Undead Labs' State of Decay is perhaps the greatest zombie survival title currently available on console. With its emphasis on scavenging and fortress-building, the unique end of the world simulator is probably as close as you're ever going to get to experiencing what it's like to live through the zombie apocalypse. While other games set in the genre boast similar zombie killing mayhem, few actually focus on the human side of the conflict, namely the moments where you aren't just shooting brainless shamblers in the head. Instead of a combat-focus, State of Decay takes a unique approach and puts great emphasis on collecting resources in order to aid both your journey as well as any other survivors you meet during the RPG's play time. With not only your life hanging in the balance, Undead Labs' exclusive title manages to fully encapsulate the suspense and danger of the zombie apocalypse, as any set-back you come across could have absolutely disastrous consequences on your character's survival.
