Without a doubt, many gaming fans would consider Microsoft and Undead Labs' forthcoming survival-horror titleState of Decay 2to be one ofthe most exciting Xbox One exclusives in 2018, especially when one considers that its launch is now less than a week away.

As evidenced in the above footage forState of Decay 2, Microsoft and Undead Labs' survival-horror title is lacking in several ways – most notably in some of the running animations and in the unnatural-sounding voices that the characters have. Thankfully, the gameplay looks solid enough, and the price tag for the release will be forgiving on fans' wallets, asSoD2is only going to be sold for a mere $30. Hopefully, though, developers will be able to provide a patch smoothing over any issues onceState of Decay 2goes live.
