reddit State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition Review

Meanwhile, your community has five different resources that need to be managed to keep everyone from falling into the depths of depression.

Worse, they could be turned into one of the shambling flesh-eaters that litter the countryside. Every survivor you control is unique, with different skills, backstories, needs and wants, hopes and ambitions. In State of Decay 2, you control a human enclave: A community of survivors trying to make a new life in the wake of the undead apocalypse.

You’ll also tell stories in the real world, of the numerous, ridiculous bugs you’ve encountered that threaten to ruin your fun more than any zombie ever could. The stories of the people who make up the community you manage, the tales of other survivors you encounter, and the legends that you’ll make for yourself as you cut across the less densely populated rural towns – safer than big cities full of the undead – that you call home. State of Decay 2 is also a game about stories. It’s all about learning how to stay alive in the face of the post-apocalypse. It’s less about the lopping off of limbs, perfect headshots and gruesome finishing moves – though they’re all present. Sure, the small towns you’re trying to scavenge your way through are filled with hordes of the undead, and they’re its raison d’etre – but it’s a game about survival. State of Decay 2 isn’t really about the zombies.
