After playing lots of Left 4 Dead 2, which is an FPS zombie game, I decided to expand my taste for zombie games and found State of Decay: an open-world third person survival game.
Yes, I said open-world. Grand Theft Auto style (speaking of grand theft, you can drive vehicles in the game and run over zombies. Now that's fun.)
It's available
I got it through that-site-you-know-but-I-mustn't-speak-about and it's pretty awesome. We can basically sum it up as a GTA with zombies.
You might be thinking: sounds nice but I bet my crappy PC won't even run it. Don't worry! I thought that too (need new PC...) but I can run the game nicely on any spec settings! See the minimum specs below.
Features
- 2 hour day and night cycle: 1 hour of daylight and 1 hour of night.
- Skill progression system: for example, a skill like fighting can be improved through combat with melee weapons (baseball bat, machete, pipe, etc.).
- Play as a community struggling to survive. If your community has more than one person, you will switch to another community member when you die.
- Recruit survivors with unique sets of skills (gardener, mechanic, chef, soldier, etc.).
- Variety of zombies: slow moving, fast-moving, and special types.
- Randomly generated missions such as rescuing a survivor, scavenging, zombie hunts or infestation clearing.
- Randomly generated items in buildings that can be searched for. Once an item is taken from a location there will never be a re-spawn of additional items.
- A wide selection of ground vehicles to drive.
- The ability to claim certain buildings with a defensible perimeter (fence, wall, etc.) as a home base and creating outposts.
- Home sites can be upgraded through the use of interior and exterior facilities (Workshops, Garden, Watchtower, Dojo, Kitchen, etc.).
