State of Decay 2 and all of its many MANY improvements is getting squished together with a bunch of DLC to form the unstoppbale Juggernaut Edition.

It may have been a buffet year of endless hit games, but 2018 was also a year where disappointment was regularly served up on a plate. We’re not talking bad games here, but rather those games that failed to live up their own hype or even the most tempered of fan expectations. Whether they were unpolished, woefully lacking in features or simply just a chore to play, here’s a look at 2018’s biggest disappointments.

The US games retail-tracking company the NPD has released its figures for last month, showing that Sony’s PlayStation 4 remains the best-selling console in the US. As is usual, their analysis includes hardware, physical copies of games sold at retail, and some (but not all!) games sold digitally.

I really enjoyed my time with State of Decay 2. That’s probably in spite of the game, rather than because of it. It’s got a number of lovely systems that are all hampered by janky controls, poor performance, glitches, bugs and an overwhelming lack of polish. Still, if you can get past those, there’s an enjoyable management sim-cum-action game buried under the surface. The game is everywhere – and that’s reflected in its scores, which range from gushing praise to vitriol. Here’s what critics think of State of Decay 2

Worried that your PC won't keep up with an Xbox playing State of Decay 2? Don't stress, because the requirements are more than reasonable.

One upcoming game that won’t be dipping its toe into those battle royale waters, even though it has the potential to not be too shabby at it? Microsoft’s zombie apocalypse survival sim State of Decay 2.

State of Decay 2 leads a strong month of co-operative and sporty titles coming to Xbox Games Pass in the month of May, and there's a big discount on subscriptions too.

State of Decay 2 is not the biggest exclusive Microsoft has to offer, but with a new release date in May it does have the chance to leave a big impact before E3.
