To me this is about a $20.00 game in a perfect world. SoD 2 has some really fun and addicting mechanics but littered with physics glitches and bugs that by no means ruin the experience for me but they do tend to put a damper on the fun factor. The fact that there is a button committed to getting the player unstuck inside of walls, ladders, rocks, etc says it all. Just like the first one, SoD 2 looks good enough when there aren't any frame rate issues but if you have an Xbox one X this game might make you mad that you bought an X to begin with. For me it didn't play much better than the standard version. All in all though I guess I can't complain too much. At least it wasn't $59.99. All in all SoD 2 is a "between game releases game". The kind of game you play while you wait for another game to release. Truth be told I am more disappointed in Xbox than I am undead labs. Xbox aren't doing themselves any favors releasing exclusives like Sea of Thieves, and SoD 2. Sub-par experiences with superb/expensive hardware. Sad day to be an Xbox fan. I know it sounds like I should be giving this game a 3 or something but really it's just ok. If you loved the first one it's definitely worth your time.… Expand

    game is good, but lacks graphics that does not go with xbox hardware, bugs, lots of bugs. Despite all the problems the game is fun. note 6, nothing more besides that.

    The big change for me was that with every save you create you get a different set of characters and a different map meaning if you want to start over it doesn’t feel like boring and monotonous. But after a few hours no matter the save it starts to feel just that boring and monotonous, it feels as if you’re doing the same thing over and over and by the end of it I wasn’t doing things because I wanted to but because I don’t want things to get any worse for my play session hoping it would mean I could do some more things that I wanted to do but that never happened, and after a few hours of the same style of missions you just begin to pray for some time to do what you want to do.
    However, the implementation of multiplayer may combat this issue with friends making it more fun, however I did not play any of the multiplayer and from what I’ve seen it’s not entirely a smooth experience. This is why I haven’t used the multiplayer to inform my score since I see both positives and negatives and without playing it I can’t assess which creates a stronger feeling of enjoyment or distain.
    Another issue is the glitches, they’re bountiful. It’s not uncommon to run into something that is obviously unintentional and it destroys the sense of emersion that is essential for a game designed to give you the chance to act as if you’re apart of this zombie apocalypse.
    Overall, I don’t regret my choice to play the game but I don’t think I would care too much if I missed it entirely. Once again a Xbox semi-exclusive doesn’t compare to the games like Detroit, God of War & Spiderman (from what we’ve seen it seems set to be an instant classic).    … Expand

    I had great hopes going into this game, they were quickly dissolved. The gameplay is repetitive and fails to live up to it's predecessor. It has redeeming factors as a game in it's own right, but it fails to add much new in comparison to the first State of Decay. I wouldn't recommend buying this to much people, unless they're a huge fan of the zombie survival genre.

    A HUGE element of the original state of decay was the perma death, and while its still here, it might aswell not be. People in this game have no personality what, so , ever.... And sure, youll be upset when the die because your morale gets tanked, but the only reason somebody would be upset over a characters death is what they offered to your community. This is because of..........
    Random Generation.
    Ever single character besides your starters are completely randomized, and sure, more replay value, but the original state of decay's survivors actually made me CARE. Every little thing about them is randomized, so unless you like how they look, you would not give a monkeys left nut if one perished.

    General Positives-
    Blood plague, (On dread or higher) is actually quite a challenging yet fun addition.
    Unlike the original, if your car gets stuck, or is flipped upside down, you can just use a radio command, which is a great quality of life improvement.
    Having more than 1 save.
    The sheer amount of content, weapons consumables guns, and the bounty broker.
    Trading, instead of just tanking influence.
    Smooth graphics and animations.
    Outposts granting bonuses, accesesing survivor inventories.
    I always wanted to be a double sided axe murderer.

    Negatives-
    Basically no story at all.
    Plague heats are stupid easy on dread and lower.
    Freaks have no risk what so ever, as compared to the original, they are much easier to take on, (unless they are blood plague).
    Randomly generated characters with no character, as mentioned before.
    LOTS of technical issues, even compared to the original.
    Blood Plague is very easy to cure, and you dont need a high level infirmary, and, you DONT EVEN NEED A DOCTOR!
    Cars barely ever get damaged unless your on lethal or nightmare.
    Content from the first game is completely gone, such as-
    Search And Rescue
    Survey Request
    Ally In Trouble
    Character specific trust meters, in this game everyone is your best friend.
    Cars have 30000 slots.
    Fast searching has no risk, if a zombie or two show up, mash x, and your done. Sure, you could do that in the original, but combat requires more thought, as a zombie can grab you from wherever if they are next to you, now, its if you are directly infront of them.
    Sure there are lots of improvments, with this sequel, but its nothing compared to the original.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    When you imagine yourself in a zombie apocalypse and you have to look for resources, take risks and of course shoot a lot of zombies. You will have all of this but with a very weak story that can take away some of the immersion that the apocalyptic environment will try to give you.

