Scum Devs have put me off this game, will never pay them another penny. did i mention they are scum?

I bought this game twice, on Xbox and PC. And the Devs release an update for $30. Ok. Have fun losing a fan who supported you, and admired your work. I can't even play the game because this version doesn't work well, and I no longer have a working Xbox 360.

The new dlc locks down my OLD game i purchased so i cant play it unless i purchase the new DLC? Really?

You guys are theifs.

Steam should kick you off of steam for your scammy ways.

This game was epic not my top zombie game but up there however it is no longer updated in favor of the special edition. I understand that companies can't support their games forever but they are supporting the special edition but none of the updates are trickling down to us pleebs. I also understand that they payed extra to get more content. Which is well in good but you could at least send down the bug fixes so we can play the game again. This killed an impecable game which I throughly enjoyed. In short another great game killed by greedy devs. Game 6/10 Devs 0/10

This game was quite fun and I still find myself playing it on occasion, the bad review isn't necessarily completely the game's fault, mainly the developers. If you could care less, go buy YOSE unless you already have this version.

This game itself was quite buggy on many PC configurations, though I could have recommended this game to anyone despite the bugs because the gameplay was worth it.

However, the bugs and issues were fixable with some tweaks. Now, they charge for an update to the game which is a very scummy move from Undead Labs and it's becoming much more common with other developers as well.

If you already own this copy of State of Decay, save yourself the headache and spend your money elsewhere because the "Update" is not worth it. If you really want the game but don't own it, YOSE is the only (Legal) choice now.

Wow, I've been waiting for a long time for this game to get to the point that I wanted/could play it. I bought it when it was very very early release because I wanted to support the developers vision and help great sounding games come to fruition. So now here I am thinking that the game has had enough time to develop and WOW, just WOW! What an incredibly sleazy move. $30 to buy a game "fixing" update? Well, lesson learned. No more early access for me. Thanks Undead Labs for ruining what should be a positive thing for the community. I hope you all feel really terrible for dumping on your fans; but I'm sure the money will help you forget. It sure will help me not forget. Great way to lose customers. Cheers!

How can you even do something like that really?

Good, If you like buying your games twice.

Update: Was able to finally finish the game, took a lot of restarts and manually going to areas that seemed to potentially trigger the conitnuation of the story. Never got any of the remaining side missions though, like for the Wilkersens...but honestly idc anymore. Still a thumbs down. Hope they actually make an effort with SoD 2.

Sadly, I have to give this a thumbs down, because it's a buggy mess. The gameplay in itself is nice, the story is ok-ish, nothing crazy...the game is more about building up your home base and interacting with your neighbours. So it's a 3rd person zombie survival simulator with perma death for your poor people if they actually die. You go around scavenging stuff, helping people, upgrading or relocating your base, setting up outposts, exploring the world, killing zombies, etc.

In between that stuff you have quite a few story missions (rather short usually) that advance the overall plot. The only ♥♥♥♥ing problem is: There is no telling whether any mission it seems will actually spawn or not. And it seems everyone has these issues, yet the devs never fixed that bs...maybe in the Year One edition, but that's not even any ♥♥♥♥ing excuse to not fix THIS version of the game. So, sometimes restarting the game works, sometimes not (at the moment). I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to finish it. Some missions won't spawn at all, while the final missions have after a restart, up until now. Extremely annoying and that's why it gets a thumbs down.

Apart from that the "off-line continuing world" is pretty annoying. It's a SP game, so when I'm not playing it, please don't advance the game...thanks. Just annoying to start up the game and have several rescue missions queued up, because your people are just too stupid to survive on their own.

DLCs are rather boring. One has you playing an endless game on the same map as the original game without any story missions, the other puts you in the shoes of a soldier, but also almost exclusively spawns random search and rescue missions. You're kinda supposed to just hold out and survive Zombie sieges. Not that interesting. After every siege there is a new story development, but nothing ground breaking. My GOD this game gets SO ♥♥♥♥ing boring. The same missions over and over and over again, pitting you against tougher and tougher opposition. Can't be arsed to finish the DCL...
