I liked State of Decay for it's management, perma death of survivors along with them acting like extra lives type mechanics. Currently I'm playing Dying Light's DLC "The Following" and it's fairly decent, I enjoyed the base game a lot more thanks to it's parkour and the countryside does feel quite barren, empty and uninteresting (along with zombies literally spawning in front of me from think air). Dying Light I would say was the most anticipated zombie RPG I was looking forward to for a while and it delivered what I wanted, though Dead Island was also a nice series I loved but Dead Island 2 seems to be in limbo after the whole crap with Yager and them having split.
On the flip side Yager went on to develop a space flight combat simulator called Dreadnought that's due for PC sometime this year. looking forward to that.
I was going to get Dead Rising 3 but the PC port turned out to be not so great so I decided to just not buy the 3rd game at all.
My only two issues I have with Dying Light would have to be it's water visuals and heavy use of Chromatic Aberration. State of Decay for it's low end visuals and visual glitches (it's got a nice art style though).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
