Some of the execution has more room for improvement than you’d expect from a sequel, but overall it provides a unique, fun, and satisfying gameplay experience.
For those who thought they were facing a more of the same you will have to change your mind: State of Decay 2 is an excellent sequel, which improves the first in all respects.

This post-apocalyptic world effortlessly encourages you to leave the safety of your home and explore just one more area, run over just one more zombie or pick up just one more follower, without drowning you in endless map symbols.
It's quite simple. If you loved the first game, you'll appreciate the changes, like a more structured take on base building and community management. There are fantastic systems, hampered by repetitive and shallow gameplay that ultimately feels pointless. State of Decay 2's scale and lower price don't quite make up for its lack of polish.
When lined up with its predecessor in their respective years of release, SoD2 just doesn’t capture the imagination in the same way but is still worth playing
With State of Decay 2, Undead Labs has realised the potential of the first game. This is very much more of the same, but that same has been polished to a blood-smeared shine.
After extensive testing, we awarded State of Decay 2 due to the low price of 29.99 € and what’s delivered within the game 8 out of a possible 10 points. Very positively is the finally added co-op and the loot system. The graphics are rather negative, which in favor of the performance is well below what we saw in the E3 trailer last year. In summary, State of Decay 2 delivers a thrilling adventure with a high replay ability value and its complex systems, which can be a lot of fun in a co-op.

For addictive, zombie apocalypse simulators, you can’t do better than State of Decay 2.
State of Decay 2 is a lot of fun. Co-op really helps the game's replayability and the number of systems at work lead to some fantastic unexpected moments. The game is still a little rough around the edges, both in terms of bugs and performance, but it's possible to overlook some of the niggles thanks to the overall enjoyable and addictive gameplay.
It could be another survival zombie game, but the sequel for the 2013’s game, remixes known mechanics and core concepts in interesting ways, with a social component that will consume a lot fun of hours when played with friends.

State of Decay 2 is a game with the ability to become exciting the more we play, and that is its greatest quality. Also, by the way, one that many other titles with a greater presence and budget than Undead Labs lack. It is true that it collects, perhaps too much, ideas, mechanics and situations from the first game, but it mixes them again in an original way and very successful almost always.

State of Decay 2 continues in the footsteps of its predecessor, broadening and smoothing out a decidedly winning formula. Although some of the features of the title of Undead Labs have made school (coming to "infect" even unsuspected productions like This War of Mine), the title remains a unique product of its kind. An open world structure and third-person action gameplay blend with role-playing and management elements, creating an intelligent and effective mixture. The real strength of the product, however, lies elsewhere: in the ability to generate an emotional bond between the player and the characters of his community, each committed to surviving the horror by remaining attached to their ideals, their passions, their personality.

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.

The Walking Dead can finally go into withdrawal, because we have received a game in which you can see for yourself how difficult it is to be a hero in a world overrun by zombies.

State of Decay 2 has an impressive open world that comes to life in many ways, but lacks a sense of purpose which makes it boring. It’s a shame the game is filled with bugs because the strategic options are a great way to make play sessions unique.
