I was going to write a zombie poem about this game. However, this game is no longer sold and no one will see this review... Damn you Xbox "Game" Studios.
Barely played. Coudldn't keep any interest for me.
It's not bad enough to hate. But it's too outdated to matter... There’s really no reason to play this version of State of Decay in 2025. This is the original 2013 release, not the Year One Survival Edition, and while it laid the foundation for what became a much better sequel, most of what’s here now feels like a rough draft. You start the game and, sure, it opens strong. You're tossed into chaos with zombies everywhere, and there’s a surprisingly structured story that unfolds through early missions. The basic loop is here: scavenge buildings, manage inventory, build a community, fight off hordes. If you've played State of Decay 2, you’ll recognize a lot of these systems instantly. But that’s also the problem. Everything this game does, the sequel just does better. Combat gets the job done, and headshots still feel great. But enemy behavior is basic. Stealth and cover systems are awkward, and the UI often feels clunky or unclear. Lighting is overly dark even in daytime, ...
