Around a week ago, Microsoft provided Super Jump with a review code for the upcoming State of Decay 2, an Xbox One/Windows exclusive due for release on May 22nd. This is arguably the second big Xbox exclusive game of 2018, following Sea of Thieves, which was released in March.

State of Decay 2 is a follow-up to the original State of Decay, which launched on Xbox 360 back in 2013. It might be worth pointing out that this new game isn’t really a sequel in the way we traditionally think about sequels (that is, a story which continues on from the first title). Rather, it’s best to think about State of Decay 2 as an entirely new thing that exists without reference to the first game. It’s almost as though the developers, Undead Labs, are starting from scratch.
