Of note is how rare it is to encounter more than 3-4 zombies at once compared to the larger crowds of the first game. Combat, driving, and looting haven’t changed dramatically. The game might give you goals to complete, but everything from that point on, from how you get there to the enemies you’ll face, is up to you.Īnyone who played the first State of Decay will be familiar with the basic gameplay here. State of Decay 2 is full of organic moments like this.
I quickly dispatch the rotters, head to the main house to take what I can carry from the chief’s belongings, and head home before morning.
All seems lost until I remember the uzi I picked up earlier. The shambling corpses shuffle into the confined space to feast on me. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, my actions alerted the horde I was trying to avoid. My first stop on the chief’s property is a tool shed that I search for supplies. I see a horde of a half-dozen zombies in the distance but stay on the main road to avoid them. As night falls, I decide to head to his abandoned home on foot. Just as my outpost is struggling to survive against the undead hordes, I remember a police chief who used to live nearby.
