| Game Analysis | Unlike games such as Left 4 Dead, State of Decay will focus more on survival. Stealth, evasion, distractions, securing the player's resources, and moving through the world will be more emphasized than zombie combat. The game will be open world, where the player's choices will be an important factor. Players will be able to build structures such as sniper towers and barricades to defend against the infected population. Food, water, shelter, ammo, and supplies such as copper wire will be necessary for survival. To obtain these supplies, the player will need to go on raids to abandoned supermarkets and many other shops, or the player can grow food themselves. The player will also be able to rescue other NPC survivors, such as electricians, to help with defense, repair damaged electronics in the player's base, or to help with the player's raiding parties. However, the player will also be able to be a lone wolf, moving from building to building trying to survive. | |

New review after playing Lifeline DLC.
Still holds up as a game. Still a great 15-20 hour experience in a town surrounded by zombies. If polished and expanded on, this game might be genius and godly. At this point it’s solid, grasping and very playable. And even replayable as DLC proves. Because basically Lifeline is the same gameplay in another town with another premise (now we are the army, not random survivors and we get orders), other than that and new weapons, new car and some new features (car trunk, dayum!) it’s pretty much the same game.
You establish a base, you try to upgrade it and you scavenge for resources, while rescuing people and ultimately trying to escape the city (or do whatever it is you are supposed to do). Very fun for a weekend.
Though there are some major flaws to the game including:
-it’s a console game. All the bad stuff that is usually accotiated with it is here.
-bugs (sometimes I even had to reload to unbug stuck characters)
-not that great overall gamedesign: the base upgrades seem pretty useless and lackluster, the inventory system is not perfect to say the least (yeah, yeah I get it it’s a console game), different cars don’t differ so much, weapons too, really. The fighting system is sloppy. Infestation/incoming horde/hunt the zed mission feel like a useless chore. The “reputation system” is strange and I am not even sure why it’s there. The resource system is better but still it’s not at the core of the game and sometimes I find it hard to even understand why I need a medic, medical station and supplies or food.
So, I mean. The flaws are there. Still the experience is very solid and I stand by my old review:
==========
Zombies. Sandbox. Survival.
Limited ammo, heroes that will quickly get ripped apart if overwhelmed, struggle for resources and other survivors.
If all that floats your boat – you have to play this. =)
=============
I hope if they ever do a part two, they get more work done in the design field, because the outline of the gameplay is there and it’s good.
Surprisingly good, the mechanics were ‘meh’ sometimes, but the urge to get supplies keeps you on your toes and the story is not bad at all
This game started very bad for me. I loged in and what shocked by the graphic. If you keep playing though it gets better. It actually turn to be not that bad game – 7/10
