State of Decay 2 Reviews
If you can put up with a game that isn't quite state of the industry when it comes to visual fidelity and performance, there's a fun zombie survival game underneath it all.
A mainly disappointing sequel, with some glitches that hinder the progress and the fun.
State of Decay 2 has some fun additions that can keep things interesting. Just not quite interesting enough (especially when contending with a clutch of performance issues).
Undead Studios' new zombie survival simulation captures both the tension and the monotony of surviving an undead apocalypse
If you play in co-op, you'll probably be able to ignore the flaws long enough to have a jolly evening or two with some friends (Windows 10 friends only, of course) and if you're dead set on rolling around in the blood and gore, I suggest this is how you play it.
Fans of the original game will like State of Decay 2, but others will be unable to look past its numerous technical issues, underwhelming co-op, and ugly graphics.
State of Decay 2 improves upon its predecessor in almost every way. Although the game still suffers from a host of bugs and lacks much of a focused narrative, it succeeds at being a tremendously enjoyable and addictive experience.
This zombie survival game tries hard to stand out from the flesh-hungry crowd, but glitches will leave players groaning
If you can forgive its quirks, State of Decay 2 will infect you like few other games can.
I look forward to continuing my quest to save my little community. I really like the game and if you like open world games with a lot of grinding and running back and forth like i do, I cannot see why you wouldn’t enjoy it. Apart from the visual bugs, I think this game could do well. I hope people give it the chance is deserves.
State of Decay 2 keeps all its promises in terms of gameplay and offers us a real survival experience where the slightest mistake will be punished immediately. The huge play area on offer allows us to express our nosy skills while discovering zombies of all kinds.

State of Decay 2 feels like a pretty run-of-the-mill sequel. It packs in more while refining less.
State of Decay 2 proves to be better than the first chapter in all its aspects, despite the limitations of the new multiplayer mode. On Xbox One it's more weak on the technical side, but the price remains great in all the cases.

Still janky, still fun
State of Decay 2 is a good budget project for fans of games about zombies, now with co-op play. New game has some interesting mechanics and elements, but, sadly, quickly becomes boring. Given that the game is sold at half price, you can try it, especially if you liked the original. But if you are waiting for an interesting story and beautiful graphics, you can safely reduce the score by one point and pass by.

Although there's a very competent core loop and entertaining resource management sim somewhere within State of Decay 2, it's really, really, broken. Unacceptably so. It frustrated me mightily to see a flash of a game I wanted to play, only to be immediately reminded that it's not ready for release.
State of Decay 2 is a decent game, it just needs fixing.
It's the most realistic zombie apocalypse simulation in the world and that's a beautiful thing.
State of Decay 2 is every bit as fun and rough as the first game was in 2013. It feels like a game that would have massively benefited from additional resources during development given its numerous technical shortcomings, but even so, its core (improved in this sequel) remains unique and fun to play, especially with friends. It's one of those titles that can be described as being more than the sum of its parts.
