State of Decay 2

State of Decay 2 is a zombie survival game where you manage a community of survivors rather than playing a lone hero. You'll scavenge for supplies, build up a home base, and make decisions that permanently affect your group's story. The game supports co-op—friends can drop in to help with missions—but works fine solo too. Each survivor has skills that develop over time, and losing someone means they're gone for good. You're balancing immediate threats like zombie hordes against long-term needs like food production and morale. The world persists between sessions, so neglect has consequences. If you want survival mechanics tied to group management instead of pure combat, this delivers that loop without hand-holding.