    Single player is fine but not worth $60 for the few upgrades you get over the original. Multiplayer is a broken mess and not really balanced that well at all since they put random limitations in it that get even worse then they bug out. This one's definitely a "wait and pay less for a patched/fixed game later" type of game.

Core mechanics, unfinished maps, and bad bad AI were but a few problems that took way way too long to address. They reached out to the community for help but would outright refuse to fix issues, or incorporate good ideas, based solely on their personal, rather than communities, preferences. Failure to incorporate community requests were largely blamed upon them being a small studio who lacked the resources to accomplish major changes. On the other hand when questioned, because of the aforementioned excuse, about the capabilities of the studio to make an amazing polished successor they are quick point out that they are owned by Microsoft and have their full support...WTF! This could have been gaming gold but it was squandered by inept and juvenile developers who refuse to deliver what the community asked/s for. Instead they desperately hope to entice you into continued gameplay with absurd and gimmicky transmogs that appeal to ten year old Fortnite players and the 50 year olds who design them.… Expand

    Poor mechanics and extreme bugginess turn this great idea into a hellish mess.

These include being stuck in random areas during important fights and cars blowing up because of clipping issues.

    Weak story, you repeat the same things all the time. There is also no excitement, no "horror" and "frightening" feeling. The conversations are weak and non-realistic, there is no vibe and excitement in the character's voices. Graphics are weak, even GTA 5 from 5 years ago is way better.

    This game had so much potential to be truly great and so much fun that it could have been enjoyable for years. But certain aspects of the game have completely ruined it in my opinion. First, fuel runs out in vehicles way too fast. Every vehicle in the game must literally use gallons per mile instead of getting miles per gallon.

But certain aspects of the game have completely ruined it in my opinion. First, fuel runs out in vehicles way too fast. Every vehicle in the game must literally use gallons per mile instead of getting miles per gallon. Second, all zombies should have been just the basic zombie. The developers' obsession with "boss level" enemies/zombies just makes the game too difficult and frustrating at times and ruins the game, especially when all deaths are final and permanent. And the fact that all weapons, melee and firearm, take damage every time they are used is insane. I broke a crowbar after using it against regular zombies maybe a dozen times. In real life, I could hit concrete as hard as I can with a crowbar all day every day and never ever break it. And a pistol I used in the game broke, didn't just run out of ammo, but broke, after only a couple dozen shots. If this game did not have Feral or Juggernaut zombies, guns never wore out, jammed, or broke, ammo was more plentiful, certain melee weapons like crowbars, aluminum and steel bats, and machetes never broke, fuel consumption in vehicles was more realistic for scale distances, vehicles could be repaired automatically when parked in a reserved space at your base if you had a community member with a mechanic skill, and it offered the kind of auto aim option seen in GTA V and GTA Online for non-scoped weapons, and allowed you to look through the scope and zoom in when using a scoped weapon, and you didn't keep getting asked to cover random npcs from other communities in suicide missions, and you didn't need a gardening skill to grow food in a garden, and home base was completely secure with no zombies ever able to get into your base, then this could have been a great game. Especially if it also offered easy ways to upgrade vehicles in the game without requiring a vehicle workshop that I seem unable to even add to my base in spite of having a community member with a 5-star mechanic skill, and a special kit that seems unobtainable.… Expand

    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..

    I really really liked SoD but SoD2 is missing too much and is far to buggy. even after the updates i lost a vehicle and got stuck just running on top of a stack of bricks in a truck at the nursery. my character got stuck inside the small (should have been easy to jump over) bricks.

    Did they even play test this game at all..... the problems i've had already and i literally just bought an x1s and this game... tempted to return both.    … Expand

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    This game was not even remotely ready for release. It's basically State of Decay 1, but this time without any kind of actual story. It's a survival sandbox.

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

    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)
    Do not buy, it is a waste of money.

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. Let's just hope that the creators do some SERIOUS work in the first update... and all the ones after that too.… Expand

    The gameplay is dire and repetitive, I was bored in 15 minutes or less. The gameplay is basically the equivalent of being a squirrel and foraging for nuts in a 200 metre radius.

    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.

    I learned all of this in 30 minutes. I'm never going back.    … Expand

    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

NothingI've played it from its release state to current.

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

    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.

    Weak gameplay, poor gameplay, graphs are bad and zombies have an AI flaw. I did not deserve to be released this kind of game ...

    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

    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.

    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.
