The reviews are coming in, and Undead Labs sophomore effort, State of Decay 2, is getting a wide range of scores. Sitting right now, after 29 critics, at a 68/100, most reports seem to say that there's a lot to love if you're a fan of the first game, but also quite a few bugs that scream SoD2 just wasn't ready for launch. Check out some of the reviews below:
- Destructoid - 8/10 | State of Decay 2's unique approach to survival and management might not appeal to everyone, but it certainly feels like an instant cult classic.
- GamesRadar+ - 7/10 | State of Decay 2 confidently reaches the series' potential as the ultimate zombie survival sim, even if it hits a few familiar bumps in the road on the way there.
- CriticalHit - 6.5/10 | 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.
- Trusted Reviews - 7/10 | Fans of survival sims will likely appreciate the greater attention to detail and increased demands when it comes to sustaining your communities, but for more casual players the constant need to find dozens of items or resources just to keep everything ticking over will just annoy, the longer you go on.
