    I really enjoyed the original State of Decay, but the only enjoyment I received from this game was talking to Microsoft Support and getting a full refund. When i tried to start the game, the State of Decay 2 logo would show on screen for 1 second and then disappear with nothing else happening.

When i tried to start the game, the State of Decay 2 logo would show on screen for 1 second and then disappear with nothing else happening. After 8 hours following support suggestions, other solutions found online, and reinstalling twice, nothing had changed. To the people at Undead Labs and Microsoft Studios, I understand that new games can be buggy, but this is not buggy it is broken. I wouldn't buy a new car without a transmission, but the promise the manufacturer was working on it, so I won't wait for this to be fixed. You don't get my money if I don't get a working game, I don't care if you are "looking into it/ working on it." Expand

    Won't even let me play. Awful. My brother and I both bought this game. After waiting for it to download, we loaded it up on both Xbox's.

Absolutely ridiculous that they would release this game in the state that it's in. I might be able to write a decent review on the actual game play, if either me or my brother could actually play the game that we just spent $30 on. Nothing but a waste of time and money, both of which I wish I could get back. Unbelievable. Expand

    o jogo veio quebrado, é divertido nas primeiras 2 horas mas depois se torna repetitivo e sem graça, os gráficos parecem de xbox 360 mesmo no xbox one x, Mais um Flop pra coleção da Microsoft LuL

    I am going to make this quick and simple. State of the decay was by far one of my most favorite games. But never in all my 30 plus years as a gamer have I ever seen so many bugs, glitches and good lord some of the crap in this game i cant even label. It got to a point that I was at the end of the game and it would glitch on me and would not let me finish my task. And no matter how i triedI am going to make this quick and simple.

It got to a point that I was at the end of the game and it would glitch on me and would not let me finish my task. 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. You have lost me as a dedicated gamer to your title and every other person I know that owns the game are having the same issue even after your update that only fixed some major issues. 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.. P.S Not at all worth the money it was purchased for the game isn't even worth 5 dollars. Close your doors Undead Labs 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.

    1) Las bases son simplemente un armario de almacenamiento glorificado + estación de artesanía. El desarrollador no comprende el deseo de los jugadores de crear un oasis (que pueden fortalecer a través de sus propios esfuerzos) mientras están rodeados de zombis mortales. 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.

    La peor basura que eh jugado, menos mal que es exclusivo para Xbox one; porque no hubiera sido una buena idea haber frustrado a los usuarios de Ps4 con este "Juego". Además que tiene animaciones y contenido muy mediocre y lleno de errores.

    There are so many bugs! The original may have even been better. The game play is the same but worse.

    One of the worst games ever to be exclusive to platforms, when people mention the pathetic exclusives Xbox has it is definitely games like this. 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.

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.

    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.
