    Not sure what everyone is complaining about. There's as incredible amount of hardcore changes: upgrades and mods for everything, very few cars on my map, you actually need fuel(!), bigger and more complex bases, less supplies, more complex society, more facilities, more weapons, tougher "blood" enemies, better survivors interaction, better societies, other groups standings. Just awesome.Not sure what everyone is complaining about.

Just awesome. It's a shame that there too few changes in graphics and production value is still low, but it is still the best zombie survival game. PS Stuck in the middle of a small town with no gas, and right after my second character was eaten by the horde. That was some stealth, I tell you.… Expand

    State of Decay 2 is an extremely satisfying and unpredictable management simulator, a solid action and survival game. It is better thanks to wider and more varied environments, character progression, better graphics, improved interface. New multiplayer components and strong cooperative help make it stand out from its predecessor

    10 hours in I was in my last car, my settlement had low morale and I drove to the other side of the map to complete a crucial mission. To get there I took a character from my base and also teamed up with another enclave. The hope was to turn things around, make my base happy and grab some crucial supplies, whilst completing a mission, which was needed in order to keep one of my top10 hours in I was in my last car, my settlement had low morale and I drove to the other side of the map to complete a crucial mission. To get there I took a character from my base and also teamed up with another enclave. The hope was to turn things around, make my base happy and grab some crucial supplies, whilst completing a mission, which was needed in order to keep one of my top characters from leaving. Just as I was completing the mission my accompanying base member perished dropping the morale to a further low. The enclave member then perished while we were making a break for a new vehicle ( I ran out of gas). Not to be deterred I hopped in the vehicle, low on energy and injured and headed back to the base in the dark, headlights on. I turned a bend, hit a bloater and the gas killed me. My main character died. Then I respawned at the base taking control of a different member only to find out my second main character had such a low morale that she was leaving. Now only 3 members left, all low ranking, infested and bloaters everywhere. I need to turn this around. I didn't so I restarted the game. Another 10 hours in and I have a bigger base, better characters and avoided a repeat of this scenario by the skin of my teeth. I love this game, fantastic. If you like the first you will love this. A few bugs, but not many on the Xbox X.… Expand

    Game is not as bad as people says, the are overexaggerate the whole thing. Of course there are some bugs, but the game is definetly playable and the whole franchise is not for everyone. People compare this game with God of War which is really really unfair. The hate towards Xbox is getting very stupid now. If you are not sure about getting it, try GamePass. Its cheap.

    Great survival game IMO.

    Lot of the bad reviews saying 0 are a joke, these were before the day 1 patch on the 22nd. Yes there are still bugs present in the game but as far as my personal experiences go I haven't had this kind of fun in a game for a very long time, I love survival games I can play with friends and I enjoy helping them out in sticky situations.

    I enjoy the way exploring works and I enjoy that you can help people when you want to, the game doesn't force you to veer away from the main quests but I find my self setting off to do one of the quests only to find a survivor in need of help, or an Ally becomes under attack. Trading is a great system in the game that actually has meaning unlike many other RPG games where you can basically craft or loot your way to victory. Not saying you cant do this on SOD2 of course.

    Look I'll be honest, I have given it a 10 purely based on people rating it a 0 for a game that has improved since the early access, but at the same time I am comfortable with that rating as I have truly enjoyed growing my colony and giving them my own little backstories haha.

    Please do yourself a favor and give this game a go if you enjoy survival elements, base management, or even 3rd person Action. Caters for a lot of audiences, or go pickup a copy of 7 Days to Die which is a great game too haha    … Expand

    O melhor jogo de zumbi ja feito. Last of us não tem a mesma complexidade e sensação de apocalipse que esse jogo possui.

In this game you arent actually a player.... but a group of players.... levelling matching health etc all have to be done with balance, its also fun to choose whether someone lives or dies.
    I had a ton of fun playing this game.... and see it getting better over time.

    This game is not a 10 but doesn't deserve the scores it's been getting. From what I remember, the original game had tons of bugs but that's sort of what made it fun. What I'm saying is if you liked the first game, you should definitely buy this one. If you never played the first, buy that first to see if you like it. This is basically more of the same which is fine by me.

    State of Decay two is too expensive and too buggy to deserve this rating. However, It deserves better than a 5.3 user score. It's more like a 7. I'm sure it will reach slightly past the first game in ambition after a few updates.

    A brilliant game nothing more to say. Sensual but very eficases mechanics, resource management, extreme tension assured and great design of enemies. If you like zombies, gore, sandboxes, action games, horror, and survival horror, you can play quietly. Now if you are looking for dying ligth or dead rising, this game is not for you. Jugalo will love you.

    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.
