    Sincerely, a disappointed Xbox fanboy.    … Expand

    The game is 0 points. Because it bothers you very quickly, it does not make sense, there is little content, stupid enemies, stupid tasks. But the price tag is like a good AA game. Lags at first on consoles. Another trash from Microsoft.

    Graphics are not his gen at all, the world is empty and dull and visuals are just not impressive for this gen, if it looked last gen but ran at 60FPS it would be fine, but nope its a 30fps game. The games has less bugs than the first, less, the first game was literally unplayable with bugs, so yeah there is less.
    One of the most annoying thing is the characters. SOD1 had actually interesting characters, there was some attractive girls as you would want in your end on the world zombie fantasy and many side stories and charters you ended up interested even caring about.
    The Character in SOD2 are just crazy bland, there stories are the most uninteresting bunk you could imagine, find tools and record players, crap like that. And most imitating more offensively is they have clearly gone with "Averting of the Male Gaze" thing woke developers love these days. Making every female character just plain ugly and completely unappealing, so as not to appeal MEN!! MEN the main supporters and consumers of their product, they set out to not appeal to them!!!! Many men in the game are very attractive, so they know how to model and make faces, just decided their male fan should only get uggos in their survivor fantasy.
    Overall the game is a hard pass, there a few interesting hours at the start as you learn the game, but then quickly become a chore as the whiney ugly woman contact every 30 secs to demand something.    … Expand

My favorite one they never fixed is your fellow survivor will get out of the car and not have his weapons on him. So he will just stand there and shoot a non existent gun while you are dying to the horde. Their new update with the plague hearts being dormant until you drive by once and then they awake is horrible. Infestations are a joke to clear now, one crossbow shot and it is money in the bank.

    Innovations in State of Decay 2 don´t solve any problems, but rather add some more. The game unnecessarily forces on its multiplayer and feels very impersonal. [Issue#287]

    State of Decay 2 is going to be very hit and miss for a number of people. If you can ignore the flaws, there is a fun game to be had when played with a friend. That said, even if you ignore its flaws, you can’t deny that this game was not ready for release.

    Generally State of Decay 2 looks more like a remaster of the original game than a true sequel. It just does not expand the formula enough and still contains too many repetitive activities that make you go through the motions for the sake of getting it done. That’s why I recommend playing it in short sessions. I have no doubt that people unfamiliar with the first State of Decay will enjoy the second one much more, as everything will be new to them.
