State of Decay 2 (Xbox One)
Best Action Games of Q2 2018
The original State of Decay was a treat for fans of zombie games, presenting an open world to explore with elements of community management. Now, with the release of State of Decay 2, more players than ever before have jumped onboard, with more than two million players in just the first two weeks.
State of Decay 2 doesn’t make any drastic changes from the first game, but it does layer on a few meaningful advancements. New special zombies have been added into the mix, requiring you to switch up your strategy when encountering them. There’s a satisfying gameplay loop to be found in State of Decay 2, journeying out into the wild to scavenge and find equipment, then coming back and upgrading your base, eventually turning it from a small camp into a dominant power. Be careful, however, as if one of your survivors dies they’re gone forever. State of Decay 2 is bigger and better than the first game, and the game’s co-op makes it an even more attractive package.
