    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.

    Mas de 500 horas jugadas, muy adictivo y gran gameplay, las actualizaciones que han ido metiendo le dan cada vez mas vida al juego. Esperando con ansias el 3ro!

    O jogo é incrível, impossível um fã de The Walking Dead não notar as inúmeras referências e inspirações, adoro jogar pra passar o tempo, expandir minha comunidade, explorar, matar hordas, dialogar com outros sobreviventes ou construir coisas pra minha base. O jogo é divertido e só peca em quesitos básicos como um multiplayer limitado e erros de colisão.

    Really one of the worst games ever made. Such a great idea SO badly implemented. Terrible maps that are EXACTLY the same (loot and all) every time. One of the worst AI ever devised. It is so bad that you would think they did it on purpose. The zeds will charge you every time but your helper or the people you meet in the game will just sit there and stare at the zeds till they die.Really one of the worst games ever made.

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. Such a great idea so poorly implemented. Hire some real programmers and developers please, you guys are not it.… Expand

    I enjoyed this game because it can experience a real sense of survival and craft anything to nid for survive.

    This game is so much better now than when it first launched. It has the right mix of looting, base management, and combat. The only downside is how often side quests need to be done and how easily the characters get tired. It's great in terms of replayablity due to the various personal goals you can have in the game, the difficulty settings, and the big updates.

    Fun zombie game with a mediocre story and main objective. The best part about this game was looting the various buildings and finding really cools items such as random guns.

Trying to resupply your base with food got very tedious as you have to walk all the way in your base. It would have been better if other characters you recruited did it for you automatically but had a chance of dying. Overall fun zombie game and some of the best moments were looting places at night.… Expand

    A Narrativa do State of Decay 2 é esquecível , não é o forte do jogo , mas a evolução do 2 para o primeiro , foi na gameplay melhorou bastante , o gerenciamento da base é o forte do jogo simplesmente pegou o primeiro , e melhorou tudo , sinto que perderam a oportunidade de ter trazido mais referencias do primeiro game , é muito legal chega no vale trumball e ouvir a Lile no Radio falando

    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.

    There are some glitches, nothing game breaking that I have found in nearly 80 hours. Addicting gameplay. If you liked the first this one is better in every way.

    Um dos melhores jogos de zumbí que já joguei, apesar dos bugs, mas levando em consideração que é um jogo indie, da pra dar um desconto, garantiu horas de diverção pra mim, viciei na primeira vez que joguei

    Apesar de alguns bugs, o jogo é bem divertido. Ainda mais pelo fato de poder ser jogado em multiplayer, com mais 4 amigos. Você gerencia sua base e ainda tem que destruir os núcleos pestilentos. Recomendo.

    Excellent title, and while the gameplay loop does get a little repetitive, it is one of those titles that you can put up for a few weeks, and then come back to and it's still fun. I'm also a big fan of the fact that the develop is still constantly adding new features and content to the game 4 years later; it's not abandoned after a few months like so many other titles/franchises are.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent game. I saw it on game pass and I'm so glad I gave it a try. A good zombie survival game is the best thing you could get for a game. And the zombie kills are brutal and bloody and not silly and boring, which is what I really liked about it. Great game.… Expand

I'veOne 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. 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

    It's good enough. Killing zombies is enjoyable, driving is fun, sometimes you canceven get an interesting quest. But still the game is quite repetitive. The good thing is that you can cross-play it.

    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

    Mejora la ya notable primera parte haciendo un juego de supervivencia zombi único y retador, un juego obligatorio para todo los amantes de los zombis.
    Lo mejor: La supervivencia zombi.
    Lo peor: Los gráficos se lo podrían haber trabajado mas.

    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.
