Overview
State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition is a post zombie apocalypse, open world survival game. Yes, I know that this genre has titles in abundance, but this game truly differentiates itself from the rest of the crowd. If you are looking for a game that offers an experience like what you would have imagined from a Walking Dead action game, then this is probably the title for you.
All about the game
Like a Walking Dead game not by Telltale
That would be an apt description for this game. The Telltale games were more about a story told that was set in the same world as the Walking Dead series, but this is a game where you experience being in a similar world. State of Decay is also a sandbox game. Yes, you can do missions, but at the same time you can run off and explore the world, build up your home base with other survivors, and go looting while fighting off horde of zombies that are after you. There is a semi-decent story, but that is not what this game is about at all. You will have a lot more fun by just going around and doing whatever you want. Another thing that makes this game enjoyable is that it is fairly casual compared to other hardcore survival games. So, if you just want to lay back and enjoy this game, you can do that without feeling like you have to be putting in more effort to succeed in the game. The game even also has a simplified inventory system, which can be both a good and a bad thing. For those that are looking for that little bit more immersion or hardcore experience, you may be disappointed by this system, but then again this shouldn’t be the game that you are expect a hardcore experience from.
Hack and Slash
The game has a variety of melee weapons as well as some guns. One thing that ensures that the experience is casual and still fun is that even if you don’t have ammo or a gun, you can always do well with melee weapons. It results in the game feeling very Hack and Slash like. For people that don’t like that kind of experience, they can always stick to the guns. In doing so, it caters to a wide variety of players.
It’s Clunky…
There are a couple of negatives that can be a turn off for some people. The big one is that sometimes the controls feel clunky on keyboard and mouse, but this isn’t an issue when playing with controllers. Also, the inventory can feel a bit too casual. Items have a weight value, which affects your movement. Yet at the same time, every single item takes up the same amount of inventory space, which feels a bit out of place. All in all, I can’t complain too much about these issues; as mentioned before, the game is meant for a casual experience.
Is it worth it?
If you are looking for a Walking Dead like experience, but with a lot of fighting zombies, then this is the game. Although this does not have the IP or any of the actual Walking Dead experience, this is the closest thing to that experience. It is also very casual friendly and caters to a wide variety of players. In addition to that, the base game is available in the Year One Standard Edition, which is similar to a GOTY Edition. You get the base game along with two DLCs for a lower price! The DLCs are great, and will surely add to your experience.

Great game, open world, survive, create a community and join other survivors, as well as to use their unique abilities in completely different situations, not only during the fight against opponents. In addition, we can issue orders to our charges, and their performance will be dealt with by artificial intelligence.

State of decay 2 arrive dans 1 moi, mais je ne regrette pas mon achat. j'aime la série walking dead, et ça y ressemble beaucoup. l'ambiance est la. Des voix française auraient été au top. peut être un chouilla trop de zombies.
