State of Decay 2 is already here for those who got their hands on the Ultimate Edition on Xbox One and PC, but the horde will come soon for the rest of us. With new zombies, encounters, permadeath, and colonies to keep alive, this sequel looks like it has much more to offer than its post-apocalyptic predecessor.

The resounding cry from critics is that the title is swimming in bugs. In our verdict, we said "State of Decay 2 runs extremely poorly, even on Xbox One X."
