It doesn’t turn the game into a gorgeous, triple-A production, but it’s another improvement that shows the team over at Undead Labs cares. Along with improvements to bugs, SOD2 has also been given a little bit of a graphical enhancement, with a new lighting system and better textures. State of Decay 2 runs miles better than it did back in 2018. Thankfully, after hours of playing, I didn’t experience one instance of any of this, even on a launch Xbox One. SOD2’s launch was infected with a multitude of bugs, frame rate drops and other technical problems. Regardless, Daybreak is probably the quickest way to have fun in SOD2 with sweat-inducing rounds that show just how much potential there is in State of Decay’s sandbox. You can play Daybreak online or by yourself, however SOD2’s borderline terrible friendly AI makes this less than ideal. You do get points whether you win or die that’ll unlock weapons for future run throughs, but there’s a missed opportunity here to connect it with the campaign by potentially giving your enclave rewards too. You might have a decent plan to keep hordes away from tearing your walls down, but Bloaters can stop you from accessing areas and Ferals have the ability to just climb over your fortifications, adding a level of unpredictability and spontaneity to matches. Not only are there a seemingly never-ending amount of regular zeds, but Freaks constantly show up to throw a wrench in your strategy. It’s very easy to be overwhelmed in Daybreak. In breaks between waves you can reinforce walls, heal your team or run into the darkness for supplies to prepare for the next gruelling pile of brain eaters. It essentially works like Horde Mode from the Gears series, with waves of zombies attacking your stronghold.
It doesn’t give us the same great character interactions as the first game but it still fleshes out the SOD world enough.ĭaybreak is State of Decay 2’s second expansion pack and is definitely the most addictive, tense and corporative mode in State of Decay 2.
It’s nice to see the original’s map with a shiny coat of paint on top and Heartland also scratches some of the narrative itches left behind by the campaign. Heartland takes us back to Trumbull Valley, for a story-focused adventure. Juggernaut Edition also packs in SOD2’s two expansion packs as well.
