Although State of Decay 2 was released back in 2018, the game has received continuous meaty updates that have greatly expanded upon, tweaked, and improved the game. With update 33, Heart Attack, I felt it was time to revisit State of Decay 2 with a properly updated review.

**State of Decay 2 Information**

Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
Type: Full Release
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, Series X and S
Genre: Third Person Open World Survival

**Pros**

The gameplay is simple on the surface but contains a lot of depth

Highly modular difficulty settings

Great survival gameplay

A dynamic and dangerous open world

High replay value

Years of updates have greatly improved the game

**Cons**

The AI for companions is pretty bad at times

The wave-based mode called Daybreak is really grindy and dull but unlocks overpowered gear for the main game.
