What players say

Players are split on State of Decay: YOSE. Long-time fans find the jank and constant morale babysitting missions frustrating, while newcomers praise the dangerous survival loop and permadeath. The game has serious performance issues on modern PCs, but those who push through enjoy the base building and character management.
