    I have this game free on the game pass but they don’t last forever so for $9 I couldn’t pass this up! This game is awesome playing solo or with friends so much to do map is huge! Keeping people alive is a challenge but a very fun game nonetheless!

    State of Decay 2 hasn't changed much in its primary gameplay. There's still an open world of zombies to explore, survivors to protect, and a compound to rebuild. This time, however, the game can be played with up to four friends, which makes it much more fun. Would recommend.

    This game started out as great fun and making one wonder what it would be like to be in a zombie apocalypse. After a few hours though it is the same thing over and over again and I was left not caring about anything. You choose a person and drive/run to a place fighting zombies, you get supplies and come back. Every now and then they present a little "story" for you to take place in but they are left feeling bland and half the dialog is silent and you read the response. Fun for a bit.

    This is a great followup to Undead labs original State of Decay. This time with more types of zombies and the addition of Co-Op. expect some bugs but overall an outstanding game for those who enjoy survival, resource management or good old zombie killing.

    This is a different type of zombie game . It about the survival of a community and how to do it during the apocalypse. This is an upgrade from the first.

    The original release of State of Decay 2 got only so-so reviews because of glitches. Happy to say that almost all of those glitches are corrected when Xbox downloads the updates for it prior to first play. A very addicting game, well done.

    I loved playing through this game even fighting through the bugs. You get 3 different story scenarios based on which type of leader you choose for your community so there is reason to play through it multiple times. Also you have 3 different areas to start and finish communities in. Once you beat one area you can jump to the next and carry over 3 of your best survivors fully stocked with whatever they can carry in their inventory. It is a way to give you benefit in a new game + type of way. The only grips I have with the game is the co-op. The person joining the game won't get much out of playing with you. If you were playing with a friend you would have to do their story arc and then do yours which can be a plus to some but I found pretty annoying. For the budget price its totally worth buying.

    It fills a zombie game niche that isn't really covered in the consoles and i appreciate being able to get this experience on the XB1.
