i loved the first game and played the demo of it on xbox over and over again until it finally released. when i heard they were making a second game i jump outta my seat in joy, although it was at first only for xbox im glad they released it on steam as well (just like the first one). the game has its own unique loot system that i love from the first game, as well as great combat that they slowed down from the original to make it just that much harder. although state of decay 2 doesnt have a "story mode" which is by far the saddest part about the game, it does have new concepts like blood plague, new items and mods,clothing, and four new maps including the original Trumbull Valley that makes the game unique from the original. state of decay 2 also now has multiplayer which can sometimes be really funky, but still extremely fun. state of decay 2 is by far one of my favorite games and i will be playing it for years to come. no game is perfect however and state of decay 2 is the exception the game still needs work AI is by far the worst thing about this game, npcs get stuck all the time,zombies hoards spawn in rocks, FPS drops in certain parts of maps, missions sometimes never start, and cars seem to explode with the slightest bump. i give this game a 9/10

PROS:

great loot system
action packed till the end

horrible AI(by far the worst thing about this game)
a little confusing controls
UI is weird and funky
no story mode :c (i miss the story mode bring it back plz)
