You can choose who you play as, who you prioritize, who thrives and who succumbs to the elements.
You control a group of survivors who each have their own personalities, desires, and needs. State of Decay 2 is a mish-mash of survival horror and maintenance simulation.
From maintenance to your base of operations to doing supply runs, you’ll spend a lot of your time hoping to avoid the zombies instead of seeking them out. State of Decay is a game that focuses on living through every single day of a zombie apocalypse and dealing with everything that brings. In this game you can definitely kill a lot of zombies, but for a lot of your time in this world, you’ll be focused on surviving at any cost. State of Decay 2 was released in May of 2018 and didn’t exactly offer what the genre had given previously. Most games in this genre are simply about mowing down the undead with a variety of weapons and living through an ultimate post apocalyptic fantasy.
From Dead Rising to Left 4 Dead to Dead Island, there have been plenty of hits and misses. The Open World zombie genre has seen its fair share of interpretations over the last two decades.
