10 Exciting 2017 Video Games Nobody Is Talking About

6. State Of Decay 2

Although the zombie genre is a bit overused at this point, it's difficult not to get excited over developer Undead Labs' follow-up to their surprising 2013 hit State of Decay. What set State of Decay apart from other games within the zombie genre was the amount of depth its gameplay systems had, with the base-building and companion systems getting some additional praise.

In a genre that had seemingly seen it all, State of Decay offered something fresh. With a sequel coming this year, it seems appropriate to expect some more fresh ideas and concepts once again.

Very little is known about the sequel quite yet outside of what the initial trailer showed: more driveable cars, exploration elements, companions, and a whole mess of zombies to kill. The trailer did show off some potentially emotional moments with one of the playable characters holding someone closely, so perhaps there will be some feels to go with the zombie murder sprees.

It can be assumed that the base-building will be back on a greater scale, as well as the original game's many key components like the weapon variety and many recruitable characters spread throughout the world. It also shouldn't be forgotten that the trailer's tagline was "Nobody Survives Alone."

Co-op campaign anyone?
