“Very fun. Well spent money. My only issue with this game is that I was excited for the Jeep Cherokee XJ in the thumbnail, but all of them are destroyed... sad :( But I like the game, runs fine with my laptop on life…”
“This game has so much personality I am slightly biased because it is my childhood's game I was into zombies and I think this is the game that nailed that survival in a rural america. Despite some ugly graphics it still…”
“All i know about this game is about loot, loot, loot and... LOOT! a hoarder people would like this game for sure because scavenging & loot part is keep repeated in some point it can be tiring XD Well there some story in…”

“Simple, yet very entertaining with long replayability. Easy hardware requirements.”
“As my childhood game, I have so much love for State of Decay. There's just nothing like this out there for me, the character swapping, looting, upgrading your base, the whole aesthetic is just amazing and, after all…”
“Man oh man is this game great. But man oh man does it carry on and on and on with some achievements (like all heroes in Breakdown or 10 sieges in Lifeline). Most of the other ones are pretty fun though and breakdown has…”

“Just as fun as the sequel. A good game to get on sale if you enjoy searching for materials, fighting tons of zombies and minor base building. A true little gem.”

“I enjoyed the story; I especially liked when you get snippets of a hero's/character's personality through stories they share when rescued.”
“I liked this one as it had more of a story than the second. Although for me and I am sure many we don't need a huge story personally I just enjoyed doing stuff with the base so hopefully in the third one they can allow…”

“Port is awful, doesn't support 1440p natively, has graphical glitches that require mods to fix. Terrible AI that results in unnecessary and unavoidable deaths. Technical aspects aside, the game is average at best and…”

“Its unique game and there is no game like this out there and thats why i am giving it a thumbs up. On the other hand this game suffers from being poorly optimized and is full of bugs and glitches. Jank in this game is…”

— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“State of Decay: Year One, is a very fun but highly frustrating game. This is a buggy and messy experience, albeit a fun one. The graphics are par, while the voice acting and story itself is take it or leave it. The story is essentially the tutorial. The game mechanics and…”
— a player, Steam review · 66 hrs played“A long, long time ago, when this was an Xbox Live Arcade gem that basically fulfilled the teenage fantasy of surviving a zombie apocalypse, I would have given this game a pass.
