GameSpot review page State of Decay 2 gives an overly realistic feeling of survival after a zombie apocalypse. It is an endless series of days of hunting for food, resources to make weapons, facing the horror of the countless undead wandering around.

The game retains the “people” option at the beginning of the game like the previous part. Each gamer gets to choose 3 pairs of people to start a new life, with a little descriptive information about each person. The plot of each character does not affect the storyline, but it is the player’s choice of people that will determine the place where the game begins.

The choice for the survival group is to fight the development of a disease called Blood Plague. The difficulty of each sub-mission will increase over time, forcing the player to stop and reorganize the team before continuing the action. Some missions force gamers to face hordes of zombies that appear constantly, while the most “convenient” weapons such as burning bottles have almost no effect.

State of Decay 2 significantly adding content to the task of keeping “people” alive, constantly reminding gamers to make gamers feel that they have to spend a significant amount of time to maintain daily life. However, the fact is that the time to perform the task is not long enough to run out of food, gamers only need to hunt for more materials when they need to create something to use. This somewhat wasteful setting makes gamers feel no weight in each decision-making.

The quality of the fights is not as flexible as fighting games, but it is still considered enough, especially with the horrible sound effects emitted by the zombies when the character decides to use weapons. melee weapons. Strong opponents like the Juggernaut are considered interesting highlights.

The number of frames per second often drops below 30. As a result, the freezes are often annoying during the experience. Thunder appears to create effects but in reality looks quite rich and boring. When the character moves, the surrounding image is easily blurred into black spots.
