Yet for one gamer at least – the whole experience was enthralling and promised great things to come in survival gaming. SoD was unpolished, the story underwhelming, the characters formulaic and one-dimensional. Set in a rural American wastela… err heartland, it was as if GTA and Left for Dead had a lovechild in post-apocalyptic Montana. To review the experience in short, it’s a passable third-person survival sim with combat, driving and base-building elements. In light of recent global events, perhaps there is something to be said for surviving, or at least trying to survive, a viral catastrophe with those nearest to you. Take for example State of Decay: something that seemed like a forgettable zombie game first published back in 2013.
State of Decay, released on Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows in 2013 & State of Decay 2, released on Xbox One and Microsoft Windows in 2018, both developed by Undead LabsĮveryone has that middling-reviewed, otherwise forgettable game that inexplicably hooked them.
