Everything about this game was setup for success, but ultimately it succumbed to the fact that I ended up playing State of Decay 2 first and when coming back to this game, you could tell that they had improved a lot of the mechanics going from the first game to the second. While there’s no real fatal flaw in the mechanics themselves, they just aren’t as smooth compared to the second. I do think that the story would be worth it to play through, and I can’t rule out that I won’t pick it back up in the future, but for now, I’m putting it in the abandoned pile.
