state of decay: year one survival edition [update 4] pc

Zombies get blown apart more realistically by shotguns with arms flying off when confronted with a 12 gauge shotgun. While the graphics have undergone a slight overhaul, the new animations are great. Optimisation isn’t perfect however with stuttering and the loading of textures still an ever present issue. There have been optimization improvements with the Year One Survival Edition running better on my PC than the original State of Decay so while that was very welcomed, those on PC will probably feel that the original version should have received the same treatment. I only really noticed the difference in vehicles, with interiors of cars looking of a higher quality than previously. The graphics, while they have been improved, probably won’t be the first “improvement” you notice. The changes and improvements are subtle and aren’t immediately obvious, however. Gather resources and loot, complete missions, eradicate hordes and build up your own base, it has that Walking Dead feel to it when it comes to leading a group. The formula is still the same and State of Decay is as fun and entertaining to play as ever, giving you a group of survivors you need to lead to survival. I absolutely love it and when I have reviewed the game in the past along with its DLC, I have been left impressed and dying to play more. State of Decay is one of my favourite zombie games of all time. The experience is still the same experience that we have come to love, with the addition of somewhat improved graphics and optimization and a few new features taking the Year One Survival Edition a step above the original, however the changes probably aren’t enough to convince anyone but hardcore State of Decay fans to upgrade.

But what about those on PC who owned the original State of Decay with all its DLC, is it worth upgrading for? That depends on whether or not you are desperate to play the few changes which have been made to the game.

There’s no question that if you own an Xbox One, it is a must have if you have moved away from your 360, it is a no brainer. State of Decay, originally released back in 2013, has been remastered for next-gen with the addition of the Year One Survival Edition.
