State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition {PC} is an enhanced edition of third-person action game State of Decay from 2013. Undead Labs created this version, just like the original one. The title was greatly improved, so the players admire graphics utilizing much better lighting, textures and animations. This, however, is not the end of changes: the developers also introduced new weapons, vehicles and a handful of new missions and characters, as well as improved the combat mechanics. On top of that, there is the content of the Breakdown and Lifeline expansion packs. Moreover, Danish composer Jesper Kyd (known for the soundtracks for the Hitman and Assassin’s Creed series) created about extra 30 minutes of music specially for State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition.
