| Jaicee said: It's about the State of Decay franchise. I haven't played either of the first two entries before. The trailer for State of Decay 3 though caught me in just the right mood when it came out 'cause I really liked The Last of Us Part II and had just played through it at the time and something about the State of Decay 3 trailer just seemed to have a similar ambience that drew me in instantly! I know I'm definitely interested in at least trying out this third installment of the franchise, but I would like some realistic expectations about it, so if you've played the first two State of Decay games before...is this like a proper action-horror franchise with well-developed storylines and characters like The Last of Us titles...or more of a conventional open world type franchise that revolves mainly around completing checklists of mini-quests? How closely would you compare the State of Decay games to The Last of Us as a franchise? I ask because I am distinctly more interested in a Last of Us type of experience and want realistic expectations going in. |
State of Decay is completely different to TLOU. But it's also not a conventional open world game. It's got a lot of character, a lot of investment in characters even though it's not a traditional storyline, because of your own story and the RPG mechanics. If you liked the early seasons of the Walking Dead you'll get the idea.
Feel free to start with State of Decay 2, because the story is very intuitive, and it's about the characters you make more than the circumstances.
EDIT: missed the post where you already played it. yeah survival sandbox is the best way to describe it. Try nightmare mode lol.
