Whether you skipped the original or you’re a returning fan, it helps to get a fast refresher course on the latest game - the idiosyncratic features are still there, and there’s more you’ll need to know that before. There’s a lot I didn’t fully understand when I first booted up the original State of Decay, and you’ll probably be in a similar state of confusion if you’re diving straight into State of Decay 2. It’s a complicated game that follows its own set of rules, and it doesn’t always fully explain itself. There’s a much stronger survival element here - you’ll need to go on frequent supply runs to keep stocked up on food and medical supplies so your tiny society doesn’t crumble too quickly.
You’ll need to work together with AI allies to build a fortress and defend against the endless hordes of undead at your doorstep. State of Decay 2 is a very different game than your standard zombie open-world sandbox.
