#STATE OF DECAY 3 FUEL EFFICIENCY PC#

The only major graphical glitch I encountered was a vehicle that flickered between its 'damaged' and 'repaired' state like some kind of ghost truck, and that only happened once. I didn't notice any problems like texture pop in and so on, in fact the draw distance was quite impressive.

After bumping things up to 'ultra' this dropped to a consistent 30 FPS. At the recommended graphics setting (high) the framerate hovered around the 55-60 FPS mark.

I was playing State of Decay 2 on a middle of the road PC (Intel i5, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 970). During my playthrough I didn’t lose anyone. The one time I got into a truly life or death situation (a comedy of errors involving a horde, an exploding car, and a super powerful ‘feral’ zombie) I was offered enough ‘mash this button to avoid death’ moments to escape with my life. The game tells me that permadeath is in effect, but in reality I found it surprisingly hard to get myself killed. At times I was almost frustrated that I was playing this for review, and couldn’t dive into a world of wikis and guides to figure out if ‘gardening’ was a better skill than ‘pop culture knowledge’ (it is).įor a survival game, it can feel oddly safe at times. There are skills to upgrade, ‘standing’ is a kind of experience that gives community wide boosts, and ‘influence’ which is just money. That isn’t to say there isn’t a ton of RPG-style levelling in this game. Special zombies like screamers and bloaters can ruin your day in a fair fight, but if you catch them by surprise, a single headshot or stealth takedown can end them.

There’s an admirably flat difficulty curve too. All this exploration leads to some very satisfying melee combat, or shooting, if you can spare the ammo.
