AO International Tennis brings some good ideas and gameplay mechanics to the table, but it's too much focused on shots timing to the detriment of other elements like player movement and placement.

An engaging and immediate future sport simulation, suited to lovers of team play online games.

State of Decay 2 greatly improves on the first game thanks to wider and more varied environments, great world simulation and character progression systems, better graphics and UI and finally a satisfying co-op mode.

Hopefully this will be addressed in the coming months.
