So if there’s one character you particularly like, you better be careful with them or else you might lose all you invested in them because of a stray feral zombie. Your survivors are also gone for good if they happen to die, with no option to ever resurrect them.

Adding more survivors to your camp means more people to help build and maintain facilities in your base like gardens or watchtowers, but it also means more mouths to feed. You control your selected character and venture around the map looking for food, medicine, and other supplies to keep your survivors healthy and, well, alive. The general idea of State of Decay 2 is that the game is one part zombie sandbox, one part life sim. You can share food and supplies with your neighbors in an attempt to recruit them, but death is always lurking around every corner. The State of Decay titles are zombie survival simulators where you take control of a group of survivors as they try to live during a zombie apocalypse. Well, if that didn’t give it away, the game I randomly picked out of my Steam backlog to play over the last couple weeks was the sequel to a game I greatly enjoyed on the Xbox 360: State of Decay 2. Welcome to Save State, where we are perpetually in a state of decay.
